I came across the Disney Dad's Club from DisneyDaddy-O's signature link on a post in another forum. I browsed around a little, and decided that I had to submit my application for membership.
A little about me, my family, and our Disney experience:
My wife and I were planing our second trip to Disney World with her parents for December of 2004. The flight was booked, the hotels reserved (split stay - Caribbean Beach / Pop Century) and everything was set. Then in mid-October we had just completed our foster care certification in Racine County, Wisconsin. The ink was not even dry on our certificate, when we go the call that a newborn needed a foster home. We brought her home from the hospital a few days later and immediately called the airline ("Sure, she can sit on your lap for free") and the hotel ("not a problem, we'll make sure there is crib in your room"). Just like that, at seven weeks old, my DD had her first trip to Disney World.
Fast Forward to January of 2006. DD has been officially adopted for quit a while now, and we're planning our second trip to WDW for my her 2nd birthday. We found good airfare for that October, so we booked it. Less than a month later, my wife starts feeling ill. A pregnancy test confirms it, and little math tells us that my DS could potentially be born right in the middle of Main Street, USA. So we call the airline back, and thanks to a medical clearance from the doctor, get full credit to use on a later flight. (Oddly enough, DS was born the day after DD turned 2. She still thinks he is the best birthday present she ever got!)
Jump ahead to October, 2007. We get to celebrate DD turning 3 and DS turning 1 in WDW. December 2008 sees Christmas with Mickey & Pals, and March 2009 on a "wow, that's cheap airfare, let's take a quick jaunt down" trip.
We're planning our first drive to WDW this October. Both kids and two dogs loaded up in the minivan. (The dogs will stay with her parents in Lakeland while we're at the parks. They moved down a few years ago)
So I humbly submit my qualifications for membership and l look forward to raising my kids the Disney way!
