DIS Dads DDC XXV: It’s a Special Holiday Episode of the DISDad’s Club

[RodBelding]

Thank you, Norms play by play was awesome wasn't it


Thank you, I read on the boards, I should give it about 2 weeks before calling member services to set up my online account, does that sound about right?

Sounds right, though I don't really remember how long it took...


Congrats again!

Congrats. Hope you enjoy DVC as much as I have.

Monday park question of the day for all DISDads out there:

For our upcoming trip we are on the QSDP, so we're looking at getting the most bang for the buck at each of the parks. I've done some research... but I want to get all ya'll's opinion on this. What is your preferred QS location(s) at each park? (lunch and/or dinner... we'll probably use a snack credit for breakfast). Here's a shortlist of what I'm gunning for so far:

MK - Columbia Harbor House and Be Our Guest
Epcot - Sunshine Seasons (FW) and La Hacienda (WS)
DHS - Starring Rolls and Toy Story Pizza Planet (we've got a lot of kids in the party...)
AK - FlameTree and Y&Y

Thanks gents!

I too agree with the CHH choice....and definitely upstairs!

At EPCOT, I've heard good things about Tangerine Cafe in Morocco or the Katsura Grill in Japan.

At DHS, I've heard good things about the Backlot Express and their new Buffalo chicken nuggets.

Here's a review at the Disney food blog...http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2012/...tudios-now-with-new-menu-and-buffalo-nuggets/

Upstairs at CHH is the only way to go!

I had the buffalo nuggets... The flavor was good, but I think they make them up ahead of time and leave them soaking in the sauce for quite a while. Mine were awfully soggy.

Not being able to use your points because you already have WDW trips booked is a good problem to have!

Beverly. Teachers claimed they did not know Audrey earned the penguin, so they gave it to a boy who raised more money. Odds are looking good that the "fish" will disappear and we lose out on the ipod. DW and I are really P.O'd right now. She is going to work tomorrow on the company and the principal about this. School is having their 1 day strike tomorrow, so no school for the kids, DW is staying home with the kids and has time to do it. Between this and her school pictures misplaced, I am getting a little peeved at how the kindergarten is going.

I think I've seen part 1 of this cliff hanger three or four times.

So you don't know how it ends?

I fully agree, the march trip we rented points because i knew nothing would be available by the time i was able to book and are staying at BLT and the Oct DL trip , I didn't want to risk not getting the days we needed at the 7mo window for VGC so rented again, going to rent or transfer the 2012 pts to cover the VGC rental cost, but prob will bank the 2013 for a 2014 Christmas / DD birthday trip

I never saw an episode of Walker Texas Ranger.

Wow, this public school stuff isn't sounding like a good idea for next year lol, DD will be going to the same school I did, hopefully she gets more out of it then I do, good luck with this, I've heard schools can be really frustrating for parents, I can't wait!!!

You didn't miss anything

Great info! Thanks Andy.

Agree on DHS... really struggling there. Maybe we'll ditch dinner and head to DD after Fantasmic! and hit Wolfgang Puck's... heard good things. Also want to try Earl of Sandwich.

Earl of Sandwich is a must each trip for us. I love the Hawaiian Sandwich and the Tomato soup is great too!!! Anohter plus is that compared to normal Disney prices it is cheap!!!

Fatigued by listening to the news, tonight is TCM WWll movie night. Operation Tokyo with Carry Grant is on and then one of my favorites Battleground. Nice break from current reality.
