    So glad to find other Disney fans on here! I'm currently training for the WDW half marathon in 2013. It will be my 2nd time running it, but I haven't run it (or any other race) since 2005 and I've gained a lot of weight since then. Hoping to find inspiration here!

    My Disney stats include being a college program alumni ('02), a Disney bride ('09), and the editor of The Disney Wedding Blog, The Disney Baby Blog, and a handful of others.

    Hey I'm Sarah!

    I have been on MFP for a while and never thought to look for other Disney fans! I am training for the Disney Marathon for 2013. I have been to Walt Disney World over 20 times in my life and was recently married there on 9/17/11.

    Anyone else running there half or full in January? It is my first time.

    I'm a big Disney fan! Had been there twice before moving to the Tampa area, and since have been there numerous times. I love Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party and plan on going 2 or 3 times next Christmas season!

    Hi!!!

    My name is Debra, I have been to WDW twice, in 2007 with my mom for Christmas and again in 2009 for Halloween. I hope to return again this December.

    I joined the site a day or so ago after a wake up call of being put on high blood pressure meds related to my weight. So I am on a mission to head to the World this Christmas a whole new, healthy me! :)

    Pixie Dust to everyone here!!!!!! :)

    Hi I'm Liz

    I have been to Disney World a few times. When I was 5, 8 and then 18. Then most recently I went Thanksgiving of 2010, April of 2011 and Thanksgiving of 2011. I love the place and everything about it. I do have to say my favorite time to go is around Christmas to see all the decorations :) I also went to Disneyland when I was 12 but I don't remember much about it.

    Hello all!

    I've been going to Disney World since I was a wee little baby. I have a picture of my mother and myself on the carousel in the Magic Kingdom when I was a little over a year old. I have children of my own now, and I have a picture of myself and my son on the carousel as well!

    I'm determined to lose weight before my next trip (Dec of this year) and gain some lasting leg power for all the walking/dashing I expect to do.

    Hope everyone is well!

    -Janet

    Hello, I am an official Disneyholic :).

    I am addicted to trip reviews, to Disney reviews, and to knowing everything I can about the parks.

    Me, too! I'm a member of the Dis (www.disboards.com) and I just love reading peoples' trip reports, looking at Disney food porn, etc. My hubby and I had our disneymoon (honeymoon ;] ) at DW in Feb this year. We are going again this year the first week of December. I had been looking at so many DW Christmas photos people have taken and it made me want to go back so bad and during Christmas time because the decorations look beautiful! We've never been to DW for the Christmas holidays, so we are so excited! 99 days to go!!!

    And don't forget to get tickets to MVMCP (Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party). Go to Candlelight Processional at Epcot and see the Osborne Lights at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Just a few of the highlights. The lobby of Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa is also transformed to a holiday spectacular. I'd better stop before I get too excited myself!!

    Shouldn't be terribly hard to go easy on the candy. In the past couple of times I've gone for the Halloween Party, I've noticed a distinct lack of high quality candies.

    Did anyone else feel the same way?

    My husband, daughter, and I have been to the World 4 times. In July 2004, we flew from NY and stayed at Disney's Caribbean when my daughter was 7 years old. We travelled by train (never again!) in February 2006 and stayed at the All Star Music. We drove down in December 2008, and arrived back at the All Star Music on Christmas Eve...best Christmas and New Year's Eve ever!!! It was the last Christmas that my daughter believed in Santa, which made it all the more special. In August 2011, we drove and stayed at Disney's Beach Club and then visited Universal to see Harry Potter. We originally planned to stay at Disney's Polynesian in August 2013, but since we need to save for my daughter's Sweet 16 extravaganza, we will go to Cape Cod instead and save Disney World for sometime in 2014.

    I never wanted to go to Disney, but decided to take my daughter the first time just so she would have the experience. I had no idea that I would become so enchanted by the World. I have a friend (without kids) who goes several times during the year. If I had the money, I would do the same. Oh well.........

    Just joined.

    Hello, I'm Amanda. I live in Florida just an hour or so away from WDW. I started visiting the World when I was about 2-years-old and been going nearly every year since. I'm currently an AP holder and have a trip scheduled over there this December. My favorite park is Epcot, through I miss the old-style 90s Epcot when Horizons and World of Motion were still there, Figment had Dreamfinder instead of Dr. Nigel Channing, the Living Seas had an actual storyline and Walter Cronkite and later Jeremy Irons narrated Spaceship Earth instead of Judy Dench. Favorite attraction overall is Haunted Mansion and Splash Mountain. I'd have to say my favorite sit-down restaurant is Narcoossee's and would probably place Flame Tree BBQ has my favorite counter service. I also enjoy Disney Cruise Line and have been on four cruises to date.

    My name is Melissa. I live in Jacksonville (about 2.5 hours from Disney) I am an Annual Passholder and go 2-3 times a month. My favorite park will always be Magic Kingdom. I could just sit there and people/castle watch all day :) I was lucky enough to get a tour of Cinderella's Castle Suite last month (you can find photos on my instagram, user name: Disneymagicandmemories)
