How did you find the DISboards?

[fireman17]

Just curious about how you all found the DISboards? My DW while planning our May 2005 WDW trip found the DISboards while doing a search and was hooked. She then showed me and the rest is history and I was hooked as well.
So come on and tell your story about how you found our happy and yes, sick group.

Fireman17...you know I honestly don't remember. Probably
looking for all things Disney but I really don't get around very well on the
computer. I was reading the boards for a long while until my DGS
helped me to register. As you can see by the tink and my name
he sure does have fun.

My husband found and joined after our 1st trip in Sept. 2000. I finally joined in Aug. 2003, but just stayed on the Theme Park, Resort, and Restaurant boards. I decided to check out the CB about a year later.

I found it in April 1999 when planning our first WDW trip for that upcoming December.

I have been here ever since.

I'm pretty sure I found in 1998 while planning a dis trip. I knew there had to be discounts out there somewhere, found this board, and have been hooked ever since.
My ID doesn't indicate that I've been a member since '98 but that's because I forgot what my first log-in was and had to create a new one.

While searching for Disney info for our first trip in 2004, I found a blog by the Stringer family ( I think that it the right name ) from the UK. I read the whole thing and loved it and then I clicked on his link!

I booked a cruise on Carnival and while researching info re: cruises found the Cruise Critic Message Boards....

I then cancelled my Carnival Cruise (as they changed our point of itinerary)!

DH then says "let's try the Disney Cruise, after-all we have been to DisneyWorld so many times and loved it, cruising with them should be as awesome"....

I started inquiring on Cruise Critic about DCL and the Wonder and the Magic, when someone on C.C. tells me about the DIS BOARDS and how I would have a better chance getting all my questions about DCL answered over there....

HENCE, me joining the DIS and never looking back.......

It's all Carolyn's fault! And to top it off, she's a lurker, so you don't even know who I'm talking about!

I found it by luck. I was just about to leave on my first trip to WDW and was just looking up a few things before we left. And by chance, I came to the DIS. I wish I could have found it a bit sooner, but I can't have everything. Found it by chance, and Im here for good.

I was searching google for all things Universal (a sin I know) because we had made the mistake of deciding to go to Universal and Sea World (well we did at least love SW) instead of Disney. I found the Universal and Sea World boards, and eventually realized there were other boards here as well. Come to think of it I stumbled across the DIS years ago when searching for all things Disney (probably in '98 or '99) but was chicken to get involved since I was only 11 or 12 then, and I never really checked it out

I found it by accident. My DH and I were booking a trip online and I did a search. Before you knew it, I was trapped in here.
DH called me a "Disboard Attic." What do you think?

I was trying to find a good price on a disney cruise and googled disney cruise quote and this came up, actually it was wdwinfo.com but I eventually found this!

After our honeymoon trip in 1997 I was hooked on WDW. I found the DIS while researching a trip for 1998. I lurked for awhile, then became a member. Then the boards crashed and I lost my post numbers! Anyway, when I started DIS'ing there was I think 1 or 2 boards. It was such a small site it's so amazing how it has evolved! I can't imagine not DIS'ing!

 

[Danauk]

I think I found it using a google search, but it was a long time ago now so I can't really remember!!

Someone on another Disney board gave the link to me.

I think I found the DIS back in 2001 when I was doing research for a 2002 trip. I just lurked for a few years until I took the plunge and joined in 2004.

This is a great place and I've made a few good friends along the way!

I don't remember how I found it. It was 7 years ago though and I was planning a huge family trip. I probably did a search to find it. Didn't take me long to find the CB.

I saw the URL while looking through the UG book, checked it out, and have gotten more tips and help than I could have ever imagined finding. Now, whenever I run across anyone planning a trip to Disney, I send them to the DIS boards. If I worked on commission for all the folks I've sent here, I'd have a lot of Disney trips paid for!
