New and Improved Introduce Yourself and Post a pic thread!

... but when you beat the live ones they get kinda mad

They don't like it when you let your monkeys ride them either....

( I guess I should warn you about my monkey obsession....you were bound to find out sooner or later. Theres a goat too who may or may not have been eaten....but that's a story for another time. )

 

[Wallylicious]

Monkeys and goats are lovely. As are turtles, and eagles and hawks!

Dead horses are kinda' stinky. Live ones are fun to ride.

It's been a while since I've been on the boards. Anyway, I'm back on because I'm going to Gay Days May 30 thru June 4th. It's good to be back

 

[DouglasE]

Welcome back Dreweyj! You must be getting excited about your plans for Gay Days.

 

[SanFranciscan]

When I lived there, we would hit both parks in one day. There were a few less attractions then there are now, but it was still feasible.

I went back with some friends a couple years back and we did UO & IoA for four days. They took a lot of cigarette breaks. I don't know how else we didn't die of shear boredom.

I still work at Universal Studios because I have had so little time for looking for another job since I have been getting full-time there, and I hear all of the time from "guests" (Since when does a guest pay?) that they have been at Universal all week. I wonder what it is that they have been doing since I can't imagine that doing everything would take more than a couple of days during all but the most crowded time of year.

Also fairly new here, just turned 34, am a doctor (thumbs up to DrGaellon) and have just returned from the Mouse. Heading back there soon. Yet to feel comfortable with myself unfortunately - if anyone has any good suggestions of books to read etc to help then I'd be delighted.

You both have my sympathies. Considering how stingy insurance companies are getting with doctors and how ever greater numbers of workers have no health benefits, I am wondering how doctors make ends meet these days!!!!

Hi everyone, haven't been around much, but am back now.

Hi all -- just found this board after reading some meanie article about Gay Days.

Color me surprised though -- my partner and I "accidentally" booked our family Disney trip for Gay Days! We were just planning it for when the kids got out of school and lo and behold we'll be in the right place at the right time.

So, I'm Aimee -- my partner and I have been together for 14 years and have two kids (4 and 7 yrs old).

Nice to meet everyone and I'm open to any tips/suggestions (this will only be my 2nd Disney trip).

Aimee

Hey Aimee, nice to have you around. Where are you all staying?

Hi I thought it was about time I introduced myself! I'm Greg and I am a general surgeon-in-training in Dayton, OH. I'm a veteran of about 30 trips to WDW and inherited DVC from my parents. Here's a pic of me and my partner Billi (I'm between Russell and Dug):

We are doing our FIRST trip to Gay Days this year! Will be staying at AKL Kidani Villas June 1-6 with some friends from Central Florida (one of whom is a WDW cast member in a live show). We plan to go to all the parks on the planned days as well as Riptide at Typhoon Lagoon. Dinner plans include Boma on June 2, 50's Prime Time Cafe on June 3, and lunch at Liberty Tree before the parade on June 4! Hope to see some of you around, maybe while "drinking around the world" at Epcot on June 5! :

714guy4u, maybe you can tell me, since you live in Anaheim, whether the strawberry farm is indeed gone from across the street from Disneyland. I was at Disneyland in 2006 and stayed at the Carousel Inn and walked up Harbor Blvd. and was surprised to see a large plot of strawberries growing right across the street from Disneyland. While working at the Disney Museum in San Francisco, a guest told me that that strawberry farmer had held out on Disney for years but had recently died so that Disneyland was able to acquire the property. Do you, or does anyone else living in the Anaheim area, know whether what I heard was true?

My fave Disney park is Epcot because I love learning about all the countries and their cultures plus FOOD! FOOD! FOOD!

My fave Disney movie is Sleeping Beauty because it is such a breathtaking work of art and it's music is stunning.

My fave Disney Character, well, I love them all but as it's my fave Disney movie, I do get really excited meeting Princess Aurora

Yes it's true The family sold most of the land for like 96 million dollars now it's a $15 parking lot

Hello New people.

 

[Fabled]

Hello -
I'm new to posting here on the boards but have certainly been reading them for quite a while to gain all kinds of wonderful Disney knowledge! I was excited to see this thread - so here I am!

My name is Jaime and I live with my two children in Massachusetts. My user name is just one that I've been using for some time. My favorite disney park is probably HS and MK...but I'm pretty happy in any/all of them. I don't even know if I could come up with one favorite disney character or movie! Nightmare Before Christmas was one of my favs for a long time as I am a huge Tim Burton fan. Also love Stitch and Tigger!

My kids, best friend and I will all be heading down to Disney this coming December for our second trip! We went this past Christmas and had the most wonderful time.... just had to do it again. This time our travel party will include my parents and siblings as well (nine total) and we will be staying in the Kidani Village two bedroom villa.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone here and happy to have such a great forum to post in.

 

[BriGuy]
