![]() This thread is for all of the DIS Dad's out there! I just need to know that I am not the only Dad out there that is Fanatical about Disney World! What is the criteria for joining this club ? I am glad you asked. If you are a Dad and ANY of the following criteria descibes you, you qualify to become a member of the DIS Dad's Club. Just sign in on this thread. The DIS Dad's Club Criteria 1. Your passion for Disney equals that of a 7 year old kid. 2. You have a wife that thinks you are a big kid. 3. You watch the Free WDW DVDs every week . 4. You get more excited than your kids when a trip to WDW is planned (or the excitement at least equals that of your kids) . 5. When you say your prayers you ask for God to inspire the Imagineers to come up with fresh new ideas . 6. When planning family reunions, class reunions, and job conventions you always plan them at Disney World. 7. You nick-named your son and daughter Mickey and Minnie . 8. You planned your next Disney trip the day after returning from Disney World . 9. You debate with your kids about who would win a light saber battle between Mickey Mouse and Darth Vader . 10. Your eyes start to water with tears of joy when you see your kids having a great time at WDW ( and you secretly try to dry your eyes). 11. Your portfolio includes stock in Disney. 12. You have friends and family that do not understand why you vacation in WDW every year (or at least talk about doing it). 13. You have Disney songs on your Mp3 player. 14. You have Disney Ringtones for your Cell. 15. You have everything Disney for Wallpapers and screensavers. 16. You have Disney Fonts and Icons as well. 17.

You sold your Disney stock so you could buy into the DVC. 36. You wear a matching Disney shirt with your kids to the parks. 37.

