Hi everyone! 
I never noticed that the "welcome" board was here before, so I apologize if I've committed a faux pas by posting elsewhere first!
I'm a longtime lurker...I think I first discovered this board 10-12 years ago, and I had a different user ID then. I'm pretty shy by nature, so I only posted a few times though. My computer crashed a couple of years ago so I got a new one, and my password and ID were saved in the old one. I couldn't remember them when I tried to go on the site recently with my new computer, so I just created a new ID...I hope that's ok!
So...we've recently moved from Orange County, CA (where we were longtime AP holders) to a small town in Michigan, and we're having MAJOR Disney withdrawals! What precipitated my coming back to the Disboards is that H and I are taking a trip to WDW for his birthday in April, and we're contemplating a trip the week before Christmas as well. We went to WDW for our honeymoon 24 years ago, and have been back once or twice a year almost every year since then. One of the years we made multiple trips we bought APs, and we're looking to do that again, since we'll probably be going back in December and my H will be attending a conference in Orlando in June, which we might make a WDW trip out of as well.
Anyway, thanks to the Disboards for being so welcoming and for providing such incredible information over the years! I hope I can come out of my shell a little more and be a more regular poster, because I've realized that I actually have some info to share too. Sometimes I get intimidated because I don't like near WDW or make dozens of trips a year like many on this board are able to do...but I'll try to chime in when I think I can add something of value!
