    Thanks for the info... I went vegan (mostly) last Jun. We're very thankful for dining options that are at least vegetarian...we allow ourselves a little dairy/cheese cheat while we're visiting Disney. We'll definitely check out that restaurant next time we come (Jan)... We're amazed to see more and more vegetarian choices around the parks. My favorite is the Tusker House lunch buffet. They have a really good selection of veg. dishes.

    Love the shooting sports!! Just wish that ammo prices would come back down to earth... I have resorted to shooting mostly .22lr with my son. We both built custom 10/22's this past year. Tack drivers! Shooting Wolf Match...and man is it accurate. I still qualify every six months with an H&K USP40CLEM... Grew up shooting with my dad...he started me out with a 410 when I was six...and let me shoot his 12ga when I was six too...sat me on my butt real quick. He and a friend reloaded...so they had me carrying a .300 WinMag when I was 8...going deer hunting with them (of course my cartridg

    Thanks Lou! That was a very enlightening post. It still looks to me that your Drivers are very safety concious operators...and they have always be friendly and courteous to us. Logistics...it just amazes me. For the layperson (me)...it's easy to picture the "perfect world"... but I'm not constrained by actual limitations. For example, I have no idea what it takes for a Driver to be qualified on a paticular route --- and how impractical it would be to be able to redispatch busses as they pull into a station...just based on how big a crowd there is standing by a particular bus stop.

    Lou, while I have the most reverent respect for the drivers...the "Disney Transportation System" leaves a lot to be desired. Did you know that Otis put a push button on elevators starting back in 1907. 105 years later...buses still do the stupidest things. While waiting over 40 minutes for an EPCOT bus to come to Ft. Wilderness...we see three buses come for Animal Kingdom. The first one had a couple of passengers..the other two left empty. Why on earth they would cue a bus to one destination every 10 minutes...while other destinations go for 40 minutes is beyond me. With the number of sma

    For those of us that enjoy HOPS along with the MALT... the 50's Prime Time Cafe at Hollywood Studios carries Sierra Nevada Torpedo's...yummy! Hope they become available in more venues in the future...or beers of similar style.

    That's a big no-no! All pets must be kept on a handheld leash that is 6 feet or shorter or confined in the interior of the owner's personal recreational vehicle. For pop-ups and tents, pets must be secured in a container, such as a portable cage or kennel. It's funny... I think Ft. Wilderness must change their pet policy all the time. We bought our 5th wheel because at one time they changed the policy to prohibit pets unless you had a "hard sided" camper with air conditioning. Maybe they change it with the seasons...I haven't been wary to the changes over the years. We would take our Sa

    Dogs are usually pretty quiet at night. Everyone usually does a good job of picking up after thier pets. You might step in deer droppings if your not careful...but usually not doggie pooh. If you're at the North End of the campground the noises are usually... 1) Magic Kingdom Fireworks, 2) That obnoxious boat thing that goes around the lake with the lights and music, 3) The clip-clop of horses drawing a wagon... If you're at the South End of the campground the noises are usually... 1) Epcot Fireworks, and 2) Magic Kingdom Fireworks... I think you can hear them both pretty well from the South

    We used to tent camp there before they changed the pet policy to require a "hard sided camper with air conditioning". The first couple of times...we were in dedicated tent loops...and had no problems. Then once they put us in an RV loop. There wasn't enough of that sand/shell aggregate to put tent pegs into for our size tent. Then they sent us to another loop...same problem --- and worse yet...it was right next to the busy loop road...so car headlights would have been beaming into the tent all evening. We finally drove around and found a site and called them to see if it was available...a

    My advice.... DOn't Do it!! You'll become a slave to the tonga toast --- as I have. I can't remember a stay when we haven't made the MANDATORY journey to the polynesian for obigatory Tonga Toast, and a french press of Kona Coffee. It has become a VICE. The other dish that has me enslaved is --- Candele Pasta at Via Napoli (Italy, Epcot - World Showcase) Just so you know --- It is HABIT FORMING!!

    Here's our "biggie" ear Mickey Lamp... What a blast it was to plug-in...and watch light up!!

    Wow...we're putting our globes together --- trying to decide on ABS or Aluminum for the post. Wish we could find a milk jug like that around here... That looks amazing! Now, every other Mickey LIght Post will look like it's missing it's body! Guess we'll settle for an umbrella stand for starters... Thanks for posting the pictures of that beautiful Mickey Lamp!!!

    +1 Fabreeze... I cook bacon outside on an electric skillet. Teflon coated, wipe up -- easy clean. My wife found it on clearance for $15. I use electric pole power...and don't waste propane. Keeps bacon smell outside. Highly recommend it!

    Sorry the details are not too sharp...but I have taken such a trip. We drove from Altus, Ok to Charleston, SC with an 8 mo old. We left after diner and drove through the night. Our little one, Corey (now 25, Married, and Father to a beautiful 8 mo old little girl) slept in his car seat comfortably thru the night. It's a technique anyway... I would probably do it that way again. On a long trip --- plan a stop or two along the way. Dad, go to hotel and sleep all day. Mom and kids go to a zoo, water park, playground...Have a big day and wear everyone out. Have a nice meal togethe

    Ahhh... Brazilian style... Now that's a feast! I'm suprised they don't have the Frango do Passarinha on the menu. One of my favorites. But they have lots of good choices.

    Dog Walk

    Chuggs replied to Chuggs's topic in Camping for Pets

    Thanks! Yeah...we try to camp along the canals when we can. The 300 loop or 1800 loop. That lets us escape the loop in the early morning without having our Samoyeds talk (bark) to everyone on the way to Wagin' Tails. The male, Conner, in particular...thinks that if he barks at everyone --- he'll get them to come over and pet him. They're both eager to meet people...or better yet --- other doggies. The canal banks are a great way to skirt the loop with minimal ruckus. For some reason...(worn totally out)...they aren't quite as energetic on the way back to the loop from the dog park :) We'

    I try to share this with all my friends that RV with pets. If you're like us...you might crate your pets in the RV while you run over to the parks for some fun, food, drink, and thrills... We were always bothered by the nagging possibility that the power might go out, or the a/c unit quits... When it's a hot sunny day --- our samoyed's would be overcome by heat, if left inside the camper and we are unaware. I found a lot of different monitoring tools out there...most were very expensive. Then I came across a couple of items on Amazon.com that allowed me to hookup a system in our camper. Cobr

    Dog Walk

    Chuggs posted a topic in Camping for Pets

    On our last visit...we were looping on our bikes and tripped across a sign that said "Dog Walk"... I think we where on the 700 loop near the south end. There was a foot bridge that crossed a canal...and joined the Dog Walk. It extends along the western edge of the 800 loop...and terminates somewhere down by the 900 loop. There is another foot bridge down there that joins the Group Camping area...but it's posted "No Pets"... Thought I'd share the find...in case you're looking for a new adventure for your fur kid. See ya'll at Wagin' Tails!
