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

[Goofy + 3]

I think they're could be about 4 or 5 of us to meet up before the full. I'd definitely like to get together. I'm in B now, but I have a 1:46 half time to submit which should get me into A. I'm just shooting for a sub 4 hour full so it would be nice to start at the tail end of A and have a fairly open (for Disney) course most of the race.

A bunch of the half-guys (that means guys running the half, not that we are only halfway male) are in corral B. Should we start at the back of B or the front? What's the strategy here?

There is a semi-formal itinerary on the other site. Events are also being posted to the Facebook group page. We scheduled this year around Marathon weekend as there were already a fair number of dads that were going to be there for that.

I was thinking about this last night. I know there's the agenda on the other site, but I'm sure guys aren't going to stick to that exactly. Is there something on this site that says where each individual plans on being? It could come in handy.

Had to meet with a lawyer on my DVC issues. Getting him to write a letter for me to cancel my side of the contract so I can get my money back, since the seller doesn't appear to want to close. The seller went from " I'll send the contract tomorrow" in both early and mid December to know responding with "we really do want to sell". It's not that hard if you really want to sell you'd sign the paperwork and fedex it back.

Were you going through the Timeshare Store? Whoever it was, I'm surprised they didn't take up the cause for you a little more strongly. Out of curiosity, what was the contract you were going for?

My strategy is to place myself in relation to how fast I think other people in the corral will be running. I would probably put myself mid-way through B.

Sorry it is has become an issue Ryan

I don't know if I have a strategy. I guess I'll run where ever you guys are standing when it starts.

Not sure if there is... I know this is the first Disney trip I don't have everything planned out. I know where we are eating but my park days are kinda up in the air. I do know I need to be in MK at the same time as Barry so I can cash in on the 'Dole Whips for Life' he owes me.

That is a bunch of bull-loney. I'd be pissed. Are you going through a broker?

We also have a meeting place set up on Facebook, so you might not be aware. 4am, in front of the last alphabetical bag check location (?-Z). So far it's me, Tim, Ryan, Justin and Eric.
As far as strategy - I'll defer to the professionals on that one.

I know with the kid's races and whatnot my plans unfortunatlly differ pretty greatly from the "official" DisDads events. I hope to post my plans over on the Nemesis Challenge thread this afternoon.

Ugggh....Lawyers are not magical. (Sorry Aaron, Chris, etc.)
Sorry to hear about this. Hopefully you'll find another contract soon.

We were going through fidelity. It was for 160 points at SSR. We own 100 points at BLT but I wanted to add a larger contract (budget/resource preferences made SSR the right choice for us for this)

I've been on the phone with Fidelity and they've been good to work with. I think the issue has been on the sellers side. Based on my latest conversations the seller is now claiming they have sent the docs a while ago, but the closing company hasn't received them. I'm giving them till Monday to get the Docs to fidelity before I cancel the contract.

Sorry it is has become an issue Ryan

Hopefully it'll get resolved. I'm just anxious to book our May trip and I'd really like to use these points for that.

When will that be? I think he was going to buy one for his head coach too. I might be making that up.

4am sure is early. That's about when i got there last year and i remember thinking I didn't need to be there so soon. But then again, I'm not in corral H this time. I'll be there. We'll swap phone numbers before the trip to track down stragglers.

There's about to be a thread here in the Dads forum for that. Give me a minute...

I know he's being stubborn about the whole "only buying for Tim and not everybody who's there" thing, so make sure you have an extra one for me from him while you're there.

I'm waiting for him to post his plans so I can be sure to be there at the same time as him.

I know I was at the Jingle Jungle 5K very early too... but I didn't pick up my packet and I wanted to give myself enough time to track it down if I needed to.

Cool! I was thinking starting one too... there might be one in the 'other' place.

How many Dole Whip Floats can I drink before I puke? I bet I can get in 8-10.
