Just curious about how you all found the DISboards? My DW ::MinnieMo while planning our May 2005 WDW trip found the DISboards while doing a search :surfweb: 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. :thumbsup2
 
:confused3 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. :teeth:
 
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....... :lmao:
 
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! :teeth:
 
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. :lmao:
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!
 
I think I found it using a google search, but it was a long time ago now so I can't really remember!!
 
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! :goodvibes
 
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! :teeth:
