DIS Dads DDC XIV - It's a trap!!!

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

My son Matthew (the birthday boy) has a friend over tonight for a sleepover for his birthday. AND he's taking his friend along to Laser tag. It's his best friend, and they were both so pumped about getting to spend something like 36 hours together uninterrupted by things like school, homework, etc, etc. Ahh to be a kid again and get to just hang out with your buds for so long. I keep telling my kids to enjoy it now, because it won't last forever.

Happy Birthday to Matthew!

And it’s nice to see you all happy-chatty again.
We’ve missed you around here on a regular bases.

(Time to up the post counts again?)

Hi guys, is this the insomniac support group?

I do believe that you’ve hit this particular nail on the head.

Enjoyed easedropping on you Brent, Christopher and Andy last night.

As always love seeing all the vacation photo's from all Disney's around the world.

Casey, you gonna get us some pics from Dinseyland Hong Kong?

DS has ad a nasty cough for the last couple of weeks, and it ain't going away. Gonna take him to see a Dr. today. I'm sure he's fine, but better safe than sorry...right?

Keep this place moving folks.

Talk later.

Mine is just the Google Logo.

Must be the difference between Canada & The US…

Down here it’s a salute to Charles Addams, cartoonist and creator of the original “Addams Family”.

Good luck...

Thanks!
I’ll pass that on to the boys.

A look at page 62 gets us…

I see that... I've read through it. And there is no such thing as a "work" trip to Aulani.

Well, now, actually there is. When you sell travel, you need to understand and be familiar with what you're selling. And that's what I'm going for. Familiarization.

Good cover, but…
I’m with Andy on this one.

But I’m turning green with envy just thinking about it.

I'm not. I've had a cold for about a week now and it has been about that long since I've actually had a good night of sleep. NyQuil usually helps for the first 2 or 3 nights, but after that I think my system becomes used to it and it really has no effect. I should lay down and give it another try... 2:30 - 3:00 has been about when I've finally crashed the past couple of nights.

Hope you get to feeling better.
I wouldn’t even wish that nonsense on my nemesis.

Speaking of Disneyland - how about a few pictures. I haven't posted pictures in a while.

From DCA...

Oooooooooooo…

Perrrrrr-ty!

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

So glad I am done with that!! Now it's grand babies. But I can put them away when I am done playing with em!!

Welcome Back!

Looking forward to that possibility…
Just don’t want it to get here too soon though.

C'mon, man. Let's not start this again. We have a thread devoted to that.

Yes… yes we do

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

I just wanted to thank you all again for the warm welcome I got last night and, apparently, all through the night! I had no idea a thread could move so quickly!

I am loving the pictures and the stories... Makes the loooooong work day go a little quicker (FOOTBALL TONIGHT!).

I will have to take some good ones when in a few weeks when I am at my second home --- POFQ!

I missed when you snuck in here.



Give them Yankee fans… ummmm… Peanutbutter (yah, that’s it)

Have y’all seen the Google Doodle this morning?

It's altogether ooky!

Carl, after our last trip to WDW, we decided against doing TS everyday. We seemed to spend more time ether going to, waiting for, eating, and coming back from TS that we spent in the parks. So, if we are doing a Dining Plan it would be the QS one. Saves time and money and WDW has some great QS places. We will still do TS, but not every day.

I agree totally!! My wife on the other hand, not so much.

We gave up on any DP several years ago. When I did the math, we spent more with DP. Now, we do TS character park breakfast park and TS dinner, including a couple signature TS dinners. But, we like to split an appetizer as a family and neither my oldest dd nor I drink cokes. And, I'd rather have a meal then a dessert. I like ice cream later after the meal has set. DP does not give us that option. We have tried QS in the parks, but DW likes TS so that we can rest. We are in the parks from RD to close. I like the TS meals because KY is not first on the freshest seafood list.

! and your right who wants to eat a dessert with every meal! (they don't have dole whip in every restaraunt!)

Ditto!

Your little ones are not so little anymore!! I look at mine and I swear they were 5 last year!

I agree, Carl. For our upcoming trip, we're NOT getting the dining plan for the first time. My DW has always semi-insisted on it (she doesn't like to think about money when we're on a trip), but it is just too expensive and there is too much food. After doing the math, we're going to use the Tables in Wonderland Card instead. My DS (who is an adult) and DD (who aren't), both typically eat off the kids menu anyway.

that totally makes sense! I just wish we could buy a park season pass and pick a date when it goes into effect so that I could save $$$ on park tickets. I think you have to have a season pass to get the tables in wonderland card.

Hi Carl... that's why free dining has been our travel method of choice.

I agree! Just wish I could get a 40% pin and free dining!

Casey, you gonna get us some pics from Dinseyland Hong Kong?

Haven't been to Hong Kong, but I could post some pics from Tokyo. On my iPad right now (DW's playing Facebook games), but I should be able to post them tomorrow, if I remember... (TurkeyLurkey's got some, too, I think...)

 

[stopher1]

Plus it is a write off!

Exactly.

Now you are just rubbing it in.

So sorry.... not.

I don't care what the haters of the DDC say, that is awesome!!!!!

Yes. Yes it is. Incredible actually.

 

[stopher1]

...and onto the other side of the ocean...

Disneyland Paris,

The Front Gates

Very nicely played.

Thanks!

I haven't gotten through them all yet, but now we need katoot to join in with the other, other side of the ocean as well...

 

[ChrisBrad79]

OK... I need to climb in to some of y'alls luggage one of these days. (Especially if anyone is heading to DisneySea....!)

 

[katoot]

Very nicely played.

Thanks!

Patience! Then again...with this thread, it'll be closed by Monday...I'll try to get them posted as soon as I can...

 

[stopher1]

Skull Rock

Nice.

I still miss the original from DL. That's one part of the old Fantasyland I wish they had left alone. Sigh.

But I did incorporate this into my logo, albeit in a small way. If you haven't seen it... check it out. Just scroll down the page a little bit, under the green offers section.

Unfortunately, I can't find any of my Japan pix....

Phantom Mansion

I sooooooooooooo need to go to DLP.

But, it's on the shorter list... now.

 

[stopher1]

Patience! Then again...with this thread, it'll be closed by Monday...I'll try to get them posted as soon as I can...

I'm patient. I can wait.



I'm figuring out when to go there myself now.

 

[stopher1]

Looks like you're going for #1.

Nah, I don't believe anybody can take out Dave and steal his perch.

 

[stopher1]

Hello everyone! Haven't been on in a very long time!!

But I wanted to voice my opinion on the new dining plan pricing!! Gaaaaaaah!

Hey Carl!

That's EXACTLY what I said when I first saw it.
