DIS Dads DDC XXXII: A Dole Whip in Paradise

[Cinderella's Fella]

Thank you all for the good thoughts. We had a great time! but way to hot for me.

Fyi, I don't DIS much while there, too much trouble trying to find where I left off. Ya know, you log in and you're all caught up. I did post pictures over in the Travelog and Facebook. And...

... Prayers for those in need; Praise for those deserving; Disney, Dole Whips & Bacon for All!

How much spaghetti and hot glue did you go through testing new and improved bridge designs?

We're much more sophisticated than that. Duct tape, cardboard and elbow macaroni.

Apparently there may still be a little magic left in the Year of Chris. For years I had planned on taking my kids to WDW with just me when they were 12. But since we have APs this year we may change that to a trip when they are 10. The APs expire on 12/15. I'd like to cram in one more family trip in December, but my wife's schedule makes that an impossibility. Instead DD #1 and I had the great idea of just the two of us taking a long weekend in early December. That would make 5 trips in a calendar year! I'll probably never do that again, but man that sounds fun. We pitched it to DW yesterday and she didn't say no. It just might happen!!

5 - that a boy and a Dad daughter trip would be pretty cool. I was feeling, a bit guilty having 3 WDW & 1 DCL from March - March. Hope #5 pans out for you.

Somehow I don't think I ever got that Dole Whip or bacon you got for "all". Or was that more of a "I ate enough for everyone" type of thing?

I read something about that last week, but haven't seen the video, that would be terrifying, thanks for posting the video.

Well, if the yeti isn't going to work, then get rid of the track.

I didn't even notice so I had to check my "Head Cam" video of the ride. Sure enough, it wasn't there.

When we were there in April I can't say I saw the track we were more near the back of the train, but I did see the Yeti shadow clip of it ripping the track apart

If the opportunity is there, go for it!

There is a disturbance in the force. DW and oldest dd want to cancel days at the BWV in lieu of the beach. The beach?

Will never have that issue. DW doesn't like the idea of sharing water with other forms of life like fish etc, she prefers to stick to pools.

How much spaghetti and hot glue did you go through testing new and improved bridge designs?

With a bit of paraphrasing, I can imagine the submission of the new bridge..
"Could you explain your model young man?"
"Well, I just copied the bridge we have now."
" Then, I added some fins to lower wind resistance. And this racing stripe here I feel is pretty sharp."

I just got back this evening from WDW and yes I noticed the torn up track was missing. I was sitting a couple of cars back the first time I rode it, but I managed to sit in the front car later in the day on my FP+ and will admit it is a bit more scary without it.

Morning guys

Good morning Dads

 

[BigTikiDaddy]

G'morning all....

 

[afwdwfan]

Good morning!

We're much more sophisticated than that. Duct tape, cardboard and elbow macaroni.

Well, duct tape fixes everything... So I guess this means you'll be re-opening the bridge today?

That's pretty cool!

That kind of explains it. Is this your way of saying that the "head cam" isn't just for fun? Maybe that it serves a purpose for day to day use like, say, finding your keys?

That's the way my youngest is. Yes to pools. No to ocean.

Unfortunately, there are still rooms available. I don't like the split stay thing - unpacking/packing twice on a vacation is way too much work. So, when I tried the whole - well, since we have MNSSHP tickets Monday and I don't like split stays discussion - the counter argument was just to stay the whole week at BWV ths year and stay the whole week at VBR next year.
