Tonight we decided to go to the pool again and hang out. On the way back we got the Giddyap and Go. We also decided to go to the settlement store to get ice and bug itch spray. I think I will be a human bug bite by the end of the week. I was expecting to have to use quarters and use the ice machine, but the settlement actually had bags of 10 lbs ice like you would buy at the store. It was $2.59 which was only $.10 more then what I paid at 7-11 the other night. With my 10% discount(annual Pass), it made it even less. I know where I am going to get my ice the rest of the time. After getti

There seems to be some construction going on. With equipment and everything. When we decide to go to the pool later on or even to the dog park, I will take to take some pictures. The construction is located just past the dog park (coming from the 300/500 loop), just before the bridge. They put up a fence yesterday night and were painting the fence today. I saw some equipment behind it and some 2x4's. MagicBus - I am thinking of going on Friday to go see the vex-robotics. Will you be there at any certain time? Would love to meet you. jon

That is cool. I think I already saw some of the competitors enjoying Disney. jon

The campground seems empty. As of right now there are only about 4 campers in view of our site. The majority of them are empty. We decided to go to the pool after we rested and DD had a blast again at the spray ground. We came back and cooked burgers and dogs on the grill and are probably going to rest up for tomorrow. If you have any specific pictures or questions, feel free to ask and I will do my best to take the picture or answer the question. jon

You wanted some pictures. Here you go. I hope to get more taken. Site 347. Some Pictures of our set-up. The back of the set-up. From the back of the site. My Dd Getting her haircut. The after picture with her certificate. My DD driving the Golf Cart.

Saturday - Arrival Day/Set-up/DD First haircut Thank you for your patience on this what is not so live trip report. We have just been so busy. My wife, DD and I headed to the Magic Kingdom. We just missed the boat over and we had to wait till the next one. Her Appointment was at 3:30 and they wanted us to be there by 3:20. We were just boarding the next boat at 3:20, we were at the dock by 2:55. We get to the Magic Kingdom and my wife takes my DD over to the Barber Shop while I get bags checked and deal with the stroller. They were great. They got her right in and gave her a bunch of st

So far things are going great. The extra tents we set up are a life saver. More detailed report to hopefully come later this afternoon. Some pictures of the site and set up also. Jon

We finally arrived at 7:30 in the morning. We got checked in and are at site 347. It took close to 4 hours to unpack and get everything ready. If you are not good at backing up, do jot accept this site. Although it is close to the comfort station, took me about 15 minutes to back in. My golf cart from Steve showed up. I ended up plugging into the wrong power box. It sounds like they disabled all the tree boxes. However, when I showed up it was open and did not realize the other box was power. Anyone at the fort, please feel free to stop by. We will be heading to the Magic Kingdom in a n

Pre-trip Report This is our first big trip with the camper. We are leaving tonight and driving through the night. My wife, DD(18 Months) and I are packing up our Rpod 173T and heading down to Fort Wilderness Campground. We have taking a lot of weekend trips, but never a week long trip. We have tried multiple things to get the camper ready and to give us enough space so we are not on top of each other the whole time. We are also able to take our dogs, Daisy (Border Collie) and Scamp (Miniature Australian Shepard), with us for the first time to Disney. We will be getting a cart from Steve from G

Check-in April 9th Check-out April 17th

I was thinking of having my EVO rooted, but how does that effect things when they do software upgrades. Does it have to be re-rooted? I rooted my EVO works great. Just cant except updates or it will mess it up. One thing about Sprint and I do this all the time with my EVO. I activate the Mobile Hotspot when I need to use it. Then when I am done, I de-activate. The only drawback is that you have to call Sprint to activate and de-activate it. Once it is activated you can turn the option on and off on your phone. This means you only get charged about $1/day. I will be doing this when I le

I am wondering what the prices of the Hamburger and Hot Dog buns are. I am leaving on Friday and would be nice to be able to buy some of the stuff there whether then drive it. jon

I will start making sure we have everything on the 21st. We have our last flyball weekend before we leave on April 8th to Disney. We will be there for a full week. It will be my DW, DD(18 Months) and my 2 Dogs in a little Rpod. It will also be the longest trip (towing and length of stay) that we have taken. I hope to everything packed the week before except food and clothes. Everything else should already be in the camper. I will have to put my dates in the calendar. jon

I like to make sure mine is burnt all the way around, otherwise it is just a marshmallow. jon

As a swim coach and someone who has been around the pool all of his life, I would agree with most posters. Do not let a child go to the pool by themselves. Always go in pairs or a bigger group. A buddy system is great. It is very hard for me to go to pools and just relax. I am always looking around and about to yell at kids for doing stupid things, but I then remember it is not my job. However, I will not hesitate to let a lifeguard know about it. I have seen to many bad things happen at pools and beaches that letting your guard down for 1 second could mean life or death. A few questions

I agree that being flexible is the key. If you do decide to do the parks, definitely do not plan to be at the park the whole day without going back and relaxing/napping. When actually camping, make sure to bring sunscreen. On hot days, try to stay in the air conditioned as much as possible or the shade if A/C is not available. Make sure the babies are keeping hydrated. When the little ones start to run around, they will not remember to drink juice or milk. jon

Here are my two dogs. Scamp (Miniature Australian Shepard) is on the left, Daisy (Border Collie) is on the right. We do flyball with them. jon

I have stayed at the new Treehouses. If you have young kids, it may not be best place. However, if you are used to the internal transportation at Fort Wilderness then you will be used to the transportation at the treehouses. If you have any questions about the treehouses, please let me know. jon
