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

[Cinderella's Fella]

Good Afternoon Disney Fans!

Sorry, a little late today was getting ready for tomorrow.

Today in Disney History:

1965:
The Miami Herald runs the banner headline,
"Giant Land Deal Near Orlando Revealed." Staff writer Clarence Jones states:
A Miami law firm working with $5 million in cold cash has quietly engineered one of the biggest, most-talked-about
Florida land deals in years.
Twelve miles southwest of Orlando, the firm has bought 30,000 acres of strategically located land that could
become the state’s largest industrial complex.
Hottest current speculation says the purchasers will offer 3,000 acres to the Atomic Energy Commission for its new
national accelerator laboratory, then develop the remaining 27,000 acres for related space age industry.

(Going to take a break from posting these for a few days 'til i get my feet under me again...)



Rumor also says the Ford Motor Co. plans to break into missile and space technology at the secret site. Ford officials
in Detroit deny it.
The McDonnell Aircraft Corp., builder of the Mercury and Gemini space capsules and a series of supersonic
warplanes, is also mentioned as a possible buyer. McDonnell now has headquarters in St. Louis. There were some St.
Louis men involved in the land negotiations.
Still another possibility is Disneyland East, the longplanned amusement park that would be bigger and better than
the original Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif. Walt Disney was at Cape Kennedy several weeks ago, but denied that he’s
still considering Florida for his new venture.
Bankers and real estate brokers have been trying for months to find out what’s in the works. If any outsiders know,
they aren’t telling.

Uh oh. I see storm clouds ahead.

Out west. Denver --> Pikes Peak --> Rocky Mountain NP --> Canyonlands NP --> Arches NP --> Grand Teton NP --> Yellowstone NP. Hopefully the toddler can handle it!

He seemed to do relatively well on the last trip. Is he sleeping better?

Hopefully the toddler's old man can handle it...

What he said.

Good point!

For the most part. Every once in a while he wakes up but he's mostly sleeping through the night. The problem now will be keeping a squirmy toddler cramped up in our laps on a 4-hour flight. We'll be That Family on this plane.

I figured he was a bit young for rock climbing, but hey, need to start em early.

Say hi to yogi.

Oh wow. Who's that little guy?

I know, a lot changes in 11 years. He was just about to turn 3 in that picture, now he is jumping like this

You can do what I did. I always sat across the aisle and when the kid got unruly, I would disown her and glare at her mother like the rest of the passengers. Why can't you control your kid lady?

Wow!

Yours have to be getting up there. I remember a pic of your son crawling around the cab of your tractor.

Even more wow.

Ok, I'll play. From 2008 in front of the Castle.

Morning guys. Great throwback pics!

 

[pkondz]

I was going to hold off on the "Nice throwback pics!" until I threw my own up....
But my pics aren't on this computer, so...


Nice throwback pics!

I like the way you think! Actually, we're flying Southwest, so maybe I can just grab a seat away from the rest of them.

Man, this is making me feel old. Here we are in 2010. Back in the good ol' days when we only had 3 kids.

I was going to hold off on the "Nice throwback pics!" until I threw my own up....

Careful throwing up on the computer. Electronics and vomit don't go well together.

I may or may not have done that when we flew to California in January.

Well... I guess since we're doing Disney throwback pictures, I'll share this one. The only picture I have from our 2008 trip. This is the whole family.

It's used to it.

 

[declansdad]

Another old one. This was our adults only trip in 2008. DS just found out about this trip a couple of months ago.

 

[budamacdvcr]

A long day. 4 hours round trip in the car today. But, I may be off for the rest of the summer until August.

Nice, sounds like a last minute trip to DaWorld is in order
