I have been on MW for 1 year! It's my one year MW anniversary! (I'm a little late because I didn't want to post on 9-11 because I wanted to have the posts honoring the 9/11 heroes on their own). But I just wanted to say that, after a year, I feel happy about everything MW has done for me. Other than wait times, there have been so many things. It has given me a whole different view of Disneyland. I have given some RAKs and I have won some too, but the best thing about MW are the friends that I have made - and friends are what make Disneyland memorable - and we have taken that friendship outside of Disneyland and it just makes life better. I was going through a really rough time with things in my life, and I decided to go to my first meet up - but I was one of the shyest people I know, so it was tough. I finally gathered up the courage, and introduced myself to the 12 people standing in front of the Star Tours fastpass area. It turns out that it was a family reunion and I just introduced myself to the wrong people. Then realized the meet up I was supposed to be at was with 3 people. It was fun. With the help of manong872, the sandcars, vfxgenie, and Jacqueline, I started meeting more and more people. I have made so many friends because of this app, and I also shook off a lot of the shyness I had. I was VERY shy, but now I'm too talkative and annoying. But I want to thank everyone for being awesome, and for sharing this love of Disney with me. I love the times we all hang out and just have good clean fun. I went to the Parks almost everyday because of this new dynamic to the Parks that MW brought to the table. That's what it's all about - fun, smiling, and laughter. "Never regret anything that made you smile or laugh" is what I live by. It's been a year and I have introduced many people to MW and I still love meeting new MWers and I love watching this community grow! I'm almost always down to hang out and meet new people, and I like to think I'm a nice enough guy. If you see me around the parks, feel free to say hi! (oh, but I may have my headphones on, so yeah... don't feel bad if I didn't hear you lol) Thank you, I am very thankful for all of you. =)
I love hearing stories like this, thanks for sharing and thanks for always contributing. - Admin

Thanks VC. I totally agree with the picture.. I go through pictures sometimes, and see who's in them, and think about how it went from a simple "hi, I'm Mark, nice to meet you".. to "Hey lets watch Genie do his dance while DJBD spins his 70s/80s set" - LaTruce 1614.7 #45 11:08AM
