Grumpy and Grandma

There used to be 1 site that was occupied by a unit belonging to a dealer who let employees use it. It was there 365 days a yr since they had an agreement with Disney.n

But they won't stop your 4yr old when they drive your golf cart.

365 day a year school activities are also a major factor. We "club" camped since 1972 and our kids grew up with that type of vacation and made many friends from all across the country. It was not unusual to have a couple hundred kids and teens at a rally. Over the last 15 years or so we were lucky to have a couple dozen in attendance because as soon as school ends football camp, cheer camp, soccer camp, band camp etc all starts.. The kids and their families are no longer afforded "family" time. Lord forbid you skip a week, you are then ostracized by the coach(es)..

Hi Jim....

In my opinion, you can thank FACEBOOK. It seems to be the same on many of the forums.

The same way I did and the same way we always got the same room at the lodge, you ask. If you're there on a regular basis the people at the Outpost get to know your name and face. If you ask for the same site or a specific site when you make your reservation, 9 out of 10 times they will give it to you. Also many of those weekenders use the local TA's, many of which are also FORT regulars themselves, and I guarantee you they know who the site assigners/ managers are. H..l, I even had their name, "e" mail and direct # as do others, but you don't publicize it. If you do, you're stupid.

Yes

That is traditionally one of the slowest weeks at WDW and how many families/working people camp Mon to Thurs? Consequently if someone books a Thurs to Sun site they can't sell it for a Sun to Sun reservation, so it sits empty. The FORT is not like most campgrounds with traveling people looking for 1 or 2 days during the week.

The way RV's are selling I wouldn't hold my breath.

And that was a partial build using the structures started before the economy tanked.

That happens more at the FORT do to "locals" planning and reserving weekend trips a yr in advance or longer. All you have to do look at license plates. FL has a heavy weekend presence. When we wintered there we regularly saw the same people several weekends a month. If 100 people book Thurs/Fri to Sun that removes 100 Fri-Fri ressies from the system.

Unless you move to Vermont....

But they are on DISNEY property, I didn't know that till last month. Even every hotel has DISNEY's cable system.

9 out of 10, the server has said remind me at the end of your meal.

Your AP is on your Magic Band, but since many people have multiples, Linda and I have at least 8 each, they could still give a spare to a friend for dining and merchandise discounts. And no, we've not had trouble getting the discount at any restaurant or store, but the rule clearly states, "with a photo ID".

Happy Thanksgiving everyone

Opened 46 yrs ago.... Happy Birthday.... ?? ???

Yes and all we did was ask when we made the ressies. We were in 119, DD and family were in cabin 120.

Yummmmmmy......?

All is fine. Give me a little warning next time you're here and we'll try to run over.

X-2...,but I'm not sure about the company you keep.

From the Orlando Sentinel. A Disney Cruise Line employee is accused of embezzling about $275,000 from the ship where he worked and then using some of the money to take his family on a lavish Disney World vacation, federal court records show. Renan Dias Da Rocha Gomes was charged with wire fraud from allegations stemming from his job at merchandise stores on board the cruise ship Disney Wonder from October 2015 to last week, according to court documents filed in U.S. District Court’s Southern District of California.

Fellow does that in 1800 every year.

That's one advantage of being with the FIENDS. We've given out candy for the younger generation while they're out and about with their kiddos and I'm sure others have too. So just enjoy the experience. ToTr's come in all ages, really young to really not so young.

? Hi and welcome. Your kids should have a blast. Lot's of FT activities ? along with ToT and the golf cart parade. You can choose to give out candy or not, up to you. If you do plan on a bunch. As you will see in the members section a group of FIENDS will be probably gathered at one site to ???and hand out candy. Enjoy
