Hello & welcome all you new PA-ers (and you too Penny - it's been awhile!)
I just wanted to welcome you to the best bunch of Disney fans you'll ever meet. I came on The DIS Boards about 10 years ago when planning my 1st trip as an adult with my young son. Since then I've used the DIS to plan up to 3 trips a year, and to just dream & read along times when there were no trips in the plans. That young son is now turning 14. Boy does time fly.
There was another PA thread on The Community Board, and about 5 years ago a bunch of us PA-ers decided it was just time to meet. We started meeting while on vacation at WDW at the same time, or here in PA. We became such close friends that we actually started planning trips together. In 2 weeks I'm going on my 3rd Girls Only PA Trip - all ladies who met right here on The DIS. That says a lot about the type of people you will meet here. We're the nicest group of internet strangers you'll ever meet!
I just think that's amazing that some of my best friends I met right here on The DIS Boards. Here's to hoping that this PA thread can spark some new friends too!!
