DIS Dads DDC XXXIII: Bad Idea Factory!!!

[afwdwfan]

You totally redeemed yourself Rob. That is a bad idea on so many levels.

 

[declansdad]

So you'll be installing that contraption in your master bath at home this evening, right?
Looking forward to hearing the reaction from the rest of the folks in your household.

Well, since that one don't suit ya' then how about this one...

Just like the last time, "someone had a problem and found a solution."
Must also be a good idea (especially if it's Andy holding on the the snake at the time).

For some reason the guy with the snake made me think of this:

Top O the Mornin! Great games in the NHL last night, including Hawks win. If yas can't tell NHL is the top sport in our household. Have a great weekend good luck to all the kids with their weekend activities.

Declan and I had a DisDad meet today in Eastport Maine. WE met up with Randall and Jodi for lunch.

Well done guys

Happy Friday Guys!

Missed a lot of time, had connection problems last week in WDW. Hopefully Norm and Steve kept everyone up to date.

It was a great birthday trip for DD. Met Norm and family in person at MNSSHP. Thanks for meeting up with us, thats a great family you have there!

Off to see what I missed. I'll try to post some pics this weekend.

DD scored the only goal in a 4-1 loss in Field Hockey last night. She played well, but the other team was all 2 years older and really good.

Preview of the tie dyes for our travel parties. These are just the kids' shirts.

Nice job on the shirts. We did some candy corn ones a few years back.

** Bad Idea of the Day ***

What? It's not like it's loaded.

We made it.

As a reminder, don't text and drive, but taking pictures with your cell phone while driving must be a great idea.

I didn't do it. More to follow.

I want to go back.

I'll keep posting pics in my LIVE trip report and on FB. However,had to.include this one here.

DisDad Character Meet-up

Philip, thanks for letting me crash breakfast with your family.

Nice job guys!

 

[mm1971]

Nice win for the Irish

DS has requested to paint his bedroom Notre Dame gold this winter.

Great meet up guys!!

I think all will agree that the DisDads are proof that you can never have too much Disney! Well after an awesome weekend at WDW with MNSSHP, ToT 10 miler and a few awesome meet ups (Steve, wish we could of meet up, with ToT and y'all just getting in made it tough, hope y'all have had a wonderful time so far!) well if all that wasn't enough DD and I are at Disney Frozen on Ice! So all in all I'm broke and will be accepting donations lol

We'll be going to the Disney on Ice show in December. Annual Christmas stocking stuffer and we take a day in Boston with dinner and the show. Hope you enjoyed it!

Well done gents

Well done on the meet up but beer - not by the looks of which park you guys are at.
Jim - how'd the surprise for DD go?

It went well. She was surprised when she opened the bands. Then surprised again when we actually told her we were leaving now. I'll try to post the video this weekend. It was posted on my FB page. Feel free to friend request to see it sooner.

Good morning campers. Jodi and I are in Bar Harbor Maine. Sunrise from the top of Cadillac Mountain highest point on the eastern seaboard

Saw the pics on FB. Looks like you guys are having a great time. Nothing like the seasons changing around here.

How come you didn't say anything about going to the Hawks game and being on the jumbotron?

Figured some division smack talk to start the season was in order. And posting a pic of Mickey in a Hawks jersey is plain wrong, everyone knows he's still a Ducks fan even though he doesn't own them anymore.

Good afternoon, men!Nice job on the DISDad meets, guys!

And thanks again for all of the updates, guys.

CJ -your abbreviated TR was PERFECT! Food, attractions & booze.

We will be exactly 3 weeks out tomorrow. Between now and then we only have a few more non-Disney events to focus on. Oldest DD has a Book Response, basically an oral book report but they only have 3 minutes and have t use a prop of some sort, Then youngest has her BDay next week and we'll celebrate on Saturday with all of her little 6 & 7 yo friends. We'll be employing the use of out outdoor move screen once again. Not sure how well the little ones will sit for it. But it's outside and if they want to run around, then so be it. I'll have a fire going and lots of beer. For the adults I mean, not the kiddos.

Once we get those 2 events done, then it is 100% Disney mode! I mean, I'm pretty much there now, but the DW is at about 75%. She did start identify frozen alcoholic concoctions in EPCOT the other day, so DIS mode is def kicking in.

Afternoon fellas. I have been recruited to coach my daughters CYO basketball game tomorrow. They heard about the 5'9" legend from Northern Indiana who could shoot from anywhere and was a lock down defender.......well he wasn't available so they found his back ups' backup, lol.

It's 4th grade, so my goals are that they shoot it in the right basket and don't just stand around.

Don't forget, they have to dribble as well.

Good luck.

Me too. I saw the Miami sign on I95s and thought "CJ won't mind, he's at WDW".

DS has requested to paint his bedroom Notre Dame gold this winter.

And his punishment is .....

They can learn the pick n roll. Have fun coaching.

Evening guys...Thanksgiving weekend up here so it's busy busy,busy...DW sure made things easier though with a big purchase of beers for me.

PS. Forgot to tell you I saw my first face plant at F&W. A girl was laying flat on the ground and two friends were around her telling her she was "OK" and told her to get up. They just stood there telling her that. When they finally tried to drag her to her feet, I noticed she left a little stomach content on the pavement. The CMs handled it well, but come on people, it isn't even the weekend yet. It is only Tuesday!

One night we got out of Dodge as the crowds were getting big, apparently just after we left some couple were openly doing coke or something to that effect, and started to try and climb the pyramid in Mexico.

Gas prices keep dropping and now I have to wonder what time of day is the best time to buy

This morning I filled up for $2.99 for reg, 3hrs later I'm driving past the station and now it's $2.93

It only comes out to about $1.00 but it's always better if you can throw that extra buck towards a Dis trip

We apparently drop another couple of cents overnight, we will fill up tomorrow.

Morning Guys. Typical fall day here to start our long weekend. Pretty relaxed day ahead that will be highlighted by going to see the new Dracula movie.

Have a good one.

 

[that's nice]

Have a great time meeting up with Mark last night. He was traveling through Connecticut on his way to New Hampshire. We ate at Modern Apizza in New Haven. Then headed over to Libby's Italian Pastries for dessert.



The kids.



We only ordered 5 pizzas and barely had any leftovers. Julie took a few pictures during dinner which I'm sure Mark will post after his trip.
