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

I am Well Rounded!

Me and my hair too.

I guess I am square with rounded sides.

Natural on the back, no.3 on the sides and blended to a choppy crop. You did ask.

I need you on speed dial next time I get a haircut. You can explain what I want to the barber.

Have a good Monday chaps. Leg is sore as all get out, but beautiful weather again over here so I'm in the garden working on the tan lines.

Hang in there and heal up. My friend that lives in the West Midlands called today (FaceTime) and said the weather was great. He was out on the patio and not a cloud in the sky.

Made it home. Why didn't I fly all those years? I won't be driving to WDW anymore. Yikes. Worth ever penny.

Looks like you guys had a ton of fun and yes, flying works.

The only one good reason for a trip to the female stylist, is well two reasons, when she reaches over you to finish the cut. Make sure you give her a tip.

She wasn't my type.

Productive morning. Went out for breakfast, got my hair cut and picked up some drugs. Not a fan of getting my hair cut and hate chatty "stylists." It is not a social occasion, just cut the hair and get me out of there. She asked me if I wanted it rounded or square on the back. What do I care. You are the professional, cut it. I did ask her after she was finished was that square or rounded. Ended up it was square and rounded on the sides. So should I care about this? What do you guys do, are you square, rounded or square with rounded corners?

.

I have no idea what your even talking about? Hair cut ? Lol

 

[AirGoofy]

The holy grail is the female at the washing station as your head is tilted completely back, looking at the, ahem, heavens, whilst arms are lathering....and then to a lady barber for a cut and scalp massage followed by a wet shave.
Welcome back mate, looks like you had a great one.

Thanks. The ocean kayak trip was worth it. Tino, the surfer extraordinaire, said they are trying to do more of those surf activities for guests. I hope they keep it up.

She wasn't my type.

As long as she had she's the right type.

Morning All.

Happy Tuesday.

So, I've just discovered this sanctuary of fellow Disney Dads. Love it.

Just curious - any of you guys also guitar/gear nerds on TGP? (TheGearPage)

I figure if someone is nerdy enough (like myself) to be active on both boards then we've got to be besties, right?

Top O the Mornin Dads! Exactly 3 weeks from today we head out, dang I need a vacation! Looks like all had a good weekend except maybe Dan as his leg / ankle - hope it gets better quick. Have a good one gents.

Good morning Gents!
Loooong time since I stuck my head in here. Hope everyone is doing well--DW just started packing for our upcoming trip! Doing Cabins 6/20-21, OKW 2BR Villa 6/21-26, then one final night at BCV 6/26-27. If any of you guys are going to be around, shoot me a message on Facebook.

Have a good trip

The last few trips to WDW I've been watching the progress of the Gondala system, I have come to the conclusion it's a waste of time and money. Why do I think this, First Thunderstorms and wind, this is very common almost daily at sometime of the day, if they close some rides and even the boats for storms in the area you know this is closing too, maybe dropping you off at a different resort. 2nd How scooter, wheelchair or stroller friendly can it be, it takes a bit of time to load a bus but this could halt the whole line ( I'm not a fan of heights, as long as it keeps moving I'm ok but if it stops I would start to get really nervous). 3rd how many people do they hold and if they have multiple stops wouldn't that give one resort the advantage over the others.

I would have went with a 2 train or tram system like they have at the airport, both trains would have different stops and would be able to hold at least 5 loaded buses worth of passengers ( 350-400 ) or more if needed, you would be able to just drive a scooter or baby stroller on board like the monorail, it would be able to run during a storm and would most likely be more efficient and cheaper to build since most would be on ground level (would need a few overpasses for some roads) and not have pilers every so many feet.

Completely agree and had the exact same thought when they announced these things, especially the Florida summer weather. Also not a fan if I was staying at one of the resorts like Caribbean, the tower/poles are right next to some of the buildings - nice theming and views??

Morning Guys,

A sunny but cool morning here. First day of grade 11 exams for DS. He ended up with two today, physics and advanced bio, he was a little stressed last night but I managed to miss the freak out that happened while I was out playing soccer. He should be fine but I think these are probably his two hardest exams. He will only have two more exams after this, pre-calculus and history.

Busy week at work and it started quick. Just chaired an appeal committee hearing on an athlete selection appeal. Most of the rest of the week will be updating our strat plan and getting ready for a board meeting on Saturday.

Have a good one all.




Wedding...weeding both could be entertaining.

Best of luck to him, sure he will do fine

What do you guys do, are you square, rounded or square with rounded corners?

Get off my lawn!!!!!!

I am Well Rounded!

DS has a saying of "I'm in shape, round is a shape"

Made it home. Why didn't I fly all those years? I won't be driving to WDW anymore. Yikes. Worth ever penny.

Welsome / sorry you are home, Flying is for sure the way to go.

Welcome to our little corner of the world.

Evening boys from an overcast London. Lady K has got me doing the old vacation videos, so that's been fun today, watching the kids grow up in the parks.

Welcome, sunshine. I see the chief has bestowed the hallowed number upon you, the subs officer will be along soon with his sugar free ponzi scheme.

Exactly 3 weeks from today we head out, dang I need a vacation!

Enjoy the countdown, Mikey.

That's all I've got boys, apart from 48hrs to the World Cup, when the Lady K effectively becomes a widow. Have a great Tuesday.

Were you gone?

 

[cj9200]

Morning guys, or is it afternoon? Slept on/off for about 9 hours. My body doesn't know how to respond to that much sleep. I'm kind of walking in a fog.

This isn't going mean squat to anyone out there but WTH. Watched Florida clinch a ticket to Baseball World Series by beating Auburn 3-2 in the 11th inning. Well fought game by both sides. Florida got it's first run by stealing home and clinched the win when a deep ball bounced of the glove of the right fielder and over the wall. Reminiscent of when the ball bounced off Canseco's head to go over the wall. Unbelievable ending.

Now I am going to try to slap myself awake so I can get some stuff done.

One Disney thing. Thinking of changing my Boardwalk 1BR Standard view during marathon weekend and try to get a studio at the Poly. Any thoughts?

Good one Zerf.

Welcome. Pull up a chair and there is some good beers in the fridge. Sorry, not a gear head and I have as much musical talent as Tiny Tim.

May the wait go by quickly.

Cool. I did that on a few of our trips and enjoy sometimes going back and watching them.

Can't wait for it to start. Still not sure which team(s) I will have a rooting interest.

That’s our DVC home mate so we’ve stayed as a 4 in the Poly studios a couple of times. They are pretty big, and they have 2 showers. The dvc buildings are at the TTC end, so it’s perfect for the Epcot loop and if you going to MK obviously just walk thru the hotel. People moan about the boat docking horn, but to be honest we didn’t notice it. I obviously don’t have to convince a man of your experience on the bar situations at the Poly.....

 

[londontime]

Were you gone?

Harsh. But pretty funny.

I'm always a bit "gone".

Don't follow it, but... dang. That sounds like one heck of a game!

Harsh. But pretty funny.

I am crushed! Bereft!


No... wait... I'm over it now.

Yea, what he said ................. and if you do get a lake view seeing MK, especially at night is awesome

You’re right mate, don’t know why they didn’t carry the speakers all the way down the path though, so you could hear the soundtrack as well. It stops about halfway.....

Both are great resorts. I like the 1 BR. Is Poly closer to the runDisney events?
