Hi from Ireland :)

Hi this is my first time on this site, came across it looking for tips and decided to join!

I am currently planning a trip to WDW for eight days in Oct 2014 then to NYC. I have always loved anything Disney, especially the older animated movies.

I've been to Disneyland Paris twice and loved it. I can only imagine how much I am going to love Florida!

I'm a little awkward at times but I'm always willing to meet new people and talk Smile.

Well top of the morning to you..I stay right across the Irish Sea from you..Whatever weather you get,we get a hour or so later..LOL..Anyway,I've never been to Disney in Paris..My first encounter was way back in 2001 when we were visiting my wife's sister in Los Angeles...DL...To be honest, it was cool,but it wasn't until our first trip to WDW in 2004 that the pixie dust bit me..Are you staying inside the bubble.?..And if so, which resort.?..

Hi and welcome You will absolutely loved Walt Disney World! October is a great time of year to go: good weather, low crowds, plus the Food & Wine Festival at Epcot and the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom! Let us know if you have any questions or need help with your planning!

I am! Myself and my OH are going to be staying in the Pop Century Resort, after a lot of research it came up the best place for us to stay.

Oh wow, I would love to go in Cali but for now it WDW maybe DL soon after. Paris is good but there's just not that much in it. It would be worth the visit if you were in Paris and got the metro on a day trip.

Thank you for all the lovely welcomes Smile I was a tad bit nervous posting anything at first.

@Allie ha the weather and the crowds are the main reason we picked October to go. I'm no good in the hot weather (typical Irish girl!!) but thankfully there's loads on in DW in Oct to distract me, even if it does get warm!

@starwarsgirl95 the only good thing about DLP is that when it snows it looks amazing! Really Christmasie Smile

@VelcroPooh thank you Smile

@mrhub thank you for the welcome. I'm glad I joined now, I can see how friendly everybody is. Smile

@RobynPrincess I'm from south of Ireland. In Kildare (just south of Dublin). I know I can't wait to start booking everything.

@disneydi thank you Smile

@Magic Mirror thank you. You will love Ireland if you manage to visit when we have good weather! Oh I plan on DW being the holiday of a life time Smile

@JoAnn C thank you! I may be seeking your advice on which section to stay in when I'm booking the hotel Smile

@Eeyore thank you Smile

@alicemouse thank you. Oh that would be good, hopefully flights aren't delayed (I think I'm cursed with flights), I've never met up with anyone before it could be fun! Smile
