If it were not for the DIS I would never have...

[lurkyloo]

Hey, thanks! If it hadn't been for the DIS convincing us to get married in WDW, we never would have met our amazing wedding photographers!

 

[Gav N Becx]

Hey thanks to everyone for your posts! So many great stories, thanks for taking the time out to post!

I have another...I would never have seen the inside of the Walt Disney and Roy Disney Suites on the Wonder. That was a real privilege

Here's a shot of the inside of the main living area in the Roy O Disney suite. If you can guess who's in the mirror in the background, then congrats you have great eye sight!

This is a great thread...let's keep this one going.

This thread is cool and it died down a few days ago. My turn...

If it weren't for the DIS...

-I probably would never have gone on a cruise and probably wouldn't my whole life (I was too scared!)

-I would have a lot of free time that I would be bored

-I wouldn't know that there are people just like me that love WDW as much

-I wouldn't know that people associate things such as sounds and scents with their vacations, like I do

-I would be boring. Well not really... but I think my love for WDW has made me a better person in some strange way.

-I would not have found WDW music on the internet and would not be listening to WDW music all the time (what would I listen to!?!, life without Tower of Terror Background music would be so mundane!)

-I would be even more anti-social if that is possible

-I would never have met ALL of you cool people!

-I wouldn't have the podcast to listen to and I would be a sad panda

If it weren't for the DIS & my BFF Stacy I would.....

~ Be rich because all of my money would be in the bank & not spent on visiting my long distant relationship with a Mouse.

~ Would be in a padded cell because I believe in fairies. (Only the Diser's understand)

~ Wouldn't have my co-workers coming over to my desk & asking if I'm ok, from laughing so hard from listening to the Podcasts.

~ Would literally a lump of mush because the Podcasts & Posts have helped brighten my days when my mom was very sick & then passing.

~ Wouldn't be going on a trip just so I could ride TSM as many times as I wanted, & eat & drink & be merry with people I have never met before!

~ Got my "people phobic" husband to go on a Disney Cruise with me next year!

These responses are fantastic.

If it wernt for the DIS.....

1. I wouldnt be so addicted to my ipod on my Thursday drive to work

2. Known what a podcast was

3. I wouldnt know of the humour and wisdom of our beloved Bob

4. Cared so much for a guy named Kevin and his eyes, and hold on to every word he says about food and restaurants, his kindle and iphone, etc.... (my DH finally has stopped asking me about who this Kevin guy is)

5. I wouldnt of known about the podcast team and have this feeling like they have always been my friends, even though we have never met

6. I dont know how I would feed my OCVP disorder

7. I would have never posted on the boards or become addicted to them (they pass the time at work)

8. Purchased Animal Crossings, thanks Pete for that bit of video crack

9. And I would of never known that there are so many people out there that love Disney as much as I do

10. That John was a genius

If it weren't for the DIS ...

1. I would not know what a podcast was or be so addicted to them

2. I would not have a way to relieve my boredom at work

3. I would not have gotten any relief from my anxiety during a health scare last year

4. I would not have gone to Disneyland or been able to convince my husband to go to Disneyland

5. I would not be talking so much about people I don't even know and getting crazy looks from my family

6. I would not have a way to feed my Disney Parks obsession

7. I would not be addicted to food porn

8. I would not know about all the little things that make the parks great

9. I would have swam in the lakes (JOKING)

10. I would be in bed already tonight LOL

If it weren't for the DISBoards:

- I never would have had such a great appreciation of a brain sucking amoeba

- I would have an extra hour a day to dedicate to other passions

- I wouldn't resent Wednesday night resident rounds since they conflict with chat

- I wouldn't spend my days at WDW trying to spot members of the podcast team

 

[bellaDisneydncr]

If it weren't for the DIS:

- I never would have found so many people who loved this stuff as much as I do!
- I never would have went to Home Depot just to clean them out of Lime Green Mickey head paint chips!
- I never would have looked twice at people wearing lime green shirts/accessories in the parks!
- I never would have been able to express my huge love for Disney anywhere else.

Hey everyone! Really great to read the latest additions. Thanks to everyone for posting and also to Kim for resurrecting the thread!

If it were not for the Dis I would never have seen the back exit out of Disney Studios (TSM)! It's just a bunch of operational buildings but really interesting to see at night when no-one is around and all the staff car parks are empty!

 

[tmli]

There are so many ways I could answer this but most importantly....

If not for the dis......I would never have met the love of my life. Yep, we met on the boards, just celebrated our second wedding anniversary, and it just keeps getting better and better.

 

[wdwowner]

1. I never would have had a friend like Bob, even though we never met I felt like I knew him forever.

2. I never would have gotten so hooked on a podcast about their love of Disney, only to have them disappoint me by moaning and complaining and putting down WDW and Disney almost every week. If you love something soo much that you setup a business and move to FL just to be closer to that place why use it as a punching bag all the time? You would think they work for Universal the way they talk about WDW at times.

3. The generosity of the Disney fan base. Every time a group of Disney fans raises money for a great cause they go far and above any expectations, time and time again.

If the DIS was not here...

Then I would not have been able to participate in the most wonderful, magical morning EVER!

I would not have seen Lucas, a Make a Wish child, get his wish granted.

I love the DIS!

BRAVO!! ^^^^

I would have never gotten into shape just so I didn't embarress myself while running in a race with 5 people I've never met.

I would have never been part of raising money for what has quickly become my most passionate charity.

I would have never shed a tear for the loss of a person I've never spoken to or met.

I would not have learned how to ignore peoples negativity and focus on the positive.

I would spend much more time playing farmville.

You forgot would not have 17 wives and be a virtual baby daddy

 

[slapwhitey]

As my wife so eloquently stated....if not for the DIS we would have never found each other. For that I will be forever grateful.

I would probably have no real use for the internet.....I could even give up Facebook since everyone I "know" on there are from these boards.

I would have significantly more $$$ in the bank. I wouldn't feel the need to go to WDW all the time, and podcast cruises, and ABD events. That being said, it's money well spent.

I would not have to repeatedly explain to people about my "podcast friends". I'm sure some people think I should live in a room with padded walls.

Great idea starting this thread. It's great to hear the stories.

Thank you.. This made me laugh out loud.

Hi Kevin.

Hi Kevin.

Hi Alicia!

As others have said, I have been enjoying what others have to say on this topic.

I think it's a great thread and despite the pointless negativity, I hope that it goes on.

If it were not for the Dis, I would not be able to say that........

I am the proud owner of TSM for Wii!!!!!!!
