DIS Dads DDC XXVIII: Stormin’ The Castle Since 2007!

[mm1971]

Took your advice and went with BLT. I see many afternoons at the Poly pool in my future...


Also booked Biergarten for us for that Weds night. Still work with your schedule?

Just curious since we are not DVC. Do you pool hop at Poly when staying at BLT? Don't they have their own pool? Or the pool at CR?

I hope Amelia is feeling better soon! Talked to Dd that we were going to try to meet up. She is excited about meeting a new friends that loves Disney. Hope work gets better and they realize you should be getting more responsibility soon.

Oh it's Audrey, not Amelia with the strep. Last night went better, she woke up at 1am after falling out of bed, I took care of her then, DW got up at 4 when she had another coughing got and after an hour or so, got it calmed down and back to bed, after which everyone (but me) slept in nice and late.

In the end it is what it is here, just a little hard to swallow after my years taking a backseat when I was for a lot of times the number 2 guy in the store. This weekend is going a long way in making me feel a little more confidant. Took the high road today in getting a choice of duties and took the one that put me on cash (once in a while) and let my co worker take the main stock shift because I know he's in better shape and way faster then I am, gotta do what's best for the store.

Girls love to make friends (well, Amelia does, Audrey has moments) but will enjoy it greatly.

I had that part of our schedule blocked out before you booked!

Awesome. Can't wait for you and Jodi to meet the family.

BLT has their own pool, and it's pretty good. CR has a pool that's decent as well. However, the Poly pool is my Shangri-La. Whenever the wife and kids take a nap in the afternoon I head on over there, get a dole whip, and then set up shop at the bar. Quite possibly my favorit place in WDW.

Thanks for the insight. I think having the food stamps tied to the farm bill is just silly, but that is the way government seems to work. I saw an interesting documentary on the farm bill and big farm producers. Like most of these government programs, if we go back in history and review them, it made sense. But, as time evolved, there were never any changes to the program. It made sense when the USA had population expansion, went thru a War, and facing an economic depression. Thanks for the perspective.

The primary argument for linking SNAP to the farm bill is that they represent two ends of the food production cost scale. The farm bill has the effect of establishing floor pricing for producers, ensuring that they earn at least a base-level return on their investment in their crop. But the "losers" in that equation are those at the bottom of the economic ladder. Keeping base commodity food prices from dropping to their "true" market levels places the poorest at substantial nutritional risk. So to balance that impact, we provide supplementary nutritional assistance to ensure that we don't end up with Depression-era issues like rickets and chronically malnourished children.

Very nice "Three Amigos" reference. One of my favorite movies.

I wondered if anyone would get that one. That has the be one of my top 5 comedy movies of all time.

I prefer the CR pool over the BLT pool. The BLT pool was always more crowded than the CR pool when we were there. The water slide was better at CR, and I like the big quiet pool right behind it.

Yes, they are. Have fun.

Well, we all had a great time. Got to see where briana lives, works and even a little behind the scenes of the magic kingdom. This place amazes me every time. But tonight was our last together. She stayed with every night while we were here. She didn't have to be at work today till 6:45 so we had the entire day together. We had our hugs at buzz lighter meet and greet and she went behind the wall. We just had to see her one more time. We won't leave if her and mom our crying. We took some pictures and headed out.

We had a great time B!!!! Can't wait till September!!!! 82 more days !!!!

Evening guys.

We spent the day in the Saint John area for soccer. DS had two games today and they came away with a win and a loss. He played keeper for half of the win. Play the same two teams tomorrow, just in another city that is a little further away. Glad I took Monday off.

Made it home in time to listen to tonight's live podcast. Well done Gentlemen but you blew it with Le Cellier.

Morning all. I had a lot of fun on the dining tournament podcast last night. Thanks to Aaron, Eric, and Daniel for the panel fun, and thanks to everyone else for listening. I really enjoyed the attraction tournament last year, and am looking forward to the remainder of the munch madness tournament bracket.

On the the home front, it looks like my staycation porch umbrella is missing. I'm wondering if DW put it away or if the storm blew it away. I 'll find out when everyone wakes up. Have a great Sunday.
