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

[mm1971]

Did we already realize that we'll be there at the same time? I'll check in to BLT on Aug 24 but will hopefully be offsite for a few days before that. Once I get my park days figured out, we'll see if we can figure out a meet.

Sounds like a plan! From the ressies I'm sure you can figure we'll be in Epcot on the 22nd, MK on the 24th and HS on the 25th(my birthday, bring presents). The other days are up in the air and open to suggestion. Let's figure it out as we get closer.

Oh that. I don't think that story line really excites me- mostly because I think she's just so-so as an actor and as far as I know I don't think she was a big deal in Doyle's original works. I'd rather see Irene Adler make a comeback.

I thought it was a fun twist. But I do agree on Irene Adler--I think that was my favorite episode.

Looks like a great time! My daughter is also a hockey fan, so for her birthday I gave her tickets to the Flyers game last night. I lost track of how many times I apologized to her as they gave up 5 goals in the 2nd period. .

Yea, saw the score & sorry about that hopefully she enjoyed the event and watching live.

Work sucks. Glad it is Friday.

Sounds like you need the weekend and a cold one tonight - cheers to you whenever you toss one back

It was a crazy few days. Andriana was complaining about her eyesight and a few other things going on, which prompted a visit to the ER on Friday. I left Sunday morning and was here in time to see the specialist Monday at noon. More tests Monday and a call Wednesday from the doctor to get her back to the ER. Spent Wednesday night and part of Thursday at the hospital. We both crashed when we made it back to the hotel.
She is in good spirits and I have calmed down a bit. I will send more info when we know anything.

Other that that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

So sorry to hear about this and prayers sent. Hang in there and keep us posted of any developments.

I made a few ressies for our August trip. Had a few issues with the app working properly. Seems to be corrected.

August 20 - Dinner California Grill

August 21 - Breakfast Ohana

August 22 - Lunch at Via Napoli
Dinner at Chefs De France

August 24 - Dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern

August 25 - Dinner at 50's Primetime Cafe

Still trying to decide where to book the others. These were the initial requests from the family. Suggestions are always welcome. AND.......wait for it........wait....for....it....It's FRIDAY!

Nice plan with a couple of our very favorites too - Liberty Tree Tavern and 50's

Studies have shown you can survive with food every other day.

Those studies didn't involve me as a test subject. Survive without food?

Apparently my butt is too big to lift out of bed, so I need to lose some weight
.

Then it is time to get a bigger bed. I have lots of solutions.

And to you as well. It is a bourbon night for sure.

Prayers for her. Keep us posted.

I'm back. Spent a week in St. George Island, FL with the in-laws, SWMBO, and kids and then had a three day state conference to attend. Florida was warmer than here and now it looks like another week of subfreezing temperatures on the way. If I could just break my family of wanting to eat everyday, I could think about moving.

Sounds like fun. Hope the snow bypasses you.

Great ADRs. Cali Grill and Via Napoli are awesome. I didn't like the buffet dinner at LTT, but I've heard good things about their lunch menu.

Booked BLT for next Jan28th-Feb3 today...

Once I get DW to finally sign off on my DDCCIII trip I'll be able to officially have 2 trips on the books within 3 weeks of each-other. Then all I'll need to do is convince my work that I should "work remotely" for those 2 1/2 weeks and book a Pop or campground room, and boom, my master plan will be complete.

Morning, long day yesterday. Today is shaping up the same. Gotta run out the door for work

They are not sure what is causing the problems but the MRI ruled out a tumor. She starts steroid treatment tonight and will be following up with a doctor in Miami next week. More tests to narrow it down. I will be driving back Sunday, hopefully ahead of an incoming storm.

The weather here is nuts. It was 9 degrees last night but it might break freezing tomorrow. Not a lot of new snow which is good but why anyone would live up here is beyond me.

She is in good spirits and I have calmed down a bit. I will send more info when we know anything.

Other that that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

Prayers and thoughts coming your way, hope this gets cleared up soon.

Morning dads. I hope you all are well

 

[DH-2-mamaduck]

Goodmorning DisDads. Another freezing @*&# cold day in Minnesota. Getting excited to visit the World in 1.5 weeks. I was going through my WDW booklet this morning and it did have (4) vouchers for DisneyQuest. (2) rooms = 2x the stuff in the book. I think I will have to take the kids to DQuest. You think a Sunday is a bad day to go there?

Still thinking on the fishing excursion.... and the most important, order flowers & stuff from Disney Floral for DW as she gave up Hawaii to go to WDW for our 15 year anniversary.

 

[USAFdad]

Yeah.... no way not important enough.

Chicago trip with DS two Blackhawks games and Disney Archives at Museum pics

Outside the Museum of Scinece and Industry (sorry about the snow part)

I want to go there....

I don't know which one of you recommended that I watch Sherlock, but thanks. I just finished season 3 last night and it was good. The only problem is that they are 90 minutes each and DW kept falling asleep. All in all, she's probably only seen about 2 of the three seasons.

Sounds like my wife…. always passes out.

Yeah that would be my wife too she always falls asleep during TV shows.

That sounds like a good time there are a few there I want to try. We have a Crystal palace breakfast, 50's lunch, Ohana dinner, and Via Napoli dinner booked for our trip sadly we are going to have to lose the 50's. I'm really excited to try Ohana though.

We tried Disney Quest on our honeymoon 14 years ago, but haven't been back. But, if you got the vouchers, then enjoy them. I try to avoid MK & Epcot on the weekends, with extra local crowds for restaurants. I have no idea about the Disney Quest, but would really like to try one of those fishing excusions or dinner firework cruises.

Yeah, I have to agree with ya what the heck am I thinking as well?

I did get a lot done, though. Closed out February, paid bills, and house is semi-clean. Since we have children, the house will never again be clean until they are gone.

Could be worse, I was already at work by the time you posted.

I'm so far behind that catching up is futile. Hope all is well. Did I miss that Tim has committed to running the full marathon?

 

[that's nice]

I haven't committed to anything yet. You running in 2015?

I do have MK on the schedule for Sunday, for 3rd time. We planned DTD for Sunday and then wander to MK for the evening, but can easily go somewhere else. We have Epcot on Saturday, and yeah, was thinking same thing...it is probably not the best day to do it.

Wed = MK
Thu = AK
Fri = MK
Sat = Epcot
Sun = DTD & MK
Mon = DHS

I'm not sure but hoping to. We are going in Oct and I'll be doing the ToT 10 miler. Our trip will be long enough that going to an AP will make sense then I just need the go ahead from DW for another solo trip. If i do it will be for the half again. I'm probably targeting 2018 for my full.

 

[DisneyDadC]

hey guys long time no post for me. Some one got me hooked on that pirate of the Caribbean game !!!hope all is well with all
