DIS Dads DDC XXI - Passing Time Until Our Next Trip

[twokids0204]

Have a great afternoon! Hopefully your drive down doesn't look like this:

I am getting a head ache just watching...


That and the song that never ends...

 

[Chris the CPA]

Happy Birthday Hunter

Good morning guys.

 

[BigTikiDaddy]

Have a great afternoon! Hopefully your drive down doesn't look like this:

Make sure you put on lots of sunscreen for the Harry Potter party. Forecast in Hamilton today is 33C and 41C with humidex. For you guys south of us, that is aboout 92F and 106F with humidex. No wonder trips to Orlando in August don't seem to bother me that much!

Ugh....think I'll watch from the windows. I'll take the heat fine, but it's the sun that gets me. As for the car ride, it's Mom and the grls in the back. Dad and I'll just ignore them. Besides, knowing the QEW, they'll be bored looking out the window as we crawl along at a snail's pace. Already packed up the sunscreen too

Hey guys. Hope everyone's enjoying their Saturday.

Last night I downloaded the new My Disney Experiance app on my Ipad, It is really cool, I havent tried signing on and checking wait times yet, but the graphics and features are really cool, the only issue is theres some lag when scrolling but isnt that big of a deal and will prob be fixed in an update, now I have to hope they will have an andrioid version before we go in OCT. , also alittle bummed cuz I still held on hope that the new FL expansion would be open when we got there (pretty much knew it wouldnt be but still held on hope) and seeing the annual passholder press release confirms it. We will have a blast no matter what, gives me a reason to plan our next trip before DD starts Kindergarten next year.

Hadn't heard of that app. I'll have to go check it out now!

Just a quick pop on to check the weather and see what I missed. Have to get back to DS. Too much time on the Wii and that means migraine for him. See I didn't miss much, but happy birthday Hunter! Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

Hey guys, great day hanging with Norm and his family at the Indianapolis Children's Museum. We finished it off at the old famous Gray Brothers Cafeteria. He has the pic so I will let him post it

Today is my son Hunter's 7th B-Day, the main reason I do what I do in WDW, He is my ride buddy, we might do TT 13 times or Jungle Cruise 9 times during a trip, but it's all about him when we go:good vibes, I can plan all I want but in the end I better be able to pull off what he wants to do over and over again, this is why we get to do so many park hours, if he's happy he doesn't want to leave and it's a win win for all

Happy birthday Hunter

Hi dads...

Party went well, the usual organized chaos my family brings. I got to stay shaded with dad, so that was good. All the kids (mine, my bro's, plus a few of his friends kids all ran around like monkeys, lots to eat etc. We are home totally exhausted now, my head is splitting, too much fresh air

Just in time too, there's a roll of thunder...

You guys now thunder doesn't hurt you right?

54 days to Disney, I can't wait to leave for a weekend in Disney. Then a moth later a week with DM and DGP.

Storms don't bother me, unless I'm outdoors...it's the lightnning that gets ya

I bought you as much time as I could.......

 

[twokids0204]

I bought you as much time as I could.......

I appreciate it...



I am going to let Norm have this one, as it will likely still be going when I leave in 14 days.

It was a great day. Thank you for your hospitality, and thanks for the cups and pens for my dds. I'll get the pics posted tomorrow night or Monday.

Was the thunder from the family?

Make sure you put on lots of sunscreen for the Harry Potter party. Forecast in Hamilton today is 33C and 41C with humidex. For you guys south of us, that is aboout 92F and 106F with humidex. No wonder trips to Orlando in August don't seem to bother me that much!

It stinks when the weather is hotter locally than in WDW.

Happy Birthday Hunter.

Thanks...too bad the ground was so brown, looks better after some real rain. Last word was fire ban not lifted yet. Everywhere that sells S'mores stuff has them super cheap, no fires to make 'em . This is our big summer trip on off-disney years. Thinking of getting a weekend in September to see the fall colours, and a weekend next year if we can sqeeze out the cash for July to offset the 2 1/2 weeks in August for disney.

We've used our gas grill outside for s'mores. Not as fun of fire, but it still works.

Last night I downloaded the new My Disney Experiance app on my Ipad, It is really cool, I havent tried signing on and checking wait times yet, but the graphics and features are really cool, the only issue is theres some lag when scrolling but isnt that big of a deal and will prob be fixed in an update, now I have to hope they will have an andrioid version before we go in OCT. , also alittle bummed cuz I still held on hope that the new FL expansion would be open when we got there (pretty much knew it wouldnt be but still held on hope) and seeing the annual passholder press release confirms it. We will have a blast no matter what, gives me a reason to plan our next trip before DD starts Kindergarten next year.

ANother great part of the WDW trip is planning the next one. I think the Dumbo and a few other things will be open.

Nope, everyone had a great time, no kid meltdowns either, my bro's eldest daughter is severely autistic, and you can never predict what will happen, but she seemed to have fun, actually, she has been getting so much better at our little get togethers, adapting well to the stimulas. My SIL did an incredible job decorating and comming up with all sorts of ingenious Harry Potter things and games

We've used our gas grill outside for s'mores. Not as fun of fire, but it still works.

We can't have a gas gril in the building...we will likely micro some up tomorrow during our bad-weather movie marathon.
