Hi,
I'm Geoff (DIBB Username is geoffa), originally from Derbyshire. I am 59 years young. I Live with my partner of 20 years in North London. Work for London Underground.

I've Always been a Disney nut since I was a kid and they would have special showings on TV at Easter. Those clips with Walt and his park sure had an effect on me. Been visiting Orlando since 1992 and love it so much we bought into Disney vacation Club. Have also extensively traveled throughout the USA - 29 states out of the 50 so far. I particularly like the "Backstage" stuff - how it came to be, how it works....how they create the magic!

Hi,
I'm James (DIBB Username is JamelUK). I was born in 1971, the same year Walt Disney World opened, so we will both be celebrating in 2011.

I was originally born in Poulton-Le-Fylde near Blackpool, so I grew up around the Pleasure Beach and rollercoasters, quickly becoming a fanatical adrenalin junkie. The faster, higher and longer the better and I am fascinated by the facts, engineering, imagination and psychology which goes into the design of the modern theme park rides.Disneyland Paris holds a very special place in my heart as on our first holiday together there in August 1999, Mel and I discovered we really loved each other.

Many, many trips to Paris later it was no surprise to anyone when we went to Walt Disney World for our honeymoon in Nov 2004. We've been back there every year since for our Anniversary, still managing to squeeze in a quick visit to DLP when funds allow.

Hi,
I'm Grant (DIBB username is sunriselv), I'm the most Northern member of the Team, based near Edinburgh. I'm also proud to advise that I have more hair than Rob, James and Geoff put together – although grey. Married, for tax reasons, for longer than I can remember, the family have visited Disney Parks in Paris and Florida many times. The Magic Kingdom does it for me every time and if Jim could fix it for me then I'd be the next monorail driver. The attention to detail always impresses me in any Disney Park and experiencing the Florida lifestyle is something everyone should experience.

Hi,
I'm Mel (DIBB username is Melanie R). As the more observant amongst you will have noticed, Im James' better half - I take credit for all his good ideas, but any bad ones are all his! Im originally from Wigan, which explains my strange addiction to the oft mentioned Mint Balls. Fast rides used to scare me - and then I met James!

Our first visit to DLP was conditional on me riding all the rides it has to offer, including my first inverted roller coaster - Space Mountain! Cue 2 hours of hysteria in the queue line long before the days of Fast Pass. Thankfully I loved the ride and haven't looked back since (although I do confess to the odd occasion of nerves on a new ride!) The Disney magic well and truly cast it's spell on us and we have made many trips back since to both DLP and WDW - Mickey & Minnie even made an appearance on our wedding cake!
