I have decided to continue to document my trip planning in a Facebook group. I will also “live blog” my trip as it happens and upload photos to the group.

Alas, enjoy, all. Some of us don’t do Facebook. I hope you’ll still publish your highlights here, profmatt.

Same here- not on Facebook but would love to keep up with your trip planning here. Like you I am also celebrating my 50th birthday this year with a trip to WDW. Yay middle (late?) age lol.

Don’t do Facebook, but very glad to have you back @profmatt. We missed you the last few days.

I’ve always thought you should start a blog. This is a good first step!

I, too, don’t (won’t!) use Facebook. Nor Instagram. (Or most popular social media platforms.) So, I’m out of luck. ;(

Unless Matt decides to do a blog! That way he would own his own content.
Not on Facebook either— would love to still follow along.
Same here! 
I don’t use them either, but out of curiosity… why does everyone here avoid them?
Sorry. This is my only social media. I do not do facebook. Hope to catch your trip reports.
For me I prefer my privacy and I don’t want people to know my every detail especially when the majority are just being nosy. I don’t like drama so I don’t want to get sucked into that aspect either in particular religion and politics. I’m sure there is a good benefit to social media, but I mainly see downsides like a time suck of “catching up” and then the whole comparison/grass is greener on the other side. To each their own, but I won’t ever get back to Facebook.

Well said. I’m the same. I like my privacy. If I need to ‘keep up’ with you, I can do it in other ways. If I can’t, then you’re probably not important to me.
But mostly, I don’t like that FB collects so much data on people and appropriates it all as their own. They even take the copyright on photos, I believe. Everything put on their site belongs to them. I don’t like that.

Exactly! I hate the boasting from people I barely know and am extremely paranoid about the information anyone can take from there.
Nope, never liked it much.

I did not know this. Now I am even more paranoid… 
DH thinks the FB demographic is under 30 and over 65…
Not sure about the under 30. My kids have an account, but only use it if they are playing a game that requires FB for a log in. DS13 doesn’t even check his email because FB sends him so much junk that he has no interest in. They use other text-based software to keep up with their peers, like Snapchat.
probably not so much younger kids, 20s and 65+
it’s original demo was college students

That’s just a settings issue. I use FB all the time and haven’t had an email off them since about the second week after I joined. I agree that they all use Snapchat though. And IG too.
