Hello. Thought I should post here. Very excited to be going back to Disney world for the first time in 14 years. Last time I was there, I was graduating High School. Now, I am married, have a 2 year old daughter and I am excited to share Disney with her!

Name: Clay
Family Sit Rep: Married. DW Ashley. DD2 Hope.
Pets: Just had to put our cat down. Not sure we will have another. Very sad.
Location: Bethlehem, PA
Occupation: Full time Internet Sales Director for Muller Auto Group in New Jersey. Part time wedding photographer.
Favorite foods: Steak, burgers and mexican food
Favorite Drink: Beer or Bourbon
Hobbies: Golf, football and video games

Oh, and our trip will be October 14 - 20 this year. We are going to buy a house this summer and plan on having another kid soon, so it was either now or wait another 3 years. I made the decision that we are going to find the cheapest way to go to Disney so my daugher can get there before she is 6.

I rented DVC points through Dave's Disney Vacation Club to stay at the value studios in Animal Kingdom. I think I can find flights from Newark or Philly to Orlando for $200 each and I plan on buying 6 day tickets (no water parks, no hopper) through Undercover tourist.

In any case, I am excited to see there is a group of Dad's on here and I would love to participate.

Welcome Clay! Along with theDuck619, I also enjoy photography. Not sure if you know or not, but on the main board is a photography thread. You should definitely check that one out!

Gentlemen!! Greetings! I've been away from the boards for about a year. My DW decided that 3 trips to WDW was enough and announced that she really didn't want to go to WDW again for a while, and then only for short visits. About a month ago her sister called me to ask for Disney advice. My DW handed me a note which read "Let's Go with them!" Hopefully we have turned a corner! PRAY that we have a good trip!!!!

I was part of the DIS Dads trip in Dec 10 when I took my DD along with my sister and her kids. Met a couple of DIS Dads. Here are photos:
