Disney Wordless Wednesday – June Calendar Shot

The Disney Wordless Wednesday theme this week is a calendar shot for the month of June.  There are two big events on our calendar in June – the last day of school and Father's Day.  It's a bit hard to tie the last day of school to Disney so I decided to go with Father's Day.  Now to find a Disney Dad!

There's Geppetto – one of the kindest, most patient dads that any boy (or puppet) could hope for.  (That's him at the top of that float – it seems we haven't stopped to chat with kind, old Geppetto since the dawn of digital photography.)

And then there's Goofy who has a lovable son named Max.  We have never seen the two of them together but we did see both of them on board the Disney Magic.

This is supposed to be our June calendar photo though so we can only pick one Disney Dad and I'm sure that Katie and Emma will agree that the best Disney Dad is theirs!

Wishing a Happy (Early) Father's Day to all Disney Dads!!

    Aw, that’s a great Father’s Day/June calendar photo. Your girls are too cute!
    I too forgot that Goofy was a Disney dad and haven’t seen Gepetto up close and in person since the start of the digital age.
    Thanks so much for sharing and for linking up today. Happy early Father’s Day to your husband!

    Thanks, Deb! Goofy is one of my favourite characters and I didn’t even realize he was a dad until the Goofy movies came out a few years ago. Some quick internet research tells me that a son for Goofy was actually introduced back in the ’50s although the name Max is from the newer movies.

    I love Geppetto and I can’t for the life of me figure out why we don’t have more photos of him! I’m sure we even saw him when we were in Orlando over the Christmas holidays but Emma doesn’t have his signature in her autograph book so I’m guessing we saw him but didn’t line up to actually meet him!

    We’ve run into Max a few times (He used to hang out in ToonTown a lot), but I’ve never seen Geppetto anywhere except on a parade float. Good call on the Disney Dads.
    You can tell that your husband is a REAL Dad though, by the way he’s half dropping the baby. That’s a Dad signature move if I’ve ever seen one.

    At least he’s only half-dropping her! Funny story – The first time we met Goofy was at a character breakfast at The Polynesian when Katie was 4 months old. Goofy arrived at our table and promptly took Katie from me while the cast member with him kept saying “No, No, No Goofy you can’t hold the baby! Give the baby back to her mommy!” She was obviously terrified that he was going to drop the baby but he was completely oblivious and sat for several minutes with Katie on his lap chewing on his bead necklace. And he didn’t even come close to dropping her!

    Father’s Day is June 17th this year. When is it in Australia?

    We have a long summer holiday, about 2 weeks at Christmas and 2 weeks in March. Katie writes her last exam the same day that Emma’s school is finished this year – on June 15th. Emma goes back September 5th and Katie on September 10th. I love having the long holiday but sometimes I think that having several 2 week holiday periods scattered throughout the year might be better.
