Hello! New to the board. I'm Amber, 30. My partner is Tammy, also 30. I'm a Disney freak (at least that's what my other friends say) and I'm in the process of turning Tammy into one. Woo! She's always loved Mickey and she's not too jealous of my thing for Ariel and Jessica Rabbit.
I returned to WDW last year after a 6 year hiatus and have since decided that it's an annual trip from now until I get sick of it. I promised Tammy that we would visit Universal in a few years. Maybe.
We're headed down again the last week of September. It will be her first trip and I'm soooo excited for her.

Hi all... it's been a couple weeks since we last posted - sounds like confession, or so I've heard from our Catholic friends. Two weeks ago, on 6/24, Will and I celebrated our sixth anniversary and the beginning of our seventh year together.

We met at Gay Pride in New York City in 2000 while we were both staying at the Hilton in Midtown. Will had traveled over from Boston with his soon to be ex and two of their friends. I traveled up from Florida with one of my cousins. As it would happen, Will's soon to be ex was also one of my cousins. Sounds creepy, but it wasn't really. I had never met his ex (my cousin). Their trip to NYC was planned to be their last before they listed their brownstone on the market and went their separate ways. My arrival just happened to expedite that plan.

Three months later, after the brownstone was sold, Will moved to Florida and my very short-lived relationship with my cousin came to an end when he found out this his ex was moving in with me. To this day, he still accuses me of taking his b/f... forgetting all the while that his relationships was over because Will wouldn't tolerate his cheating and drinking anymore.

How's that for drama? Oh, the first year was a lot of fun (smiley face for tongue in cheek) but the past five have truly been a lot of fun.

BTW, just 62 days until we arrive at the Walt Disney World Resort - our first visit since we moved to Texas last November.

Best wishes,
David

It is so nice to meet other gay couples on here.It is so hard to meet them within the communtiy.We are a boring couple.We dont go out to bars/Clubs.We like to stay in on Fri/sat nights and watch movies and eat popcorn.Rather than shake our groove thang.Which we plan on doing at mannequins while at WDW...


Congrats to all the couples here!!

Hi everyone! Ok, I'm extremely new to these boards (obviously, I just signed up today!), so bear with me! Anyway, I'm Shannon (30ish), and I live with my partner, Sherry (20ish) just north of Denver. We've been together for about two years now, and this will be our first trip to WDW!!! Woo hoo!! I think I'm slightly more excited than she is, but that's alright! This is actually our first vacation/trip together without the rest of my family, so we're definitely looking forward to it!

Really quickly about us, I work as a transportation planner for the Denver Region, and she's a CNA at a dialysis clinic. We're both starting school again in September (Lord willing!), so this will be a great break before reality hits! We're currently living in my parents gigantic house (hate it!) while they're in the Middle East, with Madigan (our pomeranian), Charlie and Pheobe (our two cats). We're not much for night life (should probably get into it a little more than we do now), we prefer catching a movie or spending time on the lake.

Anyway, all in all, we're both fairly new to all of this (WDW, and the GLB community), so have mercy on us!

 

[Psychometrika]

Welcome...this is indeed a great board. I've been here only a relatively short period too but I am addicted to it. As another 'boring' couple, can't wait to someday start meeting some of you in person.

Hi everyone, I'm Katie 26 my DH 33 we live in NY near Albany. We have two kids Gabriella 22 months and Dominic 5.5 months. My son Dominic was born with a cleft lip and palate and a long list of other health problems. My DH works for the NY state police and I am working on going crazy! I thought I would introduce myself since I am always reading this board.

I was just curious where "near Albany" you're from exactly... my family spent three years in Clifton Park (I was only there for one), and my brother graduated from Shen HS probably about the same time you would have.

Heya Folks!

"Hey" from good ol' center of the Universe Nebraska!
My partner John and I have visited Disney 5 times in the past 3 years and we are fanatics... FANATICS! We go totally nutzo at WDW and try to be on our wierdest behavior down there. Ya cant miss us with my 6'7" height... hell, John is 6'5" himself! Our next trip is December 2-10 and the time between now and then is just dragging! OY!

Always looking forward to great info and the energy that always seems to come from message boards such as these.

Stay Fuzzy!

