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

Saute it with some olive oil and garlic. Add crispy bacon and some red onion and you have a pretty good salad.

You rock. I sauteed it in the bacon grease with lemon. Very good but I'll try the garlic and onion with next week's bundle.

Was streaming MouseRadio on the computer at home today (trying to get the little one off watching his PBS shows, I think he's getting a little too attached to wanting the tv on) and he got curious about the park music. So I queued up some POV videos of the parks (Innovations ride, Splash Mountain) and he was bouncing up and down with excitement. He's only 6 months, and I think Figment is his new best bud now.

Hang in there. You'll make it. After awhile your body does adapt.

Morning...

Enjoying a bit of quiet, girls are still sleeping, and I can't seem to fall back asleep. DW left early for work, with the Molson Indy on this weekend, the road closures in Toronto (were she works) is horriffic, took her over two ours to get to work yesterday, when it normally takes 45 minutes.

Only 4 days left of Staycation I, already feeling the twinges of dispair that I go back to work Tuesday

Any luck adjusting to the sleep patterns yet?

That's awesome! I've been on a MouseWorld Radio kick recently while getting ready in the morning (i.e. now). It's nice wake up music with coffee.

Have a good one, gents.

[that's nice]

August 5. My wife and I will be attempting to ride ToT 13 times. Feel free to join in!

How long do you think this is going to take you?

To my son....

Happy 9th Birthday SETH!

 

[GrandAdmiralStrife]

A Very Happy Birthday to your son. You can't go wrong with Star Wars and Disney.

Adjusting to the new schedule is fine, so far. Ask again in a few days

I've decided to cave and tell the DW that I'm plotting to take the family to WDW next summer. Should I go for the last 2 weeks of August and hope for discounts, or go for 2 weeks in the middle of Sept, figuring that if everything stays as it has the past few years score the free dining.... also, my parents are coming down from NY to visit next weekend (first chance they've had to see their 1st grandson in person) and I'm going to try to talk them into going with us next year... you know, so they can spend quality time with their one and only grandchild

 

[declansdad]

Morning Guys, TGIF!!!

Happy Birthday Seth, maybe Dad will take you to WDW for your birthday.

Brent did the flooding have any impact on the Molson Indy? I thought some of the streets were under water.

I have low paying, mostly low stress government job, at least until every fiscal year to see if we are funded for another year. Then' it is low paying, high stress government job"...

Mine tends to be somewhat low stress other than the budget issues over which I have no control and the politics which you get everywhere. Pays better than some but not when you consider I spent 9 years in college and then a 3-year postdoc. Giving up a dozen years of earning potential isn't something I can ever make up in this field. The best benefit is it tends to be somewhat flexible so I have time to spend with the kids. No cash to do anything but at least we have time.

Nice!
A “Figment” fixation is certainly better than a “Duffy” fixation.
And as purple “dragons” go, it also beats the heck out of “Barney”
(or is that annoyance so old that you young wiper-snappers don’t have to worry about that maddeningly sappy T-Rex anymore?)

‘Morning David.
Nice view… it gets better as the day goes by, but it’ll do for now.

Ugh, I still have to get thru tonight and tomorrow night, I work Tue-Sat, so my weekend doesn't start until 7am Sunday

Ouch… OK, so the view ain’t quite as nice for you…
but then again, you a have a different perspective on Mondays the most of the rest of us.

To my son....

Happy 9th Birthday SETH!
​

A wish for a very happy “last of the single digit” Birthdays to Seth…



And congrats to you for being that much closer to having a house full of teenagers…


And…

I’m gonn‘a have to keep a copy of that GIF handy for future use.
That’s a keeper!

Mid-September will be less crowded as all of the school calendars will be in full swing by then.
Disney is very aware of that fact as well and tends to offer up better discounts to fill the parks during that time frame.
Either way… enjoy the trip (if you can pull it off… keep stirring the pot).​

I *may* do it once. Twice - probably not. 13 - you're insane! (I know why you are doing it, but still - insane!)

Insane like a fox! Or is that crazy like a fox? Whatever.

Barry not only is insane, but the DSM had to develop edition 5 to capture a new diagnosis for Barryism.

I flipped to that page the other day. All it had on it was this--->

Hook 'em while they're young.

How long do you think this is going to take you?

It's all going to depend on the crowds. But we should be able to "borrow" the kid's and in-law's FastPasses to help speed things up. We could be done shortly after lunch, or could be going well in to EMH.

September. Enjoy going in the off peak times before you start having the "should we take him out of school" worries. Plus, it could be a bit cooler there, so that will help with the little one. We took our first daughter to WDW when she was 7 weeks old. It was a blast!

EDIT: I see you're from Austin. Never mind what I said about the heat. You'll be dealing with that plenty back home.

You rock. I sauteed it in the bacon grease with lemon. Very good but I'll try the garlic and onion with next week's bundle.

Bacon grease beats olive oil any day if you can get away with it.

Well done. Start him early and Figment isn't appreciated as much as he should be.

I prefer September but anytime is better than not going.

Morning all! What's up today?

 

[mm1971]

Somebody needs a vacation

I do! I do!

I *may* do it once. Twice - probably not. 13 - you're insane! (I know why you are doing it, but still - insane!)

DD has put it on her list of things to try this August. Will do it once with her and that's about it. Now the RnR I could do all day.
