  1. Thanks, they left sometime between 3 and 6 am so we moved over. Kids are happy. This is our first time back since early this year and I was sad to find the wading pool at Meadows was gone. We're here some pretty busy times every year and I've never had trouble getting a lounger with the pool there, if it was a seating issue. :-(
  2. The check in options I see are random. Sometimes you get a lot of questions, sometimes none. We are rarely here alone but only occasionally does t ask my for travel partners, the rest of the time I have to fax a request. On a Premium site they will all be large enough for your rig comfortably, so request the pet loop. You can pick the fifth wheel if you want, they won't hassle you at check-in for that but they will relocate you for pets if you're put in a no-pet loop before arrival. 5ers typically need more room for the same size rig so that option just may get you a bigger site.
  3. Oohh, I love free stuff. I will look tomorrow but may all be full with the holiday weekend. I saw they were out of golf carts.
  4. 'Self-extending is apparently Disney's magical name for campers who should have checked out but just decided to stay an additional day/night in the site and there's nothing Disney can (will) do about it. Rant because it's been a long day and I am grumpy. We are here with a big group for the long weekend and did the fax and called multiple times and we're all supposed to be together. When the first member of the group checked in we were all together. We were the last check-in of the group by about 30 because we stopped to help a broken RV. Not in the same loop. The last site
  5. We started with a 34' Class C (Diesel). It got about 11 mpg. We have a young child (he was really young then), and a big issue we had with it was that his sleeping area was either over the cab or in the kitchen, where the outside door is. Once he went to bed, we were stuck tiptoeing around or hiding in the master bedroom. It was a nice unit (Gulfstream) but was not built for cold weather. It had the Chevy 5500 front, which I liked better then the Ford, because the Ford has a hump in the passenger footwell. It was nice to be able to get to the back of without going outside. It was really
  6. Hope this wasn't already posted and I missed it, but I just saw it today. From the Orlando paper: 36 memorable shots of Disney from the ’70s and ’80s http://photos.orlandoweekly.com/36-memorable-shots-of-disney-from-the-70s-and-80s/#1
  7. When we go for more then a weekend it's usually with a group and we put a request in, but since we're somewhat local when we just do a weekend, I'm not that picky about where we stay as long as we'll FIT. Except for tiny spot last time, I don't know that we've had a 'bad' spot, except the horn on the MK ferry ship all night in the premium pet loops makes me crazy. How do you usually put a site request in? Call, fax?
  8. I second, or third, this. We have two plus two ottomans. They're usually on sale at Camping World. Since we got ours and I had to start kicking our other group members out, they've started to proliferate through the group.
  9. I made a few Fort reservations when we had a Class A using those specs, but by the time we showed up last month we had traded it for a larger 5th wheel TH and were making our first trip with it. We were the only ones at the gate checking in, so the CM was nice enough to pull out her site binder to make sure we had a large spot with not a difficult back-in as we'd always been there with Class A or Cs before, and I had done the online check-in with the Class A. Both RVs are the same length but the 5er also has the giganto-truck that needs to be parked, plus the golf cart. I pulled out my tru
  10. When you arrive you'll pull up to an open booth and they'll check you in right in the vehicle. Do the Online Check-in on Disney's site now, and when you arrive they'll have all of your paperwork ready to go, it just takes a few minutes. Regular check-in is 1pm, so if you're arriving at 7am your spot may not be ready, there is a parking lot inside the gate to the right where I *think* they will have you park until your spot is ready. We're pretty new FtW visitors so some of the veterans on here will have to chime in. The one thing we did have a problem with on our first visit to FtW is gett
  11. This is a little late since your original post but still before your trip date so I'm going to offer some info. We were just there last weekend in 843 and didn't see any signs of construction in that loop. Our spot was very wide and while we didn't have a car with us, we backed it all the way in and there was a ton of room in front of the cab before the road that could have fit a vehicle (We have a 34' Class C with a super-wide slide out). It was a good spot, didn't really feel like we had neighbors on the picnic-table side because of a bend in the road, and behind it was a large empty woo