[Melora]

Hi all

I love this board and have a great time reading all the introductions.

My name is Melora (hard to tell I know) I'm 41. My 17 year old daughter is gay so I like to read these forums. We are very liberal in our family and have a very hard time with prejudice and the accompanying stupidity.

There are 8 kids that can call me mom. I have 5 bio kids (20-5), one adopted little girl from Russia (7) and 2 step kids (14, 11). I love them all!

We live just north of Los Angeles in Thousand Oaks. I have gone to Disneyland and loved it my whole life but became a true Disney-aholic after our first trip to WDW 5 years ago.

We are going on our next trip Dec 2-9. There will be 8 of us. My DH (Jeff, 44), myself, 5 of our kids and one friend.

Good to see everyone! You seem like a great group!

 

[Saxton]

Melora,

I read your other post and your daughter ... make that all of your kids are lucky to have you and your husband as parents! Welcome to our happy home!

 

[FoxxBoys]

Love, love, love PFLAG members!

Thanks for being so understanding and respectful of your children and those of others.

All I can say is WOW...a new mecca. First off: high everybody . My name is Nick and I am as new as I can be to the boards here. First post. This site is such a wealth of information. I just finished reading Viki's trip report which I thoroughly loved. Haven't gotten a chance to have read the other's yet but very much looking forward to it. As I said, my name is Nick and I am 27 years old and my awesome partner's name is Chris (26). I'm a respiratory therapist who does Sleep studies mostly so I am posting quite late. I'm at work. Chris is a CRNA and we are living in Baton Rouge, LA at the moment but will be relocating to Houston in January. I also have an evil cat who is part Scar part Nala. lol. I'm much more of a Disney freak than Chris...haven't quite truly converted him yet although he is excited about our trip in August. Hopefully it will be an annual thing he just doesn't know it yet. Alas, it is great to see such awesome people here and I have enjoyed reading everything so far.

Hey, Nick! Welcome!

We're coming into WDW on 8/25 and will be staying at AKL - come on over and have a drink at Victoria Falls with us!

We've got a minimeet planned for Thursday, but you guys will be gone by then

 

[FoxxBoys]

Hope you have a great time at WDW! BTW, is your avatar created from an image of the Turtle Talk sign? Love that sign! The colors are so brilliant.

David

 

[summer_magic]

Howdy all

I'm also new here although not entirely sure if i belong

As I posted in another thread (please feel free to check it out) I am a guy in my mid 30's who loves Disney.

I am however a tad unsure of my orientation, which is why I popped in here to get some input and suggestions (plus I just like hanging out with Disney folk as you are all so nice).

I visit DL about 2 or 3 times a year, I went through a phase of making it out to WDW once a year or so for a few years but haven't made it back since 2002.

Hoping to have a lot of fun here regardless

Thanks for replying Viki . Yeah it would be really neat to meet you guys up there for your 20th. Congrats BTW. You guys are truly an inspiration. Yeah I saw that you guys had a minimeet planned, kinda bummed that we can't get together then, however it would be very cool to meet you guys for a drink. You could school me on one of your martini's. I will check our schedule and give you a holler back if you guys are interested. Would be fun to meet up with some folks from here. Could use all the help I could get with Chris's conversion. lol.

FoxxBoys thanks for the welcome....howdy . Yeah I'm thinking the avatar IS from the Turtle Talk sign however I'm not exactly sure. It was off of the generic avatar page. Also, it's been so long since I've been to Disney that I really couldn't tell you. I'm pre Nemo, But "dude Crush" is my favorite character.

Again for all the welcomes. Look forward to some good times.

Nick- For a fan of Crush, you absolutely have to see Turtle Talk in the Living Seas pavilion. It's totally amazing - and even if the big draw is for the under 4' tall set, it's a lot of fun for those of us who are taller and chronologically older.

YES David, I would absolutely love to see that show, however the 2 people I will be traveling with are most likely not gonna buy it. I may end up having to skip it this time and waiting 'til another time. I'm up for anything and everything but due to the limited time and sporadic nature of this trip Turtle Talk will most likely NOT come to pass although I DID hear it was awesome! Grrr...

Alas, we will have a great time! ::evil laugh:: HAhahahahahaha.

Thanks for the input David
