Introduce Yourselves!

[cdn ears]

Hello All.

My name is Joe and my boyfriend of 6 years is Chip. When I fell in love with Chip along came the love for Disney.

We live in Syracuse, NY (the snowiest large city in the US and winner of the golden snowball award year after year) but love to travel, both for fun and culture.

I've been to Disney 6 times and Chip, who knows how many, he used to work there years and years ago as a cast member in the college program and subsequently just for his own enjoyment.

This year he twisted my arm enough and left hints on a daily basis until I caved and booked the Grand Floridian for 6 nights/7 days on top of our week cruise. It will be fun all the same.

Joe, Chip and any other newbies.

As Saxton said you guys are more than welcome to keep the white stuff. It has been coming and going all week up here and is in the forecast again for tomorrow....YEAH!!!

 

[Rocke & Tender]

I am becoming addicted to this forum and would love to know a little about all of you that I see post every day. I searched and didn't find another intro thread so... I started one.
I'm Julie, my partner is Ava. We live in NYC, beautiful Harlem to be exact.
I'm 30, she's 26. We have 2 cats (yeah yeah the lesbians and their cats )
We're going to WDW again April 22nd-28th!

If anyone has any other questions I'd be glad to answer them

So... tell me about yourselves!

Hi, we are new to this forum but already having fun. My name is Nena and my partner's name is Darlene. I am 43, well for a few more months and Darlene is 47. Our birthdays are 6 months apart and both on the 30th. We met online (Rocke and Tenderheart) and have been together now (April 23rd) for 5 years. We are both Disney Nuts!!!! We are totally hooked on pin trading. We love going and just sitting, trading pins and talking/meeting new people. We live in Las Vegas, Nevada. We don't own any animals anymore since someone poisoned our dalmation (Cricket), too heart breaking. WE are currently selling trader pins to help people to be able to afford to keep pin trading.

We have never made it to any of the other parks besides DLR. Our future plans are to go to WDW and to take a Disney Cruise (crossing fingers, before we get too old!). Ok enough rambling. If you ever make it to DLR, stop by on Mondays and look for the 2 biggest women there...you got it....that will be us! We both are BIG kids at heart!! We love having fun and enjoying each other. Hope to meet some of you at DLR. Have a GREAT Day!!

Hi all =)

Not really new to the dis but haven't been around much recently (and this board didn't exist when I was coming here fairly regularly)... nice to have a board of our own

Soooo... wanted to say hi =) My name is Jon, currently single (which seems to be the minority on this board =p), I live in Sterling, VA and obviously I love Disney and I am a HUGE Peter Pan fan.

I go to WDW almost every year and since my best friend lives in San Diego I make him take me to Disneyland when I go out to visit him =p Right now thinking about taking a trip to WDW in mid sept during the free dining offer... but it would be a solo trip for the first time... so haven't made a firm decision yet =p

So again hi! And I will try to stop in often

 

[DVC~OKW~96]

Hi PeterPan! Yes, isn't this a lovely board? Good to have a place of our own.

WDW solo can be a wonderful experience. I'll bet you'd have a great time!

I'm not sure that I've ever posted in this thread.. and being lazy.. I'm not going to read all 18 pages to find out .. I'll just post again. (Responsible moderator in action eh?)

I'm Knox .. that is actually my last name.. but nobody calls me by my first name since it's the most common name ever.. and there's always six other "Johns" around.. so I defaulted to Knox a few years ago and it stuck.

I'm 37 years old and will be celebrating 38 at Disney over Gay Days. Wahoo! I like having my birthday and GayDays ALWAYS fall together. It's handy. I live in the backwoods of Canada. Almost. Ok its a city. But there aren't many gays here. Or at least I can't find 'em. I lived for a while in New York City (95-98) and Los Angeles (98 - 2002) but then I came home to the backwoods. It's nice here.

I work at a radio station as promotions director and event planner. It's a fun job. Hardly feels like work most days.. which is the idea right? My cheesy radio station promotional picture is in my profile. I was going to do the thing where I point my fingers like a gun and wink.. but management said "No." Boo management.

And because I only work 87 hours a week at the radio station, I spend my spare time as a moderator on the Resorts board here on the DIS.

Well.. at least it keeps me out of more serious trouble.

My significant other is... umm.. wait a sec.. Oh yah.. STILL OUT THERE.. Hey if you're reading this - you are seriously LATE young man. Call me ASAP!

