DDC XXXIV: The Original Home Of The DISDads!!!

[Captain_Oblivious]

And here I just thought it was Groundhog Day.

 

[Maroonag1]

Now that I’m retired it’s always 5 o’clock Friday here

Nice. Im only 60 or so years from being able to do that.

Hey, Fellas! Well, it's over. The colonoscopy is done and I'm back to eating. (Whew!) I was getting rather annoyed at not eating. Otherwise things went well. My DW made a bunch of Jello for me to eat, orange Jello, not my favorite, but that's all I could eat, and I can say that I'm done with orange Jello. Unfortunately we have a lot of orange Jello left. Was just informed by the the kid that she likes orange Jello. "Have at it, kid. Have at it. " I guess the procedure went well because I was told to come back in 7 years. "Yeah, I'll put that in my calendar right now."

Try calling them directly since all the restaurants in Disney Springs are not owned by Disney they only get a certain amount of reservations. You can also do this in some of the parks if they are not owned by Disney

I will, thanks for the idea.

This... A better time for Rainforest shouldn't be that hard to get. I've also read that if you really want to make sure you get in you can get a Landry's card and they hold so many tables specifically for those guests... i don't remember if that is for reservations or walk ups though.

Landry's Card? I'll look into it. Thanks.

The Twilight Zone is more fun...

Every day's a holiday when you work where the motto is "We're not happy until you're not happy!"

I've worked for a place like that.

Grab it. If another comes up (or you call and get better or get a Landry card) you can always cancel it.

Grabbed it already.

And did she know about second Monday?
Cause its first Thursday for me.

Actually... she said something like "I can find directions for you and make calls or send messages but can't do anything else." Including, I presume, tell me what flippin' day it is.

And for the record, this is first Friday. Tomorrow is second Friday and for the first time in long time, I get two days off... and they actually coincide with Saturday and Sunday!

At least until work calls me to come in. (I give that a 50% chance.)

Hey all,

I'm new to Disdads and would love to join the group. I'm a dad to three boys, Davis (8), Maxwell (5) and Robin (3). We just bought DVC in December and have our first trip booked for August. I work in financial planning, which is fitting for how much planning, including financially, Disney requires these days. Let me know if anything more is needed to join. I'm happy to answer any questions. Thanks!

 

[CapeCodTenor]

Morning, Fellas, and, if I read @pkondz correctly, Happy Friday! Not much to report on my end. Had a great day yesterday at work and looking forward to today. Have a great day, all.

I thought I felt a disturbance in the force.

Well let's hope that doesn't happen.

Well to the club house. Someone will be by later with your official DisDad number. Until then, grab a seat and enjoy.

Welcome!

Which DVC resort did you buy into?

You can also find our little club on Facebook if you are over there. Probably a bit more active there than here.

Glad everything came out ok.

Oh man, change your phone number right now!

There’s very little you need to do to join. Simply send one rasher of bacon to each DISdad that responds. Don’t worry, won’t be too many.
And a bottle of their choosing. I’ll take a nice Riesling.

Morning, Fellas, and, if I read @pkondz correctly, Happy Friday!

I know. It’s weird. I’m freaking out.

I thought I felt a disturbance in the force.

Welcome to the mad house. Dont mind the smell its been like that for a while. Grab a beer and relax.

You can also find our little club on Facebook if you are over there. Probably a bit more active there than here.

Yeah, but then you would have to be on Facebook, not sure its worth it.

Im a Tequila guy

 

[Disney Commando]

We bought in at the Polynesian. Love the theming from the videos. Our August trip will be seven nights in a lakeview studio and then two nights at Animal Kingdom-Kidani in a 1BR savanna view.

I'm not on FB, but I'm happy just being here.

Nice trip.

Anybody seen the Godfather to have him come give this guy his number?

The boys and wife are beyond excited, as they are feeding off my excitement. I've never seen my boys so eager to save their money. We'll be shifting to a May/June schedule for 2024 and beyond,. Probably a bit shorter and fewer park days (August 2023 has 7 park days and just one resort day). Hopefully it will go to a 2-1 ratio of park days to resort days in the future.

 

[Jack Kerouac]

Any Disdads with trips planned for August? I'll be in WDW with my wife and three boys from August 3-12. Staying at the Poly and AKV-Kidani. I can provide more specifics around park days, if needed. We'll be enjoying the parks at a speed of PeopleMover meets Jungle Cruise. Dad jokes are always welcome and encouraged.

We are doing a Cruise this year instead of a park trip.

The Chief is sailing across the Atlantic at this time. He spent the day in the Azores.

Have you done Disney Cruise before? I am considering one for my 40th. I've been on non-Disney cruises before, but my wife and boys have never done one before.

No worries. I can wait. I already feel like a member of the group.
