[DopeyGirl]

Hello Hello Hello!!!!

My name is Sarah (aka DopeyGirl) and I am SO excited to be your Guide for the DISNEYLAND: Planning Your Disneyland Adventure , DISNEYLAND: Getting There (and Back!) , DISNEYLAND: Touring the Lands: Disney Parks , DISNEYLAND: Southern California Attractions and THE LOCKER ROOM: Sports and Athletics forums!!!!



I am a 33 year old stay-at-home mom to a very energetic 8 1/2 year old daughter, who is just as much a Disney addict as I am . . . as well as a baby boy who just had his first birthday in early October 2009 (and who has already spent nearly a month of his short life in WDW)! Needless to day, his brain has been being Disneyized since before birth!

My husband has been a proud member of the United States Navy for the past 13 - since October 1996. His service has had us living up and down the east coast - we started his career in Jacksonville, FL, moved up to Maine, back down to Pensacola, FL and we're now back up north again (to Virginia)! We're currently preparing for our big move to our first west coast duty station on Whidbey Island, WA! My family is all on the west coast so it will be great to be back close to home finally! DH's military duty has afforded him the opportunity to travel to Japan, Italy, Germany, Bahrain, England, South Africa and Dubai, among many other places, with quite a few new destinations to come in the next few years!

I have been a proud member of the PassPorter community since early 2004 and truly do consider this place home and family! I have been fortunate enough to meet and travel to WDW as well as Disneyland with many other members of the boards and believe me when I say that everyone here is fantastic!!! I first discovered PassPorter after returning home from a trip to Walt Disney World in December 2003. Since the first time I read PassPorter, I have not laid eyes or hands on another Disney guidebook! True story!

I am a veteran of many, many trips to Walt Disney World (I was stationed in Jacksonville, FL while I was in the Navy in the mid-90's . . . so I made it to WDW at least once a month! ) My first trip was in April 1996!

I also have been to Disneyland quite a few times as well!!! My first trip was in June 1977, when I was all of 8 months old! I was born in San Diego, CA and lived there until I was 12, so we made just a few trips north to Disneyland.

I love Walt Disney World with all of my heart, but there is just something about “The Original”! My latest Disney World trip ended on July 6, 2009 and with moving out west, we aren't sure when our return will be. My most recent Disneyland trip was February 27-March 5, 2007 and with any luck, we'll be heading back to "The Original" sometime in late 2010/early 2011!!!

I am so proud and excited to be a part of the PassPorter family and hope I can serve you all well!
