    DDC XXXIV: The Original Home Of The DISDads!!!

    I own DVC, after far too many years of not owning. I still rent points when it suits our vacation needs better. That said, does anybody else cruise the rent/trade board, looking for a deal in a "just in case" basis, or is it just me?

    DDC XXXIV: The Original Home Of The DISDads!!!

    I'm not sure if any of the Dis(board) DisDads are aware, but there is a DisDad Club Convention in January. I think the official dates are 6-10. I'm arriving on the 11th. but there's enough hold-over. I bring it up so everyone feels like they're invited, because, you are. At least, that's my...

    Being a Dad is a lot of work. BUT - so is being a DisDad. I started on the DIS (1), then, I joined FB (2), then, I started running, and found DisDad fitness page (3). THEN, I convinced my wife we should get a small DVC contract. and there's a DisDad DVC fb page (4). THEN, I found out that our...

    I didn't set my lineup on week 10 after going 1-9. It was "giving away a win" at that point - I was told. PLUS, I would log in at 11:00 on Sunday to set my lineup for the week. Well, when games happen Thursday and Saturday, I missed the players playing. Because I lost my interest in the sport...

    hey howdy hi. When I was 14-17, I could name almost every team's starting QB across the NFL. And this is pre-internet (for me), so it came from watching pre-game on Sunday, and reading the paper. Today, I don't know if I know if there are 30 or 32 NFL teams, and it would be a struggle for me to...

    I just chatted with a cast member from WDW about how upgrading park tickets worked historically. So, I mention I'm a crazy Disney fan, and her response was "We're all mad here." Like, That's flat out owning your job. It was great! But - bottom line, historically, if you asked, you could move...

    hi! so, I started posting on Disboards in 2007. In 2009, I had a trip to All Star Movies, and I remember posting "Winding Down" asking if there was a poolside bar at All Star Movies. (answer: yes) After that, I found DisDads Thread #3. The Cheese Ball Yak attack - Where FreezinRafiki (Barry)...

    Goals around the EPL were crazy! I was all kinds of excited when I saw ManU gave up 6. Then, on the flip side - Seeing Aston Villa putting 7 on Merseyside Reds?!? ouch. I will say this, though. I was FIRMLY on the Leicester City bandwagon when they won the league. And, I'm going to bandwagon...

    2yr old is back at school today. His eyes look crazy devil kid, but he's acting fine. Which is good. Thanks for everyone's updates. There's no way you are all bots or story-tellers. The information is way too relatable for me to think Disboads is some massive undertaking to collect my personal...

    @londontime - My cousin-in-law is from Liverpool. He joined the family (officially) as I was getting into Soccer (thank you Fifa '98 on the PlayStation), so L'Pool became my club, because that was his club. That's my multi-layered approach. My 2nd club is Crystal Palace, because of Walt Disney...

    okay - sometimes, I would like if my internet friends could actually stop by. and, I say that knowing full well I'm a crappy internet friend myself. Like, someone (@declansdad maybe) posted some amazing photos. BUT - I didn't quote to copy them. So I'm sorry. I did spend yesterday at the...

    Okay - so - Liverpool plays at 3:00 (local time) on something called Peacock premium. so, I guess I'll just cheer for L'Pool and not watch. Next: the handball rules in English football are ridiculous so far. 3) I liked that Jose Murhino lost. I don't have anything against Tottenham per se, but...

    I once saw a FB post that had all 50 states summarized in one (or two) sentences. The ones I remember are: Alabama - thank got for Mississippi, or we'd be last in everything. Mississippi - you're welcome Alabama Missouri: Too far south to be a northern state, and too far north to be a...

    Oh - and she mentioned wanting to visit Aulani for our 20th wedding anniversary (w/o the kids), so I've been stalking the boards looking for points.

    @londontime , I mean - I was mad because once it was back live, and they didn't win the first game outright - I was very concerned they would be like the old days, and snatch defeat away from the hands of Victory. THEN - the worst part - is that once they clinched, I could not find them on my TV...

    Because manners matter. Growing up, we were taught to not wear hats at the table. So when people do it, it brings up my mom & dad telling me "don't wear hats at the table." I don't know if that's what you're reacting to, but, that's what I'm reacting to.

    @pkondz - I've never BEEN a line judge. I barely know enough about tennis to know what a Line Judge is... :) Next - Hats are awesome. They just has that air of class. If you do it alone, it seems pompous. If everyone does it, it's classy. Next - January 2022 is the 25th anniversary of the...

    Hi guys! I'm checking in on the DisBoards because I'm a fan. Plus, there is so much traffic on Facebook that I worry good stuff gets overlooked here. Which is unfortunate. Now - that said - I also vote to bring hats back. I haven't been hit by a tennis ball while being a line judge. I want to...

    In our case, I was looking at The Timeshare Store (www.dvcresale.net) and found a contract on the site that worked for us. Contacted them, and 4 hrs later made an offer.

    Checking is, as to not lose my status on the boards. The DW and I made an offer on a 50 pt BWV contract. It's enough points for a 3 or 4 day studio stay each fall during food & wine for 2 ppl. We're pretty excited, even if the first time we use the points won't be until January 2022.
