Introduce/Reintroduce Yourself

[OrlandoMike]

I've never been to any Disney park, but go to Cedar Point frequently.

We need to chat!

 

[rrobichaud]

Just got wind of this website and wanted to say hi.

My partner made me discover Disney World 18 months ago for my 40th birthday. We have since become DVC members and have been there 5 times in a year!

We did a Western Caribbean Disney Cruise last January and are going back on January 3rd 2009 for the Eastern one. This time we are taking his 15 yo son, my mom, sister, brother and sister in-law. We're Disney sluts and I think it's contagious. lol

Is anyone one here going on that cruise?

Looking forward to chatting up a storm with you,

Have fun, play nice!

I have a convention to attend in Orlando in early-November, so naturally I'm going to stay on-property and try to minimize my "work" and maximize my Disney-going.

42, partnered for 17 years, professional. I'll be traveling to WDW alone for the first time. I think it may be an interesting time, and am looking forward to it.

I've been going to WDW since 1974, at the Poly. Been hooked ever since.

Hi everyone, my name is R2 and I just happened upon this message board!

My partner (T2) and me have been together for nearly 9 years now. We reside in the obscure Kalamazoo, Michigan and are both IT nerds.

We are big Disney fans and have been to both Disneyland and Disneyworld twice in the past 7 years. We plan on going to Gay Days in 2009 (we went back in 2003) and are really excited about it.

To answer the normal questions:

Fav park: Magic Kingdom
Fav show: Fantasmic
Fav ride: it's a small world
Fav parade: ELP
Fav non-Disney park: Cedar Point

If you're from Michigan, be sure to drop me a line. Heck, even if you're not, drop me a line!

Welcome to all the new folks!

And once again...

Cedar Point rocks!

I bow to your superior knowledge and wise judgement.

Not that I would knock Disney, but I can't just jump in the car and spend an afternoon/evening there...unfortunately.

Salut rrobichaud! Bienvenue!

Howdy GMI3804!

Hello fellow Michigander, R2D1! Always nice to find someone else that lives in the great white (snow-covered) mitten!

Can't forget to say hi to Namine. I mean it would be just as easy to walk into the other room; but, it's the thought that counts. Right?

Its all a matter of perspective! Disney, I can hop in the car and be there in 20 minutes.....Blech....

Cedar Point requires a flight and a motel!

When you boil it down, they are both great places, it just depends on where you are at when you are on "vacation".

Or as I tell people...."At Cedar Point...the roller coasters don't fit in buildings!"

 

[hematite153]

I have to catch a plane, or, take a loooong drive to get to EITHER Disney or Cedar Point and...

I'm sorry Mike, but, I'd chose Disney anyday!

(Granted the two times I've headed to Cedar Point have involved buses from H#$@*!, but, I'd still prefer Disney.)

 

[gmi3804]

I have to agree about Cedar Point. Quite a different experience than Disney (not necessarily better/worse), but as far as traditional amusement parks go, they don't get any better than Cedar Point!

 

[TuckandStuiesMom]

And I had you on my side!

Oh Sweetie...I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. You and ripe cheese are two of my very most favorite things in all the world.

All this talk of Cedar Point made us decide to take a trip this weekend.
Up here it will turn to the nasty side of cold all to quickly, and amusement parks tend to be seasonal. November 2 is closing day for the season. And we have plans for the next two weekends, so its now or never. They also have a soft ticket Halloween event that's kinda like Halloween Horror Nights @ US.
Then the waiting beings until next season. No word on what the new attraction is going to be. Just pics of about 6 semi's full of lumber. How helpful is that?
Although the 2009 opening day hasn't officially been announced either, I am afraid its going to be May 9,2009. Bad part about that is--the PodCast Cruise. We plan on flying down to Orlando on the morning of the 9th. So, I guess we miss opening day...there will be others.

(btw, by my count there are only 206 days {~4928 hours} until 'Fun on a Boat' )
