I read posts here everyday and respond to posts most days yet I know nobody here. I sometimes wonder what makes up a WDW fanatic. For instance I work in a department of 150 people. I know of nobody who also shares my WDW passion. People even joke around with me because they find it strange to love WDW so much.
So I was proposing that everyone (if they feel comfortable) to give a little info about themselves. Nothing that would bother you of course. It is just that I read from so many of you each day and wonder who you are. I wonder how some of you are able to go every year or three times a year (yes, I am jelous). And what makes you the WDW fanatic you are.
I will start:
Name: Mike
Age: 35
Status: Married with one kid
Location: NJ
How I fund my WDW habit: I am a software support rep for my company. My wife is an Administrative Assistant. (this is why we can only afford to go every couple of years)
How I got hooked on WDW: My parents took me and my two sisters for our first trip in 1973. My father told me that both he and my mother never had vacations as children. He had been to Washington DC for a long weekend once with his family. My mother had gone on only one trip with her family as well. Other than that they only did day trips to the beach. Because of this, after my parents took us the first time they were hooked on the fun we had as a family. After that we went every year until I was in my late teens.
My first WDW memory: the ones that stand out most are walking down Main Street holding my father's hand. And the Haunted Mansion.
Best WDW memory: All - though If I have to pick I would say being with my family as a child, which because of my father's job that was mainly the only time we were. And my honeymoon with my wife to WDW in 1993.
Favorite Attraction: Haunted Mansion
Number of trips: 20 I believe
Next trip: Jan 2005
That is all I can think of. If anyone who responds wants to add more, please do.
