I wanted to take a little time to say a long overdue thanks to the ol DisBoards. Back in 2009 I was stationed in Iraq for a long 12 months. Before being deployed my family and I decided when I returned home we would journey to Disney World. In Iraq I was able to get to a computer/internet on occasion, which I took the time to look up information on Disney. This is when I came across this forum. Let me tell you it was a blessing. For an hour or so I would get lost in all the recommendations, reviews, and most important families writing about their positive Disney Experience. I became lost in stories and pictures, almost forgetting where I was. I could also write home or talk on the phone of future ideas regarding Disney world(my wife is a DW junkie). My wife wondered how I knew so much or had so many intelligent ideas regarding DW. With all the stress we liked to stay future oriented. And may I say when we finally made it to Magic Kingdom and walked out onto Main Street, seeing the castle and having all my senses Disnafied a small tear came to my eye. I see why some people call it home.
We are going again in 20 days.. And I get a lot of "you going again? don't you want to experience something new?" I just smile and shrug my shoulders

The best part of this forum is it keeps me excited about Disney year round. And thanks for all the welcoming comments.
 
Thanks back at ya! The positive, fun loving, and kind people found on the Dis boards helps create a sanctuary from all the negative news reported daily.
