DIS Dads The DIS Dad's Club XII: Oh... There You Are Perry!

[afwdwfan]

Got an E-mail from Touringplans this morning. I haven't looked at the details yet, so not sure what's causing it, but the crowd rating went up for everyday we're going to be at Disney World. Don't people know they aren't supposed to go that week?

You're just so popular that everybody is trying to be like you. You've single handedly created a rush on WDW. If this applies to other areas of your life, hook a fellow disdad up and let us know before you buy any stocks so we can get in early.

Sounds like you need to anonymously post about a heightened terrorist risk that week at the WDW. What did it increase to? Depending on how much it increased it may just have made making RD more important.

Great gift ideas - cake and beet (not George Wendt, but appreciate the namesake).

Happy Birthday to my wonderful DH!


Norm's birthday so he has birthday ownage!

I told her to stay off the thread. I'll take care of her tonight with a butt whoopin.

Thanks for the birthday wishes guys.

Happy Birthday Norm!!




Of course being a smart a$$ I can't let this go without one shot at humor. When Lauren starts asking questions just tell her that all the Disney pricing is based on 2 adults and 2 children so it was just easier to do the math if you got another kid.

I appreciate everyone's comments, advice, and prayers......I too think he is just trying to get thigns straight in his head....but...I am going to remember Randy's response to give to Lauren soon LOL

Still not bad crowds... 3's & 4's. Everyday of our trip got increased by 1 point though. AK increased considerably every day... not sure what's going on there?

We actually might switch a couple of days around in the itenerary. We had been thinking about some changes, and the new crowd ratings might actually be in favor of a couple of them. Too late to change ADRs though.

it increased to 3's and 4's? Wow thats pretty awesome, your increase took the crowd level all the way from "hey, there is the other family in the park" to "it's nice to stop in a line for a few minutes instead of just walking on most everything thing."

Happy Birthday to my wonderful DH!


Norm's birthday so he has birthday ownage!

Happy Bday Norm from the hollers of eastern KY. Give me a heads up and I could line you up with some white lightning that would either make you feel like 18 or 81.

Hey Guys.....keep us in your thoughts and prayers.....Ethan has been asking A LOT of questions about adoption. He is starting to understand what it means. We have never hidden the face from him or Lauren that they are adopted. He has asked why his birthmom did not want him....and we have tried to explain that it was not a case of not wanting him but not being able to provide for him and give him the life that someone else can give him. It is hard to explain this stuff to a 6 year old in a way that he can understans...this evening he asked about her not being able to afford him...He is obvioulsy processing the information and mulling it over in his mind. I have dreaded this day for 6 years but knew that it would come. We have a journal that she wrote to him during her pregnancy in her own handwriting trying to explain to him why she made the choices she made...but...I just dont think he is ready for that...if anyone had any ideas on how to approach this when other questions come up I am all ears.....I keep thinking that we have to have these conversations with Lauren eventually also...

Will keep you in our prayers. I also have no advice to offer, but in the end love conquers all. Still, I can imagine the heartache and it's not going to be easy.

hello all, late start today. we are going to epcot normal open today. (we will be back around noon im sure for a nap) my ride buddy is not with me on this trip so some of the thrill rides are off the table. but thats ok. we are eating at tepen edo tonight, ill take pics.
i know most of you guys all have young kids but if you ever wonder or thought why would you come here with no kids, try it. we are having a blast!! walk by all those character lines for starters!!! we have not rushed, walked fast for anything (but the restroom one time) not even a "whats next". i have always planned on coming down for 10-11 nights just us than again for about 8 nights with briana every year, or dare i say oneday grandkids, and i now tammy is well on board with the idea. she even asked if we have enough points to do this every year. i knew she would come around but i thought it would take at least tuesday to fiqure it out not thursday!
so if your looking for me today, you may find me on a bench over by the fountain, watching again!

Sounds like a GREAT time! A whole nother week!?!

I get by there a few times a year. I was in Richmond Wed. But, I've stayed in Prestonsburg, Whitesburg, Hazard, Jenny Wiley, and know someone in Mousey. Where are you located? PM if prefer. Also, I had the stuff. I dated a girl before my wife whose dad made the stuff and aged it in the basement. I don't know if it really worked or not.

I love it when I can't remember the day. I rarely plan ADRs on park days unless it is breakfast.

Happy Birthday, Norm! Oh.. and page one is updated now!

Thanks Don.

Warning. Don't run over your outside cable cord with the lawnmower. So, no TV or computer this weekend means a lot of smartphone time. Time Warner did not do a very good job at burying it 5 years ago and we asked to re-bury, but they never would. I have been really good at avoiding it to now. Oh well. At least there's more time to teach that wife of mine a lesson for posting on this thread.

LOL, my neighbor baggeed mine several years ago. It scared the beverly out of him since he didn't realize what had just happened.

Seriously, tough to be without the cable on a football saturday!

We stayed there 2 years ago. It is beautiful. Trying BLT this trip. I know rooms will be smaller, but am curious to how I will like proximity to MK.

I have soccer this weekend and may just stay on to ref some games to get me thru the day. Time Warner said they'll call if cancellation & move up appointment. Yeah, right!
