How'd You Come across DC?

Goofette · 07-26-2003

I was just thinking, and trying to remember how I found Disney Central, and was curious as to how all of you came across this Great Disney Site.

....I had bought the Unofficial guide to WDW, and in it were some disney sites. I decided to check them out. And while doing that, one of those sites referenced Disney Central. For the longest time I didn't sign up, and would just check the announcements on the front page. Then I realized there was a forum, and started reading it. I had never posted to a forum, and was paranoid to even try to attempt it....but I finally signed up, and started posting away. Mickey made me feel so comfortable, it was great! I was so addicted to it the first 6 months it was awful! I remember the site going down and I would almost panic wondering what was wrong LOL. I definately get my Disney Fix here.

So...how did YOU find Disney Central?? :) :)

I was posting in another website and someone there mentioned this place. Being the Disney nut I am,I immediately had to check out this place!! And the rest,as they say,is history!!!!!

To be honest, I don't even remember, but, I haven't been anywhere else since I found this place.

What a great idea for a thread!!!

I was doing a Google search on the infamous Quick & Casual Vouchers and was sent to a post on this forum. I read that one thread and everyone seemed so genuinely interested in helping everyone else.

In fact, someone was offering her extra Q&C to anyone interested and I responded to her via email. She was so nice and the threads seemed so different from the others I had been reading that I immediately registered. :D Of course the rest is history.... addiction .... new friends ... occasional panic from server being down .... I think we've all been through it...;)

The other boards I go to were slow one day and I was surfing different Disney sites, and found a link to here. Checked it out, liked it, and so I am here! :)

That is *exactly* how I got here! Too funny!

I was doing a MSN search on Disney Cruise information at work and Disney Central was one of the first things that poped up. :D :)

I found DC by accident.......NOW.... I call it fate/destiny!;)

I couldn't access the WDW web site, and I had been trying for days with no luck.:dazed

Well, on the "matching site" page there was , a little senetence that asked, "Are you having trouble accessing the WDW web page?" YES!!

So, I clicked on it and it connected me to a DC thread of others having the same problem! I even learned how to "clear my cookies"...which I had never even heard of!:whistle:

It worked, and everyone had been so nice, well,
THE REST IS HISTORY...and yesterday I became a Big Cheese...LOVE THIS SITE AND ALL OF YOU!!!!:)

:)

While going through a severe case of WDWW / DD (Walt Disney World Withdrawal / Disney Depression) I was checking some Disney I found this site on a Yahoo search. I came here and became addicted!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)

preidel24 · 07-26-2003

I came across it by pure accident when I was searching for info on the food and wine festival. In fact that was my first post and Mickey answered it. I've been hooked since then.

well I am like tiggerlover1971, I owe my being here to Goofette:) I was on this other _____ board where people were mean and hateful and not a bit disney .. except for Goofette who told me about DC .. sick of all the mean people there I came here. never went back to that evil board

ilvminnie · 07-26-2003

I was doing some research to prepare for our Mar 2002 trip & came across this site. Don't even remember what I was searching on at the time, but I'm glad I was looking for whatever it was! Like Goofette, I had never posted or even been interested in discussion boards or chat rooms or anything like that. But as soon as I plugged in to DC I was hooked. Now you can't shut me up!!! But I love all of you.:love: :love: :) :)

I had gotten unfairly banned on another Disney site and was looking for another one. I think I searched google for wdw forum and this was one of the ones that came up.
