DIS Dads DDC XXXII: A Dole Whip in Paradise

[RodBelding]

The entire thread?! What, did you lose a bet or something?

But there's so much gold in them there hills...

A Disney Cruise sounds great. I'm available for that trip as welll.

You sound like my mother in law trying to invite herself... which she did when DW mentioned that my parents wanted to take the cruise. I will let you know which one we take and if you happen to be on the ship that's your money. I would not be opposed to a Dis meet we had a few pretty good ones on our honeymoon cruise. Still keep in touch with one of them.

Nope... just haven't been on the boards in a long time

Well, I DID learn that kidney stones don't turn into sand!

We've been calling but you don't answer.

What a loooong morning. Time to fire up the old coffee pot. Anyone have any good recomendations for what to give your kids so they will sleep on an airplane? DW has already said no to scotch, the sleeper hold and a head butt

There is a difference- One is a multi-superbowl MVP and the other can't win a game past December.

I would show you the ones from my team, but

Boy I Love Losing Superbowls.

Bills?

Bring the camera's. It will be something for the ages.



I bet I can out walk him though. I am pretty fast at the old speed walking. Up to 2.5 miles 3-4 days a week. I guess the balance points change as soon as the walk turns into a run and that is where the weakness in the knee is.

Too bad you'll be leaving before we get there. We fly in on the 3rd in the evening (flight after DD gets out of school). Just make sure you leave some dole whips for the rest of us.

We are flying down 9/17, cruising 9/18-9/21, BLT 9/21-9/25… just missing each other.

Watch it or the shiv carrying Cheetah may turn her ire from Paul to you.

My fault… won't happen again.

Good Morning Gentlemen.. Long time since last check in. Prayers to those that need them, Good luck to those that need it, and congrats to those that who have had good news

Have been kind of staying away until this black cloud over us lifts..Havent been in the mood lately for Disney and sad thing is a trip is only 8 days away and I have no desire to go( yea I know shoot me now put me out of my misery). Well you guys enjoy your day and maybe I will check back in soon

Someone needs to give this guy a swift kick to his behind.

Break out of the funk MAN! Hopefully multiple Dole Whips will help.

Hey guys! First day of spring break here and the girls get to play while I continue making the money for them to spend it Haven't caught up on this thread yet so I'm off to start at the beginning and see what you guys are up to. Happy Monday!

Hey Don! Hope everything has been well!

I am looking for recommendation for a good free antivirus. Do you guys know of one?

Trojan and Durex worked for me back in the day.

Good afternoon gents, trust all had a good weekend. Out of town on business so a bit late checking in today. Next week I head out Orlando for a customer convention. Down side is 1+ week out of town, upside is a night at DHS for the convention attendees only including free food and beverage. Here's to a good week for all.

Benadryl - a half a chewable used to work for DS when he was little

Hey Tim! Yes... all is well now. Have really been in a Disney funk (sort of like Carl). After having been blessed with 3 trips last year we decided we are taking a break from Disney. Not sure how long. But we are going to Orlando end of May for 5 days and taking advantage of our Busch Gardens platinum passes. This trip kind-of fell in our lap. In essence we are getting free accommodations (timeshare stuff), half the airfare paid with points and credits, and all parks with be free (free parking, too). Whole trip under a grand. Down-side... no Disney May still hit DTD though

That's a pretty sweet deal

Heck, that sounds like a great time! The price can't be beat.

You could always make an ADR at one of the hotels… or do a character meal to get your Disney fix. Or just ride the monorail for a few hours.

Bar-hopping the monorail resorts is probably the best of all worlds...

Sounds like a plan for Jan.

I'll have to take a test run when I'm down in a few weeks; I'm sure dw would love that...

Well, you'll have to invite her and not leave her in the room watching the kids.

It really is. All started with a Groupon deal at a timeshare place in Williamsburg. They offered a 4day/3night stay in Orlando for $149. They gave us a $50 prepaid Visa that day... then another $100 Visa when we did their timeshare presentation during the trip. Couldn't pass it up.

Thanks for the suggestions. Sometimes I forget what's available outside the parks! We'll have a rental car, too.

Do what I did. Make a reservation at tea for them while you bar hop.

Not sure the hotel room would still be habitable if I left our 2 little ones alone for over 2 minutes...

This is a good idea. They love tea at the GF. Not sure little man will enjoy it, but ah well...

This day in history April 14:

1865 - President Lincoln shot at Ford's Theater

1912 - Titanic struck by an iceberg

I guess considering those events, my day wan't so bad.
