DIS Dads DDC XV - We put the "FUN" in dysfunctional! Christopher's thread...

[DEA]

I don't think so, there is so much left today and I can hardly keep up as it is. Was 15 pages down when I signed in tonight. So hard to keep up on my phone when I can only get on at home, unless I start driving like everyone else I see on the road w one hand holding the phone the other the coffee and the other lunch.

Driving home yesterday, I saw, for the second time on the DC Metro-area roadways, someone driving while eating soup. Out of a bowl. With a spoon. Okay, let's face it, if you're eating soup, any other actions are an afterthought.

DW called me during lunch. Apparently, I have to buy a plunger on the way home from work...

At least, as you are out of the house, you can't be blamed for clogging up anything.

Ahhhh... only 30 minutes to catch up on the thread today Hopefully the admins can figure out why it's been slow lately.

They left the parking brake on.

I actually like having the flexibility of not being tied into DVC. Still, I have to admit there are days when I look at it and think, "Man, that would be nice..."

I've had good luck the past couple of years renting DVC points from DVC members. You get the accommodations without the initial outlay, or the yearly maintenance fees, both of which are scary for the budget right now. Diverting some cash to pay for the points rental over 11 months is less painful right now. But someday...

Even more awesomer.

If you really are lucky, you can even find some contracts in the 30-50 range, and through banking and borrowing you could make them work as well - if you don't want to go every single year.

The "if you don't want to go every single year" phrase that you used... I can read the words, but cannot comprehend the meaning...

DD (the 4yo) woke up at 4:45am today. And stayed up. You might be shocked, SHOCKED to learn that she fell asleep at school early in the afternoon. I got her to sleep at the usual time tonight, and have my fingers crossed that she actually sleeps past 5am.

Finished watching Moneyball. It was pretty good. Jonah Hill has come along way from Super Bad

When I hit the 180 day mark, I think my best bet is to call out sick or go in late that day, since I'm not staying onsite I'm pretty sure I have to call all the ADR's in, and since some of them are not on the Dinning plan like Schuala's I think I have to make a ADR with them directly

And then of course I have to make a ressie for our haircut

Roughly about 750 miles round trip. Normally, it's only a 6 mile trip, but we would have to travel down to Green Bay to pick up the vehicle. We're only going to just inside the MN border, but we have to go across the widest part of WI....

Pretty sure you mean 600 here and not 6...

We've got Moneyball to watch tomorrow night and I'm looking forward to it. Glad to hear more good things about it!

Last weekend I had to end a conversation with my wife's cousin's husband, he was asking me about WDW since they will be in Fl for 2 weeks in Feb.

He wanted to know how far the value resorts were from the park compared to the monorail resorts

So I said it depends on what park you are going to

He responded with what else is there besides the MK

I have a friend coming over for dinner this weekend.

He has never been to WDW, and is going the exact same days as us...

I am helping him with the pre planning, picking his parks, and ADR's.

He is starting to get it... but I know eactley what you mean.

Another friend of mine from work told me she is taking her family down in May, they are going to Disney, I asked what parks, she said Both of the Universal ones... I told her... "Ya know those aren't Dis....aw forget it, say Hi to Mickey for me."

looks like he could use your help!

I told him to go to MK & AK since they are bringing 2 small children (6m & 2yrs) and being that they like to sleep in, any info I'd give him besides the basics would be confusing to them since I'd be on a whole different playing field, so I told him to go talk to another one of my wifes cousins who went a couple months ago for the 1st time that I gave info to, but they were more motivated to do things and they had a blast, my idea was if he talked to them he would catch on to what they had to say faster since they were only there once

 

[Disney Commando]

To make my touring plans work All my ADR's have to be 1st dinner seating & haircut at noon

 

[stopher1]

Awesome. Makes it easier to save for retirement.

Yes it certainly does!

 

[stopher1]

That is AWESOME! What an important and thoughtful thing to do for his Grandkids!

When we first learned about it... we were like this - then this

then a little of , and finally we did this

and when they finish we'll do this
