DIS Dads DDC XXXIV: The Original Home Of The DISDads!!!

One more sleep and we start rolling down The Road to DDCC, one more time.

Have a great time!

I'm now down to just over 26 hours before I start driving to the airport.

Soon! Have a great trip!

Outside that, I'll hangout in the airport, something I love doing.

I do too. Not much to do but… just something about it

Can't wait. I've put in a request for a room in one of the 70's building, so in order to help that, if it does, I'll get there early.

Hanging out at the airport is one of my favorite things to do while traveling. The bigger the airport the better.

One thing I learned (from another DISer) is you don't have to take the room that's assigned to you. If you don't like it, ask for something else.

I didn't know that. Thanks for the idea. I watched a video of two sisters taking a short trip down to Disney World and they walked up to the front desk to check-in. The vlog was from last month, and I got the sense that they go to Disney often enough to know to do electronic check-in. However, they checked in at the front desk and requested a room with a view of the Skyliner. And got it. So, that gave me the idea of not only getting there early, but check-in at the front desk and ask about my room request that my travel agent put in for. Figures it wouldn't hurt to ask.

I get it.

It’s a wonderful day here in Epcot. We started in studios, stayed for about an hour and a half and went to Epcot. The hat came off around 2pm but the other four layers stayed on all day.

Wait... lemme guess... only high 70s?

Barely made it out of the 50s.

Barely made it out of the 50s.

The horror! How do you do it???

@pkondz would still be in shorts.

Well sure? I mean… it’s above 30, so…

Laugh and giggle all you want but it’s now starting to get real around here. Our water mains come out of the ground to go into the side of our houses. Our water softener sits outside and our water heaters sit in our unheated garages. Our plants, landscaping and trees don’t live if it’s that cold. Our house has a heat pump but it’s not designed to heat a house mainly with 14 foot ceilings and some 91/2 foot ceilings in that cold. Cold air drops so the A/C works fine.
A lot of people don’t even have heat which creates other problems when the turn on their ovens and stove to heat the house up. Not to mention the portable electric heater mess. We don’t even have frost free outside water faucets. lol.
This place is designed for hurricanes, wind, rain and heat.

Well we made it through Wednesday. Tonight is supposed to be cold but not as bad as last night. It will be back up to 80 in a few days!!

That looks like a bunch of trouble coming down the road.

Well made it thru the worst of the cold snap here in Texas, one more night in the 20's then back to the upper 60's and rain.
I only had one pipe break so came out pretty lucky other than I had to cut open my brand new kitchen floor to get to the crawl space to dig it up and patch it.

Thinking... you prefer the latter.

I suspect you weren't the only one needing some pipe repairs.

 

[Maroonag1]

Very much, Would rather be 80's but I will take what ever i can get that comes with rain.

I suspect you weren't the only one needing some pipe repairs

For sure. just glad I can do my own work. Plumbers around here are are making a fortune and booked up weeks out. My neighbors have had a guy out there for 3 days trenching under their place to get at the plumbing. Glad I'm not paying that bill.
