Checking in!

Made it to the airport! Our flight's not until 10am, but the kids were all up before 6am, bouncing through the halls. Had to do the final pack with each of them (backpacks, bed stuff/blankies/etc, toothbrushes) before I could shower. Left the house at 7:15, at the airport by 8am. Based on previous years, we wanted to give us 2 hours.

But there is no one here! The shuttle was empty, no line at the counter, no line at security, no line at McDonalds for breakfast. I think we did the whole check-in thing in 10 minutes, max.

Settled in at the gate now. Kids broke out their DS's & DW & I having coffee. Stop-over at BWI, then onto MCO!

Have a good day, guys!

Heard over the loud speaker as you enter the MK: "Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a celebrity in our midst. Representing the World Famous DisDads and hailing from the great state of Conneticut make way for DisDadDoc. Please allow him and his family to the head of every line. Thank you and have a magical day"

Happy Friday everyone !!! ! I am soooo happy the week is almost over. I am feeling the need to use alittle personal time thi afternoon and go home early.

I found it funny you guys were talking about travel agents yesterday. Earlier this week I submitted a couple of e mails to try and join an agency for some part time work on the side. I am planning trips for 3 friends right now, I figured I might as well get something for doing it all the time anyway

Thats the beuaty of what we do! We are doing something we would normally do anyways for free. We dont charge the customer as we get paid through Disney! AND its something that sales itself! Kind of like being a Dole Whip salesman!!!

Morning fellers!!!

Another successful week of accomplishing nothing...and getting paid for it.

Yeah, I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.

Mornin' Dads....

One more day of work to get through!!!

Not looking forward to the 17 hour drive through the night tonight with the storms rolling over I-77.

I don't know how bad those storms are, but we hit a doozy of one driving down one time. Wipers on high and it still couldn't keep up. Creeping along at 20mph or so. Luckily it passed pretty quickly and I was able to open up the throttle on the minivan and make up for lost time.

 

[Emma's Dad]

Looks like somebody forgot their quoting abilities again... Dont worry Nemesis, I fixed it for you.

IT'S OFFICIAL! Page one updated

OK, so I did the drive-by the other day and joined but am just now getting around to introducing myself. I see I've been given a # so I My family consists of me Justin (33), DW34 Alexis, DD5 Adeline, & DD7mos Gwendolyn. We live in NW Indiana in what could be considered a suburb of Chicago.

We just got a trip on the books for the last week in September this year. One of DW's good friends has DVC and is treating us to 6 nights in a GV at OKW. This will be our 4th trip to WDW in 4 years. Previous trips were 08 ASM, 09 CBR, and last year we rented a house nearby and only made it to the MK (DW was preggers so it was more of a relaxing trip).

Not sure how often I'll post but I will be reading. I can be quite sarcastic so I'll try not to offend anyone.....

Wow... very nice friend, indeed! Updated page one with your name

Welcome Justin....feel free to chime in with any and all sarcasm...you'll see quite a bit of that here.

And oh, by the way, congrats on snagging that older woman!!!

<--------Member of the Older Woman snagging club!

For a second I thought that read "Older Woman Nagging club"!!

<--------Also member of the above-mentioned club... although a more lady-friendly club title would replace "Older" with "Experienced"

Yes, I have a name... it's Sandy...like the beach

Stangman was based on my Ford Mustang facination and it's been a name I've been using on the Internet for a loooooooong time. Anyone remember when the Internet was text based? No Internet Explorer, no websites, and searches took days instead of seconds? That's how long I've been using that name.

Page 1 updated

That is a real accomplishment. While I didn't have 20 years, I quit that same year as well.

Congrats! It is NOT easy. I tried just about every form of cessation program or product and nothing worked for me. One day I just said "I quit"... and never picked up another one. Cold turkey. Still get an urge every once in a while.

Was a blast! Josh was very excited to join us last night and Im sure he was playing with the podcast long after I went to bed.

I think we need to make Josh an honorary member... anyone want to second this motion?

Glad you made it so far. Right about now is when I'm making the mental checklist of things I forget to bring... inevitably I ALWAYS forget something. Just read my TR's...

Scott, Have a safe trip tonight!!!


I didn't get the chance to recommend sunflowers seeds in the shell. I travel a ton in the car for work and that works great for me.

NO OWNAGE ALLOWED PER STOPHER

That was my thinking. I love planning trips and helping others plan theirs. Now I get a little something from Disney for it. (Not to mention the tax write-offs for taking vacations.)

Have fun and drive safely!

Going car "shopping" tomorrow. Looking at our friends who own a Ford dealer. I dont think they have anything that seats 7 smaller then the "Bus" (Excursion). Need something with MPG not GPM. Any suggestions. We are in a Saturn Relay 3 right now. Love my Saturn but its time to move on since they did. Sad!

We have a Tahoe and really like it. We got the middle bench seat with a removable back row. It can seat 7, but the leg room in the back row isn't very good. That probably doesn't help you if you're going to a Ford dealership though... good luck!

Just get a Ranger. Make the kids ride in back. You can easily get 8 or 10 of them back there, plus all your stuff.
