Introduce/Reintroduce Yourself

[OrlandoMike]

With all of the new folks around here lately I thought I would unstick the "Introduce Yourself" thread that was started in 2006, and start all over here in 2008!

You can include your name, where you live, where you have lived in the past, marital/dating status/favorite Disney park/movie/song etc.

Just a chance for all of you new folks to get to know some of us who have been here for a while!

Welcome aboard everyone, and here's to a great 2008!

[jkCT]

I'm Jen from CT. Married for 13 years to a Kiwi (New Zealander)...we have two daughters, 9 and 10.

Favorite Disney park would be Epcot, World Showcase...but I'm really looking forward to the Magic Kingdom with my girls in April. I haven't been to Disney World since my honeymoon, so I can't wait! (driving the rest of my family crazy dis-ing and being hyper about it!)

Favorite non-Disney park- we live 2 miles from a small local amusement park called "Lake Compounce". It's hard to explain to my children how much bigger Disney World is going to be than the park they're used to!

Hello, my name is David and I'm a Homoholic.

Err, you know what i mean!

I was born 3 months and 25 days before MTV.

I have been with my DP since July of '01.

My favorite park is Disney's Animal Kingdom.

My favorite non-disney park is Seaworld (I'm an animal nut).

I have many children. 5 of them are cats and 9 of them are birds (2 weeks ago I only had 7 birds, but the lovebirds had a pair of eggs hatch).

I am addicted to an online game called EverQuest.

I am concierge in a place across a lake from a castle, and I greet everyone with "Aloha!"

[niceguy27834]

Okay...here goes. My name is Byron and I currently live in Greenville, NC. My partner and I have been together for three years now and we are raising my two kids from a previous marriage. My ex lives in the same town (that's an entirely different story---LONG one). We both work in the retail industry. I am quite the activist and I say what I think. I love equality bumper stickers and the back of my car is covered in stickers of a variety of topics. We now have a tradition of bringing the kids to Disney every summer when school lets out (we skip out a few days early to avoid the busy time of travel). We take advantage of every Disney ammenity that we can. Always looking for a price deal. Our favorite park would be the Magic Kingdom. Favorite ride would be Soarin'. SpectroMagic is our favorite parade and the Wishes fireworks ranks just slightly above the Fantasmic show. Can't think of anything else to add, so I'll see everyone around. Anyone that would be interested....I have a myspace profile that would love new friends. My ID is finallyhappyserious.

[paigevz]

Howdy from Texas, I'm Paige.

I love pina coladas, and taking walks in the rain.......oh wait, that isn't me, that's a song.

I have songs running through my head A LOT and I am apt to post them at any time.


I teach second grade. They are adorable little critters that leak. Currently mostly from the nose.

I am married to a hetero man, though given that I have accepted who I am and decided to stop hiding and pretending, that status is going to have to change. I have two sons, ages 5 and 12, one 10 year old Boston Terrier, and a two year old orange marbled tabby.

I really need some support, I have some rough road coming.

My name is Rob. My partner Scott and I live in the Ocoee/Windermere/Gotha area (about 8 miles due North of the Magic Kingdom). I grew up in a small town called Trinidad, Colorado, and have lived in Las Cruces, New Mexico; Lubbock, Texas; and Dallas prior to living here.

My partner and I met at Gay Days 2003 at Pleasure Island and are now planning our "Big Fat Gay Disney Wedding" in September 2008 (okay, so technically it's a "commitment ceremony" but whatever).

We're the proud new parents of Tolliver, the cutest dachshund puppy in the whole wide world.

Favorite Park: Epcot (Especially during the F&W Festival)
Favortie Attraction: Um . . . The Adventurers Club.

Oh, and I have some boring job at some boring time-share resort; but let's not dwell on that . . .

Something tells me that y'all will be sick of hearing about it long before it happens.

 

[PennyW]

Hi ... I'm Penny

I've been with my partner, Linda, for a little over 6 years now. We met at work and fell hard and fast.

We have 2 German Shorthaired Pointers (see below) who give us endless joy and grief, depending on their humor at the time.

We enjoy all things Disney, and will be making a long-overdue return trip this May. It will be our first stay in the BCV.

Nice to meet everyone!

Hi, I'm Jeff. I frequent this board because although I'm straight my Wife's daughter is gay. We love her, her partner and our 5 year old grandson! Too bad they live in Houston. Fortunately, they are all Disney nuts and we often meet at WDW.

You can check out our web site by clicking on my screen name to the left here and then following the link. Lots of pictures of us and of Connor (not so many of his two moms for some reason).
