Hi all,

My family and I live in West Monroe, La. Any more Louisiana WDW lovers out there?
*********************************************************
Okay guys, this thread has grown a good bit since I first started it. It would be great if some of us could actually meet each other while on vacation or at least look for the Louisiana Lime Green Mickey Heads in their resort windows. So, I have gone through the thread and made a list of who is staying where and on what dates.

Some posters didn't give dates or where they were staying. If you want to post this information, I'll go back and amend the original post.

Hey Ya'll! It's been a while since I have been on the boards. I had quite a few things happen the last couple of months.

First, my daughter, who is in missionary college, was injured while on a mission trip. Her foot and ankle was caught in a metal door and she was cut pretty badly. Bad enough that even now, a month and a half later, the scab has just now come off. It was hard for her dad and I 'cause she is in Georgia and we are in Louisiana. I don't care that she is 21 years old.....she's still my baby.

Second, my boss and I had a falling out 'cause he let my health insurance lapse and, even though he withheld the money from my paycheck, didn't want to reimburse me. So, I found another paralegal job. More money. Less work. Less hours too!

Bad thing is, I had to start two days before we were supposed to go to WDW! We had to cancel our annual WDW vacation. I was sick to death and, in all honesty, I couldn't even read the Disboards. I just started back last week or so.

Good thing about the new job? He is known to pay for his staff's vacations as a bonus. I've known him for years so I have already told him that I WOULD be going to WDW next year....no matter what. I've also been laying a guilt trip on him about giving up my WDW vacation to go to work for him.

Now I'm feeling better so I'm going to update the list of Louisiana Disney World Lovers.

August, 2008

New boss says to book a WDW vacation! I got a really great deal by using the End of The Summer Special Offer. Able to book our favorite resort....CBR for next to nothing!

***********************************************************
December 1, 2008:

Hi ya'll! I've tried to keep the list updated to include new posters and their dates.

I took advantage of the buy 4/get 3 free deal and was able to book a 10 day/9 night stay! So, I've updated my dates as well!

**********************************************************
February 9, 2009:

Well, I am sure that everybody knows that the Buy 4/Get 3 free promo has been extended through August 15, 2009. If I change my travel dates from May to August, we'll save an additional $300.00. Now, we just have to make up our mind if we want to travel during our normal time (May/June) or go in August. Decisions! Decisions!

**********************************************************

February 29, 2009:

Definitely going to stay at Pop Century in August, 2009. A bit worried about "downgrading" from the CBR to Pop but I'm sure we'll be okay. I'm updating the list again to add a new member!

***********************************************************

March 16, 2009:

I'm still undecided where to eat during our upcoming trip. I wish the ADR system were back to the 180 days and I'd already have them made!!!!!

April 27, 2009:

I am just waiting for the August hours to be published so I can make our final decision on where to eat. It's so funny 'cause at home, we aren't "foodies" but at Disney we totally are!

WELLL.....
We live in Kenner {New Orleans}
But I can't say we are Disney LOVERS. We just got back Sunday from our very first trip. We had a MISERABLE time. We all {7 of us} swore that we'd NEVER go back ~ Even my 7yo DS.
BUT, after thinking it over, I told DH that we just HAVE to give it another shot. He thinks I'm Crazy. {His EXACT words ~ "ARE YOU CRAZY?!?!?!"} But, I do believe that you should try something at least twice before you give up on it. So, we are going to go back in January 2010. :confused3
 
The first time we went to Epcot, we hated it. I thought I had totally wasted the almost $200.00 it spent for all of us to get in. We knew we were going back so I decided, right then and there, that I was going to put in some major time doing research. I didn't know about these boards back then but I did hit the library and Books a Million.

I think that, since I knew more about the attractions, rides, etc., we were better able to take a more in depth look at Epcot. We absolutely loved it the second go-round.

If you ever want to ask any questions or need any tips from a Louisiana neighbor, just let me know and I'll be glad to pass them along.
 

I am in Norco right outside of Kenner.

We are Disney lovers. My first time was on my honeymoon in 2000 and I was hooked after that. Since we have kids we have been in Nov 2005, Feb 2007.

Our future trips are Dec 2008 ( my oldest will miss school because it maybe our only chance to go at Christmas with DH's work). Mardi Gras 2010 we are doing just the sea part of cruise, and then going back to WDW Mardi Gras 2011.
 
Hey my 2 DDs & I are from Mandeville! We love Disney!! We are DVC owners at VWL & BC. We also love to stay at Old Key West, All Star Music, Port Orleans French Quarter, and the Fort Wilderness Cabins!!

Per my DD 10:
We have been to Disney over 20 times. I think it will never get old!
My favorite rides are Splash Mountain, Rocken' Rollercoaster, Space Mountain, and Dumbo just to name a few.
pirate::scared1:
 
Hi, we are from Bossier City- DH,DM,DS8,DD6. We are taking our first trip as a family to Disney July 08 and we can't wait. I have been a few times before but this will by the first time for DH,DS and DD.


:cheer2:
 
We are from St. Amant some call it Gonzales, LA...We are Disney lovers....I have been pleny of times as a child and My husbands first trip was for our Disneymoon in 1995. We have made a couple of trips since then the latest was in Sept. 2007 free dining....:cool1: We loved every minute of that trip...We are planning the next trip for Late May 2009 :banana: I cant wait i could go now...The kids are asking everyday when can we go back to Disney again...We watch everything that comes on TV about Disney over and over...Glad to know there are Louisiana fans out there...:yay:

GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!!!:cheer2:
 
I live in LaPlace, so I am close to many of you. We are headed back this summer when school lets out.
 
Baton Rouge born and raised, but growing up when my dad said "I want to go home", :lmao: he was telling my mom nicely that it was time for a Disney trip. I'm only 19, and I've been way more times than I am old.:eek: This September will be my fiance's first trip ever :scared1: and then (if he still as excited about Disney as he is now... and he better be) were going back in May 09 for our honeymoon!!! :woohoo: :yay: I'd live there if I could even though I love my Tigers!!! :tigger: (<----- close enough right)
What are Louisianians favorite things to do in WDW?
 
lilpixiebabe - Story sounds familiar

My DH lived in Orlando for 2 years (military brat) but his parents never took him. In my family that is considered abusive!::upsidedow His first trip was our honeymoon. He will be making his 4th trip in 11 years this summer. Now that our boys are of a good traveling age for us that number may continue to grow. Last summer, he leaned over during dinner and said we eat here again. This is the same man who plays off that he only goes because we like it. Yeah right... we know the truth.

Good luck and WDW is a fabulous place to honeymoon;) . Any ideas on where you might stay for that trip?
 
I love the atmosphere. the people the food. its a home away from Louisiana. one day I will brave it and leave the kids @ home.
 
He wants to stay at Allstar Sports. He saw all the theme stuff and thought that was super neat. My fam usually stayed at either an all star or once we stayed at CSR and once at WL.
 
Usta be from LA but we had to move north so we could work and eat and go to Disney...sure do miss the food and people and... everything, almost, do not miss the fire ants.
