*MW Question* As we all know all of us are from so many places in the country or world, yet friendships are built here regardless of the distances between us. It amazes me. What amazes me the most is the journey to this place. So I really have to ask, what brought you to MW? How did you end up here and where are you at in the world?
CMBaloo introduced me last July one day while we were working on the parade route together. (It's been almost a year! Crazy!!!) I think the first MWers I met were Mickey74 and Sugarbaker. It's been a lot of fun creating friendships and hanging out with other Disney affecionados. I live about 30 minutes from the park (20 if no traffic). - IDVandalSkipperCM

My boyfriend used the app just for wait times. One day I was browsing through the app and found the lounge and I got hooked :) I didn't have a smart phone at the time so I would often look at his iPhone app. The like half a year later I got my own android so I wouldn't kill his battery XD I am currently reside in the East LA area - MayBie

Glad you are enjoying it :) it's a fun app to have - gigibunny2 242.7 #1080 9:44AM
I am close in North San Diego. Mosewait was discovered by accident. I used to only post wait times, until I needed the porch to get my autistic daughter out of a super huge crowd during a sensory overload. We hopped up there and she crawled under the bench that was full. The MW'ers helped calm her down with out her running away ( by ignoring her). Someone got my other 2 a pickle since they were talking about it as we entered. Now I embrace the lounge. - MeridasHair

Glad you found this app. It really makes a difference! 😊 - gigibunny2 242.7 #1080 9:40AM
I was searching for a better wait time app than the one I was using. I think I had the app for a couple months before I realized there was a lounge. My 1 year anniversary is coming up in a week or so. I live with my old man Long Beach. - LaneSparrow316

I grew up in Southern CA but spent most of my teenage years, ironically, close to Marceline, MO. I've always loved Disney and we are planning a family trip in Ocotober. I started hunting down apps that would be useful in the park, found the lounge and I've been hooked! - meddockian

When I got my iPhone in 2009 I immediately started looking for Disneyland wait times apps. I stumbled across a relatively new one called MW and spent the evening exploring everything. - LilSterner

I did a search for Disney apps and came across MW. Downloaded it when it was fairly new so I kept it to see what it was all about, and loved seeing what it was evolving into - LBChica

Saw someone checking wait times in 2010 and when I actually got on the lounge I was infected with the addiction. Especially all the laughter - MarshaMouse

I grew up in NorCal, and my family still lives there, so Disneyland was always our vacation destination. When I graduated from HS, I went off to upstate NY for college (entering my senior year this fall). Last fall, I went to LA for a "study abroad" opportunity and worked for a TV show in Burbank. In the mean time, my mom was busy stalking the lounge whenever she was bored. When I moved to LA, she told me to join because she knew I was planning to get an AP. I did and the rest is history! I'm back in NY for the next year, but I'm counting down until my move to LA in May 2013! - KylaShea

My friend Introduced my to the app one day while we were hanging out and she knew I love Disney so she help me create an account and now I'm addicted :) I don't have a annual pass so I don't get to go to the park very often so everyone's pics and videos help me get updated on what's going on on the parks :) - DlandLover89

Just did a quick search in iTunes. Found that MW was a new app (this was back in 2009). The rest is history - BaseballMickey_CM
2863.1 #16 11:30AM
I've had this app since 2010 and signed up for the lounge but for some reason at that time I was not able to sign in. I used this app for wait time til I finally got my iphone 4 (faster on internet) in February. Since then I've been hooked and it's been nice to meet people who are addicted to Disneyland. I live in Manteca. For those who don't know where that is, it's by Stockton and 1 hr 1/2 east from San Francisco. - adventurerEnDisneylandia {AED}

I'm a huge Disney fan and I happen to come across this when I got my iPhone 4 and happen to come across this app. I'm in Vancouver, BC. Will be making my trip to The Happiest Place on Earth since my last trip in 1988! - Sleeping_Beauty

Sorry, I meant will be making the trip to The Happiest Place on Earth next month since my last trip in 1988. This makes much more sense now. 😊 - Sleeping_Beauty

In 2011, MW started following me on Twitter. I followed them back, but it took me many months to realize there was an app and website! - PirateQueenBriezy
291.4 #662 11:51AM
I was searching for wait time apps. My friend Kevin had one, but he's got Verizon and an iPhone, so he has the one Disney advertises for. I have a mytouch. But, you know I like this app. It's so much fun. I hope I can make tons of new friends that enjoy Disneyland, and just Disney in general, as much I do. - dreadpiratebubbles

Salutations...Last year in July, a friend and I were at a week long Harry Potter movie marathon at the AMC Block of Orange...we were taking a break before the next film started and she asked if I had heard of MW...I told her no and she showed me the app...I downloaded it and I was hooked right away...I am at the parks so often that it just meshes so well with me...never could I have imagined the friends I would make and great times I would have...I live in East Los Angeles and am at the parks A LOT...this is so much more than an app...its a fantastic family :-) - uscdisneyteacher

My daughter wants to do park promotions for Disney after college. She was researching everything she could. She found this app. We used it for a trip. Feel I love. I lurked fir a long tine. Then signed up. We don't post alot but read through everyday. Love it. We tell people about it all the time. We live I Clovis Ca. We get to the parks about 4-6 times a year. The only place where stress does not live or visits. - sewedna

I wanted to fill my phone with Disney apps so I searched Disney in the app store and this came up. Now I'm obsessed. I'm from Nor Cal, Marin County. - dznylovr

I was sitting at home one day and was being Disney crazy like I always am. I had the idea that I wanted to see if I could check the wait times and other things going on at the park on my phone, so I searched the AppStore and MW had great reviews and looked nice. So, I downloaded it to try and I loved it. I was working as a CM at the time and figured I could contribute some neat things to the lounge, so I started posting and got hooked. Now I'm an AP and a stay at home mommy. I really enjoy the feeling of community on here and knowing that there are always people out there that are just as Disney crazy as I am. I live in Ontario and am just about 35 miles away from the parks. - CMJenKWorth

I could have written that first chunk of your post. I found MW the same, exact way. - JinglePoe 289.9 #672 12:52PM
I dated a MWer who is now a good friend of mine. Lol. He introduced me to MWers at a meetup and I've been hooked ever since. I have always been a huge Disney fan and finally I have found people just like me. My Mouse Wait family is truly family! I'm so blessed to have many of you in my life. So I may of lost a boyfriend...but I gained true friends (including him). Haha - ohhhtoodles

I am from Anchorage, AK and I found MW shortly after our 2010 visit to DL. I just did an ap search. It is now how I stay connected between trips. This ap has allowed me to discover all kinds of new things about DL and just Disney in general! - AKMouse
