When was the first time you visited Disneyland?
The first time I visited Disneyland was in 1986, I was 4 years old.
When was the last time you visited Disneyland?
I was there in dec with my DH
Just the two of us.
How often do you visit Disneyland?
We try to go at least once a year, although it has grown to several visits each year lately.
Are you a local, within 2-3 hour drive to Disneyland? Or a non-local?
Not yet but may be moving down there next summer.
For the non-locals, how long do you stay?
We like to stay at least 4 days, I prefer five or six.
Do you visit Disneyland more often or Walt Disney World more often?
We go to each park once a year.
When was the first time you came to the DIS, why did you come to the DIS, and how did you find the DIS?
I was looking up info on DVC and found that board. Made my way to the disneyland section.
How often do you visit the DIS?
Daily
Have you ever met anyone from the DIS? Who was the first person you met.
Haven't met anyone yet
Have you ever been to a DIS Meet?
Nope but I think it'd be fun!
Tell us a moment that sticks out in your mind - funny, embarrassing, or touching - at Disneyland.
I dont have just one, way too many great memories there.
Tell us a little bit about you.
I am 26 1/2, happily married to the love of my life and soulmate, have 2 beautiful babies...a 2 yr old boy and a 10 month old baby girl. I love to cook, bake more specifically...our house always has something freshly baked waiting in the kitchen I love spending time with friends and family and being outdoors 
Do you have any pictures you'd like to share with us?
Not at the moment but I will after next week!
Add whatever you'd like.
I wish I lived closer so I could visit frequently. It truly is my happy place and I wish I could feel that magic more often.

When was the first time you visited Disneyland?
I think around 1965 or 66.
When was the last time you visited Disneyland?
About 3 weeks ago
How often do you visit Disneyland?
growing up yearly, usually just for one day. When my DD was young yearly for a week. Now usually every 3 years or so for a week.
Do you visit Disneyland more often or Walt Disney World more often?
WDW. We will have used our APs for 3 week long trips this year.
When was the first time you came to the DIS, why did you come to the DIS, and how did you find the DIS?
I started lurking on the DIS back in 1998. I remember being so nervous about asking any questions. Back in those days there were probably four or five boards. The Community Board was really scary, and it took forever to get the courage to post on it. I came to the DIS when we were planning our WDW vacation, and started on another board that no longer exists (went out with HUGE drama), and a poster there named Ahnalira told me about the DIS, so I came over, and stayed.
I came to the DIS at almost the exact same time, and the exact same way. That was a sad situation......I thought that was a great guidebook too.
How often do you visit the DIS?
Um .... daily.
Have you ever met anyone from the DIS? Who was the first person you met. Have you ever been to a DIS Meet?
Yes. In 2000, I met Judy from Boise (and boy was I NERVOUS!).
Me too. MJ and her family were our first DISers to meet. MJ tells a funny story how she expected "Dave" to be my DS, not my DH!

One of the things that make me admire Disney is how they treat the military . When my DF returned from 3 years of duty in Southeast asia during the Vietnam conflict, Disney was the only company to have a thank you program. That was our first family trip where we stayed overnight. They provided free tickets and lodging.
Do you have any pictures you'd like to share with us?
I think this was my DDs second trip at 4 years old.
Maybe 3 years and 3 trips later!

When was the first time you visited Disneyland?
---- Fall of 2007. We got to see the Haunted Mansion Overlay on our first visit. What a treat!! We loved it so much we went back the next year in the Summer time.
2.
When was the last time you visited Disneyland?
----- Summer of 2008. 9 Months later or something like that!!!!
3.
How often do you visit Disneyland?
------ We are going this summer but this will probably be the last year until they open Route 66/Carsland.
4.
Are you a local, within 2-3 hour drive to Disneyland? Or a non-local?
------ Non local.
5.
For the non-locals, how long do you stay?
----- We usually stay 3-4 four days in DL proper. A week for the entire trip.
6.
Do you visit Disneyland more often or Walt Disney World more often?
---- It use to be the "World" but now our new favorite is definitely DL!!!
7.
When was the first time you came to the DIS, why did you come to the DIS, and how did you find the DIS?
----- I use to visit WDWMAGIC.com but somehow found the site "thedisneyportal" which lists all the top sites for all things disney and the next I knew I was addicted to this site but it was for WDW at first.
8.
How often do you visit the DIS?
---- Sadly enough it is daily. Like I said before I am addicted. I am now into the Photography section.
9.
Have you ever met anyone from the DIS? Who was the first person you met. Have you ever been to a DIS Meet?
----Never had the pleasure yet.

