**DisVids - Come and Introduce Yourself and Meet Your Fellow UK Dissers**

Hi,

Former poster who can't remember their log in!
Its been 5 years since our last trip to WDW and we're just thinking of a trip next year.
It'll be me, the OH and our 2 girls (currently 12 and 10, should be 13 and 11 if we travel Aug 2017).
We need to know what's new, what's changed and when free dining is back!

If I'm anything like last trip I'll be here a lot!
Welcome back.
If you ask questions in the trip planning forum you will get replies :)

Favourite Florida Bits: While I worked in NE USA as a student, we have only been to WDW in Florida. We got married there in 2010 (10/10/10) as our son was 4, and we wanted him to enjoy the experience. We had Mickey and Donald at our wedding. This does mean the area is special to us. Sadly, DH has CLL now, and this upcoming trip will be our last

Hobbies: Mostly studying, but also films, and photography (watching, taking)
Likes and Dislikes: Likes - Puddings. Stick with that, but also travelling, holidays. Dislikes - Diets, drizzle.

Hello everyone, can't believe it took me so long to find the UK planners!
 
Hi all,

I started using the forums on and off last year when we decided to get married at WDW but never really came into the UK forums. Now I've started planning the actual holiday part of the wedding you might be seeing a lot more of me as I plead for your help whilst I am sorting out the trip.

I'll just say sorry now for all the millions of questions I'm going to be asking.

Here's me :)

Real name:
Jen

Engaged

Occupation: Writer/travel booker

Home town: Newcastle upon Tyne

Favourite restaurant:
Disney = Mama Melrose. Offsite = Cheesecake Factory

Hobbies: Listening to podcasts, shopping and Travelling

Likes: Christmas, Harry Potter, dog gifs and sitting in coffee shops (I'll probably be listening to a podcast whilst watching dog gifs)

Hi everyone!

Happy to be here!

Real name: Matt

Family:
Single, no kids. Parents and sister are all avid Dis'ers though.

Occupation: Photographer and teacher

Favourite park: Epcot - very difficult to decide between them all but I love the world showcase.

Favourite resort: I've stayed at All Stars Music, Movies, Pop Century and Caribbean Beach, of them all I honestly would have a hard time choosing my favourite. Movies has some great memories for me as it was our family holiday hotel for many years. Caribbean beach is where I was last, but the food court was so...meh. Loved the rest of the hotel though. I'd probably opt for Pop Century of them all. I haven't stayed at AKL but I have a strong feeling that would be my favourite if I had.

Favourite attraction:
Rock n Roller Coaster is my favourite ride, but if it counts as an attraction then definitely IllumiNations at Epcot.

Favourite restaurant:
Boma. For quick service though I really like the curry you can get in Japan.

Hobbies: Taking pictures, playing piano.

Likes: Going to Disney.

Dislikes
: Waiting to go to Disney.

Previous trips: 1991, 1997, about 3 or 4 times between 2001 and 2007, 2014, 2017 (DLP)

Our trip to Orlando: March 2018, Disney here I come. Pop Century for 2 weeks.

Hi all, thought I'd join the site and get involved as I've just booked our first ever trip to WDW for November 2019 :yay:

Name: Richard

Family: Beautiful wife Hayley (on here as 'Imperfect Princess'). 4 kids living at home and one at Uni.

Location: Wherever my job decides

Occupation: I'm in the Army

Hobbies: Sport (and lots of it) Mainly football but I'll watch/play pretty much anything competitive

Ride I'm most excited about: Test track. Wanted to go on this since I saw a Disney promotional video about it. Can't wait to actually ride it
 
:welcome: to the DIS Richard. Wow, first trip - how exciting.
I know, I really can't wait! I grew up in an area full of Americans and they all spoke about WDW and since I was about 5 years old, I've wanted to go! Loads of planning to do and a ton of questions to ask but we're really excited :teeth:

Oh, and thank you for the welcome btw :)
 
:wave:I'm Nina, been a member on here for a while, but only come on when planning a Disney trip:blush:
I've been *happily* married to Ste for 24yrs this June, DS Reece is 20.
So next year we are off to Disney for a triple celebration, Ste's 50th our 25th anniversary and Reece's 21stparty:
We also have 3 cats, Holly, Minnie (got to get a Disney name in) and Skip.
We live in Oldham, Greater Manchester
I am currently between jobs (read that as retired;))
I enjoy watching tv, drinking wine and going walking/on coach trips with my Mum.
When we're not going to Disney our favourite holiday destination is in Lower Largo in Scotland.
Currently our favourite resort is CBR but that could change with us staying at POFQ next year.
My all time favourite ride is Soarin, for us all it's Test Track, and at Universal for me & DS it's RRR.
 
Long time member here but been years since I last posted! Finally have a trip to plan so thought I'd reintroduce myself :)

Real name:
Liz or Lizzy, I'll answer to either!

Family: Myself, my partner of 8 years and our 3 children: 6 and 3 year old girls and a 2 year old boy :)

Occupation: Stay at home mum for now

Home town: Liverpool

Favourite park: Hollywood Studios

Favourite resort: only stayed at a couple but pofq was my favourite of them. Dream resort is AKL though ;)

Favourite attraction: Soarin

Favourite restaurant: La Cellier

Previous trips: 2002, 2005, 2007, 2009. Visited Dlrp and Dlr also.

Our trip to Orlando: 2020. Thinking February at the moment but that's subject to change. It'll be my partner and kid's first trip. We went to dlrp last year which was amazing, though I think my girls got more out of it than my son did. Orlando isn't a holiday we can afford to do frequently so we're waiting til 2020 partly to save up and also as the kids will be 4, 5 and 8 then so young enough for it to still be really magical for them but old enough to be able to go on a decent amount of rides :)
