It was dark and a Friday night, the lot did look pretty full. My wife thought the same thing.

No we are AP holders. I explained the situation to one of the attendants and he did let us break out of the line of cars and park the motorhome a bit closer to the Poly but still too far to walk.

We had reservations at Ohana 2 years ago after we checked out at the Fort. Even with dinner reservations they guard made us turn around cause the lot was at capacity. We had to park in the MK lot and take the tram to the ticket center and just walk over to the Poly.

And all the cameras around people's necks.

Anyone need a new rig?

At highway speeds that beast would destroy your back and kidneys. Being a set back cabover. Even with air seats it would be rough. -

Gas Golf Carts no longer allowed?
shaffecv replied to Specularius's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
The vehicle rules ( more like guidelines) posted at the Meadows and Settlement bulletin boards make no mention of gas carts not being permitted. (as of 12/1/18 when we checked out) However the 16 year old guideline is still being requested though it is not being observed by many guests. Plenty of carts we observed didn't have a 16 year old anywhere near them. A gas cart with a factory exhaust system isn't much louder than a battery powered cart. And when they're lifted with big mud tires. you can't tell which is which over the sound of the rumbling tires. LOL -
The Keenz wagons have at least doubled in use over the past year. Also love the dimwit that tries to take a double wide packed with sh$# through the "No Bags " entrance and holds everything up.

So we're headed down from PA on Black Friday. Checking in Saturday. Straight shot down 95 this time. How and where do you pick up 429? Looks like a more scenic/relaxing route.

It always was a pain to stop at the toll booths. I mean, your almost in view of The Fort and they made you stop and explain yourself. Last year when we came from Gainesville, my map app. brought us in Vista Blvd. It was interesting seeing all the Disney warehousing and support facilities.

Electric carts have a higher fire risk than gassers. One loose battery cable can get hot enough to get the rubber coating to start burning. Even when turned off and being charged.

With the deals on airfare from Philly or Newark camping at the fort is a hard sell to my wife compared to resorts especially with the 8mpg motorhome. But your reasons are the same for me. It's just so much more relaxing at the beginning and end of each day when your sipping some moonshine under your own awning.

What to do if your tow vehicle DIES
shaffecv replied to mastergracey's topic in RV Repairs on the Road, at FW and Elsewhere
The home owner side of Enterprise puts lock pins in the hitch so you can't use it. A buddy of mine rented a Nissan Titan when his truck broke down. Cut off the lock, towed his camper and just bought a new lock pin at a trailer shop and put in in the hitch when he returned it. Hertz pretty much lets you do whatever you want, but I'm not sure if Enterprise Commercial allows towing. SunBelt and United Rentals also rent 3/4 ton and up trucks, -
Wheel Bearing Education...
shaffecv replied to twiceblessed....nacole's topic in RV Repairs on the Road, at FW and Elsewhere
Do the axles have EZ lube hubs? (A rubber cap in the middle of the lug nuts with a grease fitting under it .) If it does you just need to jack the wheel off the ground and put a pump or two of wheel bearing grease in the fitting while spinning the tire. Our race trailer has well over 70,000 miles and that's all that I've ever done, usually twice a year. If you don't have EZ lube hubs $70 per wheel is not a bad price. Just be sure they are installing new seals because they must be removed in order to grease the bearings. And should not be re used. While jacked up grab the wh
