DIS Dads DDC XVIII - Spring Fever!

[BigTikiDaddy]

Sound like a busy day there.

Is the Old Spaghetti Factory the one down the block from the Organ Grinder? When I lived in the GTA my parents used to take us kids to the Organ Grinder every once in a while. Was always a fun time and we used to love to join in the sing-a-longs.

Not sure if the Organ Grinder is still around, but I think it is....

I think this needs to be updated, Don...

It was a good day, so you know, SOMETHING had to happen Audrey had been commenting about her ear bothering her, so we've been watching her. She just woke up SCEAMING and in pain from it, sounds like an infection? No fever from what I could tell though. All the walk-ins are closed now, so DW just took her to the hospital. She will likely be there ALL night too, last time we had to take her, it was an 8 hour ordeal Should have known, she's been healthy for far too long a strech for her.

We saw Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked, it was my first Alvin film - was actually pretty good.

glad you had a nice time

His package was intercepted by the girl in the next car...

Norm's dream ownage...

Coolio....new thread.

What's up fellas?

howdy

When I got home today the old thread was still up and running!!! Take a nap and we have been evicted and already set up a new residance...Good Job Don for not letting us remain homelss!!!

Yesterday we got our income tax return Today we found our we have to replace the heatpump! Easy come easy go!!! One unralted note I called the bank to inquire about refinancing our mortgage...the old interest rate ws 5%...going to lock in for 15 years at 3.12%...gonna go ahead and borrow enough to pay off both cars and heat pump and it will still ower our current house payment over 100 bucks a month!

Congradulations on everything Steve

I see that Avaitarland might be cancelled ( I didn't like the idea from the start) What they should add is some kind of boat ride like Journey of the Amazon or Nile

thank my prayers this is going in the scrap heep!!! there were better names for this hopefully something with the super heroes ???

Now if they could come up with a indoor roller coaster based on one of the ones that P&F built in the cartoon, with the music and everything, now that would be money well spent

what is P&F

I got them....hoping we cash in soon!!! Golden Oaks is calling my name!!!

I will be there with you steve maybe we need someone to take the trash out for us ?? hint hint ?

Going to another gift auction tomorrow night, looking to bring home a good haul

good luck wish they had a few by us ? they sound cool

Hello guys..we're finally home on a LONG day. The Science Center was a bust, way crowded, more then it was for March Break last year. The rain they called for must have driven people to indoor activities (it barely rained BTW). It felt like a busy Disney day, lines for everything. We gave up after 2 hours, went down to the Eatons Center (big mall) for a while then dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory, just beating the dinner rush( we were seated in two minutes, when we left, huge lobby crowd. Nice meal, it's an OLD spaghetti restraunt (I remember going there as a kid) with the old knickknacks all over the place etc. Walked to the Rogers Center from there (used to be called the Skydome) and caught the Disney on Ice show (Dreams come True). Pretty good show, kids loved it and were surprised by it, Audrey laughed and jumped around at various parts. Kids were EXHAUSTED when we got home poor things, so tired. Well after all those sleepless nights over the past 6 years, tough!

sounds like a long and exciting day glad you guys had fun

Local news reports Manning has scratched the Dolphins of the list of potential teams. Now they are scheduled to talk to Flynn after his Seattle visit. And the drama continues.

this sounds like it is going to be a LeBron Lottery maybe ESPN should do a special on where he is going to LOL

Wow, great news, even with the heat pump factored in!

I've only made first page once.

I think I made the first page once. Although I may have gotten in Don's way?? I can't remember!

BTW... thanks Don for getting the new thread up so quickly. Looks like we needed it!

is it too early to start a PTR for a trip from jan 27 - feb 1

[baseballmickey]

Can I join this exclusive and presitigious club?

Exclusive and Prestigious?? I think you have the wrong place.

but "WELCOME!" just the same!

What??? but I was so looking forward to seeing my name in big letters in WDW!! Maybe instead of a whole land, they can give Avatar a ride or experience with a really cool queue. (and my name in big letters)

 

[baseballmickey]

Yeah. Thanks.

That makes 9 now that I've dominated. I think it's time for a break. Let someone else win this one.

Uh-uh. You say that now. Just wait until we get past the halfway mark and someone is ahead of you... I bet soon after that we'll start seeing plenty of pics!!

 

[baseballmickey]

Thanks. I have to take what I can get. No way I can out post Stopher.

Congrats on getting the last post!!

 

[baseballmickey]

Gee, left work at 4:00 on the old thread and now we're on page 7 of the new one.

Should have called it "More Padding than Jr. High Prom"

Jim Hill just talked about this on the occasional podcast he does with Len Testa from TouringPlans.com/WDWToday. According to Jim, the plans for the Monsters, Inc. coaster at DHS are pretty much complete. They're just waiting for sufficient economic turnaround to get budget go-ahead to build it. Apparently, Disney was expecting the new version of Star Tours to cause a measurable attendance jump at DHS, and the only attendance bump was for about three weeks or so right after it opened. Seems to me like that was a pretty unreasonable expectation, particularly for an attraction refurb (as opposed to a totally new attracting). I mean, I LOVE the new Star Tours, but it's not like there were legions of Star Wars fans out there just waiting for a better Star Tours ride before coming to DHS.

and SW fans already have SW weekends, so I would think most would just plan their trip for then and kill two mynocks with one asteroid.

It was a good day, so you know, SOMETHING had to happen Audrey had been commenting about her ear bothering her, so we've been watching her. She just woke up SCEAMING and in pain from it, sounds like an infection? No fever from what I could tell though. All the walk-ins are closed now, so DW just took her to the hospital. She will likely be there ALL night too, last time we had to take her, it was an 8 hour ordeal Should have known, she's been healthy for far too long a strech for her.

sorry to hear. hope you get more efficient treatment than the last time, and that Audrey is feeling better soon.

what is P&F

 

[baseballmickey]

all caught up. Late night at work tonight. Bosses in town again, and they insisted on treating us to dinner after the show. I wish they had informed us of this plan earlier so I wouldn't have already eaten dinner before the show. Try as I might, I couldn't avoid eating more. The only sensible thing I did was to only drink water. This may seriously hamper my ability to hit my weight-loss goal for this week?? I guess I'll find out tomorrow afternoon.

excited for first softball practice of the season this weekend!! It'll be great to get out and throw the ball around.

 

[baseballmickey]

and what the heck... while i'm up posting, I might as well get an

OWNAGE!!

for good measure. good night. see you all tomorrow (or later today, actually)
