DIS Dads DDC XXI - Passing Time Until Our Next Trip

[DisDadDoc]

Even after meeting us? Wow.

Don't get too big of a head, Julie carries most of the good influence in your family!

DW's phone is working. The rice worked.

Great!

Haven't been here for a while. Not much energy until today to do much except lay on the couch. Missed a bunch of stuff and know a few guys are up there or are going up there (or down there for everyone north of Miami). Have fun and safe travels.



Good to hear. DD did that to one of her phones but we didn't know about the rice thing.

Spent three hours at the doctor's office to get the Pirate Princess' health form signed. The idiots that run the office lost her transcripts from the pediatrician. They had to get them faxed from the old doc. Took forever.

Did see my doctor as we were leaving and he didn't recognize me at first. Haven't seen him in a year and needless to say, I am a different person than when I was recovering. Back slaps all around.

Have to try to catch up later tonight.

That's great CJ! (not that we waited 3 hours, but that you looked so good that your doc didn't recognize you!)

Setting up the firepit for a bonfire tonight! S'mores for everyone!

Good to hear about your doctor stuff. Bad to hear about your dd's paperwork. I think you secretly coerced her to Seton Hall so you could keep the name of Pirate Princess. WILD-cat Princess wouldn't have sounded so nice.

Told you that rice was a wonder! Good stuff.

I thought your advice was not to get it wet.

So you thought my advice the other day was stupid.... But I bet you followed it.

You threw the rice away... Right?

[runs in through the clubhouse door]

[trips over empty beer can next the the couch]

[gets back up]

[jumps up on chair]

I'm leaving for Disney World in 2 Days!

[jumps off chair, lands face first]

[gets back up]

[runs toward door]

[stops dead in his tracks, swipes a piece of bacon of Brian's plate]

[runs out clubhouse door]

Epic Fail. You did not grab a beer out of the fridge. Would have gone good with the bacon.

Doesn't look like I will be able to do a drive by meet on the way back. Have to stay an extra day at SH so I can help her move in.

Awesome. Trying to work out a meet with Brian and Ron. Hope to see you down there.

With all you guys going the same time, that could be trouble. Don't give us a bad name before the DDC. We want to start out with a clean slate before we give us a bad name.

I was gong to post which news I would hear from first, but the mechanic called and it was the starter that was the problem. Still haven't heard from Dr., but talked tech into giving me a 'preliminary' reading and it was no broken bone. Hopefully, that will be the official later good news.

Read about the ankle, car, phone and all around crappy day. Glad things are working out OK. Starter sucked but considering...

Ditto, but I'm leaving in about 4 hours!!
But I'm not going to Disney World I'm going to Pascagoula! (I'm thinking of how many of y'all won't be able to pronounce that the first time through...) <bummer, no EVIL smilie
About 12 days away from home, but at least I'll have the new Jeep all to myself, minus 4 days on the ship.

Great. I guess. Have a fun time. Lots of good eating along the Gulf Coast.

He was happy to see the progress. Big difference from when he first saw me.

Her choice, not mine. Think I want to spend that money? Funny that she was wearing the patch when the recruiters came to school. Natural selection I guess. And no, she would not have been a wildcat, bulldog or volunteer. Not if she wanted it paid for.

No, we cooked it. I'm mailing it to you.

.

With an oil change, it cost a little over $200. So, not too bad. I'm waiting to see what insurance pays for x-ray.

Very interesting....

Give a bad name? Disney doesn't care as long as you have a dime in your pocket.

Quick trip update. On auto train now. Horrible trip down here. 5 hour trip took over 7 hours because of truck accident on I95. Just barely made the train. Thank goodness we gave so much extra time. Conductor said a number of people missed the train because of it. Way too much stress to start the vacation. But they have wine on the train and I'm feeling relaxed now.

Chris' storm must have double backed thru KY. We are getting the high winds now.

Glad you made it. That would be stressful. Enjoy the wine and the rest of the trip.

What is this? Is Canada invading Lake Buena Vista, FL?

Not all, Darcy and I are minding the shop. At least I'll have elbow room now.

DW's phone is working. The rice worked.

Good news!

Jo finally heard back from the adjuster, the car is 100% repairable. It'll cost them a small fortune to repair, but it's still cheaper then replacing. We'll have ot back in a few weeks. We are going to get a better rental till then on Saturday. At least we know now, I'm happy with it, I like our car, don't want to let it go after less then 8 months!

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes on safe travels. I am currently in the Hampton Inn in Rock Hill SC. Beautiful town and awesome hotel. Found a coupon at the Welcome Center for $89, great deal when you consider the full breakfast in the morning. We just ordered some pizza and wings from a local place called Marco's from a recommendation from the front desk. It's on it's way!!

To the other dads that are going to be in the world I just finished sending a PM to Barry about hooking up with you guys at DHS at rope drop. We are actually taking kind of a crazy trip and are staying at ASM, rented points at SSR, staying at CSR and lastly POR. My DW is also a TA and wanted to test run a few places we have never stayed, so I am just along for the ride!!

Good job on being prepared! Totally sucky to hear about the accident! Now go relax... don't do it.

A few weeks, huh? Let's start that timer and see how it goes Glad you are getting a better rental!

Darn the luck. You're such a trooper to tag along with your wife. That sounds like a whirlwind trip. Hope you get a chance to eat at the Turf Club at SSR, great Prime Rib for the $, and a beignet at POR (or is POFQ?).

See if Jenny is still at 8675309

I had to start humming the tune and that number sounds right. I didn't think you were old enough to remember that.

Not a bad deal, I love going to the welcome centers for the coupon books...we saved a bundle that way. You made a good distance for day 1.

Yeah, Jo hates driving that Nitro, and it doesn't feel right. I don't care about banging my head going in/out etc, it'll just be a couple of weeks. They figured 16-18 days to repair it all. At least no frame damage, most of the cost is to replace the side airbag. If it goies longer, meh,. we don't pay for the rental. And at least at this rate, we don't lose the Disney decals on the back.

Do we have time to change the locks?

 

[declansdad]

Do we have time to change the locks?

I wouldn't worry about it, most of them think it is snowing up here and wouldn't be willing to risk it.
