Wow, just found this thread through a link on another board. Don't know how I have been hanging around here this long and not found it!

I probably fit nearly all the signs and symptoms in the original post, well, except for number 7 , and am the biggsest 40 year old kid I know, LOL.

Brief Disney history. First visit to WDW was back in 83 when I was in high school. That cinched it for me as THE place I wanted to vacation and visit for a very long time. We visited again in just a few short years, but then took a VERY long hiatus due to uncontrollable circumstances. (Read, lack of money, hehe).

Cut ahead a few years. My wife and I were married back in 89. We visited WDW for the first time together in the early 90's, and again, due to financial reasons, had not visited for nearly 15 years. Well, long story short, we went back again for the first time with out 4 year old daughter last April, then again in August, and were going again THIS April.

Yep, we are truly hooked, and now, thank God, more capable of feeding my\our addiction more regularly.

Anyway, enough rambling. Glad I found this thread, and good to know there are quite a few Dad's out there as well! For a while, I thought I was one of a very small handful of guys that loved this stuff so much!

I'm just a little curious here. Seeing the ages of the all the dads posting I think I have most of you beat, I'm 54yrs old---going on 10---.I took my first trip in 1974 , when we couldn't afford to stay at the Poly for 80.00/nt.. I know it's not a good thing asking the ladies what their age is but guys don't have a problem with the question . I'd like to know what the ages of all the dads are.

I am 40 years old. I remember taking my first trip around 1974 or 1975 and I can honestly say that the way I acted at Disney then and now are pretty much the same, just a kid having the time of my life!!

For the one with my son, wife and myself, I went to http://userbarmaker.com/userbar-links.php5 and made 3 different ones. Then I saved them and went to http://ubanimator.com/ to animate them. The directions are on the page. The animator at userbarmaker doesn't seem to work for me, but it's great for creating your own. I had to make the ones of me and my family, but you can find quite a few disney related ones already made in the library, and just animate those. Hope that helps.

That "SIG PIC" is from 1994 and I was 325 lbs. The photo with me and Goofy was in January 2007 at 295 lbs. I'm trying to loose the weight but it has been a BIG BATTLE. Retired playing semi-pro football this past fall so I don't need the weight anymore.

The Calendar shows 37 but I don't always act that way! When I'm at WDW I feel more like 10!

I'm 37 going on 12. I hope I never "grow up" Our first trip was our honeymoon 15 years ago. We actually tented at Fort Wilderness in July! We've been back ten times since with our three sons. Last year we managed a three week trip! We will be doing another three week trip this summer.

 

[a Really Bad Egg]

46 young; will always be a kid at heart.

First visit was part of honeymoon trip; got addicted after staying onsite the 2nd visit; drank the DVC kool-aid to help family keep the tradition.
