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

[AirGoofy]

30 mph winds today on the start of outdoor HS tennis team practice.

I like that area as well.
Shoot for something in the less developed area in between those two spots.
A good compromise on the distance and likely less expensive.
me.

True. I know I can't afford to live on the ocean, but it is great listening to those waves come in. Unless Jim buys a beach house and builds me a guest house behind it, we'll probably end up in the Vero area, which is ok by me. I'd like to land a new construction neighborhood like I did here. My house was one of the first built (maybe home #30) in this now 500+ home subdivision, is 15 years old, and has had no major maintenance as it was built brand new. I'd like to get that run out of home #2.

Starting with the east coast of Florida and heading to the Carolina's as a search area. Beaches and/or water access seem to be the consolation I have given DW to move south. Preferrably without large alligators waiting for brunch to be served. I'll let you know what we find. Neighbors would be fun, especially the pirate ship tree house.

Yes, I could live in the pirate ship tree house. I'm even ok whatever location you choose since I get a free home. Thanks for the offer.

Holy crap, I may have to hand in my DisDads card. I think I'll get to keep it based on a technicality - assuming you agree that "bad at math" is a technicality. Yesterday was 180 days before our check-in to a DVC Poly studio. My (bad) math thought it was today. (I think I can blame Leap Year). Anyway, I get an email about 15 minutes before I'm about to leave work saying that today is 180 days. Yikes! Luckily, we're only doing two meals on the trip that require ADRs and I was able to quickly hop online and grab what I wanted. Incidentally, both are at Ohana - dinner on 8/19 and breakfast om 8/22.

I do forget you have a young en still. We stopped doing all those ADRs, and I only have to get a few. Kona dinner was one of those, but not essential at the 180 mark.

Gotta luv anyone in a Chicago Blackhawks sweater

I thought you might like that one.

Good afternoon Dads. If you could keep me in your thoughts and prayers..... I'll be spending time with Carl this afternoon. It just dawned on me, he will be wearing swim trunks. Lol.
I'll post some pics a little later. If I got to see it, you gotta see it! Lol
"Zerfs taken one for the team" lol

Just try not to get his picture in the bathroom.

Let's just add another DisDad meet.



Is anyone counting these?

 

[Emma's Dad]

I have to agree with you. I'm the same way. I always feel the need to find out what it looks like back there and how it works. I love amaerican adventure now that I seen how it works in person and just in aw over the attractions. The only part that, I can't say ruined the magic, but made me realize it's a cruel world out there, is some of the stories I have herd from dd. The company, nothing but respect for dd and took care of her and went above and beyond for her.
Management, couldn't ask for better. Some of the guest...... Again, I may be a little bias, after all she is my little girl, but in her nine months she was called every name in the book. EVERY. Had money thrown at her, called a thief and was chased by a grown man. Told to go ..... Herself by some lady because she was doing her job. I know, it's all part of the job, I just never realized what cms put up with. This is all a daily occurrence. So it didn't ruin the magic, for me,it just made me realize there are some crazy people in the world and they go to wdw. Lol
Just an FYI, security ( not the uniform guys) took care of the chaser. She called home crying, she was in the breakroom and didn't want to go back out there. Security made her feel a lot better and promised he was long gone and will never see him again.
She said the thing that really creeped her out at first, everyone so often a person, male or female with a family in tow or alone would stop at her cart, show her a badge and ask if everything ok. Lol Secirity is every where. They are not told who they are and they is no way to identity them until they show you there badge. Lol
You may think your standing next to USA mom with her husband and kid in a stroller...... Cue the music lol
There was a guy one night who stood in the cross walk during a parade. The guy she was working with asked him to please move. The guy said if you think your big enough to move me, move me. Uniform security ask him the same thing with no results. Soon as dd said, three huge dudes came out of caseys corner, the said, sir, you are going to move one way or the other, he chosed the other lol. Needless to say he was moved and was takin behind Main Street in seconds. All over the matter of taking three steps to one side or the other. Lol
I also was told, just because your in the dark,don't mean they can't see you, don't try it. Lol

Where's Fed when you need more stories like this??
On a more serious note... I can't believe that happened to her!! Sheesh. And yes, there are some crazy people there at times.

Good afternoon Dads. If you could keep me in your thoughts and prayers..... I'll be spending time with Carl this afternoon. It just dawned on me, he will be wearing swim trunks. Lol.

Tell Carl we all said hi! And keep those shorts on!

Almost 60, sunny and windy so I pulled the row covers on my winter vegetable project. Felt good just getting out and away from the computer for an afternoon.

Glad the kid was OK and nice to know that there is redundancy in the security whether you see it or not.

Happy Friday. Looking forward to the weekend. Nothing major scheduled, just the usual basketball, futsal, swim, and tennis. Looks like I get two Spring Breaks this year, which is definitely enjoyable.

Back to Disdad meets.

Trip to Hazard for groceries and working on taxes. Not sure which of us has it better.

... but we don't always get what we want, now do we?.
A sentiment well expanded upon in the acclaimed philosophical writings of doctors Jagger and Richards.

One I quote often to my kids but they miss the reference. DD likes contemporary Christian and DS likes old country (Johnny Cash, Jim Reeves, etc.)

We all want to have CJ World Problems.

I'll stick with my own. Better the devil you know and all that and I wouldn't be allowed to bring home any souvenirs from the beach. Better yet, would be a long stretch of no problems for all of us and our loved ones.

Happy Weekend Dads!

Wow! I love all these little nuggets of info!! I have a brother-in-law who works security for Wal-Mart, and they're the same way. You never know who is shopping next to you that's checking out the cans of beans you're hiding in your sweatshirt. Keep these stories coming!

Wow! What really amazes me is that most of the time we have no idea these things are even happening.

That mean's they're doing it right!

whew! Glad it worked out ok!

I would say only a minimal fine like one less Dole Whip on your trip.

I say we make him eat the whole kitchen sink... while drinking the Beverly!

I would love to have my name on there.

Happy Saturday morning. Everyone is still asleep and I get to enjoy the quiet. I'll drop oldest off for swim, go play tennis, and then back to take her home. Younger dd started travel bball program last night. It's a new program in town that offers training for multiple sports, but it will be half of her middle school team that competes.

Time for Disdad meets.



This one might be more challenging.

Love to hear people are creating multi-sport programs for kids. The best athletes are always multi-sport athletes.

They did a great job raising money for the Special Olympics. No way would I be able to jump into freezing water once, let alone 24 times.

10 points for Randall. Picture in a WalMart parking lot.

Agree. Oldest did year round swim this last year. I am going to have her play tennis in the summer. Youngest seems to have settled on basketball and soccer. This wasn't the best of facilities I've been in, but they had enough equipment and had two excellent trainers.
