Probably 100+ pages ago... Shhh! No spoilers! I'm waiting to watch it with DW at 9!




So this is my 1000th post. I want to thank all you guys for letting me be a part of this amazing group of men. Like Aaron says in the podcast intro, we are a diverse group, but we share a love for our kids, our families and all things Disney, and that is a wonderful group to be a part of. After lurking for a while on the disABILITIES section, I finally got a login in February of 2009 so that I could join the Dis Dads Club. Wanting to be less public (although I freely share my name with you all!), I changed my login a few months ago and cheated to bring my total up to where my old one was (so I really am at 1000). Along the way, I made some great friends, first virtually, and finally some in person. I have found a great deal of fun and support here and am extremely greatful for you all. Thank you. Some of you have taken me up on my unique job, and I happy to have the opportunity to help those in need and to give back to this incredible community. Please email me if you ever need anything. I know that I plan to continue to rely on all of you for laughs, for venting or for whatever else it is we do here. Looking forward to expanding our friendships over time and in person. Thanks, guys!

Doc,

Great post. Congrats on 1,000 Thanks for all of your input as well and advice.

Today was a hard day...Richards' funeral was today. Allison was of course unable to attend, but the doctors let Jacob out long enough to attend the funeral and come back. Dale told him this morning that his father had died. During the funeral I was sitting in the choir loft and could see him. There was a lost and confused look on his face and then total heartbreak. I can't imagine what was going through his mind today. Bless his heart! The church was packed and there was standing room only. During the funeral our pastor offered up a special prayer for Allison because while this was all going on she was undergoing a repeat MRI prior to her surgery tomorrow. There was not a dry eye anywhere. The procession to the cemetary was over a mile long we were told. Speaks a lot for his character doesnt it? We received a call this evening from Pastor and he told us that both Jacob and Allison were to have surgery again tomorrow. Jacob is having his jaw fixed. We did have some good news in the conversation this evening...The doctors told Dale that when they looked at her MRI this evening there has been some changes and that they feel after her surgery tomorrow she will be able to make a full recovery and walk again!! Praise The Lord!!! Please keep praying for her and the rest of the family!!! I pray the doctor is right

Thanks for the update Steve. We will keep paying on our end

I just wanted to say thanks to all of you for allowing me to have an outlet for my Disney addiction. I have laughed more reading this then I could have imagined. We have shared laughs, struggles and joys. Even though we may be seperated by miles and modem cables (they still use those, right??) we are bonded for our love of family and the dream that Mr. Disney brought to life. Cheers fellow DisDads

Welcome to all of the new dads as well

Wow!!!
It looks like a couple of Wisconsinites got captured by your camera!

Nope. No foam cheese anywhere in sight.




Man, it looks like I picked the wrong day to get sick and stay off the boards. Too much stuff to go back and comment on, but rest assured that if you posted happy news, I'm happy too. If you posted sad news, I'm sad too. If you made some wisecrack about Wisconsin (see above), you still owe me a pizza.

Welcome to all of the new guys and welcome back to all of the old guys!

Cockpit, what is it?

It's the little room in the front of the plane where the pilots sit, but that's not important right now

 

[stopher1]

Headquarters? What is it?

It's the big building where Generals meet, but that's not important right now

...and stop calling me Shirley!

Great 500th post! Very glad to have gotten to know you! Now if you'll only join us on facebook....

Praise The Lord!!! Please keep praying for her and the rest of the family!!! I pray the doctor is right

Thanks for the update, Steve! I grew up not believing in kids at funerals, but my wise DW showed me how wrong I was in that area. Its really helped my own kids get closure when relatives die. Will say a special prayer for the surgery.

Amazing pic, Mike! Congrats!

To all the new Dis Dads: Welcome! I'm sure that I missed a few!


AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN!!!

Happy Birthday Tex!

I must humbly beg entrance into your presence. I desperately need a fastpass into the DIS Dad's Club.

The Main Player
Me = Jerry, the Disney planner, KTTW keeper, ADR booker, Itinerary spreadsheet developer, Pixie Dust planner.

My Wife - Swallowed the Disney bait hook line and sinker. Got her when I told her she didn't know Disney like I knew Disney even though she had lived in Orlando for a year. Only thing she will ever admit I was right about.

DS (22) - The calm one. Graduating from NC State in May, but does that mean the money drain is over....please, it's on to law school now.

DD (16) - My new driver, think "Mad Tea Cups". Does want to do the Disney College Program of course.

DD (15) - Walking party. Like the afternoon parade.

DD (9) - Thinks the only channel is Disney. Most prized possessions are her Disney laptop and her autographed Goofy Ears.

DVC owners and admit to planning life around our Disney trip fixes.

Looks like you should fit in very well! Welcome to the club!
