DIS Dads The Dis Dad's Club III

[tutter99]

Ok dads, I have to share this one. I made like 17 video's from the 1000+ pics/video's I took @ Disney over the Christmas holiday. This is the one from ICE!. I'll try to post more as I can.

Your two y/o seems rather suspicious of the whole thing. Cute kids!

Alright dads...tomorrow will be two weeks to go to we have our third DS! Can not wait to meet this one. So far I have two that are huge Disney fans, and I am looking forward to introducing the new one to Disney. Tonight we finished the babys room and the 3 yo found a goofy stuffed animal in the crib. He got pretty upset that we were wasting Goofy on him. His response "Thats my Goofy, not Gabes Goofy"! The baby isn't even here yet and the fighting is starting. Good times!

I don't know what would more stressful, knowing the exact time the new baby will come or the waiting for weeks knowing it could be any minute. Either way, congrats on the pending arrival, and enjoy the last few nights of uninterrupted sleep.

Maybe school does not like that, but I am happy to see kids fight back when others are pushing/ picking on them. Too often, we teach them not to fight, but the bullies still keep to pick on them and no one helps the others. My two DDs (7,5) could not fight their way out of a wet paper bag. I have taught them how to tackle, drive with their legs, plant their head, wrap their arms, and drive them into the ground. I even let them practice on me, and they hit really hard. Yet, the oldest comes home last year with a new favorite color because a girl she wants to be friends with likes that color

The school's here have a zero tolerance for any kind of fighting, If push or punch even if the other person did it to you 1st and your defending yourself you get in as much trouble as the them.
When I was in school we use to call it Playground Justice, seemed the teachers didn't get there as quick to break it up, and the next day you would be friends.
My son also uses me as a punching bag, he's at the hieght now that I really need to invest in a cup
He is taught in Karate not to use what he knows, unless someone is trying to hurt him, but at 4 it's alot different then if you are older.

Mom was miserable, but then again, she didn't want to take my advice on what to wear, relying mostly on the parka. She lasted about 15 minutes. The little one didn't handle it too well either. The older one was ok until the ice slide.

slide my butt down on a hunk of ice and i would be cold too!! i was cold just watching!

Maybe we'll meet you someday when we're out in the woods Geocaching!

Just make sure if you come across a big x marked on the ground you don't stand on it.

She is doing good. Today is 37 weeks and she is off of all meds and off of bed rest. They feel that at this point what ever happens, happens. It has been a long month and a half but it is all worth it.

It is funny you say that. We narrowed it down to either Nathaniel or Gabriel. It was a tough decision but we ended up going with Gabriel David. Gabriel was a result of one of the many Doctors that we saw during the pregnancy. He was a Revolutionary war buff and thought that our first two kids had good solid colonial names and we should keep that going with the third child. The David is for both of our brothers. I have an older brother named David and my wife had a younger brother named David that died a few years ago from cancer.

Besides Nathan is a little "corny"

Shucks.

Nathan David wouldn't work...as if you say them fast and with a southern accent...they sound allot alike...there allot of time when people holler David...I turn around and look.

DS9's 1st Middle name is Gabriel.

Both of my kids have 2 Middles...

DS15 Jayce Emmanuel Willis (aka Boy)
DS9 Chance Gabriel Halyn (aka Tiny)

We use that 2nd Middle when they are in trouble.

Just checked the weather... it's going to be 50 today!! I may have to go put on my shorts and t-shirt when I get home....

So last night I'm chilling out on the couch and I open my Facebook account... to find a message from one of our friends from church. Here's an excerpt from the message:

I am starting to plan our trip to Disney World this summer. We went years ago, stayed with grandparents. We have never taken the kids! I remember that you guys seem to go often and was wondering if you had any advice. Specifically I am looking for 1) a good deal, do you know where the best place to book? 2) Good place to stay, any recommendations (Laura has recommended Disney All-Star Movie) and 3) Dinning plans, do you guys do that. I appreciate any advice you can offer.

Hehe... I felt so honored reading it! This is the first request I've had from a family to help them with their vacation. We invited them over for dinner some night to discuss the options in person. This is going to be fun

Here is a question for eveyone as far as booking your Disney vacations. Who do you book through?

We have not been members of AAA during our previous trips and we had problems with the local Disney "expert" travel agent, so we have been doing it ourselves through Disney. Just curious to see what other people do?

Our first trip was booked though AAA... and it was OK. Our local office was not very knowledgeable when it came to Disney for some reason. Last year we booked online through Disney.com.... and did the same this year.

Hope everything is working out for the new "package" arriving today

I guess I should be doing the single digit dance too...8 days!!!

I see WDW has 25%-45% off rate for dates before June 3rd.

Though I'd stay away fron that last week in May.

Last year was my first onsite stay and I did it through the WDW website.

Previous stays offsite I bought tickets via work...and booked elsewhere online.

it was good!! we have been married for 25 years, we dont fight about anything anymore, life is to short, we just have fun. she had to go into new york city for the day for work so she text me about dinner. so we met at the rest. our conversation was how we both were tired and wanted to take a shower and go to bed. in our house, who ever gets out of the shower last has to wipe the walls down. so, that led to the race home. i would have tripped her but she goes in the back and i go into the front door.she had a straight shot to the bathroom. our dd was on the phone when we came in and you can hear her laughing, she said to her girlfriend, my parents are racing again. yes, were 44 years old.

That's fantastic! Sounds like you keep each other young!

We always book it ourselves. It seems like the best discounts are offered directly through Disney and their website--AAA doesn't seem to give you as much bang for the buck. I feel like between these boards and our own research, we know enough to be able to maximize savings on our own.

We did book our cruise last November through a travel agent--this was because doing so didn't cost us anything and allowed us to get extra onboard credit.
