@theduck619: Tangent, but I just read your adoption blog, you're adopting 4-kid s is that right??!? I've got virtual 6-year old twins, one bio and one adopted so I feel some of your paper-chase pains/excitement! Good luck!

WHere are you staying this trip?

Man, its a split stay trip this run.

Never been on a cruise yet, so enjoy. I'm not a big fan of split stays, but will do them occasionally. Have a great trip.

Assuming the position. Enjoy the day men.

Yea, I'm not a huge fan of split stays either, but we don't pack nearly as much for Disney trips so its not a huge deal.

As for the cruise, they are amazing for us! I love my kids, but sometimes I just want them to GO AWAY, and the boat provides that option with the kids clubs. We have to drag them outta the clubs usually, but its very relaxing. Not to mention the food and drinks everywhere.

Thank you! Yes we are adopting a sibling group of four from Poland. They are 9, 8, 6 & 4.

Welcome to the club!

Great choices for your spilt stay. Poly is about the ultimate Disney resort and Wilderness Lodge is probably my personal favorite!

That's nasty!

Happy NFL DAY gents. My Irish caused some skipped heartbeats yesterday - ugh. Got a crazy week of business travel / planes traines & automobile types so enjoy the rest of your Sunday and enjoy the family this week as I will have a hard time checking in with this weeks schedule but will do me best - cheers!

Wow. It's great to see other dads who 1) quote hilarious movies. 2) love disney as much as I do and 3) know that shenanigans is more the just a silly word!
This is my first post so a little info:
My name is James and I live in NJ. I have a DS5 and a DD2. We check into POR in 10 days and I can't wait!

Welcome to our little clam bake !

DD is supposed to be playing soccer game in about 30 minutes, but she's down and out with some sinus infection that struck Thursday night. Poor kid... nose is all red from blow, blow, blow. But STILL wants to go play.

Sorry to hear about the sick stuff but applaud her for wanting to tough it out and play anyway

My wife did schedule Illuminations as one of the FP+ events. I'm guessing it gives us a reserved spot so we don't have to deal with the Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome battle scene to get a spot.

Let us know how it works out. I am looking at our March trip to take it very casual with Illuminations since we have seen so many times. Thinking of a beer walk for me & DW and snack cart raid for DS rather than our historical camping out sitting on concete.

Into the double digits on this new thread and I still haven't posted. I think I am entering a phase of life where I won't be around as much.

At least I am still on the green side of the sod so life is good.

Welcome new guys, congrats and prayers as appropriate.

Back to the grindstone.

Good to hear from ya and sorry you are running a bit too much right now.

Well, youngest dd lost her first soccer team today 4-1. We got smoked in the first half. We played one of the better teams and I stayed to my player rotation, even though one of my keepers was terrible, giving up 3 goals. But, one of my younger, weaker players scored her first (and probably only) goal of the season.

Gotta luv the weaker players when they get their first goals - I always enjoyed that more than when the studs I coached were at 2-3 a game.

The family took me out for my birthday dinner tonight. The restaurant we were suppose to go to was closed so we went to another popular local spot instead. The food was ok (compared to other times) and the server wasn't all that bright but the company was second to none.

Well said relative to the company being second to none.

Throw the shellfish pickin's in the neighbor's yard. That keeps your garage and trash bin smelling fresh.

When they ask you about it, say "I'm allergic to shellfish, what are you talking about?"

Officially on Vacation now, This week I'll paint the living room and it's off to Busch Gardens next weekend

Enjoy

Morning guys. Great family day yesterday . Our DNR had a family outdoor experience at one of the state parks in Indy and all of the events were FREE

We did horse back riding, rifle shooting, archery, and the ol duck got 2 out of 3 in his first skeet shooting experience! Just a note, I have not fired a gun since I shot my first dear 17 years ago.

They also had rock climbing, 4 wheel off road course, canoeing, kayaking, crossbow shooting (way cool), disc golf, fish net making, gold panning, and a whole bunch of stuff.

What a great way to get families outdoors and realize the resources we have right in our back yard.

Very cool

I hear the cruises are great, and one day, we'll go on one. We are DVC members, so my thought process is that we should go on WDW vacations for the next 30 years since that was what we per-paid. DW wants a cruise before then, so hopefully we can get one in there.

I'm going to try a VBR/ VGF split stay in October 2014, but doubt I can get VGF then.

That's alright, because unlike some of those other groups, we encourage your bad habits.

Welcome to the club.

Got any bacon on you?

Beer?

Whiskey?

Yes x 3!
Bacon: Duh!

Beer: I brew my own beer randomly, other times I'm just a regular beer snob.

Whiskey: I'm actually a member of a bourbon/whiskey club that MAILS BOOZE TO ME!

Fall is my body's arch nemesis! All the Oktoberfest brews are coming out, I prefer to drink whiskey in the colder months, and we alway vacation Oct/Nov. Really does a number on my calorie intake and waist,

So, whats this Disdads Convention thing? Anyone have a link handy?

So, whats this Disdads Convention thing? Anyone have a link handy?

I don't know that there is any 1 official link...

But over on the other home disdads.com you can find the Roll Call thread....you may not be able to get there, unless you are a "member" on that site.

But what is it...? It's just as it sounds, a bunch o' DisDads storming the castle. It is being held on Marathon weekend January 9 - 12. Some of the dads, are running the 1/2, and I think a couple are even running the full. The rest of us are there to cheer and jeer, and drink some beer! (That may need to be our slogan for the week guys).

Nice win by the Colts!!
