DIS Dads The Dis Dad's Club II

[DisneyFed]

And a lot more people would complain if you shot a camel...

Yeah, probably..

Although I wouldn't even consider it...they might be smelly, but I consider camels to be pretty cool creatures. It's tough to survive out in this desert, but they get along just fine!! The one's I've come into contact with have been pretty gentle and laid back--just don't get between momma and baby (which goes for just about every animal I think)

Everytime I see a camel out here I can't help but have "Ahab the Arab" by Ray Stevens playing in my head

And I can't help but picture Yosemite Sam charging Bugs Bunny yelling "Whoa, Camel. Whoa Camel. Whhhhoooooooaaaa Camel<<whack>>. When I say whoa, I mean WHOA!!"

Sorry, just can't get it out of my head.

Well fellas, I been through a lot emotionally recently and needed somewhere to vent really. My Dad, has been diagnosed with a brain tumor and will be going in for surgery on Wednesday morning. We are still not sure if it is cancer yet, that will be determined after the procedure. He just turned 70 and is healhty as a horse otherwise. My mom is taking it hard and I feel I need to be strong for everyone, but it is a very difficult task. I'm not really sure why I am posting this here on a Disney site, but I thought all of us being Dad's you could relate. I guess I just needed to get it off my chest.

Thoughts and prayers for my Dad would be appreciated.

Thanks

My hopes and prayers go out to you, your dad and your family.

I'm glad you packed a sense of humor!

Great! Now I'm gonna think about this all day...

OK... don't check this out if you have a daughter that's getting married soon. You may find yourself needing some tissues....

Father/daughter dance to "Cinderella"

It was nice of him to share this moment.

Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes...
(Here in TN we always changed the next line to say...)
Lice in her hair and a booger in her nose...oh oh.

And I can't help but picture Yosemite Sam charging Bugs Bunny yelling "Whoa, Camel. Whoa Camel. Whhhhoooooooaaaa Camel<<whack>>. When I say whoa, I mean WHOA!!"

Camels is so stupid...sassafrashingrumblegrumblegrowl.

I often use that one on a certain poodle I know.

Well, I think that based primarily on criteria #4 and #78, I'm in! My entire family thinks I'm completely obsessed, and mostly nuts... Quote from my wife from just last night, "I'm trying to talk to you about school shopping, and all you want to talk about is Disney... Enough already!"

She just doesn't get it.

A few recommendations of things to do (in no particular order):

1. Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for the 6 y/o. I can't wait till my DD 17mos is old enough for me to take her.
2. Take the "girls" to Afternoon Tea at the Grand Floridian Garden View Lounge (2pm-4:30pm)
3. Breakfast at Cinderella's Royal Table or the Princess Storybook Breakfast at Akershus in Epcot's Norway. I prefer Akershus, but would recommend CRT if you've never done it since it is in THE castle!
4. Cinderella's Gala Feast at 1900PF (dinner). You and your DW will enjoy the antics as much (or more) than your 's
5. One really nice dinner for the DW at Epcot (Le Celier, Chef's de France or Tutto Italia come to mind).

Good luck with the planning.

prince43princesses,

These are great suggestions. Just wanted to add:

1. If your DD2 will be 3 by trip time, she could do BBB as well.
4. We did the feast at 1900 Park Fair last time we were there. Had a great time and the food was really good.

I feel your pain, bro. My oldest is 17 & will probably be getting her license soon enough (just a permit for now...) She actually just lost her driving privileges for a while (long story.) I still have four more to go!

On top of all that I just hit 40.
