Okay, who the heck are YOU anyways?

[Peggy Sue]

Ok, I'll go next!

I'm Peggy Sue (I bet you didn't know that! lol!) DH (David) and I live in Beverly, MA. A "North Shore" community outside of Boston. We don't have any kids, or pets...just keeping up with each other can be a chore sometimes...lol!! We will be celebrating our 18th wedding annivesary in September.

I'm not a native of MA. (DH is) My dad was with the US Border Patrol and US Immagration, so we moved around a few times. I was born in Kansas, moved to Oklahoma, California, New Jersey and Vermont. I moved to MA on my own at 24 (1976) for a job opportunity in Boston.

I've worked for the same Insurance Company for 18 years. I'm a manager in the Information Systems Depatment. It can be a very hectic, stressful job, however, I enjoy the daily challenges very much! (I know, I'm nuts!)

DH works as a manager at a micro-robotics company. Their "pick and place" systems are used primarily in the medical field. He loves his job too!

We love to travel and I really enjoy planning our vacations. Before we begin any vacation adventure, I've reserached what's available and mapped out our days. DH loves this because we see and do so much, and he can just sit back and come along for the ride! One of the book shelves in our home office is loaded with travel books. Of course, WDW guide books take up a fair amount of room too!

Our honeymoon (way back in 1985!) was at WDW. We had such a fantastic time. (Poly) We returned again in 1990 with my entire family (CBR) and again had a wonderful time. We didn't return again until 1997 (DxL) and had so much fun we checked out the Disney Vacation Club. We joined (OKW & BWV) and suddenly found ourselves bitten big time by the WDW bug! Since '97 we've returned to WDW multiple times every year..this year we have 3 trips planned! No longer park commandos, we love kicking back and enjoying the resorts and all things disney. We have promised ourselves we will again branch out to other vacation destinations next year. We'll see.....

Looking forward to meeting you all at the DIS CON. I've been visiting this site for seveal years..and have always enjoyed the boards..the warmth of a friendly community and friends make this place so special!

My turn.....

My name is Susan and I live in Mishawaka, In. For those of you who have never heard of it, and who has, it is right next door to Notre Dame University.I have been married 20 years to the same guy, Floyd. We have a 15 year old son who is not coming to the convention. We also have 1 dog and 4 cats.

I am a nurse and my specialty is Rehab nursing. I work with brain injuries as well as ortho, strokes, spinal cord, just to name a few. Been doing this for 7 years. I work a weekend package (12 hr shifts though they become 16 hr frequently due to the nurse shortage). I then have 5 days off to play on the computer and occasionally clean and cook. My DH has worked for the same company for 26 years in the lumber business. Do not ask him about his work when you meet him or you will become "bored". LOL Bored, board, I am too funny. But trust me, do not do it unless you really understand lumber, It is like he is speaking another language with lots of numbers mixed in it.

We have been going to Disney for years, first time in 1984. We are DVC members at BWV and want to buy more points next year if possible.We just got back 8/11 from a stay at the AKL. It was wonderful. Split our stay betwen there and Hard Rock Hotel( Did not enjoy that one at all). We have been down a dozen times or more and always drive. I hate flying but might agree to it for this trip. Can not wait to meet everyone. See you there!

Okay,
Hi ! My name is Corinne and I live in the far western 'burbs of Chicago.
This is a second marriage for both my DH and myself. Neither of us had children from
our first marriages, so that made things a lot easier for us.
I have been a SAHM since I was pregnant with my DS (now 12 y/o). He is terrific!
He has been to WDW around 25 times already!
In my "previous life" (before DS!) I was a nurse (specialized in Ophthalmology) and went on
to become an Ophthalmic Technologist.
I am a former PTA President and continue to serve on our District Council as Legislation Chair.
I worked my way through college (a long time ago!) by singing and still enjoy it.
I LOVE old movies and reading.
Collecting Disney watches is one of my hobbies, planning my "next" trip to WDW is another!
I first went to WDW in Nov. 1971 and have been there about 40 times now.

