Who is wdwetiquetteguy

I have to admit up until 2007 I wasn't a Disney nut like I am today.  I mean I knew the characters and I liked to moves ok, but I wasn't consumed with it like I am now.

It all started with a trip my wife and I took in early May of 2007.  At the time we had been married for roughly 7 months.  At the time we were building a house and we knew that when our first anniversary came around we would probably be either working on it or moving in.  We decided to go to Walt Disney World and an early anniversary trip.

At the time I had only been there for a few days when I was 11 years old.  My wife had spent even less time there than I had.  But we heard from friends and family that is was a fun place to visit and the people there would take good care of us.  So we booked a week at Animal Kingdom Lodge.

Now I'm the type of person who wants to consume as much information as I can about the place I'm visiting before I go.   I began to scour the internet and reading books researching the vacation kingdom.  I was amazed at the amount of detail they put into building that little resort in some central Florida swamp land.  Disney was setting it's hook.

That first trip did it for me.   I was hooked.  We returned a few months later for Christmas and several trips since them.  I've bought into DVC. I've made good friends who share my obsession. I know entirely to much trivia about every park.  I even got mentioned in a book about Walt Disney World.  It's safe to say that WDW has become more than just a place to take a vacation for me.

Several trips back my wife and I caught ourselves pointing out the "rookies" on property.  The families to didn't plan properly.  Or the ones who think they can do it all in there week at the parks.  Or the ones who are simply overwhelmed by everything Walt Disney World has to offer.   We saw so much of this that I started a twitter feed called @wdwetiquetteguy.  I would post little, or big mistakes we saw people making.  Part poking fun, part venting my frustration, all in good fun though.

I figured I would start this little blog to expand on some of those tweets.   If you are a WDW fan I think you will understand most of what I'm talking about.  If you happened to stumble upon this while planning a trip to WDW maybe one of my future posts will save you some head aches on your vacation.

All in all I hope you enjoy any future posts here and remember if you are heading to the parks soon, play nice.
