Our Own Disney Families.

[dougsmom98]

My Disney Family includes:

Me turning 34 years old - Chemistry teacher and vacation planning fanatic.

DH 35 years old - Business education/ computer teacher and one heck of a dad!

DS just turned 7 years old - a very tall and very shy first grader - loves Star Wars and Harry Potter.

DS 5 year old twin - a very social preschooler who dares to be different than his other two brothers. He is a classic middle child.

DS 5 year old twin- a very confident preschool student who loves everything his 7 year old brother does.

DD almost 7 months old - a very good and easy baby compared to the twins, but also very daring at a very young age. She will give us a run for our money!

I must admit I've been stuck on the budget board for a while because I get so depressed when I read about everyone planning their trips on the Family Board!

We made our first trip ever last summer and had the absolute time of our lives! We were all choked up (even DH!) when we walked out from MK for the last time! I can't wait to plan another trip (probably next year )

Me 33 years old - SAHM and I feel very blessed to do so! I fell in love with Disney and these boards and my life has never been the same!

DH 35 years old - Besides full-time working man he also coaches fast-pitch softball, basketball, makes up the wrong lyrics to our kids favorite songs and drives them nuts!

DD almost 11 years old - Sensitive sweet girl who is growing up before our eyes! Loves Disney and was absolutely not too old to be "wooed" by the castle & princesses! Plays fastpitch softball, basketball, piano, and loves Napoleon Dynamite!

DD almost 9 years old - Funny sweet girl is always crackin' a joke (usually one involving a bodily function! ) Loves Disney and fell in love with Snow White when she was told how much she looks like her! Does gymnastics and plays piano. Wants a puppy but we are insisiting we housebreak her brother first!

DS 3 years old - ALL BOY and we love every minute of it! Loves Dinnie world and the princesses left him spellbound with all their love and kisses! He is Batman/Spiderman/Woody/ and a pirate who loves to punch mom in the butt OR give her a quick hug & kiss (whichever he feels like that day! )

Here's my family...

Me (40) SAHM and the one who loves Disney the most. Planning is 1/2 the fun for me. If I'm not carpooling the kids around I'm thinking, reading or DISing all things Disney.

DH (45) Not to crazy about Disney. Can only get him to go once every three or four years. He claims it's because of the stroller, diapper bad etc.. This will be our first time going without the extra baby stuff... because our baby is now six. So we'll see if we can get him to go more often.

DD14 Very good student, loves Disney but wants friends to come along now.

DD9 My little Gymnist and is very close to her mom (me)

DS6 Loves LSU, likes to dress like his daddy, can't wait to go to ride rides now that he is tall enough.

You have such a beautiful family. He we go when we can, think of it this way some never get to experience the magic, and if they keep raising their prices, my grandkids might not either.

 

[nucpharm29]

We have a Disney Family of 4

Me(30) --SAHM fulltime and part-time nuclear pharmacist
DH (also 30) --electrical engineer for major personal care product manufacturer
DD (2) --is the performer in the family, loves Tinkerbell and Cinderella. Also a huge fan of those Little Einsteins
DS (2 months) - the newest and by far the happiest of our family.

 

[disneyfreak74]

Our "base" Disney family consists of 4!!

There is:

DH (31) Nursing student!!! On Dean's List!!! Loves Disney!!! Loves to eat a Germany (hates to buy everyone something ELSE to get 30 minutes later because we don't like it)!!

Me (31)at least for a few more days!!! Certified Disney FREAK!!!

DS (6) Loves Sports!!! Always wants to stay at ASSports!!! little chicken until I MADE him ride Splash Mountain!! (we had to ride it 6 more times that night!!!!) Dream vehicle is a monorail!!! Loves the speed of Test Track!!

DD (2 1/2) My parter in crime!!! Gets really pumped up for watching OLD planning videos!!! Freaks out over the castle at MK. Loves Figment (wierd barney).

Both of my children seem to relate everything to DISNEY!!!!

Then when she doesn't think she's "too cool" to hang around her OLD sister; LilSis (14) joins the fun. Primps like crazy before going to the parks!! BUT acts like DD 2 when she gets there!!! (the real reason I love to take her is that it takes her away from her "friends" that think it is totally uncool to swoon over Prince Charming at 1900 Park Fare!!)

This is my Disney Family!!!

I really love reading about everyone else's family as well!!!

Me (29) AKA Mom, resident Disney Nut I started going to Disney World when I was 2 years old & cant get enough. I am a stay at home mom.

DH (30) AKA Dad. Is now a Disney Nut However before he met me, he had NO interest in anything Disney. But now he loves it! We even got married there.

DS (2.5) We started sharing the Disney magic with him early. His first trip was at 9 months old. His second was at 21 months. His third will be at 31 months old & his forth will be 40 months old. He loves everything Disney, even more then I do. At least once a week he asks to "watch Disney World". Then we pop in one of our family videos or the planning DVD from Disney. He loves it.

