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

We've made it. Let the post padding begin.

What's post padding?

We were out running some errands last night and decided to pull through the Wendy's drive thru to get some of the 99 cent Frostys as a treat. As I was ordering at the speaker, we could tell the guy working there really didn't care to be (not a big surprise at a fast food drive thru). We drove around and see the guy - he's late teens/early 20s, tattoos up and down his arms and neck. Basically, a really gruff looking guy and, just like when I heard him on the speaker, you could tell he would rather be anywhere else than working the Wendy's drive thru. Then I handed him my Disney Visa (the one with Buzz and Woody on it) and his entire demeanor changed. "Oh Man! You got that one! Cool! They didn't have that one when I got mine! Mine has Mickey on it! Here Look!" He then dug out his wallet and proudly showed off his Disney Debit card.

Cool story, bro!

Update: Page 250 ownage!

Just noticed we are on page 249. Anyone else feel that this thread was a lot faster then the last few? Either we all found more free time or "storming the castle" gets everyone focused.

It's because I'm back on here! (Me and my whole 10 or so posts in this thread.)

The big thing with the Pirate Princess is she occasionally gets migraines and needs meds. She will need to clear anything she takes with the Trainer. I looked at the drug policy stuff on the NCAA site and it is extensive.

She could probably apply for a therapeutic use exemption under the medical policy. There are no guarantees that they are granted but it is better to have a record showing that you are required to take a medication than to try to explain it later.

You just need to be not be able to breathe well during the game.

Unfortunately people take advantage of it. I know of many hockey players whose pre-game ritual consisted of lots of coffee and sudafed.

Good morning gents!
Great Day as DS, Sean, turns 16 today So for all of you Dads still with younger kids keep enjoying all the moments as time can fly by.

Happy Birthday Sean!

And a happy birthday to Sean as well.

The open road beckons…

I was a fat kid and probably wearing 2XL in HS. I lost the weight in college when I worked third shift at UPS and played basketball during the day. After I graduated and got that office job, it has all caught back up and then some. But, I never am the one complaining about being tired at WDW. My two dds are healthy and in their correct weight range. But, they are the ones who get tired way before me.

Sounds pretty much like my story.
Even this last trip with two healthy eighteen-year-olds in tow I was always the last one to be complaining about being tired. I could out walk, out wait and out stand them when there were younger and nothing has changed on that front since. It may be that for a couple of reasons I hurt all the time anyway, so I may just be dealing with aches and pains a bit better.

She did have fun with being able to partake of adult beverages legally. Now she has to go back underground.

Currently mine doesn’t like the taste of the stuff.
That’s probably a good thing.

Happy Birthday to Sean. Now the fun begins as a dad. Mine did not get the nickname "Crash" for nothing.

Our boy put a pretty good whacked on one of the fenders on the car he drives fairly early on in the process. I purposely didn’t fix it. The visual reminder combined with getting that mistake “out of his system” calmed him down pretty good. Even his mother doesn’t mind riding with him at the wheel any more.

Mine is 13 and we wonder where all the time went already.

Moves quick don’t it?
That relativity of time passage can be really unsettling.

This one has been running 65 days so far which is a bit quicker than the last one.
But to find another thread that outlasted these last two you have to go all the way back to DDC-VI

We've made it. Let the post padding begin.

Y’all have fun shuttin’ it down.
Don’t think I’ll be playing along this time..

Youth is relative. You are only as old as you feel.......and I'm feeling pretty old.

Summer is usually pretty slow for us. For some reason all our customers have decided to make life a little bit busy. Just got 2 unexpected orders that amount to 3 months of normal sales for delivery ASAP. Of course we don't have stock and now have to jump through hoops for the next 6 weeks, but good problems to have.

Happy Birthday Paul!

Can't wait until Disney gets their website fixed. Anxious to see what kind of rooms rates I can get for Marathon weekend.

Great to hear a good office story. I don't have any to share, so I'll live vicariously through you.

Well, there's no time like the present to make up for it.

Happy Birthday BO DUKE!!!!

Happy Birthday guys!

I hope everyone had a great Father's Day.

Everyone in the World this week, have a great time!

Dave, tell Briana we all said hi, and we enjoy getting all those updates about life as a CM!

Looks like a great vacation CJ, stay safe.




Looks like a great time! Thanks for posting and let Briana know we said hello and will try to stop by in August!







Happy Birthday Guys!



With the way it's going each game will be settled late. Not sure I have any finger nails left. DS has been staying up and then it's hard to get him up for school and sports.

Stocked up the liquor cabinet and fridge yesterday. How much is left by tomorrow will depend on how much closer I am to that free dole whip tomorrow morning.

Thank you guys for the birthday wishes.

From Last Month......
