DIS Dads DDC XVIII - Spring Fever!

[AirGoofy]

Only 1 more day. This has been a long week. I get home tomorrow, soccer practice with youngest, oldest has dance class, and then we get in the van and head to Hilton Head. This week has seemed extra long, probably because of the pending vacation, 150 miles, and 11 hour days. I will get the new BWV check and contract out tonite, pack, and be ready to go.

i couldnt imagine why? i good friend of mine, hes a year older than i, just got married a few years ago and they just had a little girl last year. (she my 3rd god daughter.) the little girl is a strawberry blond, very cute (im not saying that just because shes my god daughter) but my buddys wife and him were offended in the mall a few weeks ago. they were pushing there daughter in a stroller and a lady walks up to him while he was pushing the stroller and ask, "oh, what a cute baby, gramma and grandpa baby sitting tonight?"

Tonight I'm ordering Bigfoot shirts for myself, my wife and my son Why I want to do a experiment when we go to VA and see how many people comment or tell us a Bigfoot story If response is good we might wear them at WDW at a rope drop and maybe get picked Got to come up with something that sticks out

hey ron, a few years ago briana and i took the keys to the kingdom tour. we were the first tour of the day. we had got there early and there was a cast member standing by the turn stiles. she was there to let the tour people ( train tour, key to the kin. tour) into the mk. she told us we could go in and head over to town hall to register. so we did. the cm who we registered with said we can go for a walk, nothing was open and you could only go up main street and up to the castle. so we did, there was nobody around. we get up to the hub and there is a cm in the fire engine truck, she said good morning to briana and i and asked us if we would like to be the family of the day!!!! we would have gotten to open the park!!! one problem, the tour started at 8am and the park opened at 9am. we had to decline. not to mention, tammy wasnt with us. so theres maybe an angle you could try. first thing adr or first tour, head to the hub and see if theres a cast member in one of the little cars floating around and say good morning!!!!

Remember the firend of mine from work, taking his whole family to WDW, who I tried to help, and didn't really want the help. He said he was going to let the "girls plan it all, so he doesn't get blamed".

Well, guess what...

He called me this morning at 10:00 am...

Him: Hey Brian, what was the name of that Steakhouse you said to try?
Me: Ummmm, Le Cellier?
Him: Yeah, that's it. Where is it?
Me: In Epcot, I thought you said the girls made a reservation there.
Him: I thought so to, but they didn't
Me: I doubt you'll be getting in there. So how's your trip so far?
Him: Great, yesterday we went to "The Magic Kingdom" (Yes that's exactly what he said). Today we are going to Hollywood Studios
Me: It's 10:00 am, do you know how fastpasses work yet?
Him: Yeah, we used one yesterday
Me: Well within an hour all the TSM fastpasses will be gone, and you will have to wait minimum 90 minutes standby. And does your 6 year old grandson like Star Wars
Him: Yeah, he loves it.
Me: Well, if you don't sign up for Jedi Training quickly he won't get in there either.
Him: They are still sleeping, we had a late night last night it was EMH
Me: Do you like firework type shows?
Him: Yeah, it was awesome last night
Me: Make sure you go see Fantasmic! tonight, it's a one of a kind show like you've never seen before. For that you should be there 90 minutes early.
Him: I don't know if the girls want to see that, they saw it last night.



Me: Ok, have a great trip, tell me all about it when you get back.


I hate saying "I told ya so..." and I am sure he will have a great time...but for the 15k it is costing him to take his whole family, children and grand children... I think (seriously) taking a few pointers wouldn't have hurt.

Oh, and he's been using all his counter serve credits in the resort food court. - but he does say the food is awesome.

i learned my lesson a long time ago. if someone ask me, ill tell them "what we do." im going to get one of two answers. one, nah, were gonna wing it or two, what do you mean. what do you mean, ill throw my two cents in. the nah, ill wing it, i tell them have a good time.
after the wing it gets back, they tell me, how can you put up with that three weeks out of a year!! no place to eat and the lines are so long. i just laugh.

No problem;

Everyone having a birthday in the next week or so; Happy Birthday.


There, done.

Excellent job covering for Randall. DisDads are dependable.

 

[dvczerfs]

its just funny, every dvd, special, web site you go on about disney, they all tell you to have a plan.ive never seen one that says just wing it!! i think people look at it like a great adventure or a hershey park rather than a 43 square mile resort.
