Met a Non-DISsing WDW fan

Don't you just love when you meet Disney fans in the darndest place?

I work as a contractor on a local military base and overall people are pretty cut and dry and serious around here. So there aren't many people that I chat with about fun things. Yesterday, I was checking on one of my projects (seeing how our subcontractor had done) in the main building on base. I was in this lady's office and noticed that she had a WDW button on her wall. So naturally, I said "Oh, you're a Disney fan. So am I." That opened the proverbial Disney can 'o worms and I stood in her office and we gabbed about WDW for at least 15-20 minutes. We talked about the upcoming DHS marathon that she and her family are going to go do, past marathons she has done (she talked and I listened since I can't get my lazy tush motivated to do one), resorts, etc. We were both smiling like the Cheshire Cat talking about WDW and it was a nice mental mid-day break.

I, of course, had to ask her if she DIS'd. She looked at me weird so I knew I had a non-DISser on my hands. I told her about the boards, the podcast and the vast amount of info that one can get from the boards. She wrote it down and I imagine she'll be a DIS convert by the end of the week. I love meeting people that are also passionate about WDW and love it even more when it is in an unexpected place (like work).

Yes...I ran into someone the other day at a Sams Club. She is a big Disney Fan, but never knew about the DIS. She mentioned that she and her DH were going to plan a trip after he got back from deployment. I mentioned the DIS, and DU. She wrote it all down and said that she would email her DH, since he was the "computer guru". She was very excited about the information. I love talking Disney.
