Grumpy and Grandma

Except "What DISNEY wants DISNEY gets"....can't say that applies to all local governments.

Except the "WILD WOMENZ" would monopolize them in February...

I blame local government for that, Lake County is a prime example. There are numerous "Golf Cart Communities" between 192 and Saw Grass, but the county didn't require or build any sidewalks along 27 for carts to use. They just spent tons of money to upgrade 27 and did nothing to upgrade the walks.

With more and more "work from home" jobs along with the fact that several "high tax" states such as Illinois are losing over 6.5 per 1,000 FL is an ideal place to go.

Another litte "TID-BIT".. For the current year, Florida's population is expected to increase by 332,637 people. Between 2020 and 2021, it's estimated the population will grow by 324,025 people, and 314,977 the following year. For the 2022-2023 year, estimates are for 305,560; 294,727 for 2023-2024 and 284,673 for the following year.Aug 13, 2019

There are 2 new hotels currently going up further West on the N side too. It also looks like the work is being done at the intersection of Avalon and Western Way which is supposed to connect it to Saw Grass Bay on 27. The shopping center is also under construction on the S side of W.W, again further West.

We enjoyed both Coral Reef and San Angel Inn, not impressed with BOG and it was noisy. As to Trail's End it's all good, just depends on your schedule. Also look at Via Napoli.

Since the 2 partners in ELITE have names totally different from the two names on GREENBERG's "SORRY WE"RE CLOSING" and the fact that they are based out of FL CAMPER"S INN and not the office that Holowinski used on 192 tells me there is no connection. Also is they were connected why is one of Greenberg's rigs still sitting on his lot(Holowinski's) here? It used to be when it was brought in they always connected it to power,, it isn't now. I still say it is just totally name confusion. This is also nothing close to what Greenberg even attempted. From Elite: Vacation for your dr

I think the "Elite" that was on Greenberg's site is being confused with Elite Camper Rentals. Greenberg also had a rental site at our park which is Elite Resorts and our park was mentioned on his web-site along with the FORT. There has been no activity here since he closed. As to the "theft" reference vs repo. If I remember correctly the Sheriff was on site at the FORT when the rigs were towed out. A search of "ELITE CAMPER RENTAL'S" address is a lot at "FLORIDA CAMP INN" RV Park on US-27.

All the Florida TV media who were on it say it's the "best I've have ever been on" and that DISNEY did an outstanding job.

Where's Paul Harvey when you need him?

Just announced as a Breaking news story........ "Shut down"

They opened at 7 this morning instead of 8 and the wait time is currently posted as "EVENING"..

We were going for lunch and the guard at AOA actually suggested that. We just went to Coronado Springs instead, no problem.

Found out today that AOA, POP CENTURY & CARIBBEAN BEACH are all on a HARD PARKING CLOSE until JANUARY. If you do not have a reservation you cannot get in for any reason. This is apparently to stop people from parking and hoping on the SKYLINER to get to H.S. and Star Wars. Not sure if it applies to BOARDWALK, but I would think it does since BOARDWALK is usually very restrictive over the holidays already.

Glad you got it fixed. Lippert pretty much .has a monopoly since they bought Dexter's frame shop back in 2012.

Hope you weren't too far from home.

Having spent numerous long term winters at the FORT I know that many of the "In resident TA's" had the ability to request sites for their long term clients well in advance and that would have created the scenario you encountered. That would have been specially true since many locals and groups arrive on Friday and if you were staying the weekend that would have messed up the site requests that had been granted. It is my understanding that the TA's can no longer request sites either and one of the reasons it may have changed is because of what you ran into. Time will tell, we just need

Have heard other good reports about them too.

I thought Premium Meadow didn't start till Jan.

Except all the info, less the pictures, came from the "GOLDEN BOOK" in the OUTPOST.

The $64,000 question!!!!!!

If this was posted before I missed it. I was just informed that the OUTPOST is no longer assigning sites and that it is being done by the central reservation office the same as Resort Rooms. As I understand it even the long term TA's who are at the FORT can no longer get specific sites for their clients. Anybody else heard anything?

If I remember correctly the FL Turnpike only accepts the SUN PASS or the EZ Pass Plus (or what ever the 18 state is) if that is where you're getting your bills from. They don't recognize the standard EZ Pass which is good on the other Toll roads such as 429, 417 and 408.
