Hi All, been lurking on the DIS for years but only just now saw the sticky. I'm Sarah, and my username refers my love of Shirley Temples with extra grenadine in them. I'm 34, I'm pretty sure I'm not growing out of that love.

I live outside of Raleigh NC (from MA originally, GO PATS!!!). Been down here for six years, and love it. Also love that it puts me within decent driving distance of WDW.

I am single, and have a hard time finding a girl who loves Disney as much as I do. She must be out there....

Hands down my favorite park is Magic Kingdom, followed second by Animal Kingdom. Something about walking down Main Street still almost brings the happy tears out. I visited lots of times as a kid, and that feeling of escaping the real world is even more important to me now. I'm not a morning person, but I always make sure I'm up and at the rope drop during my trips

My favorite Disney Character is most definitely any of the "old school" ones. I still remember the Goofy watch I got as a kid as soon as I learned to tell time. I loved staying at the Treehouses as a kid, followed closely by the Polynesian. And I loved the character breakfasts that were held in the Empress Lily back in the early 80's. And I really miss the double-decker buses that used to take people around the countries in EPCOT.

Was trying to include some pics, but the FB links I was using doesn't seem to work. But you can connect with me on FB here: http://www.facebook.com/sarahc

Now that I have enough posts to put up pics...how do I do that?

Ok giving this pic posting another try. Kinda beginning to feel like an idiot that I can't figure it out.

Once again it didn't work. Question - Is it because I'm trying to pull the pics from facebook?

Try right clicking on the photo and selecting "View Image" and then copy and paste that link. Not the page with all the facebook stuff on it.

Yes. Facebook doesn't allow hot linking. Use Fotki, Photobucket or Picasa.

 

[DisneyFreak1976]

Ok thanks for the help guys. Here's another try lol

 

[DisneyFreak1976]

Yay!!! it worked. lol

Hi guys,

I posted a few times three years ago before my last trip to Florida, and have checked in regularly, but haven't really had much of value to add

My name's Damian - ergo the username! I'm 28, originally from the North-East of England and have lived in London and now near Reading.

I live with my other-half of six and a bit years (Greg - and our two kitties, Megan and Gracie) and we're looking at going back to Disney next May (just after our seventh anniversary). We made our first trip together there in 2007, and I went for the first time with my family back in '97

My favorite Disney movies are Enchanted (watching this as I type!), Hocus Pocus, Beauty and the Beast, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, The Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty... most of them - and anything with Angela Lansbury is a bonus!

I think the Magic Kingdom would have to be my favourite park (although I love them all)... I dare anyone to say they don't feel like a small child again when watching the Wishes firework display!

Sorry for the rambling - and hope to speak to you all soon

 

[Damian]

And here's a pic of me:

Hey Damian
London is so intriguing to me I went in 2008 and I was in love. I want to live there. I plan to visit feb 2013. While I'm there I also plan to visit Disneyland Paris. Growing up on the west coast in Los Angeles everything is so transparent. Over seas the euro way is more daring and cultured.

I felt the same way when I first visited London in about 1999... and I love living close enough that I can just nip in and see a show when I want to And one thing I'd say about Disneyland Paris - it's *expensive*! Greg and I were in Paris a few years ago and thought we'd swing by the Downtown Disney equivalent and were horrified by the prices!

Hello, all!

My name is John (or JC, depending on how well you know me), and I'm a big Disney fan in NYC. I just got back from an amazing vacation in Anaheim, and I'm spending a day at Disneyland Paris on 10/3. I couldn't be more excited!

Jacchus, for those who don't know, is Bacchus's donkey/unicorn friend in Fantasia. Bacchus is the god of wine and theater, two of my fave things in life. And the donkey is the Dem mascot. And, well, his name is a borderline-profane pun. Gotta love that!

Fave Disney film: Mary Poppins
Fave Disney park: DCA (I could spend all day in the Carthay Circle resto)
Fave Disney attraction: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (it was the very first real roller coaster I ever rode)
Fave Disney prince: Aladdin

Fingers Xed that the pics work!:

(in my office)

(last week with the big cheese)

p.s. The button in the Mickey pic is a makeshift UNbirthday button, made by an awesome woman named Alice (get it?) who works in the Emporium.

Well this is a little embarrassing! I didn't realise this thread was here. Best get started then..

I'm Mark, from Great Britain. I've been fortunate to have been to Walt Disney World and Disneyland Paris, alas the latter is no where near close enough.
I love all things Disney. From the design to experience of the parks, to the films and all the history of the company.

Username is pretty straight forward, I guess, just one of the films I love.

Now for the favourites bit.. yeah.. I can't pick just one.

Favourite park: EPCOT, but I love all of them! yes even parts of WDS.

Favourite attraction: Horizons *sniff* and then Pirates of the Caribbean.

Favourite Disney animated films:
Modern Era - Princess and the Frog / Tarzan.
Second Renaissance - Beauty and the Beast / Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Classic - Sleeping Beauty.

Favourite Disney feature films:
Classic - Mary Poppins
Second Renaissance - Newsies / Rocketeer / Dick Tracey
Modern - Pirates of the Carribean Curse of the Black Pearl / National Treasure

Favourite Prince: Naveen / Eugene Fitzherbert. / Prince Philip that's the one from Sleeping Beauty, not the Duke of Edinburgh.
Favourite Princess: Tiana / Aurora.

Favourite Stage Musical - Beauty and the Beast with Mary Poppins a close second. I love the Newsies soundtrack and I really hope it comes to the West End.

I'm too shy to post a picture... so just imagine Cliff Seacord from The Rocketeer and then I'll disappoint as I look nothing like him!

Thanks!
And, no, I was there after the marathon. Though it was so hot on Friday (108!) and Saturday (105!), it probably looked as if I'd just run a marathon at times!

 

[gmi3804]

I can't remember if I ever introduced myself here, though I've been a DISer for a while now.

I'm George, 46 years old, and an almost-lifelong WDW/DLR fan; my first trip to The World was at age 8 in 1974, many trips to both destinations since.

I live with my partner of 20 years (21 years next week - yeah!) in the north burbs of Chicago, and I'm a licensed real estate broker. We finally bought into DVC (BLT) earlier this year.

I enjoy planning and taking Disney trips, and love to fill my time by reading about others' trips and experiences.