We do plan on having at least one more child. But that is a discussion for this fall.

DS (7 1/2) Diagnosed last year with PDD and ADHD (everything is pointing towards Aspergers) Likes Disney World and actually relaxes there and loves that we make a schedule . Does not like loud noises (unless it is certain music and tolerates fireworls really well) Smarter than me and knows it

[3princesses4us]

Okay here goes. I wish I could post pictures to prove how cute they are...

Me (33)- the Disney freak of the family. SAHM to my 3 babies. Oklahoma State grad (I'll even voluntarily wear orange!)

DH (35)- reluctant traveling companion of Disney freak. Has fun when we get to WDW, but doesn't understand the planning process. PK (preacher's kid) & OSU grad who loves having daughters that worship him

DD (7)- outgoing, looks just like me (poor thing). While I would describe her as cunning, my mother would call her "clever" (my brunette)

DD (almost 5)- sweet, shy baby girl who looks just like her daddy. She's a big giant walking heart. (my blonde child)

DD (1)- THE princess (just like her mama, the 3rd daughter), spoiled rotten by everyone. Giant dimples & strawberry/ red hair- see a pattern?

Lucy (6 month old Boston Terrier)- yes, another girl! DH is so lucky... I love this dog like she is my 4th child...

That's us in a nutshell. We love Jesus, Oklahoma State and Disney World. Any questions?

 

[mantysk8coach]

Great thread! Hello from Wisconsin!

Me: I'm 28 and the true Disney freak of the family. My parents took me for the first time at age 6, and I was hooked. I work in Public Relations for a health network, and coach figure skating. I also still try to compete every once in awhile if I have time. I skated at the U.S. Adult National Figure Skating Championships in 2003. Besides my family and Disney, skating is my true passion.

My DH: He's 26, and loves the two and a half months between my birthday and his, when he can brag that he's TWO years younger than me! He works at the same hospital that I do, and he's an EKG/Lab Tech. He recently started teaching a class for new dads, which I am very proud of him for for taking on! He's been a great daddy so far.

And finally DD: Our daughter is 19 months, as you can see by my ticker. She is a Disney-freak in training. One of her first words was Mickey. She says "Mick-Mee" and "Min-Mee" for Mickey and Minnie. And "Duck" for Donald. And she looooooves Nemo & Dory. She'll point wildly at the TV and hum the tune to "Just Keep Swimming" and get all excited when that part is on.

We are taking our first family trip to Disney in June, and also bringing our best friend along. He's never been there before, so it will be exciting to get to share our Disney enthusiasm with someone else.

Okay, that's probably more then you ever wanted to know about us!

 

[wvjovifan]

There's Me--the real WDW fan....I seem to be obsessed lately. My girls actually gave me a framed share of Disney Stock last year for my 50th birthday -- I love it!! I always seem to be planning our next trip (and the one after that!)

There's my DH, who I am slowly converting to a WDW fan....he has stopped complaining about going and it was actually his idea to go in May for my birthday! woo hoo!

There's DD # 1 who is 22 and a graduate of WVU (Let's Gooooo Mountaineers) with a degree in Sport Psychology and is working at the PSD.

And DD # 2 who is 20 and is a hair stylist...nothing like free hair cuts for the one who paid the tuition (ME!!) They both love Disney and next year when I lose my job, I am taking them on a Girls Only Princess Trip (using my severance money haha). That's our little WV Dis-Family...plus 3 cats - Angel, Miss Kitty, and Salem.

 

[Pixiedust34]

Dh--He's a teacher. His 1st trip to the World was last summer. He loved it! It was supposed to be a "once in a lifetime" trip, but now he wants to go again in '07. Woo Hoooooooooooo! He is an avid runner and a big time Steelers Fan! Go Steelers! Oh........he also suggested that maybe the kids and I could go to WDW alone in 08 or 09 during the fall if we can get a good package deal. He knows how much we LOVE Disney.

Me--I'm a Homeschooling mom. A Disney Freak! I live, breathe, sleep, and eat Disney. I'm counting down the days until we can go again in 2007. Meanwhile, I can be found reading (I'm a bookaholic), watching Disney movies, playing board games, and hanging out with family & friends.

Ds: He's a great little guy! He loves All Things Disney, and is a great riding partner on PW in AK. He laughs the whole way through the ride. He is into Tae Kwon Do, Legos, reading (big Calvin and Hobbes fan), and Disney movies.

Dd: Our princess! She is a sweetheart, and enjoys All Princesses and All Classic Characters. Tink rules in her book! Dd enjoys tap, jazz, and ballet dancing, board games, and watching Disney movie after Disney movie. She believes in the magic 110%. I think she always will.

*****Molly: Our Aussie Shepherd Mix! A ball of energy! She sports a WDW collar and is cherished as much as Mickey loves Pluto.
