Funds were misappropriated for meth.

I heard a fatty came down and created such a tidal wave in the landing pool that three people were crushed/killed. Okay, I made that up. And at 245 and 6 foot 4, had I trudged up a bunch of steps when they could have weighed me at the bottom, the weight coming down the slide on that run would be my weight plus the staff person that had to give me the bad news.

If you pick a slow night, and a less popular showing time, I'm told you can pay for Cat 3 and you get moved up to Cat 2 or even 1 if it's really slow. Ticket window ladies won't mention this and will still push the expensive ones at you, but if you are going to be around on a Tuesday or something like that it's something to think about.

Seems to me a longer nap could be had in Carousel of Progress. If'n you had earplugs. Or the Hall of Presidents. Or perhaps on the upper deck of the Paddlewheeler. The possibilities are endless.

As of today it looks like construction is complete. And the gate is still closed and locked.

I suspect that was the original road when the landing strip was in use.

When we got back tonight I went down and looked, and can't quite tell if more was thrown tonight. I'll be around most of the day tomorrow and will hopefully get more cast offs. It would be great to slice this in chunks large enough to attach a spike to for hanging on a wall. More later...

Okay, here is the first haul. http://postimg.org/image/u4c7ixcdr/ This is what they are taking it from, http://postimg.org/image/uopg3zu49/

Lou, I think you have hit the nail (spike) on the head. I can't be there today at 1400 ish to grab more, but I can tomorrow. I'd love to get you as much wood as you think might be needed for a give away. These chunks would slice nicely into slabs to display the spike on. I left my table saw at home though. Would you be interested in picking up a stash of it from my campsite and facilitating the slicing? I am keeping the long ones for now (if I don't figure out something cool, I can always slice them at home and deliver them to the deliverer down here) but all the rest are short pieces a

As outlined in TCD's thread about the construction permits, work is continuing on the BBQ area. We got in today and I picked up my Kenny cart and took a quick tour. Found they were replacing roofs on some backstage buildings directly behind the pavilion between there and the bathroom. There is a new roof going on the old River Country Ticket booth too. They were also replacing many of the rotted timbers and supports. When I was there they were loading up the old wood onto a truck. I asked what they were doing with it all and they said the were going to throw it away. Soooo...... I h

So, will access be closed off even after construction? I kind of liked walking along the old swamp trail. I'm sure I saw Uri out there once.

It's a movement!

When zat going to again?

Okay, now I'm confused. The picture is taken pointing at the intersection, and beyond that is where the new DVC site is going to be, right? If that is the one I'm thinking of, I understand the three way moniker because there are three roads that come together (or one road with a T intersection). Where does the fourth way come into play with the addition of a stop sign? Are we counting the cart path as part of the intersection?

Oh, I see. My mother lives right near the bridge to Sanibel. We have a place on San Carlos with a view of the bridge this year. We like to rent a boat and go up to Cabbage Key, or down to Hickory and go shelling. Great fun, great area.

Oh, I forgot to add, you mentioned recommending Captiva. Is there a campground up on Captiva?

The Red Coconut was mentioned above, and it's the only one I know if in the Fort Myers Beach area that is RIGHT on the water. My grandfather used to spend his winters there before he died. Here is the link to their website. http://www.redcoconut.com/ There are also many reviews on trip advisor too. Depends on how long he is going to stay and the dates, but normally when we go to Fort Myers Beach every year we just get a vacation rental that has room to park the RV. Years past we have paid about 900 for the week, and had a one bedroom apartment in a house with a pool, a dock right a ca

Hi Grumpy! Lou and I came over and visited you in my golf cart last year about this time. My only experience from DVC is the BLT, and you can't even get on the property without a key, or using the methods of a certain russian uncle. So my opinion may be an uninformed one. Even with full access, I can't fathom that parking lot. I am thinking they used their planning and logic tools for this idea like they did with the other developments. Who cares if there is another tower next to the contemporary or another resort? Nobody, cause it looks normal. Shoehorning that monstrosity into the

I've read through this whole thread and have a few thoughts. Number one, is this thread is EXACTLY why I like this place. Great details, great discussion, great people bringing out the details. Number two, yes this will be a wonderful new resort. If you are staying there, which I won't be able to afford. So yes the pictures are great, and it will have cool bars and pools and restaurants, all of which we will not be able to enjoy. Number three, then they put this wonderful new resort that we can look at but not touch, right smack in the middle of our living room. WTH? Those building

We invariably go in January or Febuary. Now keep in mind we are from Minnesota, so we think anything over 32 is warm. But we've enjoyed it very much. The crowds aren't bad, and if you did FP, there was virtually no waiting. Don't know how the new system is working, but we really enjoy going during these times.

A moose once bit my sister?

I did notice a bunch of new "No Carts" signs in that area. More than usual.

How long are you going to be at the Fort? If it's a week or more for sure get a golf cart. I recommend Kenny at Tee Time golf carts (search this site for opinions). You are gonna have a blast.

I have the exact same "waterslide" reading! Glad it isn't just me!

I saw their prices for 6 and 8 seat carts and was very tempted. But I really owed kenny at Tee Time carts some business for when he previously helped me with my personal cart and didn't charge me.
