Hi from NYC

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!

Thanks again for the welcome everyone.

Magic Mirror I agree, dessert is the best and Disney offers a lot of good desserts/snacks!

Hi and welcome Do you have a trip planned for this fall as well?

Sadly I think our trip this year is going to have to be postponed. I was hoping for us to go the first week of December to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday and to see all the Christmas decorations again. Unfortunately some members of my family are struggling with long-term illnesses and have taken a turn for the worse this year so our time (mainly my mom's time) and finances aren't conducive to a trip, but we are hoping for 2015 trip and will put the extra year to good use with planning and anticipation of the fun.

Allie, I see you only have two months until your next trip. You must be getting excited!!!

Sorry to hear that! I hope your family recovers quickly and you're able to plan an even bigger and better trip next year!

We are getting very excited at my house...only 78 days to go!

Welcome, CEB!

Sorry to hear you can't go back this fall, and even sorrier that your family is struggling. Here's hoping that they're feeling better soon!!

We're glad you're here!