----We were gettting ready for Remember Dreams Come True and I left my wife and two little kids to go find a precious moment figurine that my wife really wanted. I was running through every store trying to get back before the fireworks started. My oldest daughter was searching with me. I found it and raced back to the hub and surprised her with it. It was our last night and it made her cry. We both love Disney so much. It was the highlight of our last trip.
11.
Tell us a little bit about you.
----I've worked retail my whole life. I've been a store manager for several companies. In my younger days I use to manage record stores. I love music. Well I knew the business was declining several years ago so I went back to college and got my degree in business. I am currently a store manager at our local Office Depot. Great company and I hope you will all shop there. I know Staples is the "hot" supplies store but we are great and customer service is something we pride ourselves on.
We love to vacation as a family. We have been to Disneyworld many many times. We have also been to Denver, Chicago, Nashville, Minnesota, St Louis, Portland, Seattle, LA (of course), and San Diego. We are headed to Monterey, San Francisco, Yosemite Natl Park, and of course DL again.
12.

---- Thanks to all for being so kind. I love that there are people from all over the U.S. loving the original park so much. I can't believe that even people from across the pond participate too. These boards are a great way for me to learn more and more about DL and to wind down a busy day. It really is so relaxing and therapeutic.
I would also like to say the my family believes in Jesus Christ and we regularly attend Church. He is our Lord and Savior. My daughter will be confirmed next year. Our priest said one thing on Easter that really touched me....Someone was getting baptized in our church and he was really nervous and stuff and even mentioned how he was bad at tests (not sure why he said this) but during the homily our pastor said there would only be one test and that at the end of time God would ask us one question...."Did you do your best to follow what my Son has taught you"?
Great job Mary Jo on creating this thread.

When was the first time you visited Disneyland?
I *think* 2001 with my DH. I grew up in the south so had been to WDW many times. I quickly grew to love DL.
When was the last time you visited Disneyland?
End of February
How often do you visit Disneyland?
It used to be once a year, then we got an annual pass in January and are determined to get our monies worth out of it! Next week will be the third time since January.
Are you a local, within 2-3 hour drive to Disneyland? Or a non-local?
For the non-locals, how long do you stay?
We're non-local. We've come to determine that our ideal time spent there are four days.
Do you visit Disneyland more often or Walt Disney World more often?
The Land!
When was the first time you came to the DIS, why did you come to the DIS, and how did you find the DIS?
I think I found it after reading a planning book and this was one of the suggested forums. I think I first came in '06, might have been '07.
How often do you visit the DIS?
Everyday, I have a quick link on my phone. It's sort of my zen time. I always want to read the trip reports, but can never get through them because I get bored reading about kids. I know I just offended a ton of people right then, but it's my own personal issue and cross to bear. I apologize and you'll never hear it from me again!
Have you ever met anyone from the DIS? Who was the first person you met. Have you ever been to a DIS Meet?
Three no's.
Tell us a moment that sticks out in your mind - funny, embarrassing, or touching - at Disneyland.
Two moments--one would be my meltdown at the Napa Rose (see February 09 trip report)
The other would be a couple of years ago when we went around the holidays right after DH had ACL surgery and was hobbling around the parks on crutches. We met a wonderful couple with their special needs son, first we met them while going on Space Mountain, then we kept running into them later on. At one point DH and I were walking down the street in the Hollywood Pictures Backlot area, and I hear this voice yelling out 'hey crip! get out of the way!' I was so angry, when I turned around I apparently had murder in my face. There was the dad with his son just dying of laughter. I about died.
Tell us a little bit about you.
33 and married for nine years, no kids, no desire to have them--ever. I was on a path to be a professional ballet dancer as a teenager before injury sidelined me. I was able to still get a BFA in dance and now I run a ballet school about an hour away from Seattle. I still take class twice a week and am devoted to Gyrotonics. When I can I like to read fantasy/romance, but that's a rarety. Even though I grew up in the south, I'm a very typical Pacific Northwestener--protest march anyone?
Do you have any pictures you'd like to share with us?
Of me? no, I have major body image issues left over from ballet days, so I try to never have photos taken of myself (my poor mom, with her being a scrapbooker and all). However, this is one of my favorite all time photos that I've taken at DL.
Add whatever you'd like.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. I used to hate Disney, I went with DH to Disneyland because he loved it and I liked roller coasters. As a kid, I hated going with my parents and their friends. As a teenager I hated going with the school band. I was just miserable.
As an artist I thought it went against everything I ever believed in. Then I saw the Tiki Room under New Management and everything changed. The TRUNM was so, so bad that it made me realize just how brillant everything else in Disney was. Now Disney inspires me. After a trip I come back rejuvinated and ready to work and to do my best and bring out the best in my students and staff.
--that, and of course it's tons of fun going with DH! love you babe!

