Let me start by saying Thank You to my Dad. I miss him just about every day, and I had NO idea how much he did, hid, put up with and shouldered… without ever saying a word.
Last year I wrote a post about our last trip to Disney World… specifically about the “rolling dad Seminar” that I was able to engage in.
“Rolling Dad Seminar, you say?”
You have to check out the post to see the details, but the short version is that there seemed to be a lot of clearly defined “Dad Duties” in the parks. And I watched Dad after Dad performing these tasks… sometimes I was right along-side, performing the same tasks for my family. And while we were engaged in the “wait” portion of “hurry up and wait”, I talked with a few other Dads… and it was a LOT of fun.
We talked about vacations, family, cars (of course), work, rides… ALL kinds of stuff. One of the funniest things that happened was a “walking-by high-five” with a Dad I met in a ride line. He’d managed to score some prime Fast Passes for a show with a VERY long wait. My wife raised an eyebrow as I walked by the stranger and just high-fived him.
There are a few other little tidbits you might catch in the original post…
