Hi, I have posted a couple ofthings on the Uk boards, but i mainly Lurk

I am trying to particiapate a bit more these days. :O)

The Real Me: Andrea aged 29 DH Martin 37 - DD1 Summer Rose 3 DD2 Lacey Belle 1 and for good measure DD3 is due in about 10 days time EEK!!

Occupation: When not on maternity leave i am a claims negotiator for a travel insurance company.

Favourite Park: Epcot - Love world showcase and Illuminations Rocks.

Favourite rides: ToT and Soarin' - The last visit i was pregnant so couldnt ride hardly any of the rides so the next trip i intend to ride them all

Favourite resort: OKW we come back every year :O)

Best Disney moment: There have been many, but by far the first time my 1 year old saw Mickey Mouse. She literally grabbed his nose when he bent down and wouldnt let go, kept kissing it. Very cute, but the CM was slightly afraid Mickey might have an accident which may have resulted in a few tears from other chidren as it was a vice like grip she had

Worst Disney moment: Nothing to do with disney, but travelling with my In laws 2 years running, the arguments the first year should have been a warning, this years were unlike anything i have ever seen - Swore NEVER again and meant it - Even to the point i would rather NOT go back than go ANYWHERE with them again! Just shows how bad they are

favourite Restaurant onsite: Raglan Road and House of Blues, although was disappointed they had taken the Wild Mushroom and chicken Pasta off the menu on the last visit as this was my ultimate fav dish in DTD!

Favourite Restaurant offsite - Chilli's and Bubba Gump - just love the shrimpin dippin Broth! No matter how hot it is outside i always order this dish and its got quite a kick.

Cant wait for my girls to be old enough to do Discovery Cove. My Hubbie and I got married in the Domincan Republic and swam with dolphins on our honeymoon, cant wait to share this experience with our girls.

Yep can feel your pain on that one...been there also

Welcome and good luck in 10 days time with DD3

Thanks - think i'll need it.

Its a shame on UK soil they are fine - But the altitude when flying seems to provide them with a temporary personality transplant!!

However, they are the type that think they are in the right no matter what the circumstances. I refuse to expose my kids to that kind of crazy anymore. LOL

Am looking forward to 4 weeks of just Hubbie and the Kids be nice to just do our own thing. Without worrying about what the other "grown ups" are getting up to!

Hi

I am Michelle and I am Disney crazy (aren't we all!?)

Age: 26

Family: DH 27

Occupation: Veterinary Care Assistant

Favourite park: Ohh, it's a toss up between EPCOT and HS

Favourite resort: Dolphin was a lovely hotel, great location. Although AKL was awesome because we were lucky enough to get upgraded to Savannah view, eating breakfast on the balcony and watching the Giraffes every morning was AMAZING!!

Favourite attraction: EE, TT, ToT, Rock'n Rollercoaster, Splash Mountain and BTTMRR

Favourite restaurant: Soooo much good food, but I would have to say that I really enjoyed Boma.

Favourite characters: Mary Poppins. It is my life long dream to work at Disney and be MAry Poppins in the parade

Been on the boards for a few years, but I've only just discovered this thread so thought I'd add my little profile to it!
Pretty much I'm just copying the above post and replacing with my answers (thanks Emma!!!).



Real name: Steve

Age: 31

Family: DW29, no kids

Occupation: Assistant Section Manager in a supermarket

Favourite park: Epcot, 100%, with MK coming in 2nd

Favourite resort: Onsite we've only done Dolphin and AKL, but doing YC next sept. Fave so far is the Dolphin. Love it so much, and love the location.

Favourite attraction: Can't choose just one... Space mountain, test track, splash mountain, love spaceship earth for nostalgia reasons. Also have a weird love for tomorrow land transit authority...

Favourite restaurant: One of my favourite things about wdw is the dining. Resort wise, I love Cali grill and citricos. Boma and Sanaa are also cool. In the parks, I love the world showcase. San angel inn is soooo romantic and different. Love morocco too, and always love going to the rose and crown.

Favourite characters: Donald duck is hilarious, has to be him.


Not much else to say. Clearly, I love Disney! Always love watching the films, but particularly I love the parks. I'd go a few times a year if I could afford it. My favourite park is wdw, it's the most magical, for me, by a mile. I'm literally counting down the days to our next holiday there, and am already planning our schedule and dining (I know, really sad).

So hi to all of you. Probably I've spoken to a lot of you before but nice to make it formal! By the way, it's 429 days...

According to the powers that be I’m supposed to give my details here. And introduce myself

So here goes.

Firstly Hello I’m Tony.

I’m older than I would care to be, but still young enough to enjoy life.

1. Married (25 Years)

2. Wife (Yes )

3. Children (Yes) 2 all grown up and the twins aged 7.

4. Dog (Yes )

5. Live in Gods county of Yorkshire. Any Yanks reading this we are the Texas of England. Big, Bold, Brassy and the Best.

6. Been to Disney more times than I care to Remember. First time we went Old Town was called New Town.

7. Favourite Park……………………… Hollywood Studies.

8. Favourite Resort………………… All Star Music. I just loved the atmos.

9. Favourite Pig Out Stop…………. Too many to say. But if you push me 50s Prime and Dine. I just love the chicken.

10. Favourite Ride……………………… Star Tours, Tower Of Terror, and It’s
a small world……. Joking! Like everyone over the age of 12 I hate it with a passion.

11. Favourite Character…………….. Donald, He has attitude.

12. Favourite none Disney…………. Don’t make me laugh how anyone
could compete with Disney is unthinkable! Ok Universal studios had a couple of good bit but it’s not Disney.

So that’s about it. Nothing exciting I know. Just your average Disney Nut who thought he’d pass on his years of experience to anyone who cares to listen.

And please take all comments in the spirit that they are given………………. Tongue in Cheek and hopefully not the least offensive. If I do upset anyone, please note it is totally unintentional and I am truly sorry.

Regards

T

Ps. I can't spell..................sorry

Hello all,

My name is Paul, live in West Yorkshire with my oh Sarah and ds who is 3, we are hopefully going to see Mickey and his friends next year in the summer holidays.

thanks u' all

Great to find out about members new & old.

Tony, I spent a lot of time in Liversedge when I was younger my Auntie & Uncle lived on Milton Gardens, my other Uncle lives on Thornleigh Drive.

Paul, I used to know Garforth quite well, we have 2 lots of friends who live in Rothwell so had plenty of meals out that way, Swan at Aberford one of our favourites although not been for a long time. We used to goto a club in Garforth for a drink, on the main Aberford rd but its a lot of years ago so can't remember the name, its probably an Indian or Chinese restaurant now

 

[pda789]

Hi Wayne,

we are quite new to Garforth (about three years) but we love the place, i went to the swan a few years ago and was introduced to Barnsley chops (nearly fell off my chair when i saw the size of the plate) it was a really nice place when i visited.

the club im not sure about but there is an Aagrah there on Aberford rd now so you could be right about that one

They used to do a mixed grill (Billy Bunter?) it didn't come on a plate, it came on a tray it was so big. All their food was large portions but it must be 2 years since we visited.

No appolgies required, there are no silly questions (unless you are going to ask what time is the 3 o'clock parade, now that is a silly question)
I look forward to trying to help with any questions you have.

Thanks I really like this part of the Dis Everyone seems really close and tight knit. Like a smaller community than the US side so its easier get to know the frequent posters!

i have learned so much on this board - besides just making planning easier, it's saved me a bundle of money over the years!!!!

and everyone is so nice, it makes it all that much more fun!
