New from Illinois

[POB14]

My Pi moved to Fullerton and Clark.

Sure -- into ENEMY TERRITORY (land of the DeFormed Blue Cretins )! TRAITORS!!!

Hmmm, I'm gathering you're not a DePaul fan.

I think it had more to do with the neighborhood change than anything. Rogers Park, including the LU area got a little icky in the mid to late 80's early 90's. That's true though, they could've at least moved less close to Fullerton though.

Hi from Peoria! Lots of DISers in Central Illinois!

I graduated from U of I so I lived in Champaign/Urbana 4 years. Then we lived in Norridge, across the street from Chicago

Now, I'm back in Peoria.

Welcome to the DIS Have a great trip -- and I second the skip AK opinion if you only have 3 days.

[Just Jack's Mom]

Hello from Southern Illinois! Newton to be exact pop-3000!

There is a small but growing community of WDW addicts here. We are thinking of starting our own version of Disney AA!

 

[tlrotzoll]

Welcome! I was born & raised in Illinois & we go back a couple times/year. We are also planning a trip in Nov. You may want to pick up the book "Passporter" - it will give great tips - especially for a quick trip.

Have fun planning - that's just as fun as the trip - well. . . almost.

 

[roxmyworld]

Welcome Patrick!!!
My kids loved AK in July so I would expect November would be even better. Bummer you don't have more time. Have a great trip!

Havana (the one in IL)
Edwardsville
Belleville
O'Fallon
Highland
Pocahontas

Wish these were Disney resorts instead of IL towns I've lived in!
