DIS Dads The DIS Dad's Club X: Por favor mantengase alejado de las puertas

[afwdwfan]

Hi Everyone,

I'm Chris (yes, another one ) and I'm a Disney addicted dad. My "passion" for the great Disney vacation is great indeed, causing more than one funny look and shaking of heads from family and friends . As such, I have found my way to the sympathetic land of those who are also just as crazy about the mouse .

Although I went to WDW a few times (3) as a youngster (grew up in FL), I didn't get into the groove until I met my DW and she decided to be my bride . We went on a Disney Cruise for our honeymoon and spent a couple days at WDW (MY Disney resort, her's in DLR ). Luckily, they had a DVC channel that fed evil thoughts of ownership into my DW's brain, so we decided to buy into the DVC while at WDW (this was sort of a wedding present to each other and my B-Day present (Jan 2005). Our real wedding presents to each other were Disney watches ).

Thanks to the power of the DVC, we have been to WDW five times and my family has been to DLR twice. I missed the first trip (to DLR) with them (2008) due to being deployed to the middle east (Navy Reserve). The second was this last May, and was my very first trip to Disneyland. So in seven years of marriage, we've had seven trips...cool!

In our family, I consistently brainwash my DW and DD5 with ride and queue music, and I make sure we don't miss an episode of Travel Channel specials on all things Disney (on the fence about the new HGTV yard show, though). I also managed to turn my DD into a major Star Wars fan (unintentional, I assure you ). When I showed her the connection between Star Wars and Disney, she was very excited (she enjoyed watching the Jedi Academy at DLR).

Future plans? We recently moved to Portland, Oregon area from Colorado Springs, so I'm looking forward to getting our "forever" house and pimping it out Disney style

Quite a nice post. It looks like you will fit in very well around here. Welcome to the club!

Idiots should not be permitted a license. What were they driving?

I was only disappointed that I didn't see a crack in that plastic bumper when I pulled away.

It seems that Jan. is the BIG AAA WDW push month, if you booked during the month of Jan you got the luggage + a $25 WDW GC, plus we got Kids play, eat & stay free deal, since it was offered by Disney for our dates

So look in Jan to see if they are offering any deals and grab them

Evening all...hope its been a good friday for all....Welcome back, even if Briefly, Stopher....have a blast. Nice to see that the thread is still going...


Work situation update: Talked to the boss a bit this afternoon, and the District Manager will do his best to accomidate my requests, so sooner or later, it'll happen. He admitted he wished I had held on a bit longer, the Assistant Manager I've had some issues with put in for a lateral transfer to the Niagara region, and there is a shot he'll get it, but I admitted, that regardless, it's time for me to move on to new challenges, it's been neearly 9 years, I think it's getting stale there, and it's other people too that are getting to me. Best of all, Queen Beverly continues to pull her acts, and it's REALLY getting to him....fun to watch. So the transfer will happen, just no timeline for it, the conditions have to be right (the right store to place me in, mainly is because, believe it or not, I do NOT drive, so I need to be able to access it through the bus lines). I kinda hope now, it happens in September, after all the vacation time is done. If not, no biggie, all my vacation time has been approved, so no matter where I go, it has to be honoured. The new store is out, not happening any time soon, but I'd take the smaller store down the street, well within walking distance (15-20 mins tops). The manager there does yearly Disney World trips anyways

Welcome Chris!

Welcome and help yourself to the snacks and whatever else you can find.

Some people on here tend to find it hard to stay on topic but if you mention BACON you can usually get their attention.

DD1 today pointed to a package of bacon in the store and asked me to say what it is...."bacon"....she then does this baconbaconbaconbacon chant.

If bacon doesn't work, just try Jasmine...
