Introduce/Reintroduce Yourself

[RENThead09]

Hey Mike,

Welcome!

Sounds like a great reason to take a trip! January will be my first to WDW as well. Hopefully the weather will be wonderful and not matter what, I am sure that you two will have a great time.

Hey everyone!

I'm Mike, and I'm 22 years old. I live in Massachusetts, but right now I'm in New York for college. I've been to Disney World a couple times, and I'm going for my third time in January with my boyfriend. He's 19, and we've been together for four months (I've only been out for five months, and he was part of the reason I did it). I'm taking him to Disney as a surprise since he's never been before (he's never even been on a plane). Can't wait!

Welcome Mike!

We're glad to have you on our little GLBT corner of the DIS!

Welcome Mike!

Sounds like you've got a great trip lined up, and you'll be able to see the wonder in his eyes of seeing it all for the first time. Pretty special in my book.

Hi everyone! My name is Patrick, and I'm originally from Chicoutimi, Quebec, but now in Toronto, Ontario. I'm 34, with my partner for over 9 years now and I'm a huge Disney fan. I work at Procter & Gamble, but also at the Disneystore part time here in Toronto at the Eaton Centre, so I can be part of the magic! I am a D23 member, and I go to a Disney Park every year. My first experience at a Disney Park was at Disneyland Paris in 2002; they were celebrating their 10th anniversary and the Studios were freshly opened. This was also my first encounter in person with the Mouse. I was in Heaven! I grew up with everything Disney, from my Mickey Mouse turntable (gosh!) to all the 33rpm's of Disney stories to all the books, Mickey and the gang were my best friends until kindergarten and beyond... So when I go to a Disney Park, it's like going to see old friends. I always line up to see Mickey and the gang and have as many pixs as I can!

I will actually be at the WDW for 11 days from the 24th of October to the 3rd of November. I'll be at the Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party ON the 31st (yes I have my tickets to this SOLD OUT night)! And I'll wear my Mickey Mouse Costume and have a snapsot with the Mouse in person. I can't wait! When I saw the 'What Will You Celebrate?' info in my mail back in December of last year, I called my best friend from Montréal and I told him we were going to celebrate our friendship at Disney World. He said yes immediately! Last time he was there was in 1977: he was 9 and he still has some papers about the EPCOT CENTER project; he never saw the World since and always wanted to go back. We don't see each other very often since 6 hours separates us and we both are urbanites who don't own a car (but we talk every week!). It will be my 5th time at World (and each time I go it's for a minimum of 7 days and stay on property and never leaves except to go to Character Premiere at the outlets!). My partner is not as much of a fan as me; he goes to Disney every 4 to 5 years, otherwise he's 'Disneyed out'. Me on the other hand, never gets enough! I love all the history, I apply a lot of the stuff I learn from the Disney Institute (in books) at work and sometimes even reapply the stuff I learn at the store! I love collecting pins. Anyway, just wanted to say HI to fellow LGBT and thanks to the DISBoard to actually include a portion specifically for LGBT people!

 

[OrlandoMike]

Patrick..

Welcome! Your gonna fit in well here! Please post more!

 

[LoveDisneyinToronto]

Well, I got so excited to say hi to everyone that I forgot to answer the questions:

Marital status: common-law relationship for 9 years
Favorite Disney Park: mmm... this one is very tough. Every time I go in the World it is for a minimum of 7 days... and I have to do each park for at least a full day. I'll go with the one that I think is the prettiest at night: Disney's Hollywood Studios. The neons at night are just spectacular.

Preferred movie: with 267 Disney DVD's and Blu-rays, this one is also tough. Best animated classic: Cinderella
Best live series classic: Zorro
Best animated renaissance: Aladdin (the genie is the gayest character ever!!! I can never get enough of his flight attendant impersonation)
Best live series renaissance: Golden Girls
Best cartoon series: Darkwing Duck (can also be very gay and campy)
Best Treasures: Disneyland Secrets, Stories and Magic
Best Park Music: Fantasmic soundtrack, Soarin' soundtrack, Wishes soundtrack, Main Street USA. Medley and Canada (you're a lifetime journey). I wish the last one was actually our National Anthem, especially since it has been redone with impeccable French and a much better singer (Eva Avila) (the other one was... dreadful).
Best Songs: When you wish upon a star, A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes
Best attractions: Splash Mountain, Soarin', Expedition Everest, Kilimanjaro Safari, Fantasmic, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Mickey's Philarmagic

BTW: I really wish I had a Disney Wedding too but it will never happen. My partner isn't into Disney that much: but I would love to have Goofy as my best man, and Mickey and the gang being present at the ceremony

Hi All! My name is Auds and I admit that I am a lurker! I have been on and around these boards for many years, just haven't posted much (ok almost at all, 2 posts besides this one, sad), and I am a recent transplant to Orlando. My favorite Disney has got to be Disneyland followed by Hollywood Studios (I'm a born and bred California girl so it's hard to remove DL even after moving to the World). My favorite Disney song is Candle on the Water from Pete's Dragon but I have to say that Define Dancing from Wall-E is really up there (after all it's Disney/Pixar not pure Disney lol). I'm recently single and in my 30's. Anything I missed?

... That you secretly lust for me.

Guess I should post in here too eh?

Andres - California. Born and raised in So Cal, and will most likely live all my life in So Cal.

Status: Taken, I guess you can say we aren't "officially" together, but we've been talking on the phone for well over a year, going to see him in about 2 weeks.

Favorite Disney Park is DUH.... Disneyland.
Movie is... I have no clue, their all special to me

I guess that's all, unless I need to include other things. o.o

Hi everyone! I'm excited to be here.

I am currently in Houston, Texas, about to return to the world for F&W this Saturday (omg time needs to speed up)

I'm 32, and been in a committed relationship for nearly 2 years with the best man in the whole world, Shawn. Sorry for taking him away from all of you! Best part is, he loves Disney as much as me, though he's a recent convert.

I have been to Disneyland once, in 1977, and I was about 6 months old and don't remember a thing. But Disney World is a different story. My first memory was in 1982 when EPCOT first opened. It rained a lot! And I remember Figment clearly. My mother bought a stuffed toy of him that she still has. I also made trips in 93, 94, 96, 98, 02, 04, 05, 06/07 (new years trip) and dec 08 (first trip with Shawn)

My favorite Disney Park is EPCOT. I can slowly walk around that lagoon every day and feel at peace. I recommend that segway tour in the early morning hours.

My favorite nonDisney Park is Cedar Point! I'm a roller coaster enthusiast, and I can't wait for Disney to expand more into thrill rides!

I'm very excited to find a LGBT/Disney community on the internet, and I hope to make some great friends here.

Welcome to the boards! Jump right in and join the craziness!

Smart Man!

Welcome!

Uh oh! Now you've done it. Christopher, you've invoked Cedar Point. If you mention marching bands or drum corps in any way, you'll never get Mike to leave you alone!

See . . . this is why TimRobb warned him about you on the other thread.

You really have no shame, do you?

 

[OrlandoMike]

Uh oh! Now you've done it. Christopher, you've invoked Cedar Springs. If you mention marching bands or drum corpse in any way, you'll never get Mike to leave you alone!

Cedar Springs?

Drum Corpse?

Are you drinking without me?