I figured I should do one too!
1. When was the first time you visited Disneyland?
Back when I was really little. Probably when I was 3 or 4, so like 1995 or so
2. When was the last time you visited Disneyland?
December 23rd, 2008
3. How often do you visit Disneyland?
Once a year on average, although in the past few years it's been more
4. Are you a local, within 2-3 hour drive to Disneyland? Or a non-local?
Non-local, it's about an 6-7 hour drive from our house up in Nor cal
5. For the non-locals, how long do you stay?
3 days is good, especially with my amazing touring skills
6. Do you visit Disneyland more often or Walt Disney World more often?
DL by far. Only been to WDW once.
7. When was the first time you came to the DIS, why did you come to the DIS, and how did you find the DIS?
I came when I was planning my one day trip in July 2005 during the 50th Anniversary. I found it so helpful that I came back to plan for our February 2006 trip and I've been here since. Don't remember how I found these boards though.
8. How often do you visit the DIS?
Lol, daily, multiple times. Yep, I'm addicted. I spent a bit of time on the WDW boards when planning for that trip. But I definitely prefer the DL boards because of the great community. I also venture on over to the Teen Board or Community Board on occasion if I'm bored.
9. Have you ever met anyone from the DIS? Who was the first person you met. Have you ever been to a DIS Meet?
Nope, but I did see some LGMHs during my October trip.
10. Tell us a moment that sticks out in your mind - funny, embarrassing, or touching - at Disneyland.
Maybe cause it was my last trip and it's still fresh in my memory, but seeing my little cousins experience the magic for the first time was priceless. Especially the younger one who loved BTMRR!
11. Tell us a little bit about you.
Teenager (junior in high school) obsessed with the DIS and DL in general. I also like hanging out with my friends. Ummm...I'm random. I play baseball for school and I play the clarinet too. Oh, and my ethnicity is all mixed up. I'm 1/2 Chinese, 1/4 Mexican, and 1/4 Irish. I'm like EPCOT's World Showcase if it were a person.
12. Do you have any pictures you'd like to share with us?
Sure, but you can find a ton more in my amazing Photo TRs (lol modesty). I'll post one from each of my photo TRs, although I don't have any shots of me from my WDW trip.
August 07: Me in the back of Splash
August 08: My friend and I about to ride TSMM for the first time
October 08: Dream FPs!
December 08: Me and my cousin. Although it looks like i'm molesting Mickey's leg, my cousin has a priceless expression.

