Help! First time to FW in Feb 2015
dogridges replied to dogridges's topic in WDW and Disney Park Discussions
I can't get the kids (Ha in their 30's Parents) to commit to anything. Just need to give them a little time. I think we could do the big RV but they don't know. I just need to sit them down and talk it out. I am sure this problem has never happened with parents that have 3 young kids. I can't imagine how they do it. I am exhasted just watching them when we visit. I have been to WDW 3 times since they opened and with texting we could keep up pretty well I think. -

Hi, I just got a package code for Disney for Art of Animation. I doubt it works for much of a savings for a suite but I will check it out this afternoon or have Jason check it for me. I was thinking the kids could stay there and we get a smaller rv for FW. Just thinking?!? -

You guys think I am nuts but I have been on 10 to 15 advice sites because I love to read about places that I am going to before going. I think I enjoy the reading almost, and I mean almost as much as the actual trip. I like hearing what people like and don't like about a place and then making up my own mind when I go there. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. -

So glad, this is really fun. Do you guys go to FW every year and know each other. I think I would love to get out of the mountains and come south once a year. -

SO SORRY!! I thought you guys had stopped posting and I didn't see the next page until today. Are you still there? I have been searching for all sorts of info and I loved what you said. I am going Feb 1 through 7 if kids agree. I may go without them if they don't just to stay there with you guys. Susan. -

What do you guys catch in streams and lake. Small mouth and large mouth bass? I will bring rods and lures for kids. Do you use live bait? -

I will leave it up to the kids and their budget on the eating. I can backpack semi frozen plastic drinks and finger sandwiches if the parents want that. THis is a wonderful site. I love traveling. I haven't been to WDW in 12 years. I brought my mother after my father passed away to Epcot and Winter Park to the Tiffany Glass Museum. -

Do all you guys eat at Fort Wilderness and stay away except for the occasional meal at Parks or Character meal for kids. I saw there were lockers at the entrance. Can you put PB&Js and semi frozen drinks in the locker in a soft cooler bag and not run into trouble? -

Our 8 year old will be fine with rides. I plan on taking the 4 year old back at lunch time for lunch and naps and have read a lot of $1 books from our thrift shop with height requirements and such. We want to go early to take in the 4 year old plan first starting with his activities the 8 year old will enjoy and work our way forward to let me take him back to the Fort. Then our daughter and son-in-law can take the 8 year old to her activiites depending on everyones stamina. I think we are looking at 4 park days and 3 at Fort Wilderness. Can you add days to your purchase of park tickets on -

dogridges replied to dogridges's topic in WDW and Disney Park Discussions
You guys are great. I just love reading all I can about places before I go. Learning from you will be invaluable so I can go with the flow. I know I will be boating back to the Fort with the wee ones for naps while the others keep exploring. As far as having a rigid schedule I won't. Just want to know before hand what rides - attractions are best for a 8 and 4 year old, where to go for character meals etc. By the way I saw the CInderella's Castle is being renovated until mid March. I would love to look at other RV renters. Greenberg advertises $899 for week with set-up, breakdown. Ha -

Thank you so much. Hope in years to come that we can help someone like you have. We are staying in a Premium site loop for WIFI and space. Spent days reading online on all topics and checked lots of sites for prices. Thanks for these hints. We look forward to our first camping adventure. Went to Franconia Notch before the Old Man in the Mountain fell. Loved our vacation there. Love your dogs. Ours passed away and we haven't been able to adopt a new friend yet. Thanks Kelly I will track Jason down. -
Hi you experts. I am coming to FW in Feb 2015 and want to rent an RV from Greenberg RV rentals. I am staying with my husband and I (in our 60s) with our kids and grandkids age 8 to 1. Oh Boy!!! We are probably going to get an out of WDW room when we need a break. We are renting the RV Freedom Express – 2014 Coachmen Liberty Edition 320 BHDS is what we are looking at renting. I need advice on getting the best deal for site, rental, tickets, meals, groceries, and site location. I need your input. We are so excited to go with the kids who are very well behaved and would be a good additio
