DIS Dads DDC XIX - Squirrel!

[FreezinRafiki]

Sign me up. I put all the Dad info. on the DIS Dads introduction board but I will give a quick recap.

My name is Nick. I live in Ocean Springs, MS with my wife of 7 years and our 3 children (2 girls - 5 and 3/ 1 boy - 1). We have been to WDW 3 times since we married and have our 4th trip planned for Feb. 2013. Our family loves everything Disney and I am the biggest fanatic of the bunch. Its nice to see I am not alone in this obsession.

Oh, my birthday is May 9th.

Welcome!

Peanut Butter Beverly!!!!

Left my kindle on the airplane!!!

Left my laptop on a plane once. Got all the way to the Beach Club, checked in and up to the room. Started unpacking, wondered why my backpack was so light. Kids learned a new 4 letter word that day.
Called Southwest - they had it at the terminal desk. Just needed to drive back, get a gate pass through security and picked it back up. Good Luck!

I've thought about doing that - pulling over in the rest area to get a couple hours of sleep in the car on the way to WDW. DW says that it is not safe, so I just drive thru the night, she gives me a hour or two nap while she drives, and we make it that one day. I am really tired that first day, but at least we are at WDW.

We've done it on the way back a few times. We can make it straight through on the way down running on pure Disney excitement. One time on the way back I pulled into a rest area in Kentucky - let the dogs do their business then took a 2 hour snooze in the van. Another time I made it all the way to Indiana before sleeping for a few hours. I'm not so worried about security as we have the 2 dogs in the van. The old saying is that their bark is worse than their bite - well, there bark is still pretty darn scary.

As usual… I’m somewhere in the middle.
Considering the severe cramp that work put on my DIS time in the last several weeks, I’m surprised I have that many posts.

I’ll do the official stat once this one actually closes.

Thanks Rob!

Don's just getting it taken care of before he leaves for the beach for a week.

Wait - doesn't Don live at the beach??? .....Oh - wait - just a different beach.

That is pretty close to the conversation I had with DW when she first brought up this trip.

DW: "We really need to go see Myrtle Beach."
Me: " Ummm... why? We live 15 minutes from our beach."
DW: "That's different."
Me: "?? Last I checked a beach has water, sand, and hotels."
DW: "Shut up."

The things we do for our spouses!

Thanks to all for the welcomes and belated birthday wishes!!!

#705 sounds like a good number!!!

I see that payments can be made in dole whips, bacon, beer, or cake. Can they also be made with pieces of my sanity? I don't have much left but what I do have is valuable!!!

Well, I will see all of you over at the new thread - XX (Dos Equis - a great Mexican beer)!!!

Think we can unseed Norm from Top Spot?

 

[twokids0204]

Not impossible... but not very productive

Not productive... but somewhat rewarding

Dang... and I am busy today too...

 

[twokids0204]

Anyone want my password... just to overthrow Norm?

Please post anything...

 

[twokids0204]

On Second thought... probably not a good idea to share my password...

I saw what happened to George Costnaza when you gave out his password...

 

[twokids0204]

Ok... I don't remember what happened to George, but I do recall an episode about it.
