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.

The short cut between the railroad station at Mickey's Toon Town and Space Mountain is nice, but it's a gauntlet of cigarette smoke.

And all the cameras around people's necks.

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

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.

That's as bad as the tank exchange racks at 7-11 etc. At least there you getting a freshly painted and inspected tank.

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.

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,

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

What about all the plastic baggies used to cover the candy apples and rice crispy treats on a stick. Maybe wax paper is in the near future for that application.

Looks like it's pretty $pendy to get into the pro$pectin' busine$$..

Don't know if it improved any, but in March just getting in the lot was a nightmare. Most times traffic was backed up to Buena Vista coming in. The busses could barely make the swing into the original drop off area. And they had a few stop signs up that most cars weren't obeying in the exit lanes. The bus drivers who had that route should have been getting hazardous duty pay.

I don't recall. but did the ride break down that much in it's original ( and much better) form? Or is it due to the much higher ride demand now? It was almost always a walk on like The Three Caballeros in the Mexico Pavilion. I think the mechanicals of the ride stayed the same, only the scenery and soundtrack were changed. I could be wrong.

Sounds like a pretty fun activity. Though we usually aren't back at the Fort by 9. We would try to make at least one cruise when we are there. A morning "coffee cruise' would work for me since I usually do that anyway while waiting for my wife and or kids to wake up and get ready.

Sometimes You cant satisfy every last guest. My sister has taken my autistic nephew to Disneyland 3 or 4 times and says they are always more than helpful. ADVERTISING A district judge in Florida had ruled previously that Disney was accommodating the autistic visitors and dismissed the claims in 2016. The autistic visitors appealed to the court in Atlanta. Under the parks’ current program, Disney allows visitors with disabilities to get a special card giving them an “appointment time” to get on a ride after the specified time with little

That's not a bad price here in PA, especially with new batteries. Rear seat, roof and windshield ?

After a weekend of catching up on vehicle oil changes. Two Jetta's. golf cart, wife's Trailblazer, two dirt bikes and my service truck. My wife came in the house super excited after work yesterday after she found the "hidden Mickey" I made for her to find on the garage floor. OH BOY !! September 23rd can't come soon enough or she may need an intervention.

It's disheartening when you sit there and watch your property being stolen. Saw a guy attempt to steal one of my kids KTM dirt bikes from him as he pushed it out of an arena once. All you can do is make it as difficult as possible to steal. I even changed the ignition switch on our golf cart so it doesn't use the same key that fits all Club Cars.

Staying at The Fort the week after Thanksgiving this year. Our oldest (22) and his girlfriend might fly in for a few days. He would like to stay in a tent on our site if they join us. We've had some chilly nights that week in years past. What are all you tenters using as a safe heat source?
