New to the site, ready to drink fizz and make some friends

Hey there, Hi there, Ho there to everyone on the site.

This was the first time I've seen the site anywhere so I thought I'd pop in, sign up and see what goes on.

I'm a self confessed Disney World nut.
Heading back there in 195 days.. (Who's counting right?)

Why not speak to me - Ask me stuff - Who knows, I might even tell the truth!

In the meantime, I'm gonna hit the forums.

mickey

See ya in the parks!

Welcome to the boards...you are going to love the people here. Everyone is so friendly and helpful.
So when you go back in 195 days (not that anyone is counting laugh ) where are you staying? Who is going? How many days? Do you know where you would like to eat?
You said to ask so am asking away...

Welcome and congrats on your upcoming marriage. And having your honeymoon at Disney I can't think of a better way to start off your new life. So have you made any plans yet? If so what are they?

Thank you! we actually got married on December 21st 2013 but we couldn't go on our honeymoon right after due to lack of leave time at work and funds, but we are going in September of this year and we can't wait!! we are getting ready to book everything now. we are planning on staying at Pop Century but I've been thinking we should stay somewhere a little bit more high end. Does anybody have any suggestions for a nice and affordable honeymoon suite in Disney?

Littlehoward, affordable and honeymoon suite do not fit together in Disney, sorry!. Hey why don't you start an introduction thread of your own and tell us a little bit more about yourself, we all love to hear about peoples plans. Just don't want to highjack Blackeyed's thread.

Hi and welcome and congrats on your marriage! We'll be there in September at Pop Century, also! We took a late honeymoon/1st anniversary trip and stayed at a moderate resort. It was more substantially more affordable then a honeymoon suite at a deluxe resort and still felt a little nicer and further removed from the craziness then a value. POR and POFQ get great reviews!

Thank you all for your welcome.
It's true that although there's less than 200 days to go.... We were there in October! Old Key West was great, so relaxing sitting on the balcony in the morning with a fresh cup of coffee... ahh bliss.

We're staying off site this year ( not my choice I assure you ) though we'll be just across the road from DTD.

We got married at WDW just over 7 years ago.. If you've never been to the terrace at the Wilderness Lodge you should check it out.
Have bought and sold DVC membership (kids came along and sucked up all the money!)
And I compare every meal to the one we had at V&A's - before the kids obviously.

I'm sure most of you on the forum are like me and have many mickey references in your home and try to keep the magic in all that you do.
awesome

Welcome! Which DTD area hotel are you staying in? I stayed in a Courtyard pretty close in before taking the DVC plunge. Across from DTD is still a great location. mickey
