Tower, this is Ghost rider requesting a flyby.

That’s a negative Ghost rider, the pattern is full.

Just got an update from tourig plans on crowds for my trip dates
August 19, 2013: Disney's Hollywood Studios Crowd Level updated from 2.0 to 7.5.
August 21, 2013: Animal Kingdom Crowd Level updated from 1.4 to 7.5.
August 23, 2013: Disney's Hollywood Studios Crowd Level updated from 1.5 to 6.5.
August 23, 2013: Animal Kingdom Crowd Level updated from 1.1 to 5.5.
does it seem strange to have that large of a correction? The resort levels only went up by about 1 point a day during that week. most of the other corrections were 2-3 points and that makes sense with the 35% off offer that just came out but 5-6 points seems excessive

I'm too cheap tp use TP< I use a free one instead...

Hey Paul and Dads in the northeast.

Saw last night that JetBlue is going to have 2 flights out of Worcester. One to Orlando and one the Fort Lauderdale each day. If you book before the deadline, end of April I think, the flights are one way $60. It's a long drive to get to the airport, but I think the flights for January may have just gotten a lot cheaper.

Going to check this out now! Thanks!

Lunch soon? Let me know!

Found a DisDad at lunch today. It wasn't a surprise stalking like Dave, we actually planned it. Thanks to Philip for taking time out of his day to stop by RainForest Cafe in Nashville to visit with us. He didn't bring it up, but we texted later about our plan to pool some points and stay at a THV. The plot thickens...

Philip had to return to work, but we somehow managed to find this place.

another DisDad meet in the books...great job guys!!

A great day at Opry Mills Mall. A nice lunch at RFC, shopping, and GiJoe. It was a good movie, Lady Jaye has great big fake , and lots of guns. There are mostly all new characters and plot lines unanswered, times lines fuzzy, and a lack of advanced weapons, but still fun to watch. Heading to Louisville zoo tomorrow to meet up with David and his family.

I have been trying that lately too. I am way out of shape.

Howdy fellow dads, hope all is well, just had a DisDads meetup lunch at the RFC with Norm and his family, sadly had to go back to work, wish I could of stayed longer to see Norm run around like a kid in Disney Store, who am I kidding I would of too

Thanks for the visit and taking the time to hang with us. We'll have to get the little ones together next time.

Hey Mal! You can call me Jim.

For those interested and waiting, I got the email from Disney Visa today for early marathon registration. You save $15 by registering early using the link. If you need the link, let me know. It says the coupon code is the first 4 numbers of your cc. Or if you are hard up for cash, Norm seems to have CJ's card number lying around somewhere.

Yes, I'll share CJ's card number for a beer or gas money to get my camper to his house.

That is getting later into August and some school districts are back in session. I'm surprised it jumped that much though.

Opry Mills? Anyone remember when there was a theme park there? We used to go there every summer when we visited my G-ma.

Through a nod to Spring Hill Cemetery for me! RIP G-ma!

Indeed. It was probably about 20 years ago that I went there on a youth trip. Man, that was so long ago.

The good ole days.

Good morning guys.

Went and played basketball last night. I put virtually no effort into it and didn't go flying through the air trying to block any shots like I normally would. I usually play for about 2 hours, but this time a couple of guys were talking about leaving after about an hour. I figured I can still walk, no bones sticking out, I'm good. Time to go home. Kind of hard to forget what I saw Sunday...

That was a brutal injury. I watched it live as well. Glad you had an injury free game.

Carnival just can't catch a break. Of course the news channels bring up all of the problems the last two years to remind everyone when they show breaking away.

Looks like it will take a while to fix the damage. They may want to change the name of the ship. I know it's supposed to be bad luck but how much worse can it get?

The top three new names, off the top of my head:

Titanic
Fireball
Flying Dutchmann

Thank you and your family again for inviting me, I have enjoyed both of our meetups your family is great, I told DD that i got to see the girls that she sat with during the Halloween Parade and she said "can i go see them tomm?"

Norm even offered to buy lunch but I refused since he had yet to hit up the Disney Store so I knew he would need the money lol and I forgive you for drinking a beer in front of me knowing full well I had to go back to work haha

I think after a few more meet ups DW will be all for your THV idea
I had a great time, always game for future meet ups

I really like oprymills but every time I pass it (everyday) I always think about Opryland, that's where my love of theme parks started, had season passes every year and miss it, the original oprymills plans did have a roller coaster in it (I guess to silence people like me that didn't want to see the park go) but somewhere the roller coaster idea was scraped.

Thank you for the entomology lesson Mr Science!

Remember Ron, that spiders eat flies!

This is very true, but my war stance with spiders still stands, it bit me I didn't bite it, are they trying to take over or did it think it could eat me, I think it did it cause it was mad after a night of hunting and wanted to put a hurtin on somethingIf you have ever seen a Goliath Birdeater Spider that can grow to the size of a dinner plate, I'm thinking they are after more then flies

Maybe they are teaming up with the penguins

You could have stopped by as well.

It was a Yuengling draft as well. Maybe next time.
