First Time Poster - Long time listener... how original is that?

KippWade · 10-07-2007, 08:02 PM

Not exactly my first time posting here... but let's just say that it is

I've been listening to Lou since the early days of Mouse|Tunes. I bought the Trivia books in the twofer special. Lou signed them, how nice!

I've been a big fan of Disney World for quite some time... probably my first visit in 1982, or my first visit to Disneyland in 1979.

While I was in high school, my family would visit WDW about once a year. Then, after I graduated in '86, I went the following year in spring break in 1987.

I didn't return to a Disney property until my job sent me for training in Los Angeles in 2002. I spent a day at Disneyland and started to catch the bug again.

I then had more training for work in May 2004, and again went to Disneyland AND California adventure. By this time, the Disney bug was biting me big time.

My best friend and I then decided to take a trip. We decided to visit Walt Disney World for an extended vacation during Thanksgiving of 2005.

We had a BLAST. I went again, with my mother this time, in June of 2006. I went with Dad during Thanksgiving of 2006.

I last went for a long weekend, on Sept 7th through the 10th for free dining. I picked up an annual pass at this point, as I'm planning on going quite a bit during the next year

Next Trip will be for Mousefest!

Mom and I are planning our "Big Oh's" birthday bash for June of 2008. I'll probably be going again in September of '08, and possibly Mousefest '08 depending on how I like Mousefest '07

I actually don't have it...

I got snipped on E-Bay for it, so I took the picture instead

I see them up on E-Bay regularly, they were a part of a set from 2002 I think.

If I lived a bit closer to Chicago, I'd definitely be going to get my favorite pizza more often!
