    I think I’ve been here long enough to have finally figured this out… :)
    My name is Carly Frost. Born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska by a single mom with 4 kids, so I didn’t get to experience Disney World until I met my boyfriend (now husband) when I was 23. His family enjoyed trips to Disney World about every 3 years, so I guess I married into a good family! :) Our first trip was in 2005-2006 right after Christmas into New Year’s. We’ve been 4 more times since then, planning a trip about every 2-3 years, so I’ve become the Disney World know-it-all to my friends and family. I’ve helped plan several trips for them. Our last trip about a year ago included our 3 year old son, Dax for the first time, and sadly, we’re not scheduled to go back until 2019. I am also a HUGE Harry Potter nerd, so when we go to Orlando we always make time to head over to that other park for a few days to drink my weight in butterbeer…but I even it out by then drinking my weight in Dole Whip floats!

    You sound like my kind of people! And hey, even a far off Disney trip is still better than no Disney trip. Get that countdown going, girl! And welcome !

    Welcome Carly! Yes, a countdown is better than no countdown at all. I know that every 3 years or so, did that so much when our daughter was younger.

    Welcome Carly! :ears: glad to see another Universal fan too :smirk: I’m with everyone else, a trip is still a trip! When I was growing up we would go to WDW every year because my parents owned DVC. As an adult, my trips have shifted to every other year at best, so I understand.

    In 2004 I split time between Mission Space in the after ride game there called Mission Space Race and Innoventions. There was a tree game in Innoventions I presented. I went back in 2006 and worked in the Epcot parking lot driving the tram, assisting with parking cars. I loved working in the parking lot.

    @carlyfrost Welcome!


    @unklecleetus
    Cool! When I think of Cast Members I don’t often think of the ones working the parking lots, and definitely wouldn’t think of it being as enjoyable as other things inside the parks, but glad you enjoyed it! :)

    @unklecleetus I would definitely enjoy driving the trams! (Or the monorail @sej101!) Always thought it would be cool to work with the draft horses or the WDWRR, too! Met a CM who worked the riverboat, oiling the steam engines and monitoring the boiler. That was most of what I spent my boat ride doing — watching the engines!

    Hi!

    My name is Bob. I live in Long Beach, MS on the Gulf Coast.

    My family and I are Disney fanatics and have been to WDW 5 times as a family while my wife and I have been a total of 7 times.

    I own the WDW Pensieve podcast (www.wdwpensieve.com) and my wife owns/runs Mad Hatter Radio (www.madhatterradio.net).

    Our plans are to retire to Orlando and get jobs at WDW. And maybe become certified BBQ judges to have a side hustle.

    We love Disney and Disney music & audio of all kinds!

    Glad to find a place with similar people!

    Welcome @robertlc ! I’ve been to Long Beach before, helping folks recover from Katrina. Also got to enjoy a nice meal at Darwell’s while there.
