Hello my name is Carla Rae and my partner is Gilchrist. We are huge fans of Disney and all that is Disney.
We love going to Walt Disney World and Disney Land.
We are DVC members since 2008.
We both are educators. I am a reading Specialist and Gilchrist is the Department chair of Humanities at a Community College and she also teaches Writing and Sophomore Literature.
We are zendisney and minniemimi52 on the boards.
The first time we went to Disney together was in 1995. Gilchrist wanted me to to go with her because she was worried about me. She knew I was devastated because my sister had just died seven months before and I was still working out the grief from her death... You see we had just been together for 5 months and my mom died and Gilchrist didn't want me to be
alone in Philadelphia. I was with my family but I really was missing Gilchrist. (Somehow she knew) So she called me and said " I wanna buy you and plane ticket home and then I want to take you to Disney." I was stunned. I didn't know what to do so I just went. We had a fabulous time and that was the start of our love of Disney together. I don't remember a whole lot about that trip but I do remember feeling a lot of love and magic all around. Corny or not that's how it all started. Now you can't get us away from it. We love it all. We are raising our granddaughter who is 3 and she loves it too. That's what it's all about sharing the love and magic with the people who mean the most to you.
Peace and Pixie Dust!

I've taken the kids at least every other year since they were toddlers but this will be Mel's first Magical experience. And Hoping she will be just as fanatical about DW by New Years as I am or we might have some serious problems. I am planning on staying at the campsites at Ft. Wilderness - maybe this will enhance her enjoyment, she loves the roughing it thing
...my idea of roughing it is a motel 6. We will be there from Dec 18-26th if anyone has any Holiday suggestions or ideas. Already planning the must do's: Candlelight Processional, Osbourne lights, checking out the resort decos, and Christmas around the world. Even trying to work in the "ICE" exhibit at the Gaylord Palms, if any of you have been would love to hear some feedback.
