Aww I am so sorry I missed this one, I am disappointed, I have an ostrich egg at home I would've tried it with... and don't ask why I have an ostrich egg... long story

There is no way you can say that and not follow through with the story....

 

[Emma's Dad]

Ya'll are working me out! Seriously, I need to get the next thread ready soon... you are FLYING through this one.

Had a good weekend... the preview day at BGW went well on Saturday. I posted a few pics up on FB. Not sure how long it will be before the Mach Tower is done... there's any the base sitting there looking all proud of itself. Although it took 45 minutes just to get to the parking booth, the ride waits were not that bad. And we managed to get the following rides done:

Griffon - 3 times
Apollo's Chariot - 3 times
Alpengeist - 2 times
The swings
Battering Ram
Tea cups
Europe in the Air (bad Soarin' knock-off)

And we even managed to catch live rehearsals for a new show they are putting together over in Italy. It's going to be a fantastic show!

 

[thebigdisneydaddy]

Sorry, dude. I don't think you can just leave it there!

Oh, I forgot to say this earlier: Welcome New Dads!

Yes, I agree. An explanation is most definitely needed.

Yeah, and we probably won't want to veer off topic.



So, why do you have an ostrich egg?

There is no way you can say that and not follow through with the story....

Alright alright, I really wanted to put that I stole it from our last Kilimajaro Safari ride, but the truth is, I had a friend in high school who's family raised ostrich's. They would sell them for meat ( they thought it was going to be all the rage, it wasn't). I decided to sneak into the cages one night, and found a very angry mother. I was able to get away and swiped an egg in the process. We cut a small hole, drained it and shellacked (sp?) the thing. Still keep it as a war trophy! !

as a funny side note, I had my oldest daughter convinced when she was little that mommy laid eggs, and that it was the shell she came out of, we just glued it back together. My wife was not happy with me when she found out, and when my daughter told everyone at pre school that mommy lays eggs.

Awesome, I have put together a zombie squad at work. We have a training day planned one afternoon at a paintball range, to see who can make it in the club.

Wow, I'm impressed that you've lived long enough to be able to re-tell that story. That's even better than the real story!

One of the other benefits of living here.


Hate that I missed that, I was on the highway last night but I was traveling north away from Rock Hill so I wouldn't have seen it anyway. I guarantee that I’d have pulled over and snapped a picture of that one.

Where did you run a cross that tid-bit. I can’t imagine that anyone who didn’t live down this way would even have heard of the Rock Hill Herald.

It was on msnbc's website

Wow, a lot of chattin' going on in here. If your company has a wellness program and you go home an hour early to exercise, then does that count as work time?

alright dad's, need some prayers, good thoughts and good vibes my way, got an interview tomorrow morning. Been out of work for over 9 months now with only a hand full of interviews in that time, despite hundreds of resume's sent out. This is not a great job, it's not architecture but it's something. Plus, if I actually do get the job, DW promised a Memorial Weekend Disney Celebration.....

 

[Rental01]

Man - it's been a while since I've been in here.

Okay, seven quick things:

1) The Official DisDad van is up for sale. I think that we need to get a fund together...

2) We usually go to Disney the week before the week that Thanksgiving falls on and have had great success - until last year. There were a jillion people and it was really annoying. Esp for ex-Floridians. We're thinking this year of going from 12/9-12/16 which should save us dollars and (maybe?) the crowd levels. My question is if it's a good time to go. When we usually go the weather is still pretty warm and it never rains. Last time we were there for 10days (11/12-11/21) and it didn't rain once. It was also nearly shorts weather the whole time (50s in the AM, 65 by 10-11a, then 70s in the afternoon). I've read through the TRs of the DisDads who made the early Dec meet and greet last year and it looked down right chilly on some of those days. So my three questions packed in one:

a) If'n we do this, what should I expect for crowd levels compared to something off-season but near a major holiday (so I have something that I can relate to my wife)?

b) Weather - do I need a big jacket? Really? It's Florida. I mean, if we do CSR (and we will), will it be too cold for my son to play at the pool?

c) Is the MVMCP worth the cost?

3) Look at #1 again - we NEED THIS VAN

4) Or this GMC Jimmy, but it's not a van (and I think Nate would hoard it to search for HMs)

5) I think my wife deletes this link from my favorites because it's been way too long since I've been there.

6) So... anything new?

7) I just wanted to end on a "7".

Prayers sent!

1) The Official DisDad van is up for sale. I think that we need to get a fund together...

Man... that's gonna need some work. Hey, Ron... can we borrow some of those spare engines you got laying around your garage? We'll get Fed's spinners for the wheels

5) I think my wife deletes this link from my favorites because it's been way too long since I've been there.

No... that's our link-remover-inator We silently installed it last month

6) So... anything new?

Just a BIZILLIAN new posts Did you catch the "cleanout" posts? Good reading there.....

Praying you get a good night of rest and that you do your best in the interview. Hope you get your Memorial Weekend Disney Celebration!

Ive have been that exact week. last December. I will never again go in December. It was frigid. Im from Denver so Im familiar with frigid, but this was a very unfriendly type of frigid!



a) If'n we do this, what should I expect for crowd levels compared to something off-season but near a major holiday (so I have something that I can relate to my wife)?
Crowd levels were awesome but refer to my first statement and I think you will understand why

b) Weather - do I need a big jacket? Really? It's Florida. I mean, if we do CSR (and we will), will it be too cold for my son to play at the pool?
Jackets were a must bring! Pool was out of the question!

c) Is the MVMCP worth the cost?
Yes it was fun. Not as fun as MNSSHP but still fun. The hot chocolate and cookies were a blessing to fight off the cold ( think I metnioned that already)

It starts out awesome when everything is neatly placed and the ice cream in still nice and cold. After a little while of working at it, the ice cream starts to melt and the digging of the spoons starts to mix everything up. By the end, you've got a sloppy mess in the bottom of the bowl - which my BIL started slurping up with a straw. Would I do it again?
In a heartbeat!

If you do the Kitchen Sink again too frequently, all you're going to have left is A heartbeat.

Read it - uh... yeah.

Talked about that with my wife who had to go through it when she was 28... uh, no. If that comes up for me, I'll just live in denial and die. No need for a camera crew to crawl up into that mess. If they want to see what was wrong with me they can wait until after I've vacated the body.
