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

[declansdad]

well its been a few days. been busy with work and the house. digging in down spout drain lines, painting the garage,putting new shutters up and getting ready to paint the house. (its like we are getting ready to sell or something.)
well briana did pass her quiz, test what ever they called it. she worked on her own for the first time sunday in fantasy land. all went well. she can take her earning her ears off tag but she said she is going to keep in on a bit longer, people go a little easier on you when they see the tag.
she is scheduled for 56 hours this week. Saturday she got pulled out into the move it shake it parade. I don't think shes coming home.
we leave next Friday for 9 nights at wdw. looking forward to finding out what all these terms she uses. "fish bowl" we are thinking it maybe a break room or something?
so that's it, shes no longer a new recruit. we have her schedule for about two weeks in advance if anyone is interested.
I should say the 56 hours includes about 5 hours of class room. they constantly do safe D meeting and other meetings with initials I have no idea what they mean.
I like the stories she tells about how and what goes on after the park closes. a lot of people and work gets done. it never stops.
im sure ill post some pictures when we get down there, ill keep you posted if anything interesting happens.
thanks for following along and all your interest!!!!

What did she do in the parade?

OK boys, don't get your hopes up. Pacers have given the Heat everything they wanted but I doubt that Bosh an Wade will play as badly as they did in the last game. (Don't tell anyone but some fans down here are a little worried.)

And Andy, there is plenty of flopping on the Indiana side.

Oh I know. I don't understand why. It's like they're trying to out "Heat" the Heat.

I love the intensity, but I do kind of wish someone (another Pacers player) would get in West's face and get him to tone it down before he gets a T at some inopportune time.

Without a doubt. I just think its embarassing when the big stars who get most of the calls anyway do it. And that is coming from a Pacers fan! I hated it when Reggie would overplay the flop.

Reggie didn't overplay the flop so much as the leg kick on the jump shot. I'll admit, I spent too much time watching him when I was growing up. Even though I'm not a jump shooter, I tend to use that move when I take one.

The first home study visit is in the books. I think it went failry well. DW is pretty anxious to get these kids home, so when the social worker asked when we wanted to schedule the second visit, my wife said "how about tomorrow?" She wasn't kidding.

However, it will be towards the end of the month.

I'm glad things went well. Here's hoping round 2 does as well!

What did she do in the parade?

^^ What he said.

Thanks for keeping us informed Dave!

Saturday she got pulled out into the move it shake it parade.

What did she do in the parade?

I believe, by definition, she "moved it" and "shaked it"

Thanks CJ. It was.

Over the weekend DW took the kiddos to the Disney Store to get some outfits for the trip. When DD walked in a CM came up to her and said, "Merida, we had no idea you were coming in today." She was them taken to the Merida collection. She got the Merida summer dress, tiara, scepter and night gown. along with the Rapunzel night gown. DS got a set of Jake PJs and a Cars swim suit. We've talked DD into picking two costumes if she'll also wear Merida. Her choices now are Merida and Ariel. I find that intriguing because those have been very low on her radar until now. Her favorites have always been Cinderella, Aurora and Rapunzel.

Very cute and cool story - as I posted earlier, men enjoy every one of these special little moments.

Congrats and glad all is going well

Got to chime in, pulling for the Pacers more becasue I don't like Pat Riley (from his days as Knicks coach) then a LeBron thing. In all likelyhood Heat wins tonight and reaches NBA Finals 3 years in a row. However, based on expectations if the Heat do not get to the finals a lot of folks are gonna be calling them out.

This is for Dave, Rob, Scott, Mike and anyone else that might be at WDW in the 3rd week of June. Below is the schedule my family and I will be on. We're only there for 4 days/3 nights so will be trying to cram everything in but I'd like to be able to squeeze in some meetups if possible. PM me your cell # if you think we'll have a schedule overlap that would allow for a meet.

Mon 6/17 - EP
Tue 6/18 - AK til just after lunch then HS for rest of day
Wed 6/19 - MK til late afternoon

i ask her when she did her first am opening if she stood out and waved as guest were coming in. she said when the cart is not busy, she stood in front of it waved, said hello and handed out stickers. now that she is by herself, i don't know if she still does that. i ask if she had pins, no, there not allowed, its a hazard. shes not allowed to wear any rings or jewelry other then just small stud ear rings.
i told her to keep smiling and point with two fingers! she said she can also point with an open palm but there seems to be an inside joke with the two fingers so that's what they use. and don't ask, im not on the inside.lol its like i said before, this cm thing is like a secret society and you need the hand shake to get any good info out of them. lol

Great news, thanks for the update!

... she can take her earning her ears off tag but she said she is going to keep in on a bit longer, people go a little easier on you when they see the tag....

After being in this field for 25+ years I still tell people I am just learning.

Got it, thanks!

Ours is not set in stone, and I’m certain if will change in mid stream, but the “current” plan goes like this…

Sat 15 - MK (may be late, depends on when we get there)
Sun 16 – EP (Most of the day) – MK (very late)
Mon 17 – headed to the “Dark Side” (may go back to MK late)
Tue 18 – AK (early) – EP (late)
Wed 19 – MK (early) – HS (late)
Thr 20 – More “double-agent” time in enemy territory (again, maybe at MK late)
Fri 21 – HS (early) – EP or MK (late)
Sat 22 – Breakfast at Kona and then toward home


Looks like some potential overlap on Tue at AK and Wed at MK.
