Real Name: Mel
Location: Columbus, OH
Family Situation: Married 5 years in July. We have a 21 month old daughter with a second baby on the way and due in January 2018!
Occupation: Aviation Industry Analyst
Pets: None for the time being.
Favorite Food: I really enjoy pretty much anything that is creative. I'm not a big "country" or "homestyle" foods person.
Favorite Drink: New Belgium Fat Tire

I grew up going to Disneyland whenever we would go to Southern California to visit my grandmother. Went to WDW for the first time in 1999. My favorite memory of that trip was the Tapestry of Nations parade at Epcot. I think we saw it almost every night we were there. My parents are new DVC owners and AP holders and probably average 10 trips a year at this point. We are lucky enough to tag along at least once a year or so. Our next trip is in September with a two night stay at Pop for just the three of us to have some time together and then we will move over to a 2br at AKL for the rest of the week with my parents. Looking forward to checking out Pandora!

Hey Jeff! As I'm the only one who isn't up to his nuts in turkey brine, pop over to the main board DDCXXX and let us know about your trip. We usually hang over there. Looks like from your banner you're off to the Sports?
