**Introduce yourself!!!**

Hi everyone,

I am 31 and have been obsessed with Disney for as long as I can remember!
I am coming to DLP in July with my DH and three DS aged 2,5 & 10. We have not told them about the trip and are not going to tell them until they probably guess when we get on the euro star

This will be our 3rd trip to DLP but my DS (2) first so very excited! Really can't wait to see his face!

In october 2011 I had my first ever trip to WDW which was amazing! (I cried twice before I even got in the park)
We are now planning our second trip for 2015 for hopefully 3 weeks

I have found so much useful information on these boards.

Thank you everyone xxx

My name is Marcus (26) and I live in Germany. Since I was a child I dreamed of Disneyland. And then when I was 12 years old DLRP opened. And when I was 13 my Dad booked our first trip. Until then I have been 11 times in DLRP. And since 2001 I am accompanied by my boyfriend. He is not a DLRP fan but he says I have that special kind of happiness when I'm there, and that is why he likes to be with me there!



Since 1993 I have fullfiled 2 of my 3 biggest Disney-dreams. Number one was to stay one time at the Disneyland Hotel! And number two was to stay at least one time in every Disney hotel. And as you can see in my signature I have fullfiled these dreams. Dream number three is to stay one day at the Castle Club. Hopefully we can afford this one day.

I am also interested to visit one of the american Disney parks, but I am a little afraid of the size of Disneyworld so we would maybe visit Disneyland. In addition this is the only "real" Disneyland!

Please invite me on your next Disney adventure

Hello everyone

My name is Melissa, I am 29 y/o and I am a Canadian currently living/working in Egypt. (I am a high school Drama/English/Psychology teacher)

I have been a fan of Disney my entire life, and have made many trips to 3 of the main parks

WDW (et al) 1992, 1993, 2000, 2002
Disney Hong Kong 2010 (October- Halloween was awesome!!)
DLP- 2012 March, and going back March 2014

I have posted a thread with some questions, and so far I love all the information I have learned today!

Sidenote, part of my trip this year is because my laptop was stolen and I lost all of my pictures from my first trip

but I have plans to see all the Disney parks in the world.... only a couple left

Hey,

I'm a 29 year old mommy to 4 amazing children, 9,5,4 and 1, I promised my eldest son we would go to disneyland before our 3rd child turned 5 so they all get a chance to enjoy the magic!! So we have booked a ferry trip (easier to carry their own pillows, buggys, teddys and everything else that a family of 6 need)! We had initially booked a 5 day trip but have now extended it to 9 days!!!!! Going May 2014. Never been before but cannot wait!! Children don't know anything about it going to surprise them on the day!!! I'm sooooo giddy! I'm picking up things to put together a "surprise bag", so far I have bought a monsters inc bag, and have 2 costumes for my girls!

We are not staying on site, but just in a 2 bedroom apartment in marne la vallee, just trying to reduce our costs and going to buy annual tickets ( all thanks to this site I know what to do).

Complete first timer for everybody and can't wait! My daughter will turn 6 when we are there and it's also a 30th gift for me!

Did I mention I'm super excited!!

Hi all!

My name is Emma! I am 21 years old (almost 22!) from Sussex, England and I work as a Telephone Fundraiser. I have a fiancé, who lives in Long Island, NY. Which had made for some wonderful and interesting experiences, including our first vacation together to WDW last summer! Also mother to one cat, Misty, and planning to return to uni to finish my degree in Music with Musical Theatre in September. In my free time I perform in local theatre and love going to London to see Musicals. Basically my life is the theatre. XD

I have been hooked on Disney since I saw Snow White at the age of 2. She's still my favourite Princess, although I love all of them. I'm also a huge fan of Winnie the Pooh (fun fact, I live really close to Ashdown Forest AKA the real 100 acre wood!) Oh, and I am now completely obsessed with Frozen, I've been a fan of Idina Menzel (voice of Elsa) since I saw her in Wicked in 06.

Disney trips:
2000- DLRP
2004 DLRP (day trip with school)
2004- WDW (christmas)
2013- WDW
2014- DLRP upcoming day trip birthday celebration!

One of my life goals is to visit every Disney Park in the world. Can't wait to get to know everyone!

