Belle is my DBF's fave princess as well. So much so that one time we were coming out of the sorcerer's workshop, and as we were walking down the hall, Belle was walking straight at us. He then proceeded to push me into the drinking fountain vestibule so it appeared that he was solo. Boys
1.When was the first time you visited Disneyland?
I didnt visit DL till I was 15 it was right when California Adventure opened, so its always kind of been there for me crazy, right? I went with my aunt and her family (3 little kids) to help out. It was great to be able to go, but I dont remember much of that trip I was busy!
2.When was the last time you visited Disneyland?
Ive only been twice so far the LAST time I went to DL was last year, for a week in September. I went with my best friend, and it was our first grown-up vacation that we paid for and planned ourselves, yeah!
It was so fun now were hooked!
3.How often do you visit Disneyland?
Well, like I said, Ive only been twice, but I hope to visit every year now perhaps more if I can manage it. Ive been bitten, hard.
Were definitely going again in September, and I have this tentative idea to make a short visit in December with my sister as well. Might as well get APs, mm? Then who knows what will happen!! 
4.Are you a local, within 2-3 hour drive to Disneyland? Or a non-local?
Non-local. But not too far, really. Seattle, baby! If you keep a weather eye open you can find fantastic deals on Virgin America and JetBlue (weve only flown Virgin so far and its great! Love it)
5.For the non-locals, how long do you stay?
Staying 6 days last time was good for us. I need that long of a vacation! And if its affordable (and if youre only paying for yourself, it is), then why not? More is better I am an American! (Which means were adding another day this time, woohoo!)
6.Do you visit Disneyland more often or Walt Disney World more often?
Ive been to WDW more 3 times. Each time was only for a few days, and I was 5 and 8 for the first two (last time I was 16). It is super fun to do anything Disney, but for right now Disneyland is right for me and has more appeal. Its just the right size for two west coast buddies on their own and the right price, too.
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?
I was planning for my trip last year, and searched online for Disneyland tips It was SO helpful; I feel like I know so much now I try to help people I know with DL knowledge, haha!
8.How often do you visit the DIS?
Usually every day I dont post a lot, but I read a lot! After my last trip I didnt come on for a while, though, because I was sad about coming back, lol.
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.
For WDW My first trip was when I was 4, with my parents and my aunt (who also loves Disney!). Late 80s. My aunt and I spent a lot of time hanging out together while my parents did the big rides, and we took in a show. I dont really remember the show, but I know it was kind of a party theme and there were princesses and characters anyone remember? As soon as it ended my aunt and I looked at each other and she said, that was awesome! and I said, yeah! and then we both said lets see it again! And we did, haha! Fun times.
For DL the entire trip was fantastic. Meeting and watching Mary Poppins was great for me, since it was one of my VERY favorites when I was little. That, and Cinderella! We met her, too, and both meetings were the perfect kind a total excited surprise! Mary Poppins & Bert were hanging out at Coke Corner, and it was a complete gasp and speed walk moment, haha! And Cinderella was the last princess we saw at the PFF we knew who the first two were going to be, but she was the last surprise, yay!
Also, a story Ive heard all my life:
My mom grew up in California, so they went many times through the years. She and my aunts say that whenever they would ride Pirates, their mom would always say as they floated past the Blue Bayou, wave to the rich people ! and they would, lol. She passed away before I was born, so its just something Ive always heard about her. It was neat to actually go there myself (for dessert only, ha!), and I would LOVE to take my mom there someday.
11.Tell us a little bit about you.
Um, well, Im a full time student and I work part time at a local theater I love my job! I have always liked Disney, but I feel like Im in some kind of reverse childhood, because now I LOVE it! I have Disney posters, a calendar, and a map up in my room alongside my Amelie and Kill Bill posters. 
I sing, cook, read, and laugh!
12.Do you have any pictures you'd like to share with us?
This one is fun!
13.Add whatever you'd like.
Aw, Im good!

When was the first time you visited Disneyland?
I grew up in Southern CA (Ontario) so we started going to Disneyland when I was little, not sure how young.
When was the last time you visited Disneyland?
March of this year for a quick Spring Break trip!
How often do you visit Disneyland?
At least once a year. We got our first APs in January and have been 2 times already and have 2 more trips planned.
Are you a local, within 2-3 hour drive to Disneyland? Or a non-local?
Non-local. 6 hour drive from Phoenix.
For the non-locals, how long do you stay?
When we didn't have APs, at least 3 days. With APs, at least 2!
Do you visit Disneyland more often or Walt Disney World more often?
Disneyland
When was the first time you came to the DIS, why did you come to the DIS, and how did you find the DIS?
I don't remember how I found it. Probably googling Disney info. I came to the DIS looking for advice on when to take my trip. I remember that Mary Jo was one of the first to respond and give her advice!
How often do you visit the DIS?
Usually every day.
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, but I would love too!
Tell us a moment that sticks out in your mind - funny, embarrassing, or touching - at Disneyland.
Watching my daughters have the time of their lives, while I am too! Watching DD2 point out the rides and asking to go back to the "Tiki Yoom".
Tell us a little bit about you.
I am 33 years old and live in Phoenix with my wonderful DH and our daughters, ages 7 and 2. I am lucky enough to get to be a SAHM and work from home part time. I have always liked Disneyland, but just in the past 5 years has my obsession taken over!
Do you have any pictures you'd like to share with us?
This is me and DD2 on our last trip waiting in line for the Matterhorn (which she talks about daily now -- wanting to go back on it!)
Add whatever you'd like.
Great thread idea Mary Jo! I like reading about everyone and putting a face to the name!

