DIS Dads DDC XXIX: We’re Over 750 Dads, With A Disney Problem!

An office in Bermuda? What kind of company was that? Drug cartel? Arms dealers? Tax evasion banking specialists?
Of any of the above, the fringe benefits package must have rocked.

Second, are you crazy? Out of Boston? We had friends cruise out of Boston last year and the first 2 days were 10 foot seas. Here's hoping for good weather and smooth sailing.

Sounds like the time my wife and I went whale-watching out of Bar Harbor in Maine.

‘Morning all…

We’re in the middle of the process of selling off our home of the past decade…
Between that downsizing effort and the normal spate of unreasonable demands at work, it’s been a might hard to check in over here. Hope all are well (well “most” all of you anyway). I’ll try to check in a bit more often while things are calm, but those moments are running a bit scarce right now.

I did see this though…

Nice work Brent.
And I think I heard something about y’all being chosen as Grand Marshals for some kind of parade or other, but I don’t think I saw anything else about that… Oddly, I think that whole page might have been blank (save for this picture of course ).

Morning guys!



Let me know when you're in Boston, I'll try to head into the city and meet up!

Where are you staying in Bermuda, off ship or on? I had an office there for a number of years and have stayed at most of the hotels on the island, there are some nice ones!

First, congratulations on the FL trip.

Second, are you crazy? Out of Boston? We had friends cruise out of Boston last year and the first 2 days were 10 foot seas. Here's hoping for good weather and smooth sailing.

Last, no need to hope. Let me know as soon as you have your dates what home date works best (the more notice the better). I'll grab the Sox seats behind the plate for you. How many of you will there be? I'll get the tickets for a game. I'll try to get enough so we all can go.

The Cubs are in town the first of July so we are trying to get to the game on July 2nd. We'll probably take the train in that day. There are 6 of us that will be going on the cruise, 3 couples. Are they tickets your company has Jim? Let me know what it would cost us.

We stay on the ship at night in Bermuda, should be a relaxing cruise. As for 10 foot waves, that's nothing. We had a night of 20 foot waves a couple of years ago. It was a fun night.

Or a simple 45 degree turn when peeing....

Ooops.... did I splash....



Clearly I've thought this through already.

Remind me not to stand next you in the bathroom.....ever.

Scott's morning picture

"Poised on the threshold of infinity, we see our world as it truly is: small, silent, fragile, alive, a drifting island in the midnight sky. It is our spaceship. Our Spaceship Earth."


And Dave SUCKS

That's awesome Brent!

 

[BigTikiDaddy]

Wow that was like The Holy Grail of WDW trips, How will you ever top that trip

Probably can't, but want to go back and try..

Great pics Brent! Our CD is "in the mail" as they say.

Ours took slightly over a week, and that had to come all thye way to Canada!

It's a good thing the river froze over or the dog sled never would have made it up here.

Heading 8 miles north so you can pay the in-state tuition?

Because you just didn't have enough to do, right?

Maybe it's time to break out the flying reindeer again...... works for that other guy

Saw Santa on vacation at the POP while eating there one day, didn't have the camera with me though. Girls were with me too.....Amelia was skeptical, almost 9, so she's slowly clueing in, but Audrey wanted to go after him.

Did he look like this?

Nope.
Across town (hopefully) into a house half the size of the current one.
But that tuition thing is one of the driving factors in the decision.

Came close to crossing the border but we just couldn’t bring ourselves to actually do it.
That’d be like you moving a couple counties south…
It just ain’t happening.

Yah… that’s it.
My life was just lacking excitement.

Seems like you are high on some magic dust while typing this.

My 9 year old stopped this year as well.

In the past week or so we have put two trips in place for next year. DW's parents are planning on renting a house in Kissimmee next March so we will spend a week with them. Given their new found like for WDW I think we will get one park day as well as a day or two at Universal..

More importantly, are you taking me with you? 2 trips is good.

I'd work for any of them. It has to be an improvement over what I currently have.

Congrats. I'm looking forward to selling mine in another decade.

I have never been selected for grand Marshall and that would be difficult to top, but i say that each year and then we top it. You know about the pirate bandanas that one year, and the next, we got to be in the FOTLK parade. The magic is there.

Morning gents.

Kids are tying their shoes and we're off to DS' s all day specialist appointment to see what is up with his ear.

Safe travels and prayers all is well.

When you put it like that, I totally get where you're coming from.

The only thing is, that state to the north probably doesn't want him there even more than he doesn't want to be there.

But they'll gladly take his out of state tuition money!

The tickets belong to a friends company. I know I can get at least 4. Let me see if I can get 6 or 8 (they have a total of 14 in different spots). Would most likely be in 2 spots, but both are great seats and if so desired everyone can switch half way through. It's a long way off so I'm pretty sure I can get them.

I have never paid for tickets to a Red Sox game and don't plan to so most likely no cost. OK, maybe a dole whip or two some time. I know I can get at least 4 at no cost. I'll start working on it now.

Who do you think you are quoting yourself?
