Ooooh, baby!! Oooooh, baby!! Now you are talking some GOOD EATS!! I like hot dogs just about any way they can be cooked! I even like them cold - right out of the package. But by far my favorite way is slightly burned on a grill with ketchup and mustard. Oh gawrsh....this is making me hungry & I'm fresh outta hot dogs!!

Do travel agents have access to a system showing who has room behind their rig for you? :rofl2: Donnie's M.O. is to knock on the door with his pillow & blanket in hand. He doesn't give you a chance to say "no"!! :rofl2:

Dave - That happened the night after I met you at the Fort!! If only Lar's had been a witness! :rofl2:

I had one CM at T.E. try to tell me I couldn't use my lifetime mug. He looked about 18 years old and was wearing the "Earning My Ears" ribbon. I told him that my mug was older than he was and to show me where it stated on the mug "good for length of stay". He actually looked and then told me he'd never seen one that didn't say that. I told him that he now knew what a lifetime mug looked like. He called another CM over to look at the mug and to question if my mug was "valid". The CM was Paulette ( :rofl2:) who then (to the shock of the kid) walked over and gave me a huge hug. She told th

Grand Marquis. The official car of old people. Now if it was a Crown Vic former cop car now that's a thugs car. As a matter of fact, I named the my Grand Marquis the "Old Fart-Mobile"! But gosh darn it, that car floated down the highway. It was a great car that Rick traded for a Lincoln Town Car. I hated the T.C. & refused to drive it. That's how I ended up with Rick's Explorer. I love driving an SUV & will in all likelihood never own a regular car again. The Crown Vic couldn't compare with the Grand Marquis. Same platform, totally different drive. I think FoMoCo made an awful mi

I have both of those plates and one other FtW plate. I have a few different WDW plates. My fav was Pooh's 100 Acre Woods that my DH forgot to take off my 1999 Grand Marquis when we traded it in. :heart:

I would call you "WISE". At one time the better restaurants at Disney were just that...better restaurants. Since the invention of the dining plans most of the meals they serve taste like they have been pre-prepared at a warehouse, shipped in to the restaurants, and microwaved before being served. I don't think anything is hand prepared at Disney anymore. Not even at the so-called "signature" restaurants. The food reminds me of what is served on Carnival Cruise Line.

Well - that was a very inventive (and lying) CM you got there!! Disney has never had an 800# except for back in the days of the Magic Kingdom Club Card holders - and that number was only given to MKCC recipients. The general public always payed phone charges to make ressies. Why? Because they would! Also - Disney never wanted to pay the monthly cost they would have incurred under the old structure of toll-free #'s. I used to sell 800 service back in the good old days of regulated phone service. At that time there were 3 different structures of 800 service. In state, out of state, intern

If Le Cellier is a signature restaurant, then McDonalds must be considered fine dining. LeCellier is an over-priced Logan's Steakhouse, if you ask me.

The "lifetime" mug is not a myth. I have one. Actually, I have two. The mugs made their first appearance in the early 1980's and were sold as lifetime mugs. Nowhere on the mug does it state "good for length of stay" as appeared on the mugs around 1987. Now - the current mugs are sold at 4 locations at the Fort as follows: Trails End Trails End Beverage Window Meadow Pool Snack Bar Meadow Trading Post You can get soda & coffee, hot tea, hot chocolate at Trails End & Meadow Snack Bar You can coffee, hot tea, hot chocolate at Meadow Trading Post

No they don't. Your sister goes along to make sure you don't spend too much money on overpriced Disney crap.

Rick & I have on purpose used each others passes with no problems. I think the finger scan thing is a bogus contraption meant to scare people into being honest.

That's a good choice, too! :rofl2:

I don't have kids, but we did have a pool at our first home. I had two rules (1) Bring your own towels. (2) Bring your own parents. If you didn't have both, you didn't go swimming. I have this unfounded fear of drowning - either myself or others. I say no one should go swimming alone, be it in a pool, lake, river, or stream. We lost a friend who was home alone & swimming in his own pool. He suffered a heart attack while swimmng. It wasn't the heart attack that killed him. He drowned. :kickinass:

Entenmann's Chocolate Covered Donuts. I don't eat them unless we're camping.

Well - I like my marshmallows in the form of PEEPS!!!

:dance: :banana: :banana: :banana: I'm not laughing at you, Becca. I'm laughing at the "other" site because their word filter automatically asterisks "fortfiend" or "fortfiend.net". I find that soooooooo funny!!

Howdy!! Welcome Home, Fiend!!

I'm assuming you have requested a premium site?? All kidding aside, my favorite premium loops are 1300 (around the curve from the CS), 1200, 1000 (sites 1013 & higher), 1100 (except the sites that back up to the cabins-1106 is my fav site) and 900 on the outside of the loop. I also like 500 IF you can get a canal site. Of the premium loops, 1400 is my least favorite. I don't know why....it just is.... with the exception of site 1431. The old section of 600 is very pretty amongst the trees. The new section reminds me of a KOA - as in - no trees. I find most of the sites on 800 to be cram

About two hours or less before we leave. If I over-think things - I take way more than we need.

Hmmmm.... tell you about the 600 loop..... hmmmmm.... The 600 loop is the loop on the northeast side of the Meadow Trading Post. At one time it was about half as big as it is now, but in the Great Fort Remodeling of 2008, The Mouse in his infinite wisdom, decided that he could squeeze some more money out of unsuspecting campers by adding 15 or so more sites. Site 617 is rightfully named the "Snag-A-Burger" site. It is so named because if the occupants of site 617 use the grill to cook up some burgers, they run the risk of said burgers being swiped by passers-by heading to the movie/sing-a-lo

When you renew AP's you also get the renewal rate which is roughly 10% off the full price. In 2010 they threw in an extra 3 months. I wish they did that again this year - but no such luck. :doublebeer:

Howdy!!! Glad you found us! Now, go to the FortFiend store and buy some stickers to fix your sign!! As far as your bus goes, me & Jen can fix that with the 726 cans of purple spray paint she's ordered from THD! :wiz:

Their philly cheesesteaks were awesome!! I wish they stilled served them. Now they serve primarily foo-foo healthy stuff! :wiz:

There were too many clouds blocking our view. :wave1: There are 2 more launches scheduled - one in April and one in June. My guess is that for the one in June, you won't be able to get within 75 miles of the cape because of everyone that will be going to see the "last" launch.
