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

Dads of the DIS talk about life, bacon, Disney, bacon, kids, bacon, cars, bacon, family life, and lots of other fun stuff! And beer. And bacon.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

60 degree weather, severe thunderstorm warnings and a tornado watch till 9pm... Where's the snow??

Getting ready to leave work in about an hour... I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas. Not sure if I'll be checking in here much over the next few days.

 
GOOOOOD MOOOORRRRNNNIIIINNNGGGGG DIS DADS,

Happy Christmas Eve! We were sitting around yesterday morning going over some of the stuff we were going to do this week and Star Wars came up. I suggested the 26th and she said OK. Then asked why don't we go today? Made it in time for the 12:00 pm showing. Only thing I will say is I enjoyed it a lot.

Today we are just hanging out and dinner will be pasta with olives, capers and tomatoes. Can't wait for tomorrow's dinner though. Just pulled the hunk of meat out of the freezer to thaw.

Throw back Thursday is from Christmas 2008. We spent Christmas and New Year's at the Boardwalk. She insisted we bring a tree and I also got a light up Mickey. The drive was fun with the car packed to the gills. Had an enjoyable time though.

















Miss these at Epcot.










Just don't arrive on the wrong day this time.

Don't know how I missed this. I arrive a day early once and I am branded for life. Or was it twice. Ready to leave now actually.

Glad she made it home safe and enjoy the time with her back home. At least for the first 3 or 4 days if you are like us with our DD :-)

Glad she made it home safe. Enjoy your time with her.

She was going to spend last night at the twin's house next door but decided to come home anyway. She is already making plans to see friends but I have her home the next couple of days.

Sorry to hear about the snow shoveling, although it was the excuse I needed to go outside and exercise. If you ever see my running outside, you better run as well, because it means something is chasing me. :lmao:

Or chasing a tennis ball?

Please share any other Holiday at DaWorld photos you guys may have time to post

Nice family shot Mike.

Ah nature. Delays are part of its charm, no?
Glad she made it home safely.

Thanks. Saw a report of the worst airports in the country and both Newark and Miami were at the top of the list. A miracle we are able to get anywhere.

Stay safe Andy, Norm and everyone in the path of this storm. We will be breaking a record high today with temps. reaching 86 degrees.

Good idea, Mike. I only have Halloween photos.

Great Pics CJ and like how you got the tree there. Tried to figure out how to do that the couple of times we were there for Christmas but the thing Disney provided was way too high. Thanks for sharing
 
Merry Christmas Dads! Storms were out of control last night as we were under tornado warning from 7 - 9. Prayers to those that lost life and property, especially this time of year.

Sounds like a good menu. I'm hoping to get to Star Wars on Friday.

Merry Christmas. We had a welcome change of pace this year as both dds slept until around 7 and no life changing gifts this year. I opened some new tennis shoes and ball hopper. DW opened her perfume, new shoes, & Fire tablet. The dds had some new winter coats and clothes. Of course, the stockings were filled with enough candy & food to last awhile. Both my parents and DW's parents gave the children cash. I think my oldest was disappointed that we didn't have another over the top Christmas this year, which gives me another opportunity to discuss contentment.

I pray all of you have a blessed Christmas season.
 
Just booked hotel for arrival day. Usually I stay at the Holiday Inn just off Lake Buena Vista but PoP was available for $99, $111 with tax. $5 more than the HI. Never stayed at Pop so another off the list.

Top O the Mornin Dads! Hope all had a great Christmas filled with lots of good family time and that Santa met the kids wishes!
 
Hope everyone had an enjoyable Christmas. Ours was nice but relatively quiet. Watched Christmas Story while having breakfast and then the loot was opened. I got a Seton Hall Sweatshirt and a cool T-shirt which will debut during DDC. The Pirate Princess made out fairly well, including a new regulator, mesh dive bag, waterproof case and gift certificate to a dive shop. Dinner went over well and we had dessert at the neighbor's house.

Monkey Bread Breakfast, made by the kid
