DIS Dads DDC XXXI: Nice to have Friends Around the Globe, Even Tim! Happy Holidays!

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

‘Morning all…
Keeping warm I hope.

Son's school has a 90min delayed opening tomorrow I don't have to be at work till 11:30, the district my wife works in hasn't called a delayed opening yet but they probably will since the towns on both sides already have

All I know is if they call it soon that means 90mins of extra sleep for ME

So… did ya’ get to sleep in?

My basketball coaching record is intact. For the last two years I have helped out at with the middle school team DS plays for. A friend of mine is the head coach and I offered to help him out. Due to other commitments he has to miss some game. Last year we were 8-0 under my watch and today we won with me in charge. Man I must be some kind of basketball savant.

Seriously we have a great bunch of boys who have some talent and are willing to work hard. It's great to watch them get better everyday.

Nice work coach. Well, nice work kids but a fine job on the guidance there coach.
Congrats to all.

Great idea. You can move next to CJ, and I can park the camper and mooch off both of you.

Always the opportunist.

Well, it looks like the baby decided 4 degrees was way to @#$% cold, so that nice warm womb seems like a good place to stay. Went to the doctor yesterday and got the Eviction Notice for Monday. So if nothing happens before then, we'll be on track to have the first good Monday in ages.

Sounds like a plan (unless the young’en changes its mind).
We’ll be waiting to hear good things Monday then.

(It's been so long since I posted, I was worried I'd forget my password...)

That’s alright… we’d have gladly sent you a new one.
Welcome back sir.

That, and the fact that platypuses exist, are proof that god has a sense of humor.

Funny guy that deity of ours.

 

[Twin Dad]

4 degrees F today, 1 yesterday, at this rate it will be mid 60s in three weeks. woo hoo.

You're at least on the positive side of 0. Every time we get above 10 we get snow then back into the deep freeze. Norm, when we pack up and head to CJ's, I'll make sure there's enough room on the luggage rack for you.

 

[budamacdvcr]

Good morning guys and a very happy Friday eve. Wind chill here right now is 6 and gonna get worse with single digits and sub zero wind chills tonight and tomorrow. I know it is not as bad as the rest of yas (excluding CJ) but we're talking Nashville area this flippin cold?

Nicely done and enjoy the great group of kids - they are lucky to have you.

Good deal and keep us posted the best you can. All the best to you and the Mrs

 

[FreezinRafiki]

Wasn't that at the beginning of the movie Dogma?

I had to go and check, but basically, yes it was. Good memory. Random bits of stuff like that just float around in my head and I rarely remember where I got them from. (In some cases, I've been instructed by legal counsel to actively forget where I learned stuff.)

Good movie, though.

Warmer thoughts - considering how most of us are freezing our tukas's off, thought I would share our March ADRs to create at least warm thoughts
March 15 - 20
Mar 15 Arrive, BLT, Raglan Road Dinner (St Pats fix)
March 16 - Hollywood Brown Derby Fantasmic pkg
March 17 - Chef Mickey's & Biergarten (I know an Irish mug like me doing German on St Pats? We have not done Biergarten yet and have done Rose & Crown plenty)
March 18 - Keys to the Kingdom Tour
March 19 - all open
March 20 - Tusker House & Tony's Town Square

 

[wasnotafan]

Office is officially open and I have gotten less done in the same amount of time than when we are closed. Must be I don't work well with others.

 

[USAFdad]

Is Polar Vortex a good name for a kid?

I know someone who named their baby girl Disney.

USAFdad... best of luck to you. I work with a bunch of Navy folk, and things ain't much better on the water.

My neighbor is in the navy and he mentioned that to me. I'm just staying as positive as I can.

Looks like a good line up to me.

I’d be interested in seeing a dissertation on the “Keys” tour once y’all get back.
I hope to do that one someday but it’s gonn’a be a while yet.

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Well, not necessarily. She could be in labor all day Monday and have the baby in the middle of the night on Tuesday morning. That'll be a fun Monday for you.

Just kidding. I hope... I hope everything goes well! Can't wait to see some baby pictures!

Sounds like a plan (unless the young’en changes its mind).

Well, thanks guys. Except we already have a monkey wrench in the plan. My wife just called in tears saying they could only get her on the wait list for Monday, so we're basically back to...well, who the heck knows.

I know someone who named their baby girl Disney.

And here I thought we all liked Jasmine as a name.

 

[FreezinRafiki]

You needed to make FastPass+ reservations for that 60 days ago, I guess.

Seriously, praying for the best for you, Julie and little [REDACTED].

Yeah, each season basically consists of 3 1.5-hour movies. I think a lot depends on when the stars are available to shoot.

For your 2nd question, it's a bit of a spoiler, so I'll cloak it in inviso-text in case you don't want to know:

It's just a running gag through the show that people keep mistaking them for a gay couple.

Exciting times. And for goodness sake, make an appointment with the snip-snip doctor. You don't want your wife to go through this again do you?

I didn't realize that just about all of the stories they've done are just modern adaptations of Doyle's works. Good thing I've never read one. Although I've always meant to read Hound of the Baskervilles.

Well, well, well. Guess who else is doing the Keys to the Kingdom tour on March 18. This guy!! Clearly we will have a photo or 10 to share with the group. What time are you doing the tour? We are in the 8:30 time slot.

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

Sorry for the tears. The monkey wrench… that's to be expected unfortunately, but tears are a tougher commodity. Tuesday then? That's a good day for getting’ born; worked out well for my young’en.

And here I thought we all liked Jasmine as a name.

And we do.

“Disney” as a first name would be unique to be sure.
Now “Walt”… that’d be a different story.
Not necessarily for a girl mind you, but still…

Remain calm. I know you've been down this road before, but pregnant women cry all the time. Can they induce on Tuesday? Maybe it won't matter and the kid will make a break for it over the weekend. That's more fun anyway. You get to have the "honey- my water just broke" conversation that they get in the movies. Nobody is ever induced in the movies.

If only…
Nice work on not letting the cat out of the bag there.
What type of a bribe did it take for Mark to let you be the only other one ‘round here that already knows the outcome?


By the way…
I just noticed the ticker in the sig. Nice!
Which repositioning cruise are you booked on?

 

[theduck619]

Prayers your way Mark! Hopefully little Mark or Markina arrives before then!

 

[FreezinRafiki]

Easy, just tell him that we were going to Disney World in January and needed to know if we were shopping for Team Mickey or Team Minnie.

The Magic, from San Juan PR to Port Canaveral, FL. The kids know we're going to Puerto Rico, but don't know about the cruise. We plan to fly down a few days early, then when it's time to head home, tell them there was a problem with airplane and we'll have to take a 3 day boat ride back to the mainland. When we get to the port, low and behold - the Disney Magic will be there waiting for us!

Hope all goes well. I'd suggest taking a hike at the biggest mall around but that might not work then you'd have an even more tired and crabby pregnant wife on your hands.

Congatulations! I hope she arrives early!

Good morning!
It's 2 degrees outside this morning. In may it'll be around 85 or 90 here. It'll also be 85 or 90 in WDW when we are there in May.

I am looking forward to May...

(It's been so long since I posted, I was worried I'd forget my password...)

Hoping May comes quickly for you!

Well, not necessarily. She could be in labor all day Monday and have the baby in the middle of the night on Tuesday morning. That'll be a fun Monday for you.

Hopefully they don't start inducing at like 6pm.

Hopefully, no one decides to use those ice cubes.

Good plan. We need to come up with a reason for getting on a plane in September.

Now why didn’t I think of that…
Oh yah… because I wasn’t going to Disney any time soon.
