*** Breaking news ***
We have made the difficult but responsible decision to have a local wedding instead of Disney. For those who are interested, there's more information in my final post... Adulting is hard
With the encouragement of some fellow DISers, I have decided to go ahead and start a PTR for our upcoming trip to WDW. Without further ado... introductions!
Here we are at Disney on Ice over the weekend.

I'm zanzibar. 40 years old and a lifetime Disney nerd. Had my first trip to DLR about a decade ago, which began a period of annual Disney travel for a number of years. I've been lucky enough to visit DLR and HKDL a number of times, DLP and even made it to opening day at SDL! Then life happened, as it does. I suddenly found myself single and focusing on rebuilding my life, then of course COVID got in the way of everything. After everything, I decided to move back across the country to be with my family, a move which has set me on a wonderful path!
Enter B. We met at a ballroom dancing class and the rest, as they say, is history! B is 46 and has only been to DLR once for a few hours on a boys trip to the US. They rode a grand total of one ride - Splash Mountain. He is in for quite the shock doing Disney with me![Face with tears of joy :joy: 😂](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f602.png)
We live in Perth, on the west coast of Australia (about as far away from WDW as you can get
) and have 2 fur kids - Evie (the Kelpie x) and Sabah (the German Shepherd).

Although there has been no official proposal yet, B and I have been talking about getting married since about a week into our relationship
It was B's suggestion to start looking into Disney weddings - he's just as much into the fairytale idea as I am! We have decided on a WDW wedding. We'll make it a WDW vacation with the friends and family who are able to join us, and sneak in a mini honeymoon on the way home.
As of now, we are looking at a February 2025 wedding.
