DIS Dads DDC XXII - End of Summer Bash

[AirGoofy]

Norm have a Great Trip

Will do. I had to plan my Easter trip as well since I fell into the 6 month ADR mark. I booked everything I wanted:

Sat
Cape May Breakfast
Shula's Steakhouse

Sun
Il Mulino

Mon
Wolfgang Puck Dining Room

Tues - Epcot EMH
Akershus Breakfast (8:20 AM)
Nine Dragons

Wed - DHS
Brown Derby

Thurs
ESPN Club lunch

ESPN doesn't take ADR(s) and I couldn't figure out how to do Fantasmic Package or if Brown Derby was included. Will have to call tomorrow and see. I also have to go into work to submit by travel voucher, return home and pack, start live trip report, and sleep before we leave. The excitement is building. I ran about 10 minutes tonight at soccer practice - which is way past my limit - so I should sleep well tonight. Goodnight Ned!

Nice Your gonna like Shula's, they don't advertise it but they do have a kids menu

 

[DisDadDoc]

You know, you really make it seem like a lot of fun.


Well, the official MAN LAW just says you have to have it done before you leave on your next trip.

But in real life practice, you can see that there are several DISdads that tend to think that certain MAN LAW is more what you'd call a guideline than an actual law.

Yeah, it's a good thing! Otherwise most of us would never get a second trip!

Snagged some good reservations. Haven't eaten at Il Mulino so let us know how it went. Have fun and some good eating.

 

[disdadIL]

That's a pretty accurate description. If you wanted to itemize a couple of things you could add

1. We had dole whips
2. We rode the monorail? or as my nephew says "the mommorail"
3. We went to Ohana
4. We avoided stitches great escape
etc...

Except I was at Disneyland. Pre report - the Mad T Party is flipping awesome!!!!!

 

[moose615]

The DISDad platform - a Disney vacation for every family once a year.

How did it go?

So, May 2018 - definitely maybe.

Well I didn't win anything, not even a t shirt so I guess the price was wrong for Philip, but had a fun time watching the show and like Norm who could be down when your about to be at Disney, Norm, y'all be careful getting down, hopefully ill see ya Sunday night and if not then Monday night for the party. Looking forward to meeting you and your clan.

Norm, CJ.....

My wife and I had a date night at Il Mulino and it was pretty good! It can be a little loud inside though, so definitely not a place for a romantic atmosphere.

Bring lots of $$, it can get expensive quickly!


Mornin all!

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

‘Mornng all…

Time to get busy.

Yum. If I wasn't leaving for Disney tomorrow, I might drive up for a slice.

Hope y’all have your “Most Magical” trips yes.
Wave as ya’ drive by.

Yeah, it's a good thing! Otherwise most of us would never get a second trip!

It may take me a week or two between updates, but the current one will be done before the next Disney trip (that’s for sure )

But since the current one isn’t about Disney any way, I don’t figure the rule applies

Finally back home and back to work which I am not pleased with. How long do I have to write a TR?

This is man world. We discuss man topics. MAN LAW!!! Below is our list of MAN LAWS as decreed by members:

• You can't go on your next Disney Vacation until you finish the TR from your last one. Or at least it's an Emma's Dad Law. (Reference)

Man Law says you have to finish your TR before you go again, it doesn't say you have to do one!

Sunday we will be at Fulton's for dinner and some pin shopping at DTD and then back to BLT. If it doesn't work that day, see you at the MNSSHP Mon for sure.

Been up since 5:30, but still can't beat you to the boards. Maybe I'll post while driving down this AM to get you.

Thanks for the info. I checked out their menu and they were quite pricey. But, my goal is to try all the different restaurants, so we'll give it a whirl. The frutti de mer risotto sounded good.

Have a great time, both of you. I hope the meet up isn't a disappointment for either of you.

It is in Disney World. That goes without saying.

My last road trip to Disney World, I got my phone out and popped in to check the boards early in the morning just north of Atlanta, only to find that our thread had been deleted and a few dads were banned from here. I hope you have better luck than I did.

...and thank you so much for bringing up such a painful subject. While you're at it, why don't you give me a nice paper cut and pour lemon juice on it?

Good idea. Then we can wash it out with salt water.

Yikes. Someone didn't have enough coffee yet this AM.

I think I ended up going with the Veal Saltimbocca. It was very good. For the price, I was expecting a side of pasta and that is not the case. My wife and I ended up ordering a side of pasta to share between the two of us.

The complimentary bread and artichoke spread is very good - as is the complimentary lemoncello at the end of the meal!

After a bottle of wine - the lemoncello made us feel REAL nice!

 

[AirGoofy]

I'm trying this live trip report thing. The link is in my signature. Maybe I can post some pictures of rest stop bathrooms on the drive down.

One of the nice things about WDW is having that transportation after that bottle of wine. That trip is still a long way off, but I'm glad I made the ADRs.
