The Dis Dad's Club III

[stopher1]

Ok here are just a few fun but totally useless trivial facts about our current thread for your Friday reading...

This current thread was created on January 7th

I left for our January trip on the 11th, and we were already up to 18 pages, or an average of 4.5 pages per day

I returned from vacation and posted the next day (January 22nd), and we were up to 38 pages, or 2.5 pages per day since its' inception

Currently we're up to 85 pages, and after 43 days after its' inception, we're now averaging only 1.97 pages per day.

At this rate, if this thread gets locked down at 250 pages it will take us at least until May 13th to fill it up. Or if we're lucky and survive as long as we did with v2.0 - (281 pages) - it'll take us until May 29th. WOW. I thought for sure we'd knock it out of the park by mid April and starting v4.0.

What's up with that guys? We're still quite chatty, yes, but what - you're all letting work get in the way? Sheesh.

Happy Friday guys! Gotta go get some work done I guess...

 

[that's nice]

It takes days like yesterday to get people's creative juices flowing. Some days this thread blows up.... other days you can hear crickets.

My Best Guess is that they can deactivate your missing card and issue you another...for a small fee no doubt.

Here is a great thread...

A guy asked about having a few drinks while in Epcot. He is going with his girlfriend and her 2 kids. Some of the responses are classic like this one:

show some respect for your girlfriend and kids..time to grow up and ditch the beer and alcohol. Better things to do at Disney than that

I swear people on this board have nothing better to do.

It's a good thing those 'types' of people never stumbled on this thread!!!

You should also tell them you are going to pool hop, use your mug at another resort, lie about your kids age to save money, put papertowel in thier shoes to make them taller to get on rides and use fast passes after the time expires.

That should get things going.....

Don't forget about putting 5 people in a room built for 4!

On a related topic, my DS is now 40 1/2", even in his smallest shoes - big enough for BTMRR, Splash Mountain, Soarin, etc. He's so excited (and so am I!) I'll still bring his hiking boots along (he's over 41" in them) just in case Disney's measuring sticks are a tad higher than mine.

Thats why I love this thread.

You guys are going to have a blast, it will be like doing them for the first time all over again. awesome!!

I guess thats why you see so many little girls with ponytails on the top of their heads

Actually, it will be like doing them for the first time again, again. Our October trip last year was the first time my DD was tall enough for them.

We still have Space Mountain (44") and Rock & Roller coaster (48") to bribe the kids with to eat their veggies. Remember kids, if you want to grow tall enough to ride those rides, you need to finish all of your peas!

Two years ago my middle son went on Soarin' no problem whatsoever when we were at the DL resort in the summertime. Then when we were at WDW in the Fall they made him put that stupid strap through the loop in the middle, because as they said, he's barely tall enough to ride. He was ticked. I found it so dumb though - it's the exact same attraction, cloned at Epcot from DCA, yet their height guidelines are slightly different.

Keep those boots & head-top pony tails handy!!!

thats because my big mouth wasnt on!!! ya,ya, dont all jump at once on that one!!

But it is good to have you back!

If you want to go with the full thermonuclear option, tell them you're pulling your kids out of school to go to Disney.

Hey, does that actually work?

Actually, it probably won't work on my middle son. He's tall enough and probably still won't go on those rides!

We have special holiday in Canada during the last week of January we take advantage of.....its called "the kids 6 people get over it" day.

I'm not sure if any of you guys have seen some of the new stuff on Toy Story 3, I posted a link to the Disney site on my TR but for those of not following along I figured I would throw the link on here as well.

Some of the new stuff is just down right hilarious!!

Please tell me that Safari Ken will not be allowed to join the Dis Dad's Club. Who would wear that on a safari? Camo toned maybe but powder blue?

True but we missed you Dave

Is it not true that these are the things that make us DIs Dads ? Would we not do anything for our kids and the Magic ?
