Three years ago when I joined Mousewait the first person to wish me welcome was Dahulagirl. She always welcomed everyone with πΊπΊπΊ after her hello. She quickly became one of my VERY best friends and AUNTIE to my children. I will a More...
She will be truly missed and never forgotten..her smile and laugh were so infectious and she was somebody that you just wanted to be around as much as you could. Her positive vibrations just bounced off her to everyone who was around her and her caring and kindness was beyond anyone that I had met before. I don't think you guys really know how much she really did for MouseWait and helped shape this community..I will miss her so much but I am so happy and blessed that I got to know her and call her my friend..She touched so many of our lives in such a positive way that she will never be forgotten and I will forever cherish the memories I had with her and many of you all....my thoughts are with her loving Husband E818, her Brother Shangz and the rest of the Dahulament clan that loves her so much... - Dave 8834.6 #2 12-13-12 12:34PMLike(59) Reply
She loved you too. Lol. You always made her laugh. - Mrsblue 692.4 #150 12-13-12 12:45PM
Still, hours after receiving the very sad news of her passing, I am at a loss for the right words... She was a treasure to our family. She blessed us in HUGE ways with her beautiful friendship. The impact she had on this community of friends was nothing short of amazing. The world needs more of the love, kindness, generosity, joyfulness, positivity... that this gem of a woman daily lived out. Our family is covering her family in prayers for comfort and peace during what we know to be a very sad and difficult time. That one of a kind light up your entire day smile she so generously showered so many of us with is going to be so incredibly missed. Love you, friend... Thanks for being that, a VERY special friend, to our family AND to the MouseWait family. - MrsPrinceCharmingLike(38) Reply

Ok, I know that rich made a similar post but I dont sugar cote things and here is my two cents as well...As you guys can see there are a lot of brand new users coming on board and as much as you guys want to think they are trolls they are More...
Well said Dave, thanks for posting this. You never know who is on the other end, it could be someone who is younger, someone who just lost a loved one, a person with a learning disability, or someone who has watched the MW story videos and wants to be a part of the community. Just because they don't have the best communication skills and they're not social media savvy doesn't make them a troll. We've had our share of trolls and weirdos over the past 3 years, but they are extremely rare compared to the massive number of legitimate users. MouseWait can't thrive and grow if it's an exclusive club, it needs to be open to all Disney fans who follow the rules. - AdminLike(60) Reply
Thank you for stating this. I couldn't agree more! I think giving the benefit of the doubt and being kind is just always a much nicer way to live. If someone is really a 'troll' or you just think they are, please just ignore them. You may be wrong. And to be intentionally mean to someone who doesn't deserve it is just plain nasty and uncalled for. And surely not the true spirit of this app and what Admin had in mind when it wss created. - meridafan1101.0 #74 12-28-12 10:56PMLike(16) Reply

Three years ago today MouseWait was approved by Apple and made its debut in the App Store! Several weeks before that, we went to Disneyland to test the app, and I remember sitting in the lobby of the Grand watching as the test wait times More...
Its crazy to think that its been 3 years. It honestly feels a lot longer..Its amazing at how big the community has gotten since the very first meetup..The life long friendships, the dreams that have come true, and the laughter that we all have in the parks on a daily basis.Its so neat to see all these meetups on a daily basis that get up to 80 people and happen not only at the parks but all over the state of California..Its pretty crazy to think that none of us would probably have ever met if it were not for this app...There are not many of us from the beginning who still actively post on MouseWait or attend meetups but I know that each and everyone of them is extremely grateful for the people who have been brought into their lives because of this app....I know some people might get annoyed at times by people posting in the lounge and their countdowns to the park, what is your favorite ride, etc etc but you have to remember, you were once that new kid on the block that was just as excited to post in the lounge and join in on the fun and not read the FAQ....I look forward this weekend seeing old friends and meeting new ones and finally getting the chance to meet some of you that I've seen in the lounge for sometime but never had the chance to meet in person....Hope everyone has a fun a weekend!!!

