DIS Dads DDC XXVI: They all went to the DDCC and all we got was this Lousy Thread!

[Twin Dad]

Good luck with the new position. We're all rooting for ya.

Hopefully it is more money, shorter hours and plenty of time to spend on the Dis boards.

Thanks. It would be more money. The hours would be 8pm to 4am so being better hours would be subjective. The healthcare package is better than my wife's and we'd only have to spring for daycare 2 days a week.

I put in for an open full time position at work. Hopefully it comes through.

I just want to say good luck. We're all counting on you.

 

[that's nice]

Nice job! Keep moving up, then you can pay for our (DDC) disney trips!

Well, my Canadian friends, I may have spoken too soon about us being up that way. We were thinking of taking a little Spring Break trip up to see Niagara Falls with a Toronto detour later this spring. But I may need to hold onto that cash, because...

Our wait list came through, and we'll be able to stay at Aulani this summer! Now I just have to pay for it.

I haven't told my wife yet. Her birthday is next month, so I think I'm going to make it a surprise for her then.

Congratulations, Mark!!!!


Now we just have to hope that Mrs. Knowitall doesn't decide today is a good day to spy on the DDC...

Remember that whole "I need to pay for it" part? In other words, no.

Congratulations, Mark!!!!

I thought about updating my TR but then I realized she'd see it there. I'm fully confident this is a safe spot.

Congratulations!!!! We always talk about the big island, but never seem to pull the trigger. Sounds like a great birthday present. My birthday is in August. Just sayin.

Congratulations, Mark!!!!

That would ^%$%^ if this was the one day she checked over here. We'll just blame it on CJ. Come to think of it, he hasn't responded to my PM. Maybe the sharks got him this weekend.

Morning gentlemen. You guys sure were chatty. I'll just pick up here.

Hope everyone made it through the snownami alright. The pics are incredible keep them coming.

I put in for an open full time position at work. Hopefully it comes through.

Good Luck!

I'm critically on the fence about Disney on Ice this year. It comes to town every February. and we've gone for the last 3 years now. My kids love it and it's inexpensive.

This year, it is in town 4 weeks before we go to The World. I'm currently worrying (more than I should) that going to Disney on Ice will detract from the Disney experience since my son is Mickey Mouse obsessed and has never seen the real thing before. If he sees him (and all his friends) right in town, it'll be less special when we meet them at THEIR house.

or maybe i'm just over thinking.....HALP!

Well, Hawaii is no Toronto, but good nonetheless...good score!

Hope it comes through. More money is usually a good thing.

I might be in the minority here, but I just can't justify the expense of going. Any time DW has taken the kids, it's been from winning the tix.

Congrats, but have you really thought this through? You surprised her with Animal Kingdom for Christmas, now Aulani for her birthday. I wonder what she will be expecting for your anniversary.

Aw, too bad. We're going in June.

I guess we could always go to Chicago. Mr. Burns of the Simpsons calls it the "Miami of Canada".

That's great Mark. Hawaii will be an awesome birthday present for your wife.

Well, she knows about Hawaii. Just not the Aulani part. Up till now we were trying to find a good spot for a tent on the beach.

Congrats, but have you really thought this through? You surprised her with Animal Kingdom for Christmas, now Aulani for her birthday. I wonder what she will be expecting for your anniversary.

We'll be in Hawaii on our anniversary. So I'll just get her a t-shirt.

THAT'S when he unleashes the mighty awesomeness of Niagara/Toronto !

We're heading to NY in March with some friends and we'll have 4 kids (2 boys 2 girls) ranging from 6-11 with us. We'd like to see a show while we are there. We're looking at the Lion King, Spiderman, Cinderella and Blue Man Group. The only thing holding us back from booking the lion king is that it seems to be substantially more expensive than the others. Does anyone have experience with any of these shows?

I would skip it this year since it is so close to your trip and use the $$ for more magic in Disney. I agree your son should be allowed the experience to meet Mickey in WDW first. I go with DD every year to DOI, but it was only after we had seen them at WDW.

We enjoyed the show this year, but would not have a problem skipping it if we were heading to WDW within a month or two. Just an opinion. The other question is, How would your other children feel about missing the show? You need to consider them as well. Makes it a tough decision.

Seen both loin king and blue man group in nyc and I would go again to either in a heartbeat. If you can swing the extra $, Lion king is hands down the best production I've ever seen and is visually stunning.... and I saw it before I was a Disney nut.

We saw Lion King off Broadway last year and while it was still great, the NYC show was phenomenal due to the scope of the animals they use.
