My husband couldn't agree more! me too!

I have a problem with cyclists who feel the the road is theirs.. It often times creates hazards for the cyclist, the car passing and the the oncoming traffic. Just because you can doesn'e always mean you should. I have seen a dad with a small baby in a bike carrier on back and asmall child on a bike in front of him all on a very busy road. Now if the child in front should take a fall, there is not much a dad could do quickly to help and a nasty accident could result. Another instance an entire family with young children were riding on an unmarked country road downhill on a curve. This was ver

Has anyone had better luck with wifi in the loops since devores OP. Just wondering if they have expanded since then. Don't really want to go the modem route. Last time I needed an ethernet card which I left home. Is this still needed? I have a new lapttop, so maybe not? Just trying to get things in order as we will need to work on our upcoming holiday trip.

There'll be a cold on in the cooler with your name on it Dave!! :cheers:

Thanks for the extra leg work!

Thanks, Carol! I knew you'ld come through!

Need a little information from some of you fiends and I am sure Carol will probably have the answers. Heading to the Fort over the holidays. We will have our MH and set up camp. The kids will filter down with their wife/girlfriends. We will have a total of 10 adults and a 1 year old. Should I leave the 1 year old off the reservation to avoid going over the 10 limit? Or does that matter? She won’t need a key card. Can she be included in EMH without one? Secondly, we usually put up one tent, but it has always been us and my five boys. Now with some girlfriends, we may need to put up a second te

I miss Skippy! :'(

Thanks Carol, that was very helpful.

I was afraid of that, but I will have him check when he gets there. It would be nice to know in advance.Thanks.

Son is going to Disney World with his college band. They are providing a 3 day park hopper ticket. Can he take that ticket to Guest Services and upgrade it to an annual pass? He will be going again at Christmas with us and figure this would be the best way to go.

Hijack away Dave! Just post some vacation pics! Darn....hijacked my own thread:(

Is it stil possible to get passholder rates at the campground. I use to always be able to get them throughout the year but have not the past several years. Do they even offer those rates at the Fort anymore. Going to be there for about 2-3 weeks in Dec and woold like to get them for part of the stay. I don't know if it's even worh trying. I already have my reservations and I used to be able to just have the discount applied in the past. Let me know what you have expericenced with AP rates at the fort in recent years.

My worry about on line check in is not getting my request. I always have to have a discussion with the check in agent about my request, because I usually have to wait a day to get the site I want. I will be checking into the Caribbean Beach Resort in June and will try it then, as I don't have any request for this trip.

Remember, TIW is also good at all the lounges. We use it at the bar at Poly and Prime Time. Unlike your AP discount it is good on ALCOHOL!!!!. so for a romantic trip, you can visit a lot of places you wouldn't normally go with the kids. They have added more places it is good at, I think some counter service. We like to use it at ESPN on Boardwalk too.

It is always this way unless you bbok early....but just keep calling every day -shorten your requested days and then add on as they become available. I have started with just one night and kept calling till I would get my three weeks. Tenacity and patience has always paid off and I have always gotten my dates over Christmas at the Fort for the last17 years that we have gone. Good Luck and maybe we will see you over Christmas!

Motor Home. Sorry

Sorry about your loss. I think taking your regular trip is a wonderful idea. You will no doubt have many memories of you wife from your previous trips. You and the kids will walk past something and say "Remember when mom did......." Embrace those memories and make many more new ones. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your kids. Enjoy your trip and that Beautiful New Motoe Home!!!

I fry bacon outside on an electric griddle for this reason, It get's the whole campground going, too!

The view was great, and the drinks were good(coffee, tea ,etc) but the deserts were so-so. Tried it once and that was enough. The desert variety was plenty, but much of it tasted the same. Was not impressed.

Who's Rhonda?

Great TR! Makes me wishing for another trip real soon :banana: Probably not till December Till then, I will camp vicariously through everyone's reports.

I've also pondered OP question myself. I like all the responses. How often is the Fort booked to capacity and how many campers are turned away at those times. I tried for a year to get a site for the 99-2000 celebration and it wasn't until around Thanksgiving that I got it. I kept thinking, if they are booked solid a year out, they would have had plenty of time to add more loops so I could get my ressie! I suppose a lot of people canceled for the Y2K fear and that is why it opened up. We stayed two weeks and it really wasn't terribly crowded. That was our best vacation. One reason I love stayi

Wonderful pictures! Thanks for sharing, :banana:

Rocky is adorable! We too have a young boxer and the episode with the camera case is very familiar. I just love these dogs personalities :heart:
