Hi, I'm kind of new to MW. I went to caramiapoohAKAface's MouseWait meet and went on the HM not so scary last ride. Met the best people. JollyRogers, Rick, Plumiegirl and someone else (sorry had first time jitters can't remember her name.) Sometimes it's very difficult to introduce yourself to new people and hope to be accepted. I would like to say "Hi" to everyone and I hope to meet you soon! One of these days I will be brave enough to go to another meet. I really wish I went to IGNS's surprise birthday bash last night!

I am new to the MouseWait forums. I have been using MouseWait for about a year and a half now. I have just started posting to the forums as of last month. My wife and I love to go to Disneyland when it is not extremely crowded. Some days we will just walk around the parks and not even go on a ride, we just enjoy the ambiance that Disneyland and California Adventure offer. MouseWait is a nice place to go when I need a pick me up during the day in my job which can sometimes go into the late evenings. I would like to thank all the MouseWait clan for their positive messages that help all of us get through each day we are not at the Disney parks. - friendlymouse358.4 #392 2-2-13 7:16PMLike Reply

Greetings everyone, started posting just last week but have loved Disney all my life. NorCal resident here and worst thing about it is having to drive the six hours to the Happiest place on earth :) Just from the week I've been a member and browsing the forums I can feel the love and friendship this community has for one another, it really is how Walt intended people who believe in his magic to come together I think. First year owning an annual pass and along with my wonderful girlfriend (huge disney fan herself) we plan to make it to the parks a lot this year. Looking forward to doing some in-park RAK's, all I ask is that with whatever we decide to give out, the biggest thanks will be the opportunity to meet and make some new lifelong friends :) Hope to see u at the parks! - ribidib403.7 #325 2-3-13 7:35AMLike Reply

The candlelight ceremony is on my list of things I haven't seen or done. For those of you that have been, can you give me any insight ( best viewing area, etc). I know Disney is offering reserved seating via a sweepstakes drawing
I went for my first time last year. I got there about three hours early, if I remember correctly. I was on middle, right side. Unless you have paid for the reserved seats, you have to stand to watch the performance. I'm not sure how the standing situation will be handled this year with the change of who can view it or how early you can start saving your spot. All I can say is that it is one of the most incredible things I have ever seen and heard. I love that they read straight out of the Bible and the choirs and music are breathtaking!! It is something you don't want to miss!! I left with the most wonderful feeling after the show. I hope you can see it this year!!
