DIS Dads The DIS Dad's Club VII - Oh Peanut Butter...

[FreezinRafiki]

Do you mean me?
Here' my big news:
Our granddaughter, Anna Rose, was born at 3:19 AM Sunday! She checked-in at 8lbs 11oz and 21 1/2 inches! Our DD was only in her room at the hospital for 19 minutes before Anna Rose arrived! She was nearly born at home or in the car! Anyway, our 22 month old grandson, Rider, is vacationing with us for a couple days so I don't have much computer time.

Congrats! Yes, the first Disney trip is important, but even more so - when does she get her Blue Angels crest?

Or you can do what I am planning and let the kids give it to her as a surprise. She can't get mad at them.

You, sir, are a genius.

Just ordered mine! Thanks for doing this, Don!

So, 10 XLs and 7 XXLs so far. I wonder why no larges?

To many Bacon Bombs!!??

Ordered my shirt, I couldn't decide what color to get and there were so many options. I sat there forever staring at the choices... I eventually closed my eyes and clicked on a random color. . . It will be a surprise now.

Hmmmm... could be our first pink order?

I was just thinking the same thing...

I LOVE this idea.
I've been quietly plotting a surprise trip to WDW for just DW and me, to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary (still a couple of years away). The two biggest hurdles to get figured out have been:
1) How to tell her without getting my head bitten off (which I think thebigdisneydaddy has just solved for me). AND
2) She's an attorney in solo practice, and she's a litigator. How do I schedule her to be out of the office and out of town for a week, without leaving her disbarred and with angry clients. This one, I haven't really solved yet.

I was going to order pink, but thought it would clash with my man purse.

CRUD! I'll never be able to catch up on my reading with this many pages flying by in a day!
Sounds great, Dave! Bangor is a bit of a haul for us but if we are ever up that way at 6:00 AM we'll check it out!

Here we go ~~~~~~

Congratulations Mike Wow 19 minutes really was cutting it close.

Here's the situation:

We are going to WDW this August, but no one knows aobut it (not even dw). We went last August and I couldn't help myself (lol), I book the reservations before the deadline for free dining last December. I have been paying it off slowly, month by month. dw is always worried about the money situation. Her birthday and our anniversary are coming up in April.

What do you think would be the best way to break the news to her and not wind up in the doghouse?

Do you have pics or a video from your last trip? You could look at that with her and reminisce. While you're in the moment, casually mention "Wouldn't it be great to go back". If she says "yes" then you can say "Surprise I've already got a trip booked for us"

Is it a milestone B-day or Anniversary. My wife gets worried about money all the time (works in school, always saying they might have to hand out pink slips)

When it comes to a WDW trip, seems any money worry is gone (guess because I'm flipping the bill)

When in August are you going

Thanks for the tip. Not a scout but old Disney movies are always
good.. Added it to the ole Netflix queue.

Oh yeah, my DD came up to me last night and asked to watch it again! I'm ready to... perhaps this evening. It's a really good, feel-good kind of movie... just what Walt loved to produce.

Do you have an Aulani TR? Didn't see one in your sig?

Not yet. Aulani is scheduled to open August 29th. We're looking at our first trip "home" sometime in summer of 2012 - though that might get pushed in to 2013 due to my Philmont trip next summer - and I'm looking at taking a mission trip with my church to Kenya as well - so... Hawaii might need to wait a few more months.

I already tried Jedi mind tricks. They don't seem to work.

I know....right? I think my medichlorine count is low. I need to go in for a check-up

 

[Cinderella's Fella]

Christopher, is it to early start the end?

 

[afwdwfan]

Christopher, is it to early start the end?

We've got to be getting close... I think Stopher might be stretching the fingers right now and getting them ready for the run to the finish.

 

[stopher1]

Christopher, is it to early start the end?

Yes. Perhaps another day is needed still, but not much more than that.

 

[DisDadDoc]

Christopher, is it to early start the end?

YES! Please, no!

[Goofy + 3]

Did anybody notice that today is Disney Fanatic's birthday? Just thought I'd give a shout out to the dad that started all this.

 

[that's nice]

YES! Please, no!

Any word on your guests?
