Thanks for sharing BRDof3! 'Congratulations' and 'Thanks' to Jen and Chris for getting 'Fort Fiends' up and running!!! I know we all really appreciate their hard work and already this site is recognized as one of the best! Number "1" on the list from 'rv.net' now that is pretty impressive!

I did not take this picture but I thought it was a beautiful shot from the Grand Floridian that I wanted to share with everyone!

Christmas 2009

I am sure a lot of people with disagree with me but my least favorite ride is 'Space Mountain'. One week after Space Mountain opened for the first time many years ago my wife and I rode it. Believe me, I do not do well on fast roller coaster rides in the dark! I have tried it again a few times since that first experience and my head and stomach still can't handle the motion! But my wife, children and grandchildren love it! I will continue to be happy to just sit and wait for them to finish the ride and that way I am not sick the rest of the day!

Our favorite 'Partial Hook-Up' campsite is in the 1500 Loop and is site 1513 or 1511 and our favorite 'Premium/Full Hook-Up' is in the 1400 Loop and is site 1431.

Hello Disneybishops (Dan) ........ It really is nice to have you back with the Fort Fiends on this new site!

Hello Judy ........ Thanks for the update! I am glad you are doing better!

"Welcome" ......... Glad you found the site that most everyone moved to! It took me a while to locate it also! I must be a bit slower then most!

Comfort station, give me a break. It's a rest room, a bathroom, a toilet, it has urinals . Who the heck came up with that name? Hello MagicBus ........ That is a good question! My guess is it must have been one of the high paid Disney executives! You are right, it is a bathroom / restroom that I guess you go to for 'Comfort'.

Hello Brent .......... We also love the 1500 Loop but we did stay in the 2000 Loop during our first camping trip to Fort Wilderness and we had an outstanding time! We loved the experience of camping at Fort Wilderness so much that we have been doing it every year for the last 30+ years! It all started for our family in the 2000 Loop. I hope you and your family are having a great time! Safe Travels, Doug / datgrt@fw

I can't take credit for taking this picture but I thought it was one of the prettiest pictures of the Castle I have seen. I think the photographer did an outstanding job in capturing this shot! I hope you like it as well! Doug / datgrt@fw

During our trip in June 2009 this alligator was swimming in the Meadow Lake between the 600 Loop and the Sing-Along Campfire area. The third picture shows two of the Disney Cast Members on shore watching it. It took a little while but they were able to catch it. Doug / datgrt@fw
