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

[Captain_Oblivious]

Just got a call from a friend, a very close friend, who my DD called uncle, and was the sweetest man in the world, passed last night. I just can't do it.

Man, I'm so sorry. Praying for you and his family.

When I first read this, I thought, "He got ready IN the office? Did he actually sleep in the office?!"

That was close to happening last winter. We had a storm so I sent everyone home early in the afternoon. I stayed a couple more hours and when I tried to get out of the parking lot I couldn't make it. I was hunkered down in the office until about 9 or 10 pm until the plow showed up. Since that night I keep a sleeping bag in my trunk.

I've done this before. I have to report to work even during storms and weather events to help coordinate emergency work, so that sometimes means bringing a sleeping bag to the office.

Today's top WDW list ................. Top 3 souvenirs you brought back from DaWorld for either you or a family member and if you still have them. May use this one for a couple of days as it wold be cool to see some pics.

Hmm...most of mine are t-shirts. I'm not real creative. I have a WDW hoodie I wear a lot. And an old Epcot "Mickey flags" coffee mug that is one of my favorites. And we have some cool Christmas ornaments.

I did get an Aloha Isle sign to decorate a room. We were trying to do a bit of a Hawaiian theme in there.

And the week just keeps getting better by the day. That's dripping with sarcasm if you couldn't tell. Just got a call from a friend, a very close friend, who my DD called uncle, and was the sweetest man in the world, passed last night. I just can't do it. If I didn't have to be at work today I'd call in, but I'm not sure how much I'm going to get done today.

Top O the Mornin Dads! Hope all are doing well with these crazy times. Major hospital in our area, Williamson Medical Center, communicated that as of Monday this week there were zero COVID-19 patients in the the hospital with the last one discharged this past Saturday. We are a pretty good populated county just south of Nashville so I found this to be some positive news regarding this thing. Since we started opening up more last week will be interesting to see what happens to the cases. Not trying to create any conspiracy stuff just thought I would share a bit where we seem to be beating this thing a bit in some areas. Be safe my friends.

Starting to run out of WDW top list ideas so if I accidentally post one we already did, sorry.

For the record, Top 3 shops / stores (that aren't bars):

1. World of Disney
2. Dok Ondar's - taking DS in there, priceless
3. Mouse Gears

Good to hear some good news about the virus situation. I quit listening to the news as it was too depressing and my mood improved. Anyone hear from Rob GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes lately? He's been off the boards for sometime.

I only need to list one top souvenir...she turned 16 last month and is "Daddy's Girl"

I'm really sorry man, for both your losses. All the best to you and the familes.

Top 3 Stores / Shops

Top 3 souvenirs you brought back from DaWorld for either you or a family member and if you still have them.

That I paid for? OK.

Haunted Mansion Outside Sign
A stuffed Baby Simba that Curly haired Ninja has had since she was 1. She still sleeps with it. Its the most raggedy a$$ thing you ever did see after 5 years. And however many times you wash it, it still stinks of baby spit.
Halloween Countdown clock from Paris.

Anyone hear from Rob GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes lately? He's been off the boards for sometime.

I reach out to him every 6 weeks or so. Sometimes I feel like I'm nagging him a bit. He said he's OK.

But I have gotten a few for the DDs.

Really sorry to hear about this

How much was the buff?

I bought them preseason for $29, the price goes up through the season and past seasons can get very pricey. Looks like this current season is sold out, but here’s the site I used anyway.

I take it you quite like this programme

What gave you that idea?
I shamefully admit to having a buff collection. It’s the only thing I’ve really wasted money on.
They never had a Survivor UK edition?


Forgot to quote it, but souvenirs:
Character artwork
Picture frames with our trip photos
Some t-shirts, especially Big Thunder Mountain which I didn’t see often

Hey DISDads,

I am ashamed to say that I haven't been on the boards in years. Mom died, Dad died, Dog died, and recently divorced. I NEED a Disney trip so I am praying that this Covid crap will be over soon. I definitely have to be at the next DDC convention. God bless you guys and continue to keep me in your prayers.

First I’m sorry to hear about your struggles. Seems life is hard for many now. Wishing you the best.

Second, is that DIS Dad #1 I see by your name? So we have you to thank - or blame - for this group? Very nice to see you back.

Third, really interesting to see a Survivor logo on your shirt in the picture. We just had a discussion after I posted a picture of my buff on the previous page.

Afternoon boys from future time. Lottery numbers for sale. No questions asked. My usual cut of the profits.
Absolutely slammed at work but there's always time for a bit of Disdaddery.

They never had a Survivor UK edition?

I don't ever remember it mate, but that certainly would not be an indication that there wasn't one. Not my cup o' tea. Its good to have a collection thing. Mine is Bourbon, but it keeps disappearing.....

A drink in quarantine now over here has the name of a "furlough Merlot".

I am ashamed to say that I haven't been on the boards in years

Welcome back sir, and like the others said, sorry to hear your troubles and best wishes! Hopefully this will be more of a regular thing
Well done for setting this thing up, it must be kinda gratifying to see it go on for about 3000 pages and 10 meet ups.

I shamefully admit to having a buff collection.

I had one of those when I was a teenager, but I'm pretty sure we are talking about different things.

Have a phenomenal day fellas
