Hi, I'm a longtime reader but this is my first time posting (hopefully I did this right). I've enjoyed reading all of your tips and reports about your trips. They've helped make my trips to Disney World even more special and let me experience the magic even when I can't be there myself.
A little about me - I'm in my 30s and have lived in NYC for the last 10 years where I work for an environmental non-profit. I grew up watching Disney movies but only went to Disney World once as a kid (for one day) and once as a teenager (for a high school band performance). I helped a friend plan a trip for her family a couple of years ago, which made me really want to go. I've been lucky enough to spend a week in the World the last four falls! My favorite resort is the Contemporary - I love that you can walk to the Magic Kingdom and like that it has a fitness room (I'm weird and like to workout on vacation). While I enjoy all of the parks, my favorite is the Magic Kingdom, with Epcot a close second. My favorite ride is the Haunted Mansion. I'm not really into food, sorry I know that's a favorite topic (remember I already said I'm weird), and tend to just eat at counter service places.
I look forward to participating in the forum and getting to know all of you!
