Hi there!

Just wanted to say thank you for all the wonderful information found here and on the website in general. This will be my first ever trip to Disney World (in about a month) and I am more excited than a 4 year old! (cough, cough....I'm just a tad bit older, like by 40 years....).

My family had a trip planned when I was 8 to go, but my Father had a tragic accident and ended up in the hospital for weeks, which cancelled our trip. After that, we went places but never planned another trip there (don't really know why). I am a Disney freak, so this will be a trip of a lifetime for me!

Hello VelcroPooh and welcome to WDWFG. So glad you found us and even happier that you thought enough of our little group to join us. Please feel free to tell us more about your planned trip and ask away if you have any question you want to ask. Someone here will have (or get) the info you need.

Well hello, hello, hello and welcome stars stars stars to

WDWForGrownups!

We are all about Disney here and hopefully you're going to love it there! Immerse yourself, but take time to "smell the roses". So what plans do you have set? Have any ADR's planned? We love to talk food here.

VelcroPooh

Thank you. I only know about one, which is Cinderella's Castle, we're having lunch there our first day. I know we have at least two more booked, but hubby is keeping them secret...the dog.

We will be there 6 days, 7 nights and we're staying at Port Orleans, Riverside and I know we are attending MNSSHP. Other than that, we are pretty much spontaneous about things. We've made some FastPass+ reservations and picked the big crowded rides and ordered our MagicBands. Looking so forward to MNSSHP and the Food and Wine Festival.

Welcome VelcroPooh, hope your hubby has booked Crystal Palace, it is a great place to meet Pooh and friends. We ate there last year and I wasn't at the table when Pooh came round so my DH asked if they would come back and they did! Your avatar is cool, I love the pumpkin and outfit. yay

Welcome! You're going to love POR - it's my favourite place to stay. There's nothing better than going to WDW as an adult - I'm sure you will have a ton of fun.

Welcome! So glad you're here.

And, by the way, it doesn't matter how many trips you make to WDW. If you get bitten by the bug, you'll ALWAYS feel like a giddy 4 year old when you're getting ready to go.

Isn't it grand?!!!

yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay

Welcome and congrats on the upcoming trip! Fall is my favorite time to visit the world! I think you're going to love it!

Thank you all. He's being secretive and said he wants to surprise me with a couple of things, so I'll keep my fingers crossed on the Crystal Palace!

He's great. He knew the story of why I never got to go, and so when we were dating he promised that some day he would take me there. So about 6 months ago, he announced we were going this year! Bless his heart...he's such a sweetheart.

Halloween and Christmas are my favorite times of the year, so super stoked to see all the Halloween decorations.

Hi and welcome and congrats on your first trip! Sounds like it's been a long time coming! Is this your hubby's first trip as well?

VelcroPooh

You guys are all so welcoming! Thank you very much.

Oh I am so excited about a bunch of things! But if I had to pick one, I really am so excited about MNSSHP. I really do love Halloween and when I was a child, I loved dressing up! I have not dressed up in years and went trick-or-treating. So as silly as that sounds, I think that will be the highlight of the trip for me.

Hubby has been before. Three times. Once as a child and in his "previous situation" (that's what we call our first marriages) he had been twice, taking his daughter. He's not been as an adult only.

Welcome, VelcroPooh!

I've GOT to know how you picked that name...it's great! Is it because you're stuck on Pooh Bear??

MNSSHP is SOooo much fun!!

What a GREAT time of year to go!!

VelcroPooh

Yes, Pooh is my favorite all time childhood friend. Hubby nicknamed me Pooh because I am always picking up and playing with anything Pooh.

The Velcro is a long story. Short version: I was married for 21 years the first time and it ended badly. While dating my now hubby, I was terrified of any type of relationship. He was fishing one night for how I felt about him, literally fishing for the "I Love You". I panicked and blurted out "I Velcro You!"

He was confused so I told him I was stuck on him. At our wedding, unbeknownst to us, at the end, the Minister pulled out two sides of Velcro with our names on them (he had heard the story) and had us stick them together saying "What God has put together, let no man pull apart".

So we always say "I Velcro You". So for me, the name translates to "Love Pooh".

I will do my best to do one when I get back. I'm a photo fanatic and we ordered the photo pass+ as well. One of mine and DHs rules are no electronics on vacation...Lol. We both spend hours on our phones, emails, iPads, etc for work, so we really try to leave it all behind on vacation. We will have our phones for the apps and emergencies, but no playing on computers...ha ha. I will try to remember the gist of our days, and post when we get back.

Welcome - Nothing wrong with being excited. As one of the Cast Members told me as I was making my reservations, Children at Disney World come in two categories, 3-9 and 10 and up!! clapping

Also, the velcro story at the wedding teared me up. How wonderfully romantic!! Enjoy your trip!!