I'm more of a lurker than a poster on the DL boards, but I love hearing about what's going on at my favorite place.
When was the first time you visited Disneyland?
I'm not too sure...I've heard my parents and both sets of grandparents started taking me when I was very young so probably the mid-late 60s.
When was the last time you visited Disneyland?
Last trip was Sept 2008.
How often do you visit Disneyland?
When our kids were growing up we'd go once a year or every two years. Lately it's been a couple of trip a year.
Are you a local, within 2-3 hour drive to Disneyland? Or a non-local?
Non-Local, it's a 6-8 hour drive depending on traffic, so we usually fly (Gotta love those SWA Ding fares).
For the non-locals, how long do you stay?
3 - 5 nights depending on how large our group is and who's traveling with us.
Do you visit Disneyland more often or Walt Disney World more often?
Disneyland, hands down. We didn't take our first trip to WDW until Oct 2000.
When was the first time you came to the DIS, why did you come to the DIS, and how did you find the DIS?
May 2005, I came home from a weekend at the coast and found I'd received a FedEx envelope stating I won a free 4 night trip to WDW or DL.
DH & I were just saying the day before we needed to save and plan another family trip to WDW, so I guess we got our wish. I didn't even remember entering a contest so I thought it was a scam, so I began looking for info on the internet to see if it was for real and found DIS. Once I contacted the person listed on the paperwork I found out it was from Alamo. I entered one entry on-line when I set up our car rental for a DL trip a few months earlier.
After finding DIS and planning our WDW trip in 2005 we decided to become DVC members. The info on DIS has been so helpful over the last few years.
How often do you visit the DIS?
It's turned into a daily habit.
Have you ever met anyone from the DIS? Who was the first person you met. Have you ever been to a DIS Meet?
No, but I try to keep my eyes out for LGMH.
Tell us a moment that sticks out in your mind - funny, embarrassing, or touching - at Disneyland.
We have too many over the years, but I really enjoyed taking my DH grandmother on her first trip to DL (1984) when she was 80. She enjoyed the character interaction so much and they really hammed it up for her.
In just 10 days I'll introduce my DGS to DL. I can't wait!
Tell us a little bit about you.
DH & I have been happily married for 29 years, have two grown children, DD 25, DS 22, both are married and we have a wonderful DGS to spoil rotten. Thank goodness our DSIL and DDIL both love Disney too. We try to get a couple of family vacation in each year, one camping and the other is usually Disney.
Do you have any pictures you'd like to share with us?
No, I'm technically challenged when it comes to adding pics on DIS.
Add whatever you'd like.
You may need to send some pixie dust that my extended family doesn't drive me crazy before our Nov trip to WDW as they don't want to help too much in the planning and we have 22 of us
on the Wonder, Nov 15th, all first time cruisers. 
I'm not too sure...I've heard my parents and both sets of grandparents started taking me when I was very young so probably the mid-late 60s.
When was the last time you visited Disneyland?
Last trip was Sept 2008.
How often do you visit Disneyland?
When our kids were growing up we'd go once a year or every two years. Lately it's been a couple of trip a year.
Are you a local, within 2-3 hour drive to Disneyland? Or a non-local?
Non-Local, it's a 6-8 hour drive depending on traffic, so we usually fly (Gotta love those SWA Ding fares).
For the non-locals, how long do you stay?
3 - 5 nights depending on how large our group is and who's traveling with us.

Oh, and my ethnicity is all mixed up. I'm 1/2 Chinese, 1/4 Mexican, and 1/4 Irish. I'm like EPCOT's World Showcase if it were a person.
LOL, this reminded me of my 8 yr old niece's comment last week...she was asking me what I was made of and I told her half Portuguese and half Heinz 57 (meaning a little of everything) and then she wanted to know if her Mom (my sister, same parents as me) was Portuguese too.
I love your EPCOT description!

Azorean grandfather, Chihuahuense grandmother and my father is a mix of Irish, Welsh, English, and probably German, Scottish, and French. His Rambo line was from Norway, lol.

I am a mixture alright. Nice to meet someone with Portuguese in them.
Here I am. Yes as is rumored I broke the camera again. Disboards is the only site that I have allowed to post full face images of myself and then I allowed SGT to have a look. Long tie on the internet and no pictures, EVER but for a nice bunch of people I will share.

