DDC XXXII: A Dole Whip in Paradise

[10dedfish]

Hey Don!

 

[afwdwfan]

This sounds like the voice of experience.

Not really. I've never had that done *knock on wood* but I can only imagine...

I wonder if WDW is going to do something special on Fri June 13th, it's the only Fri 13th this year, since I'll be there they probably will not

Good morning gents, been several days so..... positive thoughts to those in need (CJ & his tooth), welcome if I missed any new guys, congrats to all the kids, what the heck happened to the Habs, c'mon Pacers (sorry CJ), & GO HAWKS!

Booked Fastpass+ yesterday at our 60 day mark but new one for us as I booked a wheelchair rental for the week for DD. Used a company called ScooterBug and they drop it off at your hotel and then come pick it up and its only $65 for a week which is less expensive than renting at parks. Plus we will have it with us whenever she needs it. Also new having to figure out how each attraction differs for wheelchair access. Shows are easy but some rides you go through the regular ques and others have designated entrances so something different for us this time around.

Here's ADR list:
Sunday 7/20 Mama Melrose's Dinner Fantasmic Package
Monday 7/21 Cape May Cafe Brkfst
Tuesday 7/22 Tusker House Bkfst & Rose & Crown Dinner
Thursday 7/24 Yachtsman Steakhouse
Friday 7/25 Liberty Tree Tavern

OK, if someone could please stop today so I can get off I would appreciate it.

thanks

Habs - Price is out and Lundquist has become a big piece of plywood

Go Heat (I'm with CJ on this one)

ADR's - nice list. We've only done the first and last plus the Rose & Crown. That one is pretty much every time.

Well there's some positive thinking for you...

And the sunshine train just keeps rolling...

We're all so happy today...

I'm thinking not. And I'd have to go along with your line of reasoning...

So it looks like Falcon's Fury was supposed to be open in BG Tampa by the time we arrive next week. But if the drop tower they built in Williamsburg is any indication, it will be at least mid-summer before it is ready. Here's to hoping we'll be one of the first to experience the ride!

EDIT: Should have found this article first... which has dashed my hopes:

Falcon’s Fury Construction Update #22 - May 19th
"Crews at Busch Gardens Tampa have been busy over the last several weeks with continued testing and adjusting on Falcon’s Fury, the new drop tower that was originally scheduled to open on May 1, 2014. The park was forced to delay the opening because of construction delays and other issues. No new opening date has been announced yet."

Hmmmm... wonder how the BG app will compare to Disney's?

Bacon Pretzel Fury!!

I'm going to go on a limb and guess that you can't use it to schedule a FP+ or ADR, but otherwise, likely better in every way.

Hi all.. Figured it was time that I do this and stop lurking. I'm Justin. Born and raised in Central, Fl but been living in Queens, NY for the past 10+ years. Married with a little girl. Been a huge Disney fan from the beginning and now I get to show it off to the little one. Wife not as big of a fan, but since my daughter is, we easily win with where we get to vacation!!

Lets see, what else?? Well I am a Staff development trainer and strength coach...I love BBQ and just about any kind of sandwich and beer, Bourbon, and Diet Pepsi. Besides Disney, I'm an Apple, sports and movie nut and even though Ive lived here for 10 years and married to a born and bred NY-er I'm still completely out of place in the North East. Think that's about it for now.

Oh, not exactly sure when Ill be in WDW next... More than likely November (birthday is 11/8 and little one's is 11/11) but I may be there in Jun as well!

OWWWWWW! Two teeth out instead of one, filing and temp caps on a couple of others, Was in the chair for three hours. I just want to just curl up in a ball and die. The worse thing is I need to go back next month.

Welcome to the Club! Norm will be around later to collect the dues.

Big news today, decided to get rid of my old Dakota and moved on to a 2013 Dodge Dart. The gas savings alone should make up for the monthly car payment we now have.

You must have been spending a lot on gas. I don't think car payments are worth it.

Anone post about positive thinking?

Well there's some positive thinking for you...
:

At least you'll be at WDW.

Here's ADR list:
Sunday 7/20 Mama Melrose's Dinner Fantasmic Package
Monday 7/21 Cape May Cafe Brkfst
Tuesday 7/22 Tusker House Bkfst & Rose & Crown Dinner
Thursday 7/24 Yachtsman Steakhouse
Friday 7/25 Liberty Tree Tavern

We're trying the Mama Melrose Fantasmic Package this trip as well and have been to the remainder of the others. I want to try LTT for lunch, but I didn't care much for it for dinner.

Bacon Pretzel Fury!!

OWWWWWW! Two teeth out instead of one, filing and temp caps on a couple of others, Was in the chair for three hours. I just want to just curl up in a ball and die. The worse thing is I need to go back next month.

Hope you have some good pain meds.

Welcome. Dues are payable in dole whips, bacon, beer, or cake. You mail enough for the close to 800 dads to me, and then I distribute them to all. Trust me.

I'm a bourbon fan. KY does have the best bourbon. The Basil Hayden blend is what is currently in my cabinet.

Stupid Heat. Stupid LeBron...

We all know if the Pacers would just sign you, then LeBron would be contained.

This Oct? We're thinking of starting our trip next Oct with a 3 night cruise, then doing a few days at the parks

There are several of us this October. Some for the TOT race thing. Me with the family. We do crazy things like DisDad meets n drinks.

Yes, Heat please go... away.

You're just bitter about the Celtics not making the playoffs or making the NBA this year.

I nominate the Stupid Heat comment for the front page, lol

Denied. I'm not a Heat Fan, but I enjoy watching LeBron play.
