Hey, my name is Ben and I actually found this site when I was digging around a bit for info on the Muppets Whatnot Workshop. I'm a big Disney fan (which surprises all my friends especially regarding my age) who also enjoys autocrossing. I'm a corporate tax accountant in Connecticut.
My next trip to Disney is in December, and will be my first without my parents, and the first since I graduated college in 2008. I'm going with my bro (in the HIMYM sense) Eric and my two friends (married couple) Julie and Mike. Eric hasn't been to Disney in a very long time, and the same goes for Julie and Mike. Eric and I decided we're doing Disney "baller status" so we're staying at the Animal Kingdom Lodge in a Savannah View Room, and just decided to go full on Deluxe Dining Plan. I'm VERY much looking forward to this trip. I'm actually quite excited because I have to empty out my "change loafer" in my apartment. In June or July of 2010, I finally decided that I wanted to go to Disney, and so I started saving change by rounding all cash purchases up to the nearest dollar. So I have two bowls worth of change at my parents' house, and I need to transfer those to a bag. However, I didn't have any change bowls when I moved out into my own apartment in October, so I've been filling a spare loafer with change. I'll certainly provide pictures in my blog, which I'll update today, and then update this thread with the URL later.
I'm a fairly active member over at WDWLive's forums, and also at CTSubie.com, a forum for Connecticut Subaru owners. I love legally racing my car (in autocross, as I mentioned earlier) and have an unhealthy obsession with Hidden Mickeys.
Here's a picture of me geeking out with Jedi Mickey in 2008:
And here's a picture of me doing my best impression of The Stig in my car at an autocross event.
I hope to get to know a bunch of you, and talk about Disney to keep my dreams alive in these cold winter months!
