DIS Dads DDC XXI - Passing Time Until Our Next Trip

[Urugami]

That My Disney Experience App is great.

Doesn't appear to be in the Play store yet. Come on Dis.. get with the times!

Evil incarnate. There are two kinds of snakes. Live and dead. Dead are the only good kind.

No. Even they aren't good. They're just less bad.

Did the boot color match the Tux?

Yes it did. I even wore a black sock under it!

Thanks to NBC's live streams, I've been able to watch some of the "lesser sports" that they never show on primetime and everyone always complains about when we're fed our steady diet of gymnastics, swimming and the occasional women's beach volleyball (not that I'm complaining about that one). And I've come to realize - they don't show these sports for a reason.

Kind of like trampoline. I only want to watch that event if it is done as it was back when Jimmy Kimmel was hosting The Man Show.

I think some of the more fast paced things are pretty exciting. Handball, table tennis and badminton are cool. Rowing? Weightlifting? No thank you. Boxing is only interesting to see how corrupt it is.

You want to talk about corrupt... how about badminton?

Nothing near as good as CJ's pics....here are some from the week at the cabin. Didn't get the camera out like I used to...

Looks like a fun place to spend a few days!

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. At least that was just athletes trying to get an edge. With boxing, it's dirty from outside the ring which seems more sinister. I'd just like to see MMA as an Olympic event. Those athletes are already from all around the world and it would get great ratings. But if they make boxers wear headgear, I don't know what they would do to try to keep MMA fighters safe.

Your cabin looks a lot like our cottage. Same kind of low-key getaway. Instead of cribbage we spent a lot of time playing MahJong. I just learned how, but it's a lot of fun.

Any chance to break out that cribbage board really Any mahJong I know is from playing on the computer. DW tried teaching Amelia Dominoes too. We had a decent sized TV, so hooked up the DVD player and we had movies too. Got a lot of reading too. Finally read The Hobbit in preps for the movies.

The cabin is a former trailer converted to a permanent trailer. I remember when the trailer was installed 25 years ago! We were friends with it's owner and her grandkids. Lot of memories from all the years up there (37-38)

Congratulations. You made the Barry joke before Barry.

That My Disney Experience App is great. Thanks Dave. Now, if it would just link to my reservations. Think you can get that taken care of?

If you have a Disney.com account it will link them! Oh, you are the ultra cool DVC owner so it can't handle your awesomeness.

I like the idea of making/canceling ADR'S.

I heard on a podcast today they will be testing the FastPass reservation system next week with selected guests at MK.

To even be mentioned in the same post as Barry is an honor

I remember that. You'd think there'd be more skates-in-faces, but thank god there isn't. Clint Malarchuk's had to be the worst.

No doubt. Whenever someone talks about a scary injury, I tell them to Google Clint Malarchuk if they want to see a SCARY injury.

What a crock..planned the day around the weather, called for afternoon rain and t-storms, but the clouds have broke and lots of sun. Might call an audible tonight and head down for the evening swim if it stays like this. Even with the air going, the sun beating down on this place is heating it up fast.

That was the best part of the show.

Saint of a family? Who's been bribing you?

I don't see my reservations on there's, but it did link to my WDW account.

Great Pics. Love that Cribbage set. Used to play cribbage with my dad, often while we were on vacation. Thanks for bringing back great memories.

Where is the cabin located? Looks like a cool place to hang out.

I vote to call for the audible. We got slammed this afternoon.

The twins started doing a karate match this afternoon. I've got no idea where they learned it from. They watched some Judo yesterday but this was kicks and elbows. DS caught DD across the jaw with an elbow. DD countered with a kick to the sternum. They were not super violent. They were WWE style hits, just barely making contact.

It's at a place called Almaguin Campground, up north of Huntsville in Ontario's Near North Area. It's west of Algonquin Park. http://www.almaguincampground.ca/

We've camped there (under various owners) for 36-37 (something around there) years now.

Audible called, it's not going to storm here any time soon, pool is open 6-7:30, so going to get the girls suited up. We are supposed to be slammed hard Sunday.

I'll gladly accept, but you don't owe me. I am happy to give me $.02 anytime, especially when it has to do with WDW.
