The week is finally over. Managed 50 hours of work at my 20 hour a week job while on vacation at the other job. And, DW's uncle by marriage died Wed and the funeral was today. He was close with my DW growing up after her parents divorced. He was also a retired police officer, and the police brought out a police radio on speaker and dispatch called his car number and final 10-7 along with the shots and folding the flag.
Yes...we're DVC members also. We're relative newbies...bought in 2008 and home resort is SSR. I know a lot of folks don't like SSR, but we like it because of its more relaxed and quiet atmosphere. I also like that a ride to downtown Disney (still have trouble calling it springs because that just doesn't fit with what it is) is a quick boat ride. I think I mentioned this in one of my posts to different thread, but we found out if we try to do a different park every day, all of us (parents/kids) are testy after the 2nd/3rd day. What we do is park one day, stay at resort and relax and swim next day. We also did the treehouse villas a couple years ago and loved 'em. We also love WL because of the lobby and pool and access to water (the little boats are cool).

After Poly this July, we will have stayed at all WDW DVC resorts except Grand Floridean. We've stayed at HHI & VBR. I liked SSR. The problem I had with was that it is more expensive than my Boardwalk view, and I can't walk to a park. the new DHS may make up for that now. We also travel like you - park one day and resort the next. The resorts are so amazing and I want to spend time enjoying them.
Little known fact their Normie! The brew-masters at the Munich style lagers we love so much didn't have access to Grapefruit until the early 20th century, but if they did they would have put it in their beer. (Hmm... that part may actually be true..) So they used the next best thing they had for their summer recipes.... beets, and that is the origin of bitter beer face.
Thanks Cliff with that little known beer fact.
That's got to be February in the Calendar. Or the face when looking at budgie smugglers

I'd be more concerned you would need at AED to restart your heart if you saw me in budgie smugglers".
Top O the Mornin Dads! May you all have a wonderful Father's Day weekend! Enjoy the family this weekend and make sure they wait on you all weekend.
One has a swim meet and the other a tennis tournament. Maybe I'll see them, maybe not.
Hi there. New DISDad here. from Hilton Head, SC. headed to Orlando today for our first trip this year, though its our 6th in 15 months. DD is 2 and has been every time, recognizes the parks and rides and already has a few choice favorites that she knows by sight or sound(Dumbo, Its a Small World, etc.). I'm teaching my princess to Dream Big, to fly like Peter and Tink, and to bounce like Tigger. Figure I'm giving her a decent start to this crazy passion of ours.
Welcome. Dues are payable in dole whips, bacon, beer, or cake. You mail 820 of them to me and then I send to all the guys.
We took my youngest when she was 15 months, and haven't missed a year since. She's a teenager now.
Hey guys,
Been away for a while dealing with a crappy weekend and week. Nothing serious, just one thing led right into another. Looking forward to this weekend. DD has an overnighter with a friend from school so I plan to just enjoy the night and tomorrow morning just chilling. Not sure if she will be going tagging on Sunday so no big plans for Fathers' Day. May drive down to the Cracker Barrel in Florida City for breakfast with or without the kid.

Cracker Barrell sounds fun. By the way, our city passed an ordinance that we can now serve beer and liquor on Sunday. So, if you find your way up to the bourbon bar, we can have some fun.
We're going to be headed back to the most magical place on earth in Sep...already mentioned that.
I'm soliciting ideas/opinions/etc. about F&W. We won't be on the dining plan unless that changes, so I'm trying to get an idea of other folks opinions and experiences (good or bad) regarding F&W.
We did the full F&W once. I like trying different things, but now, we just do drinks at most of the countries and have our favorite places for snacks. Plus, Via Napoli is a must do each trip to Epcot.
