YENSIDCAMPER replied to YENSIDCAMPER's topic in Trip Reports
Monday Morning, bright and early before Dawn's crack, I mean the crack of dawn... Off to HS and then back to the Fort for some real rest and relaxation. This mug is for us! This is an ooold All Star Movie mug we keep in the camper at all times. -

Wow, Carol you are up early and on the boards quick. I posted that only 4.5 hours ago. Not much sleep on my part. I feel a nap by the pool is in my future. Thanks for following and have a great day! -

Let's get back on track with our morning mugs of coffee, Saturday morning we were in the Country Inn and Suites in Cordele, GA. We used the house cups and while I meant to take a shot of the cup, I just didn't before they were thrown away. This morning was a little hectic as we slept in and had to rush to EPCOT. So I used old trusty. There is a hidden Mickey or two on there I am sure of it. We slept in late to give DS1 time to sleep off his traumatic injury from last night. The kid never complained today and didn't need the $25 bucks in burn cream I got him at Walmart last night. Solarcaine -

Thanks to all for the well wishes at Epcot and it is gorgeous! DS arm is not hurting and he slept great. Is it against the law to have given him a pint before bed? Just kidding that was me. Hope to drive by some sites and say hey when we leave thw park today. I will post the pixs tonight. YC -

Finally settled in on site 2023, it is one we sent in on our site request :) We were verry delayed getting to the Fort due to almost constant rain and traffic like I had never seen before. It was packed and everyone would speed up to 60mph and then come to a complete stop. The van is at its limits and it doesn't do very good from a stand still. It was like this from Lake City to Ocala. The toll both was really backed up but moved really well. When we got back from getting supplies at Walmart, we cooked a pizza and as my DSs were sitting down to eat, my younger one dropped his pizza and bump -
Itch. We got in much later than expected. The rain slowed us down and then from Lake City to Ocala was crazy busy, we were delayed over two hours because of it. We are in site 2023 -- no Fiend sign haven't gotten one yet. AuburnJen is mailing us a sticker to our site so hopefully we will be showing our colors soon. Sorry about the game I love baseball sounds like it was good while it lasted. Hope to see you soon. YC

The morning had finally arrived… Travel Day! So I broke out a travel mug… Last nights packing was pretty fruitful… But then it was time to go to work. Would 2:30 ever get here??? When I got home, my hardworking DW had the van all packed. Nothing left but the hooking up… the van to the camper, that is! (get your minds out of the gutter!) Fort Wilderness, Here We Come! We remembered the DS's Easter baskets and look what was in the bin with them… We had to bring him along! Currently we are stuck in a traffic jam outside of Chattanooga. That was not part of our plans, but at least it -

6:30 pm just home from work, the packing begins for real. I hope by bedtime that everything that can be in the van is in the van. Check back and see the pictures. @Norm, I will have to check out Canvas Campers for sure, thanks for the tip. -

Last night and this morning were crazy, but not as crazy as tonight will be. I got an SD card reader to use to download pictures and made sure my Android phone will work well as a hotspot. It was working great last night. Even chatted with DaveINTn, TnBob, Kimski, and Pirate Jeff using it. It stopped working in the middle of my Thanksgiving tirp last year. I got some bins packed with clothes and I hope late tonight to show you all the packing that has been done. IF things go well we will be on the road by 3:00 central time tomorrow. We will stay just south of Macon and drive in on Saturday mor -

Norm, They have been great and fit right behind the seats in the Odyssey van as well as on the counters beside the bed in the PUP. The big ones are 20" wide by 17" deep by 10.5" tall. The smaller ones are 15.5 wide by 17 deep and 9 tall. The smaller ones were great when the boys were little but we need to bump them up to the larger ones now that they are older. This bins are sold individually not on the roll around stacks of three. The roof is in great shape so far, except I have now seen my first hair line cracks appearing after winter. I am going to MEK/ABS goo them and then coat the wh -

We love Seinfeld. Six months will pass fast the last week will take forever. The PTR is really helping my time to go faster. The next two days will be jammed packed and hopefully worth reading. Thanks for checking in. -

Last night, I got all the camera batteries charged, SD cards cleared, and cameras packed and ready to go. We picked up a reservation at Kona Café and Biergarten. We have mapped out which parks we are going which days. Added to our list of things to do and not forget. Most importantly I put the annual passes in my wallet. The little league team ran into a buzz saw last night. This kid was throwing gas, we lost 3-1. That makes my team .500 going into spring break. The fever is building really high can’t wait to leave. Here was my morning mug. Not one of my favorites…but it is still a WDW -

DVCcamper, thanks for the response. The pre-trip excitement is overtaking me, however the pre-trip stress of packing and keeping up a daily schedule is overtaking me as well. Oh well, got to keep moving forward. Family of Bears, Thanks for the feedback. We got our bins at Target and they easily stack beside both beds on the counters in our Coleman Bayside. We could stack more but don't need them. We will be there until Easter morning. I hope you guys make it and we get to say hello. YC -
We are going to be there on Saturday. How long are you staying?

Wow, that must have been some beer or it sounds like someone broke out the old Kungaloosh recipe and went to town. I am picturing the movie Hangover for some reason. -

This evenings installment starts with the drive home from work. I had a meeting in one of the more rural areas of TN today and the drive home was beautiful! The way the sun filtered through the trees I got that excited anticipatory feeling of being at the Fort. I got home and pulled the camper out from under the carport to pop up and check supplies. My wife put the sheets on the beds and we stocked up on all the supplies and loaded some things that are stored inside during the winter. My wife left to go help with Inner City Ministries and I worked on getting all the bikes aired up and put -

No other way to jump in...Are you saying Lou isn't always truthful :dropjaw: Some friends we camp with started on those and at first we were skeptical but those things have turned out to be great and they fit perfectly inside the camper. Thanks for the news, even if I don't like to hear that. It will ruin the way we usually go around the park. Oh well, something new makes life interesting. Thanks Michelle, I have many more and I don't know why I keep them all. I will show more of my collection off in the morning. I hope to get to some more packing on Wednesday. However, I am sure Thur -

Thanks for following along! I bet they will be packed. We won't care, we plan on hitting the rope drops and then coming back to the Fort to relax, and then hitting some of that late night evenings. Did she say if they were enforcing the fast pass times or not? -

A very crazy busy day. I got the bike racks back on the camper with some extra foam under the bars to help with bouncing. I took the back seat out of the van, need to vacuum back there. I then mowed the yard till I ran out of gas and then had to go coach baseball. I came back got gas and finished mowing the (front yard only) I hope I can get the back done before we leave or it will be a jungle come Easter. Went to church and then came home and got the bins out for packing clothes. These are our "chest of drawers" in the pop up. Not a bad way to pack really. My wife gets the three big on
