OK ... I am 43 and have 3 boys (the boy club). I am a remedial reading teacher for the past 22 years (10 years as a first grade teacher ... then 12 years as a remedial reading teacher). I LOVE DISNEY and my husband hates it. We have been married for 20 years on August 11. ( Been together since I was 18 ... gosh that is young!) I have gone to Disney without him since he doesn't want to go. I live in a suburb of Pittsburgh, PA. Have live on a budget for a long time and hoping to "Live like no one else" some day.

DH: 48, Auto Mechanic
DS: 20, Student - Webster University.
DD: 15, Student - graduating 8th grade (adopted from Romania)
3 dogs

We just celebrated our 22nd anniversary. I have been working at St Louis University for 20 years. I always said I wanted to finish college so this year I decided the kids were old enough and I returned to school. I am so glad I did it has been challanging but rewarding. (And it's free since I work here so why not).
Our first family vacation to disney was when my DS was 4. I took DH kicking and screaming but he fell in love with it almost as much as me. He wanted to buy DVC on that first trip but I did not want the debt. Three years ago after over 20 trips under my belt I finally purchased a 50pt resale at SSR. We are now owners at SSR, AKL, and BLT.

I love Disney as does DD5. DH will not go anymore he hates crowds. DD19 just goes to see family, she does not really care about Disney .I have been trying to get her to the college program but she is not interested .

 

[MsStinkerBelle]

Me: 39, Senior Systems Engineer (yeah, one of those IT people )
DD10: Absolute Princess, has been doing Disney since 3months old
Cat #1: Logan (yes, as in Wolverine) Russian Blue rescued as a kitten
Cat #2: Kayla Black Am. Shorthair/RB mix, is Logan's sister

Both DD and I love Disney! I'm more of a pixie while she's definitely a princess. As she is also PDD-NOS, Disney has been invaluable in helping her with social skills/interaction. She's also an aspiring singer/performer and more often than not CMs pull her out to 'perform'.

We used to do Disney 2x a year but cut back to 1x about a year or so ago to shore up savings and buy a condo in the future.

DD10 is 'convinced' she'll find me a husband at Disney World. Her greatest dream is for me to get married there.

DS20 - just finished his third year of college in Wildlife Biology/Science
DD16 - planning on going to college for Genetics / or Music

Two very spoiled dogs : A bichon and a rottweiler. We hire someone to stay at the house while we are on vacation so that the dogs don't have to go to a kennel. They'd be terribly lonely......I know, we're crazy people.

DH and I have both been to WDW over 10 times, the kids are on their 4th or 5th trip.

We tend to go the WDW with my DSis and DBIL and their DS's 21 and 20.
