+1 for Publix, and if coming from the north it is very convenient on Rt 535. Drive is less than 10 minutes from the Fort. No where near the traffic compared to the local Winn-Dixie or Publix in Celebration.

Looks like they are clearing around the Lodge for this project.

Once they finish the lakefront lodges there will be plenty of parking.

Hope "The Mouse" appreciates the sacrifice I am making. I don't think the sun is even up that early. :grumpy2: I don't get up that early so I don't know what time the sun is up. :o Thanks !

We have breakfast reservations at Crystal Palace (8:00am) before the park opens. THe schedule says 9:00am opening. What time do the Bay Lake loop boats start running? We planned to ride over to the Toaster and walk. We wanted to get into the park around 7:30 to get a few minutes to take pictures and enjoy the decorations without the crowds. Given the time of year I am not sure if they allow you to park at the Contemporary. Thanks

CLASSIC !!!

Any signs of a private fireworks showing The one this past July was AWESOME !!!

Verizon, 4G service no problem. Also you can borrow a cable modem from the Settlement store, bring an AP from home and now you have Wi-fi at your site.

It's about 3/4 of a mile from the bus stop at the the Settlement to the Wilderness Lodge. To bike the entire campground, every loop (cabins too), is a good 1.5 hour at an enjoyable pace. I would definitely recommend bikes if you are planning chunks of time at the campground, pool time or kids that like a bit of freedom. We are not fans of the internal buses and use the bikes to get to to the Outpost bus stop, we usually are in 4, 5 or 600 loop and just walk to the Settlement. We love to rent a cart for a day or two at the decorating holidays like Halloween or Christmas and tour around. I

Not to worry, with all the money Jose saved the Mouse this year turning off the Christmas decorations at 10pm, they should have plenty of dough for repairing the fleet.

Come on guys be nice to Jose, I am sure the lights are bothering the armadillos or some other important environmental factor like that. For his next at bat, Jose will be banning campers. Look how bad those guys are on the environment. Always peeing on those helpless trees!!!

What is this about a curfew on Christmas lights Did I miss something

From the mass exodus this morning I think it is a ghost town again. We went out for breakfast at 8:00 already some RV's leaving. Came back at 11:00 and it was stop and go from the 4-way intersection. We left just before noon and it was still stop and go from the 4-way. There were also a bunch (8-10) of checked-in RV's parked on the grass by the hitch/unhitch area waiting for a site. Never saw that before. Busy trick o treat night. We were in the 600 loop. An accident closed the loop to all for about 30 minutes. Still gave out 1200 pieces of candy.

You may want to stop and stock up 20-30 minutes away. Depending on the time and day you arrive, the local traffic is just stupid. If you come in from the north off the Florida Turnpike to Rt 429 to Rt 535 there is a new Publix about 5 miles north of the Fort.

We were checking in last Christmas Eve about noontime, the rv next us was making quite a stink. They arrived a day early and there were no sites and Disney would not allow them to stay overnight in the parking lot. The guy really did not take it well, guest he dropped his Disney spirit at the last fill-up. As we were finishing our check-in the Disney Po-Po were escorting the Rv to the exit.
