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

[DisneyDadC]

You think I would waste valuable cell phone minutes on Carl?

ouch

 

[Maroonag1]

I have the Windows phone too (Samsung focus). I really like the OS, real radio, and the Windows documents usage. But, I like having all the Apps on the iPad, and iTunes is way easier to use than Zune. Still, be a PC or iPad, MDE is not very user friendly". And, to make it even worse, I have to link it to the DVC side.

Agreed, it was a pain even making an ADR. Ended up having to call to to get it fixed. Cant imagine try to get DVC to work. One day I hope to be an owner and can find out.
For now we are Worldmark owners and will find out if the Orlando resorts are as nice as the Texas ones we have used.

I thought the penguin encounter was just a regular attraction? Back to the planning itinerary. We'll be there on the 26th of August. I'll have to see if we can get it booked.

The penguin encounter exhibit is a regular attraction, this is a tour that gets you on the other side of the glass It is a 45 minute tour with a trainer you get to feed and pet some penguins, but be prepared for sticker price shock,

If you PM Randall, he can add you to his text list when the new thread is ready. I don't, but I'm on here way too much.

I feel like that's cheating.

I am honored.
As for the training, you're not letting anyone down. I'm happy to watch more of you run. As for me, that just makes more room on the couch for snacks. I plan to start training as soon as there is a magical pill or invention that will provide for all my weight loss without any effort on my part.

I always said that I hate running. What I really hate is getting into shape so that I can run!

Major internal debate...
Go to bed or...
Watch SharkNado on my DVR. Seriously, I struggle with these types of decisions.

I think you'll end up asleep either way...

I agree, you know when you put something on late it seems you fall asleep after the first few minutes

 

[Twin Dad]

Good morning gentlemen.

 

[Maroonag1]

Good morning gentlemen.

Mornin'

ouch

Can't believe you would led that jab go by unchallenged.

Which ones are Worldmark? We're done with timeshare add ons for awhile, but I always keep looking.

I always said that I hate running. What I really hate is getting into shape so that I can run!

YUUUP! Which is why I don't even try to get into shape. I'll gladly cheer you on by drinking a beer for you.

On the road so I didn't have to leave at 6 AM tomorrow for a meeting. Went from a dry county to a dry county and only passed through dry counties. At least I get TV and AC for a change.

I get a 2 hour drive to Louisville for a 2 hour meeting to drive home. Not only do Friday meetings stink, driving more hours than than the actual meeting s think even more.

Good morning everyone....

Today is supposed to be the last day of this miserable heat wave, here's hoping....

We are going to look at the bounce ack too, that being said DW has asked me to price out Disneyland and a short WDW trip+DCL as well

Sent from my iPhone using DISBoards

That's good news! Let's hope it's a good offer. We talk about trying DL, but never seem to get there. DS is in 8th grade and all the club and AAU sports kind of take up a lot of the summer vacation time (last weekend of baseball coming up). Once he gets to high school I think we may take a DL/Hawaii combined vacation. That way we can break up the travel time.

DCL is not on the radar since none of us have ever taken a cruise and seasickness concerns are always there. Maybe we'll try a short one some day.

 

[mm1971]

Very quiet tonight...internet must have melted in the heat....

Funny story (well not for the wallet). My DS has been going to baseball camp this week in the blazing heat. The location has all turf fields so he can;t wear his metal spikes. He wore his plastic ones yesterday and it was so hot that the spikes melted and are half the size they used to be. Unbelievably hot on a turf field when it is sunny and 95 degrees. The good new is we are supposed to break 100 today.

I have the Windows phone too (Samsung focus). I really like the OS, real radio, and the Windows documents usage. But, I like having all the Apps on the iPad, and iTunes is way easier to use than Zune. Still, be a PC or iPad, MDE is not very user friendly". And, to make it even worse, I have to link it to the DVC side.

I have an iPhone 4S and not sure I could go back since everything is so easy.

On the road so I didn't have to leave at 6 AM tomorrow for a meeting. Went from a dry county to a dry county and only passed through dry counties. At least I get TV and AC for a change.

Travel safe. AC is nice. TV and AC is awesome!

It can't be any more than Discovery Cove and the dolphin swim. We booked that already and get free admission to SeaWorld and Aquatica along with DC. Sticker shock seems to be normal activity in my house.

Major internal debate...
Go to bed or...
Watch SharkNado on my DVR. Seriously, I struggle with these types of decisions.

We stayed up and watched Sharknado. My DS kept telling me how stupid it was, but sat on the couch and watched the whole thing. I guess the so bad, it's good description is accurate.

Good morning gentlemen.

Good morning everyone....

Brent. We have today and tomorrow with showers cooling things off later tomorrow and them a few days of high 70's/80 on the forecast. Being the 3rd heat wave already here this year, this one really didn't bother us much. We had hoop practice outside, camps all week for the kids and outside activities in the evening. I think I'm ready for WDW in August.

I caught the last half-hour or so of Sharknado. It was like a car accident--I couldn't look away. DW and I found it hilarious.

The one we are at is Kingstown Reef on I-drive, the other one they have is Reunion farther south on I-4

Thanks. AC was nice. TV I really don't miss.

‘Morning all…
Waz up…

“Sharknado”? Had to look that one up (I’m pretty good and missing most things hyped on the Telle).
Low and behold… it’s exactly what the title would imply. I believe I’ll pass on that one. On the upside, it appears that Sharknado II has already started production. You get to watch another train wreck next summer.

I heard they are bringing the cast back to make sequel. Not sharks this time, but something else. One of the best things is if you watch where the water always seems to be, there is not boundary holding it in, but it is still there. Pretty funny how a house can be full of water, but it completely dry all around it and such. Yes, I watched the whole thing, even when he chainsaws himself out of the shark.

The one we are at is Kingstown Reef on I-drive, the other one they have is Reunion farther south on I-4

Heard Kingstown Reef was nice from others that have stayed there. We have always stayed on property since it has always been just 4 of us. You'll have to send us a review after your trip.