When was the first time you visited Disneyland? My first trip to Disneyland was with my parents when I was 8 years old (almost 9). It was during 1976 and I was SO excited. I had heard about it for years from my parents and my dad worked off and on in LA and so my mom and I drove our old 60's pickup down from up in Northern CAL with my old Bugs Bunny AM radio for a 8 hour drive and I was awe struck! I remember being terrified of the haunted mansion and amazed by the whole place. It was during the Bicentennial and they had the parade then. It was just awesome!

When was the last time you visited Disneyland? Last week!

6.

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? I belonged to another Disney site first and then someone told me about this site and I happened to be planning my 2nd Walt Disney World trip and I used the Disney World portion of the board a LOT for my 05 trip first. That is when I came here was in 05. I stuck MAINLY to that portion of the boards and then right after I went to the Disneyland boards and have been there ever since going back to the DW section only for my 08 trip.
8.
How often do you visit the DIS? Everyday, several times a day!

Tell us a moment that sticks out in your mind - funny, embarrassing, or touching - at Disneyland. The only thing that comes to mind is the first time I saw the Remember fireworks and how they made me cry. They are THE best fireworks ever! Hearing Julie Andrews and Walt Disney speak! To this day it chokes me up! Also Some of the other fireworks and castle shows and when it snows. All those special moments. Candelight Procession also was amazing and beautiful!!!

- Tell us a moment that sticks out in your mind - funny, embarrassing, or touching - at Disneyland. One of the funnest times we had at DL was when it was lightly raining and a little bit cold. People were clearing out of the park and we just threw on some plastic poncho's and ignored the rain, riding everything over and over until midnight. One of the best trips ever.
- Tell us a little bit about you. Born and raised in Nebraska. Lived in Kansas City for a few years and moved to Dallas about 16 years ago. I'm a portrait and graphite/charcoal artist when I'm not working 8-5. I also play the piano.
- Do you have any pictures you'd like to share with us? I have tons of pictures over on my flickr account. Here's our latest trip during December of last year.
- Add whatever you'd like. Going to Disneyland for me is like the only place where I put every single trouble, fear, problem behind me and get to forget it all and be a kid again for a few days.

When was the first time you visited Disneyland?
Summer of 1977, I was 8 years old. We lived in CO, and my mother met a guy who lived in CA through a dating service. We went to DL on one of their "dates". They still used the A-E tickets then, and I clearly remember that I didn't get to go on Pirates, but Space Mountain was the newest attraction and the wait for it was long. I got lost after the Electric Parade and waited for my mom at City Hall (where they told us to meet if we got lost), but they decided to look all over the park for me first.
When was the last time you visited Disneyland?
I was there with the DIS Divas last month! (March '09)
How often do you visit Disneyland?
We have been a lot as a family since the 50th (check out my siggie blow). We are currently taking a break from DLR until DCA is complete in 2012.
Are you a local, within 2-3 hour drive to Disneyland? Or a non-local?
Non-local. I live in Phoenix.
For the non-locals, how long do you stay?
3 days in the parks is just right for our family.
Do you visit Disneyland more often or Walt Disney World more often?
Disneyland only. Never been to WDW. Don't know if I ever will go to WDW.
When was the first time you came to the DIS, why did you come to the DIS, and how did you find the DIS?
I can't remember exactly when I came over to the Dis, but I started at MousePlanet, and then wandered over here and stayed because the Dis seems much friendlier and moves a bit faster.
How often do you visit the DIS?
Daily.
Have you ever met anyone from the DIS? Who was the first person you met. Have you ever been to a DIS Meet?
I have met many people from the Dis. The first person I met was StacieLee on our way to the Dis Divas FIRST get together in 2008. I've been to a few mini-meets inbetween, but the big meets have been with the Divas in 2008 and 2009.

