Duane

Over the years traveling to the Fort, once I get parked, and usually before I put out all of the slides I have washed my entire rig right there at my site... Bugs can be an issue, so I have always supplemented my truck brush with a hand full of dryer sheets... the bugs just melt right off...

Silly Andrew, those are not windows, those are anti-humidity devices... Clearly they don't need them in California like they do in Florida....

Andrew, you referred to the ferris wheel as just the "Fun Wheel", is called just that now, or do they call it "Mickey's Fun Wheel?" The reason I ask, was that when we were there, there was this annoying voice with somewhat of a crazy accent barking about riding Mickey's Fun Wheel.... I can still hear that voice in my head today.... But wait, I hear all kinds of voices in my head today... I think I even see dead people... Maybe its time for my medication.... Now California Screaming is another story... that was my favorite ride at DL.... I feel there are a lot of parallels between DW and DL

Can you swing by NC and pick me up? With that larger site, you should have more than enough room for one more....

Ok, I'm back... Glad you guys got to see and experience DL... We were out a few years ago when they were building the World of Color light/water show, so I'm anxious to hear/see what that's all about. Also interested in what you thought of the Grand Californian. We stayed there using our hoidy toidy DVC points... We liked staying there, especially when you walk out one door and you're standing the entrance to MK and walk out another and walk literally into California Adventure... Carry on... Looking forward to reading more!

Dang! You snooze you lose.... I have been creeping in the TR section for days looking for this to begin, and the one day I don't log on BAM! I miss the train.... Guess I get page 5, 9:27 PM EST bragging rights.... Let me hit post so can seal the deal.... be back in a few

What Carol said…. Managed to score $400 in BP cards from rewards from my corporate credit card I use to book travel…. Also, Christmas is coming… if folks ask you want you want this year, tell them gas gift cards….

Rick is the MAN! and has good taste in eating places…. This is my all time Disney favorite as well… In fact a couple of years ago when we spent Thanksgiving at the World (sadly, not the Fort, but Saratoga Springs), this is where we ate Thanksgiving Dinner! Nothing says Happy Thanksgiving like some crab legs and mussels in butter!

Now Andrew, you ought to know if they can't remove several specs of dust from a movie projected on a screen (Soarin'), how are they going to come up with a way to make make these pictures without holes....? Oh, by the way Carol, I'm along for the ride!

I bet for the right price, Kelly would bring the Big Green Egg down and take care of the bird for you!

Who was that masked man?!

I'm with FWG... "no b@lls, no babies!" Driving over that bridge is the highlight of my trip! In fact they need to close down a couple of lanes and add a "jersey wall" or two....

It works pretty good... but like everything else its something that you have to get used to using. Its not very deep, so you have to make smaller pizzas. Just another cooking "gadget" that I had to have...

Another little handy tip... before you leave home, go to the bank and pick up a couple rolls of quarters... That way for some reason if the change machines are not working, or if you are like me and never have any singles on me (now that I mention it, I usually don't have anything else on me either) to feed the machine, you will be all set...

I do like the oven... It does a pretty good job for what it is. As you can imagine, you have to keep an eye on the temperature and make minor adjustments every now and then. The interior size is good and the oven fits in one of the outside storage compartments. We too have a micro/convection oven inside, but never have used the convection part. We also have the gas oven, but its one of the smaller versions (meaning its not as tall as some of the others we had in other campers).

Gwen, you ARE an awesome photographer! Your pics bring a neat perspective to the details at WDW... Can't wait to see more!

This pic is definitely a keeper!

As Ray said, TSA Pre-Check does indeed rock! Before I sprung and paid the money to get it officially, I got sent down that aisle several times... It's funny how we get programmed for certain things, still today, I feel like I am doing something wrong or illegal when I don't take out my laptop or remove my shoes before going through the metal detector. Don't you love how society has turned such that everyone is out for themselves and are afraid someone is trying to get over on them? You should have told her that you were a rock star traveling with your entourage on your way to the G-Forc

What you have (i.e. Class A, TT, 5th wheel): Winnebago 37L Motorhome on a Ford chassis with the V-10 gas engine If you're towing (so TT or 5th wheel) how heavy is it: If you tow, what is your tow vehicle: We do tow, but it is a car behind the motorhome. 2012 Honda CRV Gas mileage: Haven't hand calculated it, but based on the MPG computer on the motorhome, somewhere around 7 to 8 MPG Do you like it, love it or hate it (this applies to both the tow vehicle and what you're towing (or driving if Class A or C): Love it... We have had everything except for a Class C, diesel pusher, or Prevost/N

TIm, your camper sounds like ours... a rolling kitchen. Among my collection of cooking items, we haul, in no particular order: - a 2 burner Camp Chef Explorer high output stove - a single burner butane stove (the kind caterer's use) - a Camp Chef Artisan Pizza Oven used on the Explorer stove - a Camp Chef propane oven - a 12" cast iron dutch oven - an assortment of cast iron pie irons - a WeberQ 210 gas grill Hopefully someday I will learn how to use all of this stuff....

I agree with Jeff on this one as well.... Men are simple creatures, most of us would welcome a gift card or money of any kind to go out and choose what we want. Speaking for me personally, I don't worry about the "thought" that did or did not go into any gift card or currency that I received.

A good surge protector would be a great gift for a relatively new RV'r. They are a little pricey but a good safety feature to protect not only the rig but your family as well.

Am I lucky enough for page 2 or have page 3 bragging rights?

I now understand why we never got to see you guys after that first day.... you were lost for several days somewhere between the Outpost and the 700 loop. It must have been really lonely out there on the ECV all alone with no food or drink.... I guess it really is a wilderness out there!

Couldn't wash the dishes huh? Sounds like an excuse to get out of doing them....