[DisneyDudet]

Well.. I have to get to bed soon but here's some about me...

I am pretty much new at all this stuff. I've come out to a few people, but not my family. My girlfriend and I (both 23) met at school(college) and she had a crush on me and I dared her to kiss me.. so.. well.. she wouldn't.. so I did it! And we've been together ever since! It has been a year and 2 months of bliss!

We're both nurses, not at the same hospital tho.

I'm girlie to the max! My favorite color is pink, I hate to sweat. I love long baths and pedicures. High heels are my favorite. My hair is long and I love to wear it straight (even though its super curly). I like getting my hair done and getting new sunglasses. I have 8 piercings.. all in my ears tho!

I love Louis Vuitton and Coach purses and wallets. My wallets and purses have to match! I wear Vera Wang's Princess perfume, which my girl calls Princess Baby.

I'm short. She's tall. She loves blue. I love pink. She's on the comfy side, I'm pretty prissy. Amazingly though, we finish each other's sentences. Will say the most RANDOM things at the same exact time! We're so alike.

We both live with our families. We just graduated college, and we're saving for a house together. We did live for a year together during college, which was amazing. Its hard now that I work the night shift and she's day shift. We don't get to talk much.

She has been to Disney once, but really didn't like it. I've been 12 times and LOVE it. I'm talking her into going someday. She says we can't go there for every trip but we can for some. She wants to to to Paris... you know what that means!

Thanks for having this forum for people like me. It feels great to be able to be myself to people.

 

[ConcKahuna]

Ohhhh Paris...want company? LOL

As CanadianGuy said, "I'm 37 years old and will be celebrating 38 at Disney over Gay Days. Wahoo! I like having my birthday and GayDays ALWAYS fall together. It's handy."
I'm another Gemini, my birthday on June 3rd (I'm 38), means that one of the Gay Days will nearly always fall on my birthday, too. This year will be my first to attend Gay Days. I love Disney. It runs in my family. My grandparents took my relatives to Disneyland until Disney World opened, then we all went there annually for years. I still find it unusual to find folks who turn up their noses at my enthusiasm for Disney. I read trip reports about the Pirates & Princess Parties and nearly got choked up with joy and anticipation of ever going during one. I have an awesome pirate costume to wear there (yes, I'm serious). Currently, I wear it to the pirate ball and Captain Morgan Fantasy Fest Parade here in Key West. Which is the other favorite place / time of my life. So, I'm still a kid at heart - but if you ever come to Key West for Fantasy Fest, be aware that it is joyously a VERY adult week of events (Halloween).

I think we need to have a joint b-day party for you 2 boys!!

 

[CanadianGuy]

I think we need to have a joint b-day party for you 2 boys!!

I completely agree. I'm thinking at the 05/31 PI DIS Meet -- ya? BIG fun.

Conc - please bring two "It's My Birthday!" buttons.

Knox

 

[Aaronbox]

If you DO bring birthday buttons to PI on the 31st, then I won't have to pick one up on June 3rd when we arrive at Disney MGM. That would be very sweet.

 

[ConcKahuna]

I'll grab a handful....

But would you prefer "Happy Birthday" or "Feliz Cumpleaños"? Disney has both now...

 

[CanadianGuy]

Personally.. not to be greedy -- but I'd like one of each. While not spanish bilingual, I am french-biliingual and I love meeting people who speak all languages.

Knox

 

[Aaronbox]

As there are just two birthday boys, I think that's all we need. English is good for me.

Greetings ladies and Gentelmen, Girls and boys (ok that is soooo DCL lingo ROFL)

My name is John, I live in Orlando and SHOCKER am a former cast memeber! I LOVE Disney! Even if cast members aren't as friendly as they should be!

I work in the Hotel Industry and LOVE IT!
I am single and I have a Cockatiel named Goofy (very appropriate)
I am 27 years old, Have been to disney more than 100 times in the past couple of years. I have also been on 2 disney cruises! EPCOT is my favorite Park! got questions hit me up!


And for those of you who are looking for Disney Ticket Discounts Avoid the desks at hotels and gas stations and so on in Orlando that offer "Discounted" tickets in orlando to Disney. You have to take a Time share tour that lasts hours! lol My parents got suckered into it even though I warned them.

 

[ConcKahuna]

Welcome John!! Quite a few locals in here I love cockatiels, yet out of 7 birds I don't have any....
