You might know that a few weeks ago Disney opened registration for the Disney Social Media Moms Conference (#DisneySMMoms on Twitter). Some lucky few moms were able to secure spots at a conference at Disney World whose purpose is to…actually, I’m not sure what the purpose is. Probably to go on rides, since that’s what I’d do if I were at Disney World.
Inexplicably overlooked in all of Disney’s planning were the Social Media Dads. This is not unexpected, since dads as an online force for goodness and light remain more of a tribe than an army. However: DISNEY WORLD.
I don’t know anything about the Disney Social Media Moms Conference. I assume that it’s not like winning a free vacation: the moms are probably paying to go to Disney World.
Well hell. I can also Not Win a vacation to a Disney park. I can Not Win the hell out of a vacation at a Disney park.
So, for most of this week I’ll be at the Disney Social Media Dads Conference at Disneyland. I’ll be doing all the things the moms will do at Disney World, I’m sure: I’ll be going on rides and meeting Mickey and annoying people on Twitter with my hashtag (#DisneySMDads).
I like to tell a joke until it goes right through funny and out the other side.
See you in a session, dads.
Typical, dads get the shaft again. Try not to over do it on the obligatory cold cut deli buffet for lunch. Go with the whole grain bread, they say its better for you.
I'm eating something called a "churro".

Thanks for representin'…we dads need all the help we can get. (All I get from Disney are tons of requests to promote their films for free. I suppose I should be thankful, but…)

Wow. Never heard of such thing! Thanks for sharing. This is really really interesting. Any parents over the world can be involved in this conference?
Too late! It's all over. Man, it was a great conference…

Yup! You can run a joke into the ground with the best of 'em!
Wait! That *is* what you said… Right?

I've often wondered, loudly, what was up with Disney being so parentist. I think it's tied to all the dads dying in their films.
