We have a birthday!!!!

Happy Birthday Lawsonsontour

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LAWSON!

Fed,
I cleaned it up a bit for you. Added a little bling here, a little chrome there. Make it feel a little more like home for you. You know, so that it matches your boat.

That's great!!!!

Here you go -

I don't usually laugh out loud at posts but I did when I saw this!

For those of you keeping track, DDC IV now has more posts than the Mom's club.

That signature of yours seems to grow every time I see it. I'm certain you've added another counter to it!

Maybe. Maybe not. The reality is Don, there isn't enough room for all of the trips that are on our planning calendar. DVC definitely makes that more possible though too. Knowing we have points to use each year on both coasts certainly helps. Now of course we probably won't go to each coast as a family each year (even though for the past 7 years we have - past performance does not guarantee future results), we currently do have trips penciled in through 2017 when Matthew, our middle son, should graduate from HS, including one year where we are planning to forego WDW and go to Hawaii instead, and hopefully stay at the new Aulani resort currently under construction on Oahu. And of course it doesn't mean we have to use our points for Disney vacations every year either... but that's our current mindset. Time will tell if it changes or not...

Obviously there needs to be some fluidity, as time will no doubt cause some things come or go -but still we plan.

Wow... 2017! I'm impressed. I'm still working on THIS year!
OH!... BTW... I had an interesting conversation last night with DW. She actually said... "You know... you're going to think I'm crazy... but we might be able to do two trip to WDW next year." Somebody pinch me!

You're getting her... the hook has been slowly sinking in - just wait til you get home from this upcoming trip and you can reel her in! Awesome stuff!

DD graduates HS in 2012 and I have the same idea. For her graduation present we would do a trip to Disneyland for a couple of days then over to Hawaii for a week (have always wanted to scuba dive there). There would be no way I could afford it without DVC. Rooms will be paid for but I imagine the flights are a BAZILLON dollars. Maybe if I eat dirt the whole thime we are over there, we can swing it.

And I thought I was an obsessive vacation planner. We still don't know where we're going next year!

Why would you think she was crazy?

2017 wow!

Very psyched for the meet at Rain Forest Cafe tomorrow.

Fed,

Are any dealerships selling the Dis Dad's Package as an add on? I want one of those!

 

[GoHerd1028]

I'm not "mechanical" so fixing something isn't in my skill set. My neighbor (mechanic) has a hunk of rust that resembles a '65 mustang coupe,(65? i dunno for sure.) which he's CLAIMED he's going to work on for the past 4 years.

I am glad to hear that I am not alone in this disability....I tell everyone that my toolbox has the yellow pages and a VISA card in it!

My advice? Skip the meal and go straight for the Sparkling Volcano!

Me too buddy, me too.

I've said it before... I only work to support my vacations.

I'm right there with you.
I'm pretty handy with computer issues, but beyond that I'm useless. With a few notable exceptions (refinishing some hardwood floors, some wiring stuff), my handyman efforts usually just end up costing us extra. We have to pay the guy who knows what he's doing to first undo what I've screwed up, then to fix the problem we had in the first place.

VOLCANO!!

The Volcano at the Rainforest Cafe is good, but if you ever have the chance when at DTD try the Chocolate Extinction at the T-Rex Restaurant.

Every bit as good as the Volcano in presentation and taste!

Correct.

 

[FreezinRafiki]

VOLCANO!!

You and Stopher need to order one (with two spoons) to share. Pictures are required.

Which one is going to have the rose in his mouth this time??????

Which one is going to have the rose in his mouth this time??????

NEITHER. Nor will there be a myriad of texts flying about trying to determine a meeting time/place. We already talked on the phone & know what each other looks like.
