DIS Dads The DIS Dad's Club

[The Disney Fanatic]

It actually depends on your preference. What are you into? We have so many cultures here in town that you can find almost any authentic cuisine.

Nobody makes BBQ or Brisket like Texans. I want something that is uniquely local that I can not get here in NC and is located on the River Walk.

We were "stimulated" yesterday. New tires here I come, and then we're going to hold on to part of it - and think about stimulating WDW in October - and part of it to pay down my DS9's new braces.

I think my wife wants to to go to WDW in July! I didn't think we would get back until '09. The stimulus package is making it real possible! We are working on our new home and have a lot of other projects going but I think she see's that we need a Disney break from everything!

Well I am so freakin stoked to find this club. My wife told me about it and i finally found the time to have a look. I hope its not too late to join i meet a whole crap load of the criteria. We are getting ready for our first ever trip to WDW. By the way this is my first ever trip to a theme park of any sort. So needless to say Im about to burst with excitement. Well have a good one and i am sure i will have some questions for all you pros out there!

Be prepared to be blown away! There is no place in the WORLD like WDW. The whole Orlando area is like a big playground for the world and it all started with Mickey. Your family will have a great time. Man, I'm getting excited for ya! Ain't nothing like that first trip. So much to do and so much to see. You could be there two whole months and never do everything there is to do.

Below is a link for you to order the free Disney vacation planning DVD. My son and I grab some popcorn and watch it like a movie. It is very entertaining and will have you bursting with excitement in anticipation of your trip!

Chill I always use Dollar the have the best OffAirport prices that I can ever find for my trips.Location Code on Dollars sight is MCOS01 and use discount code Kiss2 for best prices.

The are very nice ( used them the past 4 times) and easy to get to. We love ME and use it but also need a car so this works great. The best thing is we can get a smaller cars (because of no Luggage) and skim a day off the rental by picking up at 4pm and dropping it off before we leave.

To get to it from the Poly they will do pick-up and dropoff if given 24hr notice but we just Bus to the DTD Marketplace bus stop and walk arcoss the street to the Location ( use to Grovsner now is Royal or Regal Sun).

Hey fellow Dis Dads - do any of you have Owner's Lockers down at WDW? Can you recommend their service, or is it not really necessary?

Thanks!

Hey now, the Flyers now have a much better chance. They ususally do not do well when they are leading a series. Its more fun to root for the underdogs! Especially when you live 8 miles from the Wachovia Center.

Go Flyers!
