It's a small world, now that song is stuck la la lala la la la. :lol: It was one each in the footy so will be fine at work:thumbs:

Ask away if you want any advice on the parks every one is really friendly and helpful.

And yep you need to "woman up" and hit those rides:P

It really is!! Aha I don mind having that song stuck in my head tends to go after a while! Lol and I quite like the Paris version of the ride!

That's all good then there's usually a good bit of banter before any Forest vs derby games!

Thanks seems very friendly from what I've seen(well read!) which is why I signed up and came out of lurking! Lol

Think the rip or whatever the music one in UNI is called (not very good at remembering ride names) going to be one I will be missing!

Hi everyone, I've been a lurker for a few months, but after reading this thread I was encouraged to join :) I'm a member of wdw magic but I rarely post there, as there is a lot of negativity and despite trying, it's very hard to feel part of the community, they're very clicky, has anyone found that?
Anyway, I live in the UK so I don't get to visit Orlando as much as I'd like, but I'm only 20 so I'm sure once I'm earning money I can fly across every year :)

@roodlesnouter: haha love the emote, describes them perfectly :D I guessed that from your Sig, I went there last August in the pouring rain, longest edit was 2 hours for Rita 0_0 you'd think the rain would deter people from going...

been lurking around for a few months (sounds a bit stalkerish! lol) and finally decided to join... i'm from East Midlands in the UK so spend most my theme park time at Alton Towers... if i had the money i would def do UNI/WDW more (only been once in 04)... going for a trip in september this year sooo excited, but also slightly gutted that harry potter part two will be done after wards :( but transformers should be open so i guess i can't complain tooo much!
Click to expand...

Another Alton Towers regular?! I expect many opening day reports from SW7 :lol: Welcome though and for those who don't know my Moms entire side is from England and we actually all have dual citizenship. Which is crazy because I've never been. My sister however will be teaching at Cambridge next semester and my Mom and other sister will be in England for six weeks this Spring.

Welcome! We're very open here and try not to seem negative. I myself am a smarty so to some I may appear rude but I can assure I'm not. I just have a messed up sense of humor is all. Please enjoy yourself and join in.

Thank you! :) I have learned from my lurking that you are one to trust and are very informed. I read earlier that you started from nothing and now have all sorts of contacts. How on earth did you manage that? I would love to be able to do what you've done, but sadly I'm in the UK, and so no networking for me - not until I move to the US ;)

Click to expand...
Yep! I'm an annual pass holder to Universal and the Disney water parks, as well as Sea World this year. I've been a Uni pass holder since 2002-2003, and I switch off every year between Busch Gardens and Sea World.

While I love the Disney parks too, their passes are really expensive.

I'm not a frequent update provider for obvious reasons, but it's always interesting to learn about everyone's unique locations.

17,966km. 360 hours (according to google maps). Across the planet. Okinawa, Japan. :lol:
