DIS Dads DDC XX - The Quest for More Bacon...

[Emma's Dad]

Don -

I have to work both Tuesday and Wednesday next week until 6 or so. So we'll have to meet up in the evening.

Which day are you doing Soak City?? If I remember correctly you did the 2 day ticket with Park one day and water park the second day.

DW and the girls will most likely be at Soak City both days, maybe you guys could get together while I'm stuck at work!

Work smurk... just take those days off and blame it on me! Pay included of course!

I believe we are planning to do Soak City on that Monday, the 2nd. Then if we have energy we'll do the park that night, too. Tuesday will be an early park day so we can get in and do the popular rides first. I could use a good touring plan here.

That would be great to have the girls join us if they can make it! Emma enjoyed the girl's company! I forgot to tell you, but the next day after our dinner together we were eating lunch and Emma was not very hungry. She had chicken fingers and fries and couldn't (read "didn't want to" here) finish... so she looks at us and says "Can't I save the rest for the girls?" At first DW and I didn't know who she was talking about. Then she explained that she was going to save them for your DD's because "They eat everything!" Too funny!

So Dumbo now has fastpasses... Kinda makes that whole interactive queueing tent pointless...

 

[RodBelding]

The story may be a little deep for a 4 year old...

Good to know. Thanks

Rumor has it they're adding a bunch of fastpasses in places that probably don't need them (i.e. Nemo in the seas @ Epcot) as part of the next-gen Xpass idea...

I hope Journey into Imagination gets one. That 5 minute wait can be a killer.

I wouldn't mind seeing one installed at Aloha Isle...

Hey Chris! DD has been begging me to take her to see Brave. She is 4, and not a huge fan of scary stuff, but loves most of the disney pixar stuff Do you think she'd enjoy it?

Our DD is 6. She enjoyed it but she climbed into my wife's lap for some of the more intense part. The story didn't seem to be as accessible as most of the other pixar movies.

I hope Journey into Imagination gets one. That 5 minute wait can be a killer.

They've also revised it so that if you use the fastpass machine for Stitch's great escape it shreds your kttw card on principle.

I heard they took the FastPass Machines away from Stitch. They were going to put them where they could do some good - allowing you to get a FastPass with a return time to get in line for Toy Story Mania FastPasses. Just imagine - being able to get a Toy Story Mania FastPass without having to wait in that huge line!

Would be fun to watch and see how many people did go get one though!

I wish I could take those days off...but I'm already taking some "sick time" off for a couple days to make it to the DDC convention.

Touring plan...hmm...

I would hit Millenium first and then make my way back to Maverick and over to Top Thrill Dragster. It takes you all the way through the back of the park, but those are the big three that fill up fast.

Then hit Raptor, Max Air, Wicked Twister, Windseeker, Magnum XL200, Gemini, SkyHawk....etc..

Too cute about Emma wanting to save some food for "the girls". It's funny because we call them "the girls" all the time!

I'll be sure to let DW know that Monday is Soak City Day.

Awesome! Thanks for the quick touring plan That sounds like a good one to follow.

I wonder how many other dads are wishing they could show up for this...

I've never heard of Soak City...

Go and have a 10 hour work day and ya'll get chatty.

: Too funny!

I sent this to my boss. He said I still have to work.

I thought Dumbo had FP already. Is it new? I wonder if they added a single rider line.

Yes. Now, if they could cool down the skunk smell. After so many sprays, smelling it as soon as you get on the ride defeats the purpose.

They've also revised it so that if you use the fastpass machine for Stitch's great escape it shreds your kttw card on principle.

Worst ride ever.

What is this Soak City you speak of?

Dumbo never had fastpasses... hence the long lines that were always at Dumbo.

Beginning in July, guests will be able to experience an array of fun-filled family games and interactive wonders inside the Big Top interactive queue before taking to the skies on this Fantasyland favorite. Guests in the Standby queue will head into the pre-boarding area to play while they wait. Guests using Fastpasses (located at Mickey's PhilharMagic) to experience the attraction will skip the Big Top and head straight to the ride.
