DDC XXII - End of Summer Bash - Page 3 - The DIS Discussion Forums

DisneyDaddy-O · 08-26-2012, 04:04 PM

Just hanging out in our room for a few minutes before we head back out to DHS for Fantasmic tonight and 6:30 TSM fast passes.

We are considering a water park day next week and wondering which park you guys would pick? Should we do one park or maybe upgrade one day ticket to season pass which is cheaper than 2 single day tickets, Then we are set for the entire year?

Forgot to mention that on the way down, I passed dozens of utility trucks heading south to help in restoring power. 8,500 customers without power in Dade and 4,500 in Broward. Called the neighbors but they didn't answer so don't know if we have power or not. FPL (our utility company) has a site that shows power outages in the state. All of South Florida (from east to west coast) is red meaning lots of outages.

Good luck with the power CJ!

Going to head out with the kids of an early Sunday Dinner. Found a local restaurant I like, and haven't been to in a while, that has Kids Eat Free on Sundays.

I endorse this event or product.

If you do a water park, go with Typhoon Lagoon. Lazy River is great, you can swim with sharks etc...

Hope all is well at home, CJ! Hate those sustained winds.

DisDadDoc · 08-26-2012, 07:54 PM

Hey, guys! Just back from Wood Badge. A great experience! Learned lots about teamwork, leadership, and communication. And had super fun! Thanks again to those Scouting Dis Dads (especially Stopher) who encouraged me to do it. If you have the opportunity, I would definitely recommend it!

Nice new digs, Don!! I'll try to catch up, but I doubt I will if our race to the end is as per usual...

How come you all aren't racing on the other thread?

Couple weeks off and school soccer and regional skills camps will be starting up. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday Gents.

Coordinated 22 teams total in U10 & U12. Conducted player clinic on hurt ankle last week. Coaches meeting this week. Have to coach my own team in there as well. I'm tired already.

We did typhoon lagoon with the wave pool and my favorite, the lazy river. I think the better slides are at blizzard beach.

Great. I ran over my text plan with just your texts.

BigTikiDaddy · 08-26-2012, 09:49 PM

Decent staycation Day 1....sleep, swimming, a little side trip to get a few groceries and pizza & wings while watching POTC:World's End. DW and I did a little trip planning in for next year to boot bouncing ideas off one another, I jotted them down.

Tomorrow looks to be fairly low-key, calling for rain and t-storms all day. Still beats work!

I like Typhoon better than Blizzard. The wave pool and the reef swim are great. So is Crush and Gusher. The kids area is better at Blizzard. Especially the tween area.

Oh the Humanity. That was hard to watch. Impressive, but hard to watch. Congrats on the record but not sure it will last after January. Proof that members of this group are a bit nuts.

Talked to my next door neighbor earlier. Big rain and wind event but that was about it. They were without power for around 5 hours and some limbs down but nothing serious. The Keys didn't have much damage. Feel bad for the people in the Panhandle to New Orleans area. Looks like it is going to strengthen before landfall.

So South Florida is safe until I leave to visit the kid in early October.