When was the first time you visited Disneyland?
July 4th weekend of 2003. It was busy and hot but so worth it. My first time there was also my (now oldest) daughter's first trip as well.
When was the last time you visited Disneyland?
March 2009 for the DIS Board Divas trip
How often do you visit Disneyland?
At least once a year (wish I could go monthly)
Are you a local, within 2-3 hour drive to Disneyland? Or a non-local?
I'm about 3 hours from there but I don't think that's local. I'm a rope drop and close the park kind of person.

3 days is preferred but even 1 day in Disneyland is a great day.

Disneyland
When was the first time you came to the DIS, why did you come to the DIS, and how did you find the DIS?
I did a google search when we were planning our first (and only) trip to WDW.
How often do you visit the DIS?
Daily...okay...several times a day
Have you ever met anyone from the DIS? Who was the first person you met.
Yes. I've been on 2 of the DIS Board Diva trips and am planning on going next year too. I think GrumpyVet (AmySue) was the first person I met in front of the Jazz Kitchen in Downtown Disney.
Have you ever been to a DIS Meet?
Yep. See above

On the last Diva trip a group of us all were sitting in front of the castle waiting for the fireworks a little girl was sitting next to us with her dad. She noticed our glowstick bracelets and took a liking to us and more importantly (to her) the glow sticks. She was very sweet and polite. I think by the time the fireworks were over all of us Divas had given her a bracelet in every color.

When was the first time you visited Disneyland?
I really don't know. I know I was at WDW when I was 6 months old for sure, but DL isn't as exact. I know I as little though.
When was the last time you visited Disneyland?
I was there just a couple of weeks ago, March 27 through the 30.
How often do you visit Disneyland?
As often as money/work allows me to. If all goes well I would love to make it an annual vacation.
Are you a local, within 2-3 hour drive to Disneyland? Or a non-local?
Unfortunately I'm not local, but it could be worse. Depending on who is driving and when we leave we're about 6 hours away.
Do you visit Disneyland more often or Walt Disney World more often?
DL for sure. I have only been to WDW once and I was too young to remember any of it.
When was the first time you came to the DIS, why did you come to the DIS, and how did you find the DIS?
I don't even remember exactly how I came across this wonderful place, but I know I was doing a google search and it brought me here. This was back in 2007 right after I got back from my early birthday DL trip. This board has been much needed since nobody I know except maybe one person can tolerate my Disney-nature.
How often do you visit the DIS?
Every day, multiple times a day. I would probably be on every hour if I could swing it.
Have you ever met anyone from the DIS? Who was the first person you met. Have you ever been to a DIS Meet?
We met up with wvnative while we were there last month! I wish I could do an actual DIS meet but I doubt I'll ever be able to on the dates that are chosen. It will have to be more spur of the moment who's there when I'm there kind of thing like it worked out with wvnative,
Tell us a moment that sticks out in your mind - funny, embarrassing, or touching - at Disneyland.
The first time that I ever got to see Snow White back before they did the PFF, at Snow White's Grotto was like - the best moment of my life. My eyes popped out of their sockets and I practically ran my way over there. Snow White has always been and will always be my favorite. But really, I get goosebumps anytime I step foot onto park grounds.
Tell us a little bit about you.
I'm 22 years old, trying to work my way through school which has been a lot harder than it looks. Despite a family that hates Disney it's always been one of my two big passions (the other being hockey, nd you can throw photography in there as well).
Do you have any pictures you'd like to share with us?
Haha, I have so many pictures it's a nightmare. But I do have a few recent ones of myself that are done (not all yet, sadly) from our trip last month!