You don't want to fix the musty smell in your damp basement because it reminds you of the Pirates of the Caribbean cave. 45. You swore that when you had kids that they'd get to experience the world. Little did you know that once you experienced "THE WORLD" you would be hooked! 46. Your kids get a kick out of a grown man (YOU) becoming a kid as soon as the Disney subject comes up. 47. When you walk into the Disney Store the employees shout your name like Norm in Cheers! 48. You did your best to "brainwash" your kids early so they wouldn't have any problem ever wanting to go on a Disney Vacation. 49. You only feel fulfilled when you know you have another trip on the horizon. 50. You can't decide if you want to go on a Disney Cruise, to Walt Disney World, or to Disneyland for your next vacation (if you can afford it the Disney Resorts over seas are in the equation as well). 51. Your office is like a shrine to Disney and it gets bigger and bigger every year. 52. You use your kids as an excuse for all the people who ask why you're going back to WDW again. "It's for the kids!" Although the people who know you best know not to believe that. 53. You have a special savings account that you started when your daughter was born so that she will have a Disney Wedding. 54. Simply put...there is no place you would rather go on vacation than at WDW, Disneyland, on a Disney Cruise, or at any of the Disney resorts over seas. 55. Your motorhome has Disney stuff on and in it. 56. You can recite the entire script from the Haunted Mansion. 57. Your mom gave you your first Mickey on the day you were born, and then you gave your son his first Mickey the day he was born. 58. You're just waiting for Fantasia to get released so you can complete your collection of Disney Animated videos (The real classics, not the sequels). 59. Your personal slogan is..."Life is short, spend your time with DISNEY." 60. You teach and not a class passes by where you don't use a Disney Story as an example. 61. You've been to Walt Disney World too many times to count. It almost feels like you grew up there. 62. You know you are a DIS Dad's Club member when your mother in law says you have a "Disney problem." 63. You're "The REAL Chrsitopher Robin!" It is on your birth certificate. 64. While watching a show that you recorded on the TiVO, you forwarded through the commercials but stopped and watched the WDW commercials. Even the ones that you have seen hundreds of times. 65. Every weekend you have "Disney Movie Night" with your family. 66. You own a Mickey waffle iron. 67. You own the "Classic Disney" CD collection and listen to it every night at dinner with your family. 68. Every Sunday night you and your family play the game "Disney Scene It". 69. Your kids insist on going to Disney every vacation. When you ask if they're getting tired of it yet, they look at you like you've grown a second head. 70. You have Mickey, Donald, and Goofy sleepwear. 71. Your wife wakes you up in the middle of the night because you've been talking about Disney in your sleep again. 72. Every month you rotate the metal licence plates on your cars (Disney Cruise line, Animal Kingdom, MGM , Epcot, Magic Kingdom, and Donald official fan club). 73. You promise to fund a big DIS Dad's Club Meet and Greet at WDW when you hit the Power Ball. 74. You love Disney SO much you have tatoos of Disney Characters. 75. When it comes to Disney World you just can't get enough!!! No matter how many times you go! 76. You know all the words to Wishes, Magic, Music and Mayhem, Happy HalloWishes, and Holiday Wishes. 77. You listen to the Happy HalloWishes and Holiday Wishes music no matter what time of the year it is. 78. It is easier to list all of the criteria here that do not apply to you than it is to list the ones that do. 79. You have Disney character golf club covers. 80. You have helped plan many Disney vactions for fellow employees in your department. Now you are getting phone calls from other departments asking, "Hey are you the guy I need to talk to about planning my Disney Vacation?" 81. You keep your Mickey Mouse umbrella in the car/truck and proudly use it while walking in to your office during a rainstorm. 82. Your passion for Disney is strong but you would rather get soaked before using your wife's/daughter's Tinker Bell umbrella. 83. Your Christmas tree has all Disney ornamnets on it. 84. You have a DVC decal on your minivan. 85. Most of your passwords consist of some sort of Disney theme. 86. You own a Mickey Mouse toaster. 87. You have your own personal tour guide to WDW because you married an ex-CM!!! 88. YOU were a CM yourself! 89. The cake topper on your wedding cake was Mickey & Minnie. 90. The music playing as you were announced at the reception hall as husband and wife was BAROQUE HOEDOWN...better known as the theme from THE MAIN STREET ELECTRICAL PARADE. 91. After changing out of your tuxedo at the end of your wedding's reception, you wore a Disney tie as you headed off to begin your honeymoon - which was ultimately at WDW (it was Goofy, BTW) 92. You have a Mickey waffle iron and kitchen towels that you and your wife received as wedding gifts. 93. You have a Mickey telephone (one of those old stand up kind from the 80's, like the large one reproduced at POP). 94.

You listen to the soundtrack for Wishes and Spectromagic on your mp3 player at work. 118.

Welcome to the new Dads. This is our house (though it gets invaded every now and then by a low level insurgency). Pull up a chair and prop your feet up on the table (you know you can't get away with that at home)...Beer's in the Fridge, Coke and Pepsi Products too...Water? Dude, there's a tap. Dis Dad's Club home of the DISboards minority male popoulation... Don't believe me?? Tell me how a "men only" college or pro football thread gets overrun by the female populace??? There will be no discussion about bra sizes for girls or leg shaving. This is our HOUSE. WE MUST PROTECT THIS HOUSE!!! This is man world. We discuss man topics. MAN LAW!!! All we need now is Triple H to guard the door. At least try to keep it somewhat clean....rinse out your mug, and let everyone know when you're done with the latest BassMaster or Guns and Ammo so it can be put in the community pile... Now if you'll forgive me, I'm off to Bass Pro.com for some new stuff...the boat is hitched and ready for me in South Georgia, and Lake Toho is oh so close to Disney New guys, welcome to all things "Male" Disney.....and all things "Dad" related. Please keep all hands, arms and legs inside the vehicles....secure your seatbelt, place your seat in an upright position and stow your tray table... It's a heckuva' ride.... Come join us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/gr...2305480&v=wall

The previous thread was closed due to reaching the post limit for the thread. This happens occasionally in the forum and is not new... but to us it is. We should be proud to have surpassed this milestone
