Introduce/Reintroduce Yourself

[Stellapedia]

Welcome Estelle and the whole gang!

You comming over this week at all?

We have another regular poster who has a service dog, she has always wanted to write a book "The service dog guide to Disney"

We'll be there Saturday. Not sure if we're heading over Friday night or Saturday morning. I do need to find a hotel, I keep putting that off. I didn't know about GD this weekend (I thought it was the weekend after) when we planned, so it might be harder to get a hotel than I had anticipated! Hope not. Eh, if nothing else, I'll just book the cheapest thing Hotwire has to offer.

SD guide to Disney- Dumbo is cool, Philharmagic is pure torture, and whatever you do make sure you have a blinking light! Oh, and no lady you do NOT need a picture of my dog. And please stop making kissy sounds to get him to look at you. He's working. See the vest? It says that. See my face? I say that. You want a picture of a dog, Goofy is inside the park, have at it.

My SD loves/hates Disney. I swear he dreads weekends. Here he thought he was getting a nice, sedate life, and we subject him to this. I do feel for the guy, especially after half a dozen turns on Dumbo.

Lucas, the other guide dog on our board, has even been on the teacups!

The only thing they wont let him on is Peter Pan. And I am guilty of always wanting to pet, play, and feed the service dogs! Sorry! I do behave, I swear.

Nice to have another family over here with kids!

Welcome Estelle and Family!

Don't be a stranger around here, jump right in on one of our crazy conversations!

I've never taken him on the teacups. I love him too much. Plus, when I do teacups, well... I don't want the centrifugal force to throw him right out.

Sometimes I don't mind people asking to pet him. If there are kids on the monorail with us at night (when they stop all the time and the ride takes forever), I'll take off his vest and let him play. We were there with friends two weeks ago and their daughter couldn't wait until our hotel pizza/movie night because she knew then his vest would come off and it would be play time. She was thrilled to see him naked.

I had one guy, an adult, crawl under the table at a kidcot station so he could pet the dog. That's something I'd expect (and forgive) of a 5 year old, not a grown man. There are times when I just want to stamp people. as it is I got pretty snotty with him and he huffed away.

My name is Estelle, from the Tampa Bay area, easy to shoot over to WDW almost every Saturday.
AJ and I have two little boys (3.5 and 6 months), a service dog, 3 cats, and roughly 7 hermit crabs. I work in finance for a non-profit hospital and AJ stays home with the boys.

We're at WDW 2-3 times a month, boys and dog in tow. We never intended to become disney freaks, but they're so accommodating to our son and I've never been someplace where the dog was so welcome. So, we got sucked in and we're thoroughly stuck now.

Hi, Sean!

Great to see you here on the DIS!

Did you get embelished at Epcot this year?

Hi, I'm Hawleys and my wife, DJ Belou, and I live in Berkeley CA. I grew up in Boston and slowly made my way west until I couldn't go any further. We are taking our nephew Baedyn to Disneyland on August 8th and I have so enjoyed reading all the posts on the Dis. It seems like the Gay and Lesbian threads are mostly for WDW but maybe some of you will make your way to the Left Coast to visit DL sometime.

I think that I am heading down the slippery slope of becoming a park fanatic...spending way to much time thinking about how we could finaggle a couple other trips. Talking to the wife today and trying to convince her that we should convert our three for five park hoppers for our August trip to APs and go back for Gay Days in Anaheim. (Plane fares of $119! Hotel rooms for $44!)

We have another niece and nephew in addition to Baedyn and since we are taking him, it seems only fair that we should plan a trip for them as well. Found out my sister is pregnant with her third kid, first thought, whoo hoo, Disneyland again!

Anyway, I've been enjoying reading some of the threads around here. You can follow our trip planning at this thread: http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2192566

Cheers!