Do you visit Disneyland more often or Walt Disney World more often?
Disneyland only. Never been to WDW. Don't know if I ever will go to WDW.
When was the first time you came to the DIS, why did you come to the DIS, and how did you find the DIS?
I can't remember exactly when I came over to the Dis, but I started at MousePlanet, and then wandered over here and stayed because the Dis seems much friendlier and moves a bit faster.
How often do you visit the DIS?
Daily.
Have you ever met anyone from the DIS? Who was the first person you met. Have you ever been to a DIS Meet?
I have met many people from the Dis. The first person I met was StacieLee on our way to the Dis Divas FIRST get together in 2008. I've been to a few mini-meets inbetween, but the big meets have been with the Divas in 2008 and 2009.

Yeah, that was awesome. I remember them telling us how there was random firework shrapnel lying around backstage and not to touch anything. Man, it was so fun too, because we got to do a studio recording of Fantasmic, and they sent us a video of the show with us playing the music.
Haha. That's all I can say.

When was the first time you visited Disneyland?
April 2003
When was the last time you visited Disneyland?
July 2008
How often do you visit Disneyland?
Not as often as I would like!
Are you a local, within 2-3 hour drive to Disneyland? Or a non-local?
I'm a non-local from oregon.
For the non-locals, how long do you stay?
3 to 5 days
Do you visit Disneyland more often or Walt Disney World more often?
I grew up in the mid-west and had grandparents in Tampa so we went to WDW every winter break for many years. But I haven't been there since about 1981. I've been to Disneyland twice and hope to be back in the summer of 2010.
When was the first time you came to the DIS, why did you come to the DIS, and how did you find the DIS?
I found the DIS last spring (08) when I was planning our trip. I think I followed a link from a search for anything trip planning related.
How often do you visit the DIS?
I visit almost everyday and usually spend my work breaks sipping my Diet Coke and looking at interesting sounding posts and pictures.
Have you ever met anyone from the DIS?
Not that I know of!

Our first trip to Disneyland was about 6 years ago and my daughter and I went with a close family friend and her young son. My friend grew up in the Anaheim area so she was a pro and I just hung on for dear life and followed her lead. This past trip last summer was just my daughter and I and it was a very special trip. My then 13-year-old daughter was just bubbling over with excitement and love on that trip and it was just a joy to have that experience together. Our plan is to go every 2 years now, just us girls.
Tell us a little bit about you.
I am a single (divorced) Mom and I work full time at a medical facility. I have one child and one cat, all of us redheads. We love all things Disney and sci-fi (don't cancel Sarah Connor! I beg of you!)
Add whatever you'd like.
It's nice to have a spot like the DIS to visit. It's a nice diversion during a stressful work day. It also made our trip extra-special last summer since I had so many helpful tips and strategies from posters. I'm not a big poster myself, but I do enjoy reading other people's comments and trip reports. What a fun community!

When our children were little we went to WDW because we lived closer.. now we live closer to DL and take our grandchildren.
When was the first time you came to the DIS, why did you come to the DIS, and how did you find the DIS?
I did a webseach on Yahoo to find Disneyland trip planning and Found the Disboard. I'm a nerdgirl so i read it for a good month or so before i registered and posted. So that makes it May 2008.
How often do you visit the DIS?
Everyday, multiple times, I'm an empty nester and online alot looking for recipes and planning trips and special things for the family.
Have you ever met anyone from the DIS? Who was the first person you met. Have you ever been to a DIS Meet?
Yesssssssssssss! The first lovely ladies i met.. were Zoemakes5, TooCherie and Stacerita. Then I met all the girls only trip members when my mom and i went on that trip!
Tell us a moment that sticks out in your mind - funny, embarrassing, or touching - at Disneyland.
I have so many special moments at Disney world and land in my heart. At Disneyworld it was the moment my children saw Mickey for the first time and gave him big hugs! At Disneyland..it's the moment my mother walked on mainstreet.. and i actually had tears. Because she is such a loving and giving person, she always wanted to go to Disneyland all her life yet never was able to. Being able to take her and make this dream came true will be forever in my heart. We love that we have taken 4 generations of our family to Disneyland!
Tell us a little bit about you.
I'm the HaPpPy One! So Blessed with a family that I adore and would do anything for. My Boyfriend and I have celebrated over 25 years of marriage and still hold hands when we walk through the park. I am always doing things with my family. I travel alot. Love Museums and am an abstract artist who works in painting spiritual abstractions, primarily with oils and acrylics on canvas.
Do you have any pictures you'd like to share with us?

Thanks Debra and Sherwin!
It was that special Disney moment when I became a full-on-sold-out Disneyland fan. We have had many more magical moments since then with special character interactions, but that was the first one where I became "hooked" on the magic of the Mouse.
My youngest dd is 7 now, and almost past that "magic" age where the character interactions are very real and special. This last trip in March she played musical chairs with Alice and the Mad Hatter and I quickly realized that this would probably be one of the last visits where my daughter appreciates the characters. My older two already don't want to stand in character lines.
