DISers in Jacksonville area

[Disneymom83]

Wondering if there are any others in the jacksonville area.

 

[ChristineNic]

I will be moving to Jax in December.

 

[Disneymom83]

Oh where are you moving from?

 

[SouthernBelles]

Hi..I'm in Jax!

 

[Disneymom83]

I'd love to get to know other disney people that are in this area. Think it would be fun. I don't think i have any friends that are as obsessed with disney as I am lol

What part of jax is everything from? I'm in the Southside/beaches area.

 

[SouthernBelles]

OP area for us. My daughter is in VPK in Fleming Island and we LOVE it over there. We will be moving to that area if I can ever get this house up for sale!!

Any Disney trips coming up for you? We are heading down 12/4-12/8 and staying at CBR this time.

I know what you mean about being Disney obsessed, I just bought a Chamilia Flex Bangle this morning off of Ebay just so I could fill it with Disney beads!!!

We use to live in OP as well. We've been over here for about 4 years now.

We're looking at going for 2 nights end of February but the prices are so high I think I'll have to push the dates back. Nothing is set in stone. DH and I graduate in april so we didn't want to try to plan a trip then and there have 3 birthdays in May. I guess we could always go beginning of May. Though I'd love to go sooner.

My DH just doesn't understand my obsession either. Lol though he's a willing participant. Since I'm the planner of the family he's stuck with the vacations I plan.

I am moving from Ft Lauderdale area. I will be staying with friends in Middleburg for a month. We close on our new house, also in Middleburg, a week and a day before Christmas.

It would be fun to have Jax area Dismeet.

 

[Disneymom83]

Yes I agree it would be fun. Maybe we can keep this thread going as our "jax group"?
What do you ladies think?

 

[SouthernBelles]

Love the "Jax Group" idea!!

An early welcome!! We just went to Halloween Party out at Lake Asbury (Middleburg area) and it was sooooooo much fun! The neighborhood really got together and had decorating contests and it really was a blast!!

A Jax group is a great idea!

How many times have you been to either DL/ DW: >100. I started when I was 4 years old going to Disneyland, some years we used to go 3X/ year to DW. I'm in my 40's now, so that's a lot of Mickey ice cream ears I've been eating.
Favorite character: Eeyore
Favorite ride: HAUNTED MANSION! Halloween is my fave holiday!

I'm making plans to go to Epcot Flower and Garden Festival in May 2014. March and April are some of the busiest times because of spring break, that's why we're waiting for May.

My mom and I are going to the Back to Back Double Dip Cruise on Disney Wonder in October 2014. 4 times at Castaway Cay in 9 days.

Next weekend, I will be moving to Middleburg - near Oakleaf Plantation. I will be staying with friends for a month. DH and I close on new house in mid-December. I'm so excited.

My new job starts before our house will ready. I'm not looking forward to being away from DH and our fur kids for a month. But I am hoping to sneak in a solo WDW weekend. My friends are so generous in allowing me to live with them for a month, but I know how even the best house guests can be in the way. I'm am trying to have some plans to get me out of their hair so they can have some private time while I am living there.

 

[SouthernBelles]

Good luck on the move. Moving is always so stressful and especially when you will have to be away from your family while doing it. Hope the month goes by quickly for you.

My kids play T-Ball at Oakleaf and one of the kids on the team lives close to the area you're talking about. They are out near the new hospital. They really like it out there, that area is growing like crazy!

I haven't attempted to multi quote yet but just wanted to welsome everyone and yes...GO NOLES!!
