We need to fix that!

Welcome! We're in the Atlanta area too. Most of the Lake Lanier campgrounds are nice. Our favorite is Shady Grove. Stone Mountain is nice. The Smokey Mountain KOA has toooooons of stuff for kids to do. Most KOAs we've been to are nice.

I will agree the France drinks are good, BUT La Cava trumps them.

I've done all but draw Mickey and see the animals at night. I'll work on those. TCD, I thought you were going to take Mrs. TCD on the Behind the Seeds tour. What happened?!?!? I'm going to add.... See WDW decorated for Christmas Eat at a signature restaurant

I agree, without the Lapu Lapu, this list is worthless. 1) Lapu Lapu 2) Anything from La Cava That's all the list you need.

Your comments about your oldest DD are super sweet. Do they read your reports?

Do it! You won't be sorry. The food tastes so much better. We can't even eat food off a gas grill anymore.

No, they run on wood charcoal. Although, some people do add an electric starter. They're pretty easy to start with just a little piece of charcoal starter though. Santa might bring Jason this wand that you put down in the charcoal and it lights it. Not sure though.

A happy 40 year old got his second Big Green Egg today. All he has to do is cut out a circle on the right side to complete his double table. (large on the left, medium on the right). The medium is light enough to travel.

Love seeing all your girls together. Please let them know that Z is going to be Flynn Rider for Halloween. He will be available for pictures on our next trip down.

I'm in!

I'm guessing D-.

Our kids love playing shufflebaord at Topsail! I have not idea what that means. I love the shirts and hats! Also, the boat they weren't using is the boat for the kids' pirate adventure. It says docked at the GF, so I'm not sure why it was over there unless there were kids looking for treasure in the woods. Can't wait to hear more about the party!

I subscribe to TPs too, and many times their advice jives. BUT when I compare estimate wait times in park, Josh always wins. IP also uses historic date that doesn't always look at other factors. Good example.... TP suggested the MK as their most recommended park on July 4th. I'm pretty sure all fiends know that they would be (and was) the ONLY park closed for capacity that day. Far from a best park from a crowd standpoint.

Are you trying to sound like Lou? I guess since the grouch doesn't post anymore, you can take his place. Look at the Kenny the Pirate charts.... the longest waits are at the EMH parks. Always. Sure, if you're going to hit and run, you can. Actually, I challenge you to find ANYONE more efficient than me with touring. I know some don't like plans, but I don't like eating at crappy restaurants and not being able to see the attractions I want.

We follow the advice of Josh at easyWDW and avoid parks with EMH unless there is an unusual reason not to. I'm a teacher and a line snob. That means I only travel during peak times, but I also don't want to waste my time waiting in line. I also don't park hop as I don't see the value. If I had an AP, that would be different. Our MO is early RD at recommended park (via easywdw), afternoon break, return to the same park. The longest line I've EVER waited in during Easter week was a 20 minute Buzz and Woody character meet and a 20 minute FP return on Space. Usually 15 min is my limit.

I'm in!

Wow, Christmas already. Are they going to add spider webs for Halloween? I didn't use the word y'all until I was around 20. Since I have Yankee parents, the word wasn't used in my house. I am now officially pro-y'all. It's a useful pronoun.

Contempo Cafe Turkey, Brie, and Apple sandwich.... just under $10 and with homemade chips can be shared. Heaven!

Hmmmm.... Not sure about those pics of the climb! Pretty though!

I'm in! And robbed of page 1 again. Thanks Dave. Looking forward to the report. I think you guys are going to make it there more than you think. Live Troll Rants! Love it.

I'm not patient. I've been expecting it since yesterday! Where is it TCD?!?!

Looks like you've been having a great time!
