Hi from Isabelle in FL!

Hi, all! I happened across this website while just wandering around the Internet and it seems really amazing! I live about 1 hr away from WDW, but I never get to go that much! I went for my birthday in Jan, but before that it was 4 yrs ago! I'm going in the middle of May, though! Just in time to see Flynn and Merida when they come to visit hopefully!
A little bit about me: I love Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, Disney (obviously), animals, my bunny Peter, and cheerleading. I hope to enter the Disney College Program and attend UCF when I graduate. (yeah, I'm kind of young to be on a "grown-ups" forum, I know - sorry!)
I'm really excited to be a part of this forum!!!

Hello Isabelle! Welcome to the forums, I know you'll like it here.

I've got a couple "young" grown-ups in my house. I just took my oldest daughter (almost 19) to WDW for a girls weekend, it was her first trip as an adult and she still loved every minute. Sounds like your at a great transitional point in your life and keeping the kid at heart by enjoying WDW is a fantastic choice!!

You're never too young or too old to love this forum or Disney! I too am a big Harry Potter fan as well as a Disney fan. Have you been to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter yet?

I've been to the WWoHP about 4 times! I can't get enough. Luckily, we get free tickets because my dad works over at Busch Gardens, and can trade his tickets for Universal ones!
In May, I'm only going to MK for a day. I don't get to stay anywhere (since I live so close!) But in Jan, I'll be going on a couple days vacation to WDW and staying at Port Orleans, probably

I am so jealous! I've only been there once. We tacked a day onto our October Disney trip. It was incredible, but it was so crowded it was hard to see everything. I'd love to go again!

Welcome welcome! I love your name

Your Dad works at Busch Gardens? That is fun! I haven't been there in forever! I went when I was in 7th grade when the Kumba (?) just opened..and my 12 year old self thought it was AMAZING.

Since your dad works at BG, I am assuming you are from the Tampa area? We live in Land O Lakes. We have annual passes and go to Disney ALOT. We had BG passes but definitely prefer Disney. I got sick of my husband comparing them to Disney everytime we went. They don't do things quite as well as Disney, but they have some great rides, especially coasters.
Welcome, this is a great site!

Yeah, we go to BG and SeaWorld a lot. They aren't nearly as great as Disney, but their coasters are pretty unbeatable, especially SeaWorld's! And yeah, I live in Wesley Chapel actually!

We are Mike and Julie Horrigan. I teach 2nd grade this year but have always taught kindergarten before that. I've been at Watergrass since it opened 3 yrs ago. What is your sisters name? Mike teaches chemistry at WRHS. He taught at WCHS for 1 yr, he's been at WRHS for 5 yrs. I'm sure your friends will know Mr. Horrigan. See it really IS a Small World!
