[Captain_Oblivious]

Trust me. Your kids will love it.

I'm sorry. You guys are just too darn loud.

Well, if the washing machine wasn't dead... I just finished it off!! time to start looking for a new one. In the meantime, I guess I'll be heading to the laundromat.

You heading out today or tomorrow Brian?

We are flying out of Rochester NY tomorrow evening.

Free wifi rocks!,


Just checked in to ASMu! Kiddos and wife are settling in and we are getting ready for dinner, no sure where yet. We did on line check in at home, there is a separate line for this and was very quick. Waited about 5-7 minutes to get a CM, one person in front of me. Got to a CM and room and package were ready, just showed ID and I was done! About 3 minutes!!

We are in building 8 which is kinda far from the main lobby, but we will see how the buses and all goes.

This is a big factor on our decision to drive down next year, rather then fly. (Part the reason we were anxious about the car). We last drove down in 2003, and I loved the experience, mind you we didn't have kids yet. We are giving ourselves an extra driving day though, I don't drive, so DW gotta do it alone, and we'll need a few extra stops for bathroom breaks for the girls and for them to run around a bit.

Have a safe drive in the final stretch!

We split it in two, I drove the entire way, my wife does drive but I didn't find it all that bad. If you split in 3, it's about 7-8 hrs a day, no bad at all

Aaaarrrgggg!
Dude, you were five miles form my house.
You didn’t say that your were coming that far south or that it was via I-77.
I could have brought you some donuts for the trip or better yet…
have escorted y’all to the best barbeque ribs in the area.
Marco’s is pretty good though.

Y’all have fun down there at Disney, ya’ hear.

.

That sucks, maybe next time because this is our new 1st day stop, nice area. BBQ would have been awesome, I will hold you to that for next time.

Marcos turned out to be very good, we all enjoyed it.

Try to get into the Cabanas at CSR Been there twice and enjoyed both times. REALLY want to try POR some day. In any case... sounds like you are going to have a blast this trip!!

we put the request in on online check, hopefully we get it. So far we are having a blast, thanks.

Great news. We Disneymooned there 12 years ago.

How did you finish it off? Shotgun? Bat?

I'm sorry. You guys are just too darn loud.

Turn it down!

We drove when the kids were 6 and 4....

They were very well behaved, we brought lots of activities, colouring books, snacks, and movies (portable DVD players).

He reason we didn't drive again is.... It is a long drive for only one driver. DW does not drive.

I drive most of the way. DW gives me a few hour nap and drives. You have a lot a further way to go though.

So does that mean the bad news is... she will be back next summer?

I hadn't thought of it that way. Does Steve know?

 

[AirGoofy]

Came into work this morning... No phones no internet, one of my computers isn't working and our security alarm keeps randomly going off.

How long until 5 O'clock?

Sounds like a productive day. Why do you need to wait to 5?

So I've decided to undertake a project. It'll be an ongoing thing, hopefully. I've decide to do sort of a video blog. I've had an account on YouTube for more than six years, but I only have one video uploaded. I plan on rectifying that with videos on life in Korea. I hope to show off some of the culture, the area around me, and what raising twins is like in a multiracial family. Not sure yet how often I'll be uploading videos, but I hope to make it a regular thing. Just don't expect good quality...

Sounds like a great idea.

.

DW had those pancakes. She loved them. I tried a bite. Not bad, but I'm not big on nuts.

I had the tonga toast. It lived up to the hype.
:

Only with the strawberry from Kona. It doesn't include strawberry stuff at Captain Cooks, but you can get them with a side of Dole Whip.

 

[AirGoofy]

It's sleepover tonite. Thankfully, only one kid. She is better behaved then my own children.

Ummmm....


TICKER CHECK!!!!

How long until 5 O'clock?

It's 5 o'clock somewhere...

First thing to come to my mind. It's currently in the store's music playlist so I hear it daily

DW won't drive. So it's all on me if we do it. DD handled the ride fairly well, with the only exception being that she would suddenly blurt out that she needed to go to the bathroom, badly!! Seriously, kid? you can't give me more warning?? There was one instance where we didn't make it.

DS was another story. He didn't like being couped up, so stopping to let him get out and run around a bit was necessary.

If they would all sleep in the car, I'd consider driving at night. But unfortunately, DW doesn't seem to be able to sleep in the car.

So, as long as the extra time it takes to drive doesn't take away from our time at WDW, then driving is something we'll consider. Our next trip will probably be short and hopefully we can get good airfare.

We drove when the kids were 6 and 4....

They were very well behaved, we brought lots of activities, colouring books, snacks, and movies (portable DVD players).

He reason we didn't drive again is.... It is a long drive for only one driver. DW does not drive.

Untill recently, the girls have been barely able to handle the three hours to Sarnia, Audrey in particular, but over the past year they are startimmg to settle down. We will have the portable DVD players for them, some simple car games etc. Maybe not the colouring books etc, Amelia used to get carsick, she couldn't handle a DS in the car, but we might see if she's improved. I will no doubt get the girls involved in my favorite car game, the Roadkill Game! (Basicly, we chart the roadill we come across, yep....fun AND educational!) It boggles the mind to think on the way to Disney we encountered 125 dead deer alone! I'm stoked for it, We'll go 77-95 going down again.

We are flying out of Rochester NY tomorrow evening.

Awesome...I've looked into Rochester.

We prefer the three day split. I want to take n the scenery, I love the countryside. Get on the road early, lunch, gas/rest stops stop just before it gets dark, dinner and sleep.

Should we have the extraction team on standby?

[BigTikiDaddy]

Craziness...they are finding body parts in the Credit River, somewhere north of my store. Just what we need around here,,,,

 

[DisneyDaddy-O]

Just got back from dinner, we chose the olive garden, about 15 min drive from the hotel. Wifey insisted we got some salad into us, so we did and were full before dinner came.
Came back to the room to drop off the car and rest up. We have EMH at MK until 2am! : we are going to take the bus tonight, I'm kinda sick of driving...

That was why we started driving at night. They would be asleep more than 1/2 the time. Now, we leave around 3 so they sleep about 1/2 time. It is hard on me to stay awake, but better than screaming at them the whole way there.

Should we have the extraction team on standby?

No. It is only 1 kid. I need to be extracted from my own on a regular basis.

Just checking in after another crazy day getting the Pirate Pain in the Gluteus Maximus for school. We leave Monday morning and are just now getting a lot of the things she will need. Hasn't even started sorting her clothes, let alone wash and pack them. She is on her own now. Monday morning we are leaving and if she doesn't have it in the car by then, she will do without. Told her I don't want to hear, "I forgot to pack this so can I get it here?" NOPE.

Relaxation tonight is watching the Phins play Carolina. Looks like another long season for the fish. 17-0 end of the fist.

Checked another piece off our cruise list for March. We purchased tickets down, flying from Portland Maine to Melbourne Fl. First time in to this airport now we just need to find a flight back.

Just watched Shark Week - top 25 ultimate bites. Some amazing footage of sharks taking the camera filmed by the air jaws team

You're a softy. You'll ship it or send her money to buy it.
