Sounds very similar to our situation. I persuaded DW that we should get one as I was working abroad at the time and was being tmepted by some of the offers to move overseas full time. The dog was originally bought as an 'anchor' to ensure that didnt happen
Now we wouldn't be without him

Favourite park: Magic Kingdom - nothing beats the feelin I get when I see the Castle for the first time crossin Bay Lake.
Even tho we stay onsite and can use Disney transport we take the car our first day and take the boat over....Magical.

Favourite resort: Wilderness Lodge - It had long been my dream resort and my DH " found " the money last year for us to stay there.
It did not disappoint,it was amazing.
We are back in the values were we belong but thats ok with me because I have stayed at Movies and POP before and loved them too.


Favourite attraction: Although MK is my favourite Park ToT is my favourite attraction.


Favourite restaurant Ohanas for best friends breakfast, this is a family last full day tradition and it lets me pretend Im stayin at the Poly !!

Thanks for the introduction Vickie

We are all Liverpool supporters in our house and always keep an eye on Celtics results too, due to the special bond between the 2 clubs

I've been lurking on here for ages but just recently started posting so here goes!

Real name: Ashleigh

Family: Me (25), DBF Ally (25, Lightning_McQueen on here) and Boo Radley my gigantic chihuahua

Occupation: I have just gained full registration as a teacher and have just finished my probationary year - so no job for just now! When I get back from September trip I will have to find one

Home Town: Just outside Glasgow, Scotland.

Hobbies: I started running this year and I love it! Such a sad hobby haha! Other than that I like shopping, reading and motorsports.

Favourite Park: I love them all for different reasons but for me the Magic Kingdom is the epitome of Disney magic!

Favourite Resort: Have only ever stayed in Wilderness Lodge and loved it so much we are going back this time! One day I would like to stay in the Grand Floridian but would have to save up a bit longer to budget for that!

Favourite Attraction: Even though I cried queuing for ToT the first time it is my favourite and I could go on it over and over and over again (if DBF would let me!)

Favourite Restaurant I really can't choose - most memorable food was at Jiko but I love the atmosphere in Ohana and California Grill.

Nice to meet you Ashleigh

Hope you will find time to share your next trip with us all

Welcome Ashleigh, sorry I missed your post while I was on holiday.

Welcome Claire, Why anyone wants tattoos or body piercing is beyond me but, I almost faint if I have to give blood, needles in bodies its just not right.
