Singles who are for the "Love of Disney" - Part 4

[wdwtheplacetobe]

I was 34 when I met my now husband (had dated the same guy off and on for 10 years before that) and most but not all of my friends were either paired off or married. I too thought there was something wrong with me, but realized I just didn't want to settle. Several of my friends who married in their 20's are now getting divorced.

Waiting for the right one, is so worth it. Bob and I have been together for almost 3 years (3 years in Feb) and married 2 years (in Jan.) and we have yet to have a fight, a few disagreements here and there but he was so worth waiting for.

I met him like much like Mel (wdwtheplacetobe) met her husband on an earlier incarnation of this thread. Also like her, I relocated (1600 miles from my hometown of Boston MA). The moral of this story is just be open to meeting new people, and don't discount those who live far away, one of both of you might be willing to relocate for the right person.

Around the same time...there were many other moves. Chris moved 1400 miles across Canada, Jules moved 835 miles from NJ to Indiana. I moved 1100
miles from Texas to Illinois. BIG culture shock, but Al is definitely worth it! We met for the first time in person at the Magical Express desk. We dated at Disney, got engaged at Disney and therefore, HAD to get married at Disney. By the time we saw each other for the first time, it was too late to turn back. We had talked from DAY ONE about everything we wanted in a mate. You read on the Boards about so many that have to convince their spouses to GO to Disney. We never do. AND IT ALL STARTED HERE!!!!

Make new friends....even if it doesn't turn out to be your match (I was NOT looking)...you have a new friend!

Excatly!
I met my BF right here too!
Was only looking for park buddies and have received so much more.
Some of the greatest people I have met through DIS, who share my Disney obsession, as well as the man of my dreams.
But it all started with a Mouse!

I give my bff a year or so before she divorces the moron she married. He moved in with us (we were roomates) and He was a real wing ding.

Hey, how did your move go? Unpacked yet?

 

[nurse.darcy]

OMG, WDWtheplacetobe and katydidbug1 found their soulmates here and then married them. PirateMel and her man found each other here. Though none of these people were looking, its so wonderful that they did find. Katy and Mel I know (and I know their SOs), talk about complementing each other. I hope that everyone here finds that special someone that truly completes them.

I'm only trying to catch up on this thread (BTW, congrats to those who found a match on these threads ), but someone mind giving me a history of this "love of Disney" title. Yeah, newb question, but I can't help but feel a little lost.

Teresa, correct me if I am wrong, but you started the original thread. Previous incarnations of this thread, under a different name, got a little dramatic and lets just say, a little undisney.

Teresa, started us on version one of this thread, as a place for all of us to go where there would be no drama and for the most part, we have kept the drama off this thread.

Sound about right?

So your telling me their's a chance. Maybe I will find true love at Disney in the mean time I'm happy with trying Dole Whip and going on the Haunted Mansion a bunch of times.

Yup!

You just never know.

Yes there is.....I met Bob for the first time after months of talking online and one the phone at Disney (just as PirateMel about the flight down to Orlando...I don't think I stopped talking). I met his daughter (now my Step-Daughter) at Disney a few weeks later. Bob and I got engaged at Disney and then Honeymooned there. Needless to say Disney plays a huge part in our relationship.

Just enjoy your time, and be open to meeting new people. I wasn't looking when I met Bob, and he was just coming off getting divorced and was most definitely not looking (he joined the Dis when he was planning a vacation for himself, his daughter and niece) we hit it off. We started talking in Feb of 2008 and got married in Jan of 2009. Quick courtship, but we knew it was right.

You just never know when it is going to happen.

I had to do some searching...here's the link to one of the varies "love of Disney" threads. As Katy said...it was a thread I started just for folks to share their love for Disney. I hope this helps.

DRAMA FREE Please

If you are single and love Disney, then this is the Thread for You. Here is a place to share your life, thoughts and love with other singles. It's the place where you can share the thrills and chills with those who are in like mind about Disney. It's place where eventually with Disney Magic you might meet your prince or princess and fall in LOVE .

Please note, this is not a thread to harass, be mean or rude in any way to another human being. If that's what you want, then please do not subscribed to this thread.

The following is a test that was originated by the author of the very first Singles Thread, I thought it would be appropriate to start this thread with the same test.
Quote:
If only there was a test.....

How would you rate a potential mate on a 1-10 Disney scale?

1) Hates Disney
2) Doesn't hate it but it's like pulling teeth to get them there.
3) tolerates it begrudgingly and nit picks everything
4) is okay with it but when given an option prefers other places
5) Is okay with it but only once every few years
6) Will go but wants to do Universal, Sea World, Bushe Gardens etc.
7) Goes willingly and will do almost anything
8) Totaly gets into Disney on almost every level. A day without Disney is like a day without magic.
9) Is into Disney on EVERY level...sells children to get in another trip.
10) If you won the lottery you would LIVE in Disney World!
11) Wants to build a private DISer resort on-site!

So, it's a common love affair with Disney in general and not bringing any kind of "drama-war" to the table. That's sounds awesome. I was wondering what that was all about, but as I was reading the thread, my mind became a bit confused as I was seeing all of this randomness going on.

Thanks for the explanation. I've been trying to find time to socialize here around here and I'm still getting used to the ropes and all.

David, this thread is really just like the Singles Social Club except that, on an earlier version of this thread (before it was restarted by Teresa) some drama did happen. This thread is open to everyone and all are welcome. Its been fun to watch people get coupled off and then come back and share their stories.
