Morning guys!!

Seven years ago today I was blessed to become the father of two beautiful, smart and precious little girls :thumbsup2

Happy birthday to them!

Ahhhhh, but there’s the rub… almost every thing is a wait down there.

The problem is that there is much there, but it’s mostly chains of one type or another and the density of the crowd makes almost every thing a wait. I’ll ask my family and friends the same question and let you know if they think of anything better.

Thanks a lot for all the pointers, though, and there may be some opportunity to make some drives out away from the mob scene that it sounds like this area will be. We're planning on eating at the condo for breakfast and lunch, and dinner will be out somewhere. How far "out" is really just a matter of what sounds good. Thanks again! I do appreciate it, and all the other recommendations, guys.
 
Last sleep in my comfy bed at Jambo. Anyone want to lend me some points so I can stay longer? Anyone? Why do I hear crickets?
 

Just a quick question, which logo is the official one for dis dads? I may have the opportunity to get window clings made and want the right one. Would anyone be interested in this?

DW wants to tell the DD's tomorrow. She wants them to have a month to anticipate. I still would like to keep our WDW trip a secret, but that's really not going to happen.

It's like déjà vu all over again.

You know what? I'm gonna do it. I'm donating all of my points to you, CJ. :thumbsup2
 
Speaking of Mother's Day.....

Do any of you have any "disney-ish" ideas for a Mother's Day present?

I've traditionally always purchased the DW a "bead" or two for her Pandora or Chamilia bracelets...I'm trying to think of something new this year.

I will luck out this year. DW said that between WDW and a garage, we're not doing Mothers Day / Fathers Day to each other. And, unlike stories I hear about some DW's, when mine says "don't get a present" it means "don't get a present." So, I will luck out there.

Just finished book 2 of the Wheel of Time series. It's very good. And there's about 13 books I think, so it should keep me occupied for a while. Maybe even until the next A Song of Ice and Fire book? okay, probably not that long, but it's still good to find another great fantasy series to read.

Someone told me the author of Wheel of Time died with 2 books left to write. I don't know if that's true, or if I'm confusing it with another series, but that's what I think I read on Wikipedia.

And George R.R. Martin needs to get writing. He's looking OLD, I hope his ticker holds out to finish the next 2 books!

And the next step is the cost comparison between year long DVC and a home at Golden Oaks.:thumbsup2

Had we won the $600,000,000 Mega Millions, we were going to buy in Golden Oaks. But, we didn't win, so that dream died.

And, on this lovely Friday morning, I'm headed to work, and the DW is home with kids for the start of her "vacation." She's done teaching until her summer programs start, but between vacation packing, house cleaning, and keeping 4 kids alive, it's not really "vacation" as much as "working your tail off for a month."
 
Both options are very appealing. 3 vacations sound great. But, staying in a 1 BR sounds great.
Be careful, my friend. Staying in a 1 bedroom is a slippery slop. You'll never want to go back to a studio again.

Although I'm sure someone has a higher resolution version.

DW wants to tell the DD's tomorrow. She wants them to have a month to anticipate. I still would like to keep our WDW trip a secret, but that's really not going to happen.
Surprises are fun - we've only been able to surprise our kids with a Disney trip once. (See the "Houston, We Have a Secret" TR link in my signature).

You know what? I'm gonna do it. I'm donating all of my points to you, CJ. :thumbsup2
Ummm....Mark? Those points I loaned you for this July? I think those fall into the category of "yours." I'm sure CJ would love to stay with you guys. Just make him sleep on his head like Dave.

Good get.

Good morning :cool1:

Heading to the zoo today. Have a good one fella's :thumbsup2

Have fun. I hope they let you out.

Flying or driving? We kept it secret driving to the first FL turnpike exit.

Very lucky man.

Oh, and 189 days 21 hrs, and 37 minutes until we leave for WDW.

Which means... 9 days until ADR day!!

Matt

And you already have your ADR plan ready. Going to share or wait until you book them?

That was my plan. Then, it would be easier to convince DW to buy more points. She said 3 studio vacations. So, I'll just have to live with that.
