My name is "Tom" and I'm a Disney nerd.

Now my house is another matter. And, my house during Christmas would make a good case study for someone with a Doctorate.

But I kick booty at Disney trivia and useless factoids. I'm constantly reading. Trips to the parks are kind of a fact-finding mission for me. It drives my poor husband crazy.

My family and friends find that hard to believe though.
I tell them that the new info I have is because of LP.
( thanks all you Disney nerds, I luv ya)

Maybe we should set one up. We could all meet at the Lost Bar.>>>>>>>>

OK, but you'll have to close circuit TV to the rest of us over here closest to WDW; we could have a teleconference or something to that effect . . .

That's the annual Big Meet in July and the Golden Doobies award ceremony, I think.

I think that sounds great!!!!!!!!!

Like many here have stated, I am a Disney Freak but I don't hold a candle to some of you. But I do have a lot of Disney stuff all over my house and I wear lots of Disney clothes (not just at Disneyland) and I canºoº

My wife doesn't like it very much, so, when I come home, a lot of times I spray it on my left wrist so I can smell it throughout the course of the night and think of Epcot! It's the only place I've ever seen it or smelled it. When I walk through Epcot, I start smelling Laila once I get past Mexic.

Ok....cape cod joe wins perfumed hands down!

Now if I can just get that image out of my head....

I spend all my time thinking when I'm on the exercise bike in the middle of the night 3:30-7:30 A.M., and I just thought of that Laila thing and remembered Rachel, my daughter, has asked "Dad, Why are you wearing mom's perfume?" Now how do I answer that one from a 12 year old?
