pixiewing71 and I have seen each other at our kids middle school. Small World and all that.


Tell us a moment that sticks out in your mind - funny, embarrassing, or touching - at Disneyland.

When we went in 2003 my siz year old son was melting down towards the end of the day Minnie Mouse spotted him crying and came over and wiped his tears and kissed him on top of his head. That made a day that was quickly turning disasterous day into a great one.

I am Michele. I am married to a mostly wonderful bicycling fool type of guy. We have three kids DD Kacy age 16, DD Kody, age 14 and DD Loren age 12.

No, but I may add some another time.

Add whatever you'd like.

I can think of nothing other than I am very happy I bought the Passporter because had I not I wouldn't have found my way here.

3. How often do you visit Disneyland?
We call this my "year of a million Disney dreams" with trips in Dec. 08, WDW in Jan 09, DL in April 09 and again in Dec 09. We're looking at going consistently to one park or the other every year to 18 months in the future.

I'm from Seattle.

I like 4 days in the parks.

DL 6 times, WDW 3 times.
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?
It was mentioned in the Unofficial Guide, so I found it while planning our August 08 WDW trip and I've been lurking and posting very infrequently ever since. But I've learned a ton!
8. How often do you visit the DIS?
Almost everyday.
9. Have you ever met anyone from the DIS? Who was the first person you met. Have you ever been to a DIS Meet?
Not yet!
10. Tell us a moment that sticks out in your mind - funny, embarrassing, or touching - at Disneyland.
In 89 when my dad got on Star Tours and thought the CM was joking about putting seat belts on (he couldn't imagine a ride that would require a seatbelt that wasn't a roller coaster). He relented and understood pretty quickly why he needed to use it though. Oh, and when we were in DL Paris in 94 and the CM at the podium of a restaurant said "What language do you speak?" And my Dad said "American." Oy!
11. Tell us a little bit about you.
I'm in my 7th year of teaching first grade, have a very cute basset hound named Lucy who wears a Mickey Mouse collar, and have the best husband in the world who is learning to love Disney as much as I do, slowly but surely!
12. Do you have any pictures you'd like to share with us?