- When was the first time you visited Disneyland?When I was 2. We went many times until about age 6. Then I didn't go again until age 14. After that I didn't return until our honeymoon in 1990. Then I didn't return again until October of 1997 w/ DS who was then 8. We went to WDW in Summer of 2001. Then in 2002 we went to our first DL Holidays trip. After that Dec 2002 trip, we were hooked and have been back every year since for DLR Holidays, either in December or January. We also went a couple of years in October.
- When was the last time you visited Disneyland?January 2009 for the Holidays.
- How often do you visit Disneyland?Once a year on average. A couple of times we went for short trips in October. This year we bought APs so we are making our 2nd trip in June!
- Are you a local, within 2-3 hour drive to Disneyland? Or a non-local?Non local
- For the non-locals, how long do you stay?We aim for 5 days.
- Do you visit Disneyland more often or Walt Disney World more often?Disneyland!
- When was the first time you came to the DIS, why did you come to the DIS, and how did you find the DIS?I think I first checked out the Dis when I was planning a DL trip in around 2003-2004 as a lurker. At that time, there wasn't as much info on it as there is now. So I moved on over to Laughing Place. Was quite comfortable there. Then the people that own those boards moved to WDW and the info on DL boards started to move slower. So I came back and looked around here as I often did, enjoyed it and decided to join. I signed up in 2007, but I was lurking for several years before that.
- How often do you visit the DIS?Daily unless life gets in the way.
- Have you ever met anyone from the DIS? Who was the first person you met. Have you ever been to a DIS Meet?No, and No.
- Tell us a moment that sticks out in your mind - funny, embarrassing, or touching - at Disneyland.I remember the first time we went to DLR for the Holiday layover in 2002 during the fireworks show. It was just DS 13 and I. My DH wasn't with us. I think he had gone to L.A. on some business. We were so both so overwhelmed and touched by the entire show, the music (Kelly Coffee is awesome on Remember Xmas Magic --or whatever they call it I know the original was Brian McKnight -- and White Xmas). The fireworks alone had us both teary eyed. Then when KC started singing White Xmas and the snow started falling on Main Street we both started tearing up. It was pure magic! And we've been back every year ever since. In 2007 we took my then 91 year old grandma with us and she loved it too! Those are fond memories I'll always treasure.
- Tell us a little bit about you.Not much to tell. I come from a small town where everybody knows everybody or they know someone who knows everybody
and am a little paranoid about internet security, so that's why I never post my personal info, pictures or anything like that about myself on the web. It's not that I don't trust Dis'ers, it's that I don't trust the weirdos that exist out there who could be lurking or worse. I give you all credit who do, though!
My DH and I own a pretty successful (knock wood in this economy) small business. I also work, and am a middle manager for an entertainment company. We have one child, DS who is now 19!Where did all the time go? We are a very tight close knit family. Because I am fortunate enough to have a flexible schedule at work I've been a very hands on parent, and slightly overprotective much to his chagrine. - Do you have any pictures you'd like to share with us?Sorry, none due to my internet security paranoia. But I have quite a few pictures posted on the DL POTD and the Holidays and Night time and Fireworks thread.
- Add whatever you'd like.I really enjoy hanging out here with you all. I hope you don't mind my paranoia about 'net security, and hope we all can be cyber friends without having to know what each other looks like. That's also partly why I've never participated in a Dis meet. I'm a 'fraidy cat who enjoys reading the boards, but also enjoys and protects her privacy.
I come here to find my laughing place when I am not able to go to DL, it really helps me to stay in touch with that inner child and happiness. Oh yeah, and my screen name is actually a play on words. Some people have thought that I am a Disney Suite Freak so I would know a lot about the DLR Suites.
Actually, I am a Disney Sweet Freak. I just wanted something a little different. Love the Churros and the Brownie Funnel Cake (even though I shouldn't be eating them!) OMG! Sooooo good!

When our son (3 1/2 at the time) fell over backwards in a chair at Plaza, he was fine. He came up laughing, because Tigger, Pooh and Eyeor rushed to his aid before we could get out of my chair. Know when ever he rocks in a chair we tell him Tigger is not here to pick you up and he stops. He is know almost 6.
I hate writing about my self. I am addicted to all things Disney. Currently planning our family reunion trip for this June and loving sharing my addiction with the rest of my family.