Here's a pic of the Fiancé and I with our BFFs in Hollywood Studios:

[Timm]

Hello everyone,

My name is Timm, I am 32 years old and I am from Germany. I am living in a town called Wilhelmshaven, which is located at the North Coast. I am married and have a 6 year old son.

Since I was a child, I was a very big Disney Fan, collecting everything what had to do with Disney. After Disneyland Paris opened 1992 it was my wish to visit the Resort. This dream became reality in the year 1997, when my parents first visited the park with me. It was a awesome and many visits later, the biggest wish of all came true in the 2012, when we first visited Walt Disney World in October.

Now 2 years later, we still can't wait to do our next visit to WDW in October 2014, this time togehter with my parents, followed by our first Disney Cruise.

Lets see what happens in the future, visiting the other Disney destinations in the world are still our plan...

Beside Disney I am very interested in all kind of Amusement Parks, watching Movies and TV Shows. Together with two other friends I helped building up the German Disneyboard "Main Street Emporium".

Hi Thought it was about time...

I'm 38 and live with my husband and our two daughters on the Suffolk/Essex border. DH thinks I've become a bit DLP-obsessed but since our first trip I've been hooked, I just can't help it! These fantastic boards have certainly helped us get the most out of our last few visits.

We're currently planning our 2nd offsite trip, making use of our APs before they expire! It's been a difficult time as I lost my Mum at the end of last year so we really can't wait for our next holiday

[Komble]

Whoops! I haven't introduced myself yet...
I'm Kimberley I'm 22 (although I'm going to be 23 on the 30th April!) and I live in Hampshire. I've been to Disneyland California twice - in 1998 and 2000. I've been to Disneyland Paris quite a few times with my mum, who used to post here under the username Kevankiki. The last time I went was in 2010 so I'm excited to be going back in February 2016 with my boyfriend, arriving on the same day as our 5 year anniversary.
I'm currently studying Primary Teaching & Learning at the Open University, hoping to one day become a primary school teacher. In my spare time I enjoy playing video games & watching films and TV. I volunteer at a local primary school and I love it there so much, it really helps with my studies. I have a cat called Kasher and a rabbit named Potato..
I look forward to being active on this forum - hoping that it helps pass the very long wait (9 months+) - I'm driving my boyfriend up the wall already, whenever we are together all I can talk about is Disneyland!

I have been to Disneyland twice (1998 and 2015), and Walt Disney World four times (2011, 2012x2, 2014). I will be visiting Disneyland Paris for the first time in May.

I work full time for the head office of a car rental company and am a full time student, perusing my Bachelor of Business Administration degree.

 

[elena_n2o]

Hello all!

My name is Elena, I'm Spanish, my husband English, and we live in Luxembourg with our little princess who just turned 4. I've always been a big Disney fan, my DH has grown to accept it (didn't really have a choice), and my daughter being my daughter is of course mad on Disney.

We've always gone regularly to DLP (it's a 3 hour drive from home), one year I managed to go 8x!! Ironically we've slowed down since having our daughter (mostly because prices keep going up and our budget with a child keeps going down.....). Over the last two years we've tried to make the most of her not being in school so we could go when it was nice and quiet (even managed to convince DH that APs were the way to go), unfortunately from September she's in school so we will probably go even less... My DD's AP runs out in May and I managed to add another trip just before, we'll see after that...

On the other hand we're doing our first Disney Cruise this June, so cannot complain too much

 

[Komble]

8 times in one year?! That's so cool..

I've never been on a Disney Cruise so you must let me know what it's like when you get back!

also, Luxembourg looks so pretty!

Luxembourg is beautiful, I love it. Particularly now in the spring or in the start of the autumn, on a sunny day...

Will do about the cruise, I can't wait!!

Hi everyone!

I'm Liza, 37, and live in the U.S. (Michigan) with my 9 year old son. I was born in the U.S. but was raised in Italy and lived there until the age of 21, when I moved back to the U.S. on my own.

We have been to WDW more times than I can count and are pass holders. This August will be our very first trip to DLP and we are super excited.

Also planning a Disney Caribbean cruise in 2017 for my 40th and my Mom's 60th birthday. It will be our first time ever on a cruise.