Thanks to Mousewait: I think leggings and uggs are a viable fashion choice, I tried (and failed) to eat a Matterhorn sundae by myself, I know who Denny Hamlin is, I know where all the bars are in the resort, I've had many sleepless nights and a phone fall on my face more than once, I know about penny wise and honey badgers and Rebecca black and gangnam style and hidin yo kids, I witnessed a banana peeled, I own vinylmations and pins and earhats and about $1000 worth of crap from company d. Yeah, thanks. π Actually, I have a lot to thank MW for: late night craft frenzies, staying up all night talking in our hotel rooms, going to WDW with people I barely knew 6 months, realizing that we know everyone on our floor, pizza parties, group texts, squeezing 40 people on a jungle cruise boat and making the skipper laugh too hard to spiel, going to gay days and bats day and dapper day and Harry potter day, answering "80" when the cm asks "how many?" and then watching them panic, reading about the MW babies being born and watching them grow up and finally being tall enough to ride the big kid rides, skipping down main street arm in arm like a bunch of doofuses, β on pirates, dressing up like plaids and getting a talking to by security, meat babies, laying on the ground to watch fireworks, having someone text "are you home safely?" at 2am, and always being there for you, even when life sucks. Thanks MW, you're alright. π - bluefairy629.0 #176 10-21-12 4:42AMLike(3) Reply

I really truly admire you Admin for truly always trying to make this app better. I owe you so much for all you have done for us and I just want everyone to have that chance to know how amazing this app and the people are on here (every single member). I know I will be as welcoming to anyone who enters this lounge whether for a day or months, and help this in the nicest way possible to guide them through ways of the lounge. You have done so much and I honestly hope everyone who enters, whoever they are are treated with Respect. Because everyone does deserve that. I never claimed to be an ambassador, I'm just an elementary teacher who tries to distill these actions in their own lives too. I am always going to be this way, I'm just programmed that way and I know that this person does have work cut out for them but I know as a community, that we are, we will also help in making this a friendly family inviting app for everyone old or young enough to use it. Once again thank you for all you do! It's been blessed to have found MW and everything in my life that has come because of it. - MarshaMouse2936.4 #16 3-5-13 3:22PMLike(64) Reply

"A day at the Disneyland Resort" Disney Memories project, done by my brother. This was shot over a DLR trip with my cousin and his family who just got APs.

I do not work for the Disney company because I need too. I work there because I love too. I need the magic. Where else can you work where it is in your job description
to create happiness? The Disney brand is huge. TV networks, Travel More...
This is why I come to this happy place. To escape from the real world. I deal with the public everyday and Disneyland is the only place where I feel that I am treated just like how I treat my customers at work. With eagerness and joy, and not being "bothered" because someone asked me something or ignored. π€Just about everywhere you go now a days that's seems to be the way people treat customers. I pray that Disney keeps up on hiring and keeping employees like our CMBaloo.π He is what Disneyland is all about. Taking pride in what you do and making others happy. If everyone acting this way, the whole world would be a better placeππ - simba77239.3 #1144 2-5-13 7:31PMLike(7) Reply

No need to add me. I just want to thank everyone who donated to this awesome RAK! I'm honored to have known Dahula and Lacey, they were the sweetest people I've ever met.

I've stayed away from comments both about Dahula and Sandy Hook Elementary.. as even just typing this triggers tears. I am deeply sad and so so sorry to hear about a close passing from our community. I'm sad that I didn't get to know her and it hurts me to know so many 'virtually' surrounding me are feeling such a loss. True shinning spirits are so rare and I so wish this loss weren't so. Janine, you've left little bits of your spirit among some epic people. I'm really looking forward to getting to know you through them. Rest in love. - MrsMears214.5 #1456 12-15-12 2:20PMLike(6) Reply

I don't mean any trouble when I ask, but do you know these kids or for that matter ask the parents permission to post this? Lately I've been seeing pictures of children and characters and they are not their child. I for one love this picture, but I thought it was a big no no to post pictures of strangers children on a public forum with no permission. Sorry to single out your great pic, but I thought I'd ask. - mini_MINNIE 434.8 #292 1-30-13 11:08PMLike(8) Reply

From a journalistic perspective... If a person is in public, anyone has the right to take a picture of them. According to the law, you can also actually share the image in any social media platform (reason why I did it). - JAGOfficial 50.5 #3804 1-30-13 11:18PM
