Why the golf carts?
GaDawgFan.....Kelly replied to CakeHenn's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
Agreed! I think it's especially exciting to help someone plan for the first time. But for the record, I found FF through google. However, I was far from a Disney newbie. -
Exercise at Disney? Doesn't all that walking around the parks count?!?!?!

Why the golf carts?

As far as locking bikes, I would lock them, only because there are THOUSANDS of sites/cabin/people at the Fort. I've never heard of anything happening there, but with so many people, I'd worry a little. I've never locked bikes in another campground, but I've also never stayed at another campground that ran internal busses. -

You don't need a cart, but they are fun. We do rent a cart when we go to the Fort, but we use an outside company. Check out the link Monique posted. There's good info there. We stay at another campground that has way fewer sites than the Fort but is LARGE like the Fort, and they don't allow carts. We ride bikes all over there and enjoy it. We put our son (almost 4) in one of those trailers you pull behind, and we can also fit a cooler and snacks with him for the beach/pool. On our last trip, we had 2 half days and 7 full days. We did 5 park days (go at opening, come back for nap, stay until 7- -
And you could always have one of our friendly travel agents keep an eye on the Fort for you.

Help with ticket options

I like the crowd calendar and touring strategy on easywdw.com. I'll admit it. I'm a planner. We go when it's super busy, and I don't like to wait in lines. -
Considering First Trip
GaDawgFan.....Kelly replied to CakeHenn's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
My son loves traveling and is pretty easy going, but we did a Disney trip when he was 4 months (really for me and DH), just turned 3, and were going back for his 4th birthday. He LOVES it and still talks about random details from last year. There's something the other Fiends haven't warned you about though. And it's serious.... The Fort ruins all other campgrounds. We were supposed to go somewhere else for Spring Break this year. I started looking for a nice campground and comparing amenities, etc. and nothing compared. I kept thinking, wow, this will cost almost as much as the Fort and isn't -

Bag for MK

Those are both highly rated and seem like they would work great. We use frozen water bottles to keep things cool, so we can drink them later. -

Bag for MK
GaDawgFan.....Kelly replied to onadraw's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
Ha ha! I think most of us have 0 warning points. Apparently, unlike most things around here, they are very serious. -

Welcome!!!!!!!!! Good for you for jumping right in! Will you be pushing a stroller? We use one with under storage, so we just put a soft sided cooler under it. If no stroller, I'd use a back pack because they're more comfortable. You can probably put 2 of those lunch size coolers in it if you can't find an insulated one. Or, you can rent a locker, but that ties you down to where you'll be at lunch or when you want drinks. -
I'm in even though I'm not a NASCAR person. We love tailgating so much that we talk about going to a race someday, just for the experience. Actually I went to the Daytona 500 when I was around 10, but I don't count that.
