I went to a wedding this weekend of two friends I met on MouseWait. I couldn't imagine not being a part of their special day or the shenanigans before and after. It's amazing to me how lifelong friendships have developed all because of a phone app. The community that has grown because of MouseWait is remarkable, but Mousewait is more then an app or website. It's a place where people with a common love of Disney can meet in real life or virtually. The giving, the RAKs, people doing special favors for others to only be paid by the thanks of the person gifted. I remember the first meet up, carrying around a laptop so a friend from Australia could join the fun. I remember when I first met LaceySue and heard her say "It's Coaster" when she recognized me. I remember the first two people I met because of MouseWait. Lots of awesome memories, lots of new friends. I just wanted to thank @Admin for having a dream and creating this wonderful place we call MouseWait. I also want to thank @MrsPrinceCharming for the support she gives him. This is a video that not many of you have seen. Created by Admin and shown at the 2011 Birthday. - Coaster9288.6 #1 6-4-13 12:42AMLike(18) Reply
Well said, Coaster. Although people have come & gone, I couldn't be more appreciative of the wonderful friends I have made through MW. The biggest of thanks to Admin for all his hard work, time, and effort as well as to MrsPC for the support she's given Admin. - LBChica 1560.5 #52 6-4-13 6:43AM
Bravo #1! So happy to know you and Lori! Hope to see you both soon! Thank YOU as well for all YOUR hard work keeping those wait times updated! - Duchess_SMK 3516.6 #10 6-4-13 9:06AM
thank you Coaster, I love this post that reminds us of how blessed we are to just chat on an app and meet so many people (if only online sometimes) that become friends and family. You are part of our family and you are such a wonderful positive influence on this site so thank you for you and your wife being great MouseWaiters and teaching us all how its done. And thanks of course Admin and MrsPrinceCharming and your whole family, for sharing your love of Disney with us and giving us all a place to share it with everyone else!! Love ya all!!! - secretagentangel710.5 #142 6-4-13 12:47AMLike(2) Reply
I love the video.. I am still very new to mousewait, but that video gave me goosebumps. My grandparents would put us up in the disneyland hotel, cousins, aunts, uncles... then my parents too carried on the tradition, it was our family vacation every year, and now we continue it with our kids. It was our first date as well :) .. When we lost my mother two years ago, where else did we take my father, but disneyland, he rode my mother's favorite rides just for her, it was such an amazing trip for healing... thank you for sharing!!! - JeanaLeigh5.3 #10284 6-12-13 2:14AMLike Reply

This reminds me of the time that SIC would not meet anyone for the longest time but would post things in the lounge about things she would see MouseWaiters doing in the park such as me singing the wonderful world of bubbles and playing with my bubble gun waiting for WOC...The first time that anyone ever had an encounter with the fishy fish was at the first year that MW participated in the Gumball Rally where she was in line right behind the MW team and her husband gave up her identity and even she would not take a picture with them. Then several months later the same group of MWers including some others thought that they saw her in the park and started following her and approached her and asked her if she was SIC and she started talking in an English accent and said no that she had no clue what they were talking about. Several months later she agreed to meetup and I did and we talked but what she did not know that I had 6 other MouseWaiters waiting to finnaly meet her as well. So I said, lets go on Haunted Mansion and once we got into the Elevator they all pooped up and started introducing themselves to her. Then came our second plan. Lets get her on TOT so that way we could get a picture of her on the ride and finally post a pic of her in the lounge and we did just that.now you cant go a week without seeing a pic of her in the lounge..After the initial fright of all of us scary people she really came out of her shell and even started hosting her own meetups and still being an active member in the lounge for 3 years...Congrats on your 3 years and thanks for being a good sport and friend over the years. - Dave 8821.7 #2 4-5-13 1:04PMLike(13) Reply
Oh wow, I was freaked out the entire time reading this, wondering what you would say next ππ that's pretty accurate, but I DID take a photo with the gumball team, but they all said not to post it. Haha. So glad I finally met up, even though you know JUST how to push my buttons at times, I am SO glad to call you friend! π - Sweet_Irish_Cream 2705.8 #19 4-5-13 1:29PM
