Hi Tammy here, I live in Yellowstone County, Montana (Yellowstone Park is within a days drive as are the Black Hills and some really neat other places like Chief Plenty Coup State Park and Little Big Horn Battlefield along with places like the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody, WY.)
I tend to lurk more than post mainly because I have only been on 1 trip to world which was in January 2010 and 2 single day visits to land in December 87 and March 95. I am constantly planning trips out on paper (lately my paper size dry erase board to save a few trees) looking at the flights, would I want to drive (mainly an option for land, but I have been playing around with a fun one for world that would involve some major sight seeing stops along the way that I might have to do when my special needs little girl graduates from speech and occupational therapy and call it an extended field trip) what resort or hotel would I want to stay at, how long, that type of stuff.
I have a number of favorite parks.
Land because I have my first Disney Park memories there.
MK because that is where my special needs girl did her first spontaneous communication when she signed please to Minnie to sign her autograph book at 27.5 months.
Epcot because I love spending time learning new things and I will admit both world showcase and future world are a homeschooling parents dream come true.
Animal Kingdom because of the chance to see animals that we don't get to see normally and again it is very educational.
Disney Hollywood Studios is the one I have been to that is going to take more time to grow on me though I am interested to some day see the new developments.
I love all the shows for various reasons
Dreams Unlimited because it is so informative about so many Disney Travel Options and I have enjoyed getting to know the various agents and some of the support staff in the spotlights plus how Tracey seems to know what John is trying to say when he forgets a word and just says it makes me smile. My favorite shows are the question and answer (DisneyKevin there is so much to do in the Black Hills besides see Mount Rushmore which I remember you mentioning on one of the Q and A shows you wanted to see someday)
World Show because it has so much information and the interactions seem to change depending on who is on week to week. I love hearing Pete's rants when he does them. This tends to be the show that I am able to watch live more often than others and I enjoy the chat.
Universal Show to get my dose of Craigisms which often make me chuckle a bit. While I am not likely to go to Universal as I don't care too much for Harry Potter and I am not a thrill ride person between motion sickness and a bad back I love the dining reviews and even have a few on my list to hopefully check out someday.
Dis Pop I love the more casual out and about format with Ryno and Ollie talking while driving to where they are going. Learning about some of the things that my 11 year old daughter is into that does not involve repeating the words repeating the words repeating the words did I tell you about this yes you did multiple time this week I will still repeat the words repeat the words usually while you are working or driving in a pouring rain high wind storm has been so informative for me. I have a few ideas for Christmas and her birthday coming up that I never would have thought of. I have only been able to listen to part of one of the audio segment shows when a storm knocked out my internet but am really excited to listen to the new one on Finding Dory in the near future.
Daily Fix with the short bit of news, the weather and especially the puns. I have gotten back into the boards more to see what people are saying not just on the days feature thread or articles posted to facebook but other things as well.
Disneyland show as not only Disneyland but so many other places in the Southern California area are covered with some of them being places I have at least been to though it has been a few decades. I am able to listen live quite a bit to this show as well.
The Trip even though it is no longer doing new shows I love watching the interaction the team had and all the adventures to new places.
Free Form Friday because you never know what is going to happen including will the pizza delivery be on time.
Pete's Audio Solo Shows because they remind me so much of listening to an old show growing up that was on the radio where a speaker talked about a number of different things that were on the speakers mind.
The Cooking with Pete or Pete's Kitchen segments because I love how Pete improvised not having 2 kitchenaids and some of his commentary and adjustments her makes.
Not admitting this to my 11 year old daughter but maybe just maybe I am a bit of a Disney Freak/Nut who has found her tribe. I totally didn't buy 2 different Minnie Mouse outfits for my special needs girl today because she needs more Minnie outfits and they were on clearance-who am I kidding yes I did.
I alternate between EPCOT, Animal Kingdom and MK based on my mood. (For the sake of fairness, I will say that Tower of Terror is one of my favorite rides, even though HS is my least favorite park as a whole.)
Hiya, everyone.