Looking forward to DIS Con and meeting all of you!

Corinne

My name is Norma. I live in New Kensington, PA about 20 miles outside of Pittsburgh.

I have 4 children (3 DS - ages 32, 31 & 24, 1 DD - age 27) from my first marriage. My DD has 3 children (2 DS (10 & 2) & 1 DD (4) who is the lite of my life). I have had a variety of jobs from floral designer to manufacturing implantable defibrillators to now a legal secretary/assistant for an estate planning/estate administration attorney and a few others in between!! I met my present (and final) DH when we worked at the same company about 12 years ago and we have been together for the last 9, but we just tied the knot in September last year. We are both Disney fanatics and bought DVC while on our honeymoon, a special gift to ourselves.

My DH is a CAD designer. He designs printed circuit board (PCB) layouts and works for a company that manufactures testing equipment, etc. for phone and cable companies.

My first trip to WDW which I won through a local radio station during WDW 15th anniversary promo was with my DM, a friend and her DM. It was a 4 day cruise and 3 days at WDW which was great. All subsequent trips have been with my DH, our friends and family. I can't wait to take my grandkids with us sometime.

I enjoy reading, DISing (although mostly lurking), collecting Pooh and Disney stuff and planning our next trip to WDW. DH is into computers, collecting O guage trains and has a permanent layot in our basement. Our dream is to move to Florida and work for the mouse someday!

We are both looking forward to meeting all you at the DIS Con. My 31 yr old DS will be with us also. We hit it lucky because we already had our ressies before the DIS Con was announced. I can't wait to see the Xmas decorations and meet everyone! We arrive on the Nov. 23rd.

[Robin]

OK...I have advoided this thread too long.

My name is Robin (shocking I know) I am 22. I have a DD who is 3...although when asked she holds up boths hands and says TEN

You know us Texan girls...we do EVERYTHING early. I work full time less than 5 minutes from home and right across from my DD preschool (please read this as a BACK OFF to SAHMs that think they are better than working class) I have a great job with a major company as a marketing specialist (I LOVE coming to work) My true passion and best job ever is being a Mommy. I have been to Disney World a couple of times as a child but this is my first trip as an adult. We are also going again for Caitlyn's birthday/ Easter March 30- April 6th

My SO Dan is 46 (no that is not a typo...actually he'll be 47 on the trip) and is a network design engineer. We met about 18 months ago and are very happy with one another. He has no children so he is really enjoying Caitlyn. This will be his first ever trip to WDW...and he is just tickeled pink. Actually he just had lasik surgery on his eyes today so his contacts wont dry out on the fast rides.

We live in Plano (about 20 miles north of Dallas)

Hello,

My name is Lori. I am married to a wonderful man named Walt, we have one child (or should I say teenager) named Dean (Buzz_Lightyear on the boards). We also have 4 cats ranging in age from 2 1/2 to 19 1/2 years old. My husband and I are high school sweethearts and will be celebrating our 15th anniversary this November. We have been going to WDW every year since Dean was born (1st trip he was 4 months old), my sister in law use to live down there and said if your coming down you better hurry up, we are moving back. So off we went the end of June and no air-conditioning in our car. That was it 1 day in the Magic Kingdom and we were hooked.
I work for a NHRA (National Hot Rod Assoc.) race track, I've worked there for almost 14 years. My DH is a HVAC technician specializing in commercial cooking and refridgeration. He is also going to school for computer networking. Our son just entered High School and seems to like it. My hobbies are, cat shows (been to 36 states doing this), gardening, reading, shopping. I found out about this web site when we were in WDW December of 99 and my son and I got into the pin craze. Don't know what more to say other than really looking forward to meeting a lot of other Disney Fans on this trip.

See Ya All Real Soon!
Lori
