DIS Dads DDC XXII - End of Summer Bash

[AirGoofy]

We made it safely, the AoA is really neat, dropped our bags off and now in line for bus to AK, DD can't wait !!

Glad you made it. We were in DTD, but it was a mad house. Did make it back in time for Wishes, but not from TOTWL.

Wooo Hoooo...

Make sure to watch FOTLK... It's rumored to be closing soon.

I agree it is one of the best shows, but the last time we were, they changed the formula opfor the smoke and it smelled awful. If they are closing to clean or change the smoke, that would be a welcome change.

Norm you got to be like a zombie by now

Luckily, I did not get hunted by anyone.

That would be a mistake on WDW's part. It is the best show on property.

I'll 2nd that! I'd post pics that we got when we went in 2009 but my mac ate those pictures. Now I want to go in Jan if it'll still be around.

It's quite sad but the rumor is that it may be discontinued after the NewYear, doesn't have a date or what will replace it, so only time will tell

Thanks for the info Aaron, When I'm there and enough and a couple Dads are there I think it would be awesome to have a dinner together

I learned quite a bit about this when I was calling to set up the DISDads Club Convention reservation for 50 at Whispering Canyon Cafe.

Brian, in addition to iPhone cases, DTD had case for HTC Evo, HTC something else, and Samsung, but not one for Galaxy or Focus. It was some model I never heard of.

David, DW said your recommendation of dark chocolate pineapple was killed, awesome, wonderful. The line to Giradhelli was out the door, so while we waited in line for ice cream, DW brought the pineapple and we sampled it in line. Yum!

Morning Matt, hope you made enough for two.

Already had a travel mug, but I got a pot almost done at work. C'mon down and you can get a fresh cup.

Hey Everybody!

Wow... I'm WAY late to the DisDads club. How do I become a member?

Welcome Brian!!!

I guess Canadian pilgrims got to the party first!!

I always say it is our celebration of the vikings discovering North America

Hope everyone's Holiday Weekend started out safe and good. Good shift tonight, everyone kept things running smooth, but I was kinda limited, the stress the past couple of days + a nasty little bug going around made things move slow for me, stomach doing all sorts of bad things. Won a prize in our United Way drive contest, we hit our quota for the year with a week to go. A witch's hat filled with candy! Girls already got into it.

Tomorrow starts the prep work, may not be as hard as it seems, but wil be good in the long run. Plan on purging a LOT of stuff. My parents have arranged for us Thanksgiving dinner with just them Monday too, no siblings. Really nice of them.

Today as well, some at work have put a bug in my ear over a minor manager's position out in Sarnia where in-laws live. Have just over a week to think about putting in for it. Would be a huge step though, DW would need a new job, and mass relocation. Cost of living would be a lot lower though. Little nervous about it, going to talk it over with parents, DW, her parents etc. Qualify for it, just a seniority issue, but with 15 years, 11+ full time, might have a chance. Gotta think this one out alot.

Well the good news is if you take the job it should be pretty easy to set up a DISDad meet next time I'm up there!

**yawn**, **stretch**, **scratch**
‘Morning all…

Been looking into homes in Sarnia, in case, and man, for what we pay in rent here, we really could make a go of it.Still lots to think about, will come to a decision by Friday. I'd stay union, keep all my benefits etc, but at a higher pay rate. Another thing I'd have to do is break down and get my licence, overcome my irrational fear of driving.

Biggest thing to overcome though is if I apply and get it, we'd have to prep to move really fast, I'd have only a few weeks before I'd start. not a lot of time to do things.

Sounds like it will be quite the adventure.
Good luck on which ever decision you make.
You know we’ll all be pullin’ fo ya’

As for Twitter, I have an account, but I never figured out how to use it. I saw some really hot babes requested to follow me, but that was about it.

Never signed up for Twitter.
There’s very few celebrities whose opinions and daily travails I’d care to read about.
As for being followed myself…
I suspect that even those “really hot babes” wouldn’t even be interested in following my running commentary.

Up to one of my favorite parts where he goes to met 10 Bears

I reckon so…

Hey Jason! (Jousey)
​

A happy belated birthday to you
and to all that I may have missed since about Friday.

Being as I’m not as good about checking up on them as I ought to be,
Y’all just feel free to forget about mine

We made it safely, the AoA is really neat, dropped our bags off and now in line for bus to AK, DD can't wait !!

Fantastic!
Hope both of ya’ are having a wonderful time.

Wooo Hoooo...

Make sure to watch FOLK... It's rumored to be closing soon.

Interesting… I wonder what they’d replace it with?

I’ve seen the show many times and always enjoyed it. But that doesn’t mean that Disney couldn’t replace it with something as good or better. We’ll have to see if that rumor pans out and what the change might be. There actually needs to be a bit more going on in the Camp Mini-Mickey area.

David, DW said your recommendation of dark chocolate pineapple was killed, awesome, wonderful. The line to Giradhelli was out the door, so while we waited in line for ice cream, DW brought the pineapple and we sampled it in line. Yum!

Sounds right tasty…
Since I missed the original suggestion, where abouts in DTD can one find these morsels

Hey Everybody!

Thanks Randall

I have lots of pics from the show and I have taped it as well. Last summer (2011) I was even selected to lead the warthog section.

Morning Gents. Happy Thanksgiving

And a happy Columbus Day (“observed”) to you sir.

DW found it at Goofy's candy store at DTD marketplace. Ther are also candied apples there.

Thanks… I’ll have to pay closer attention to the offerings in that establishment the next time we’re on site.

Hope y’all have a great day in the parks.
We’ve been enjoying the live TR in my house thus far.
Thanks for sharing.

I am far from a child specialist (about as far as you can get), but I would recommend getting down on here level, and very nicely asking her why she is acting the way she is. Try to find out the cause and see if you can come to a compromise.

Wish I had more to help...

[10dedfish]

OK..... It wont let me post the correct link. all I get are asterisks. Go figure. Ok, on to the "other site" and I will post it there.

Brian, in addition to iPhone cases, DTD had case for HTC Evo, HTC something else, and Samsung, but not one for Galaxy or Focus. It was some model I never heard of.
