  1. Hi all, I have a question, we no longer have our RV so we won't be staying at the Fort anytime soon. We are, however, coming to Wdw at the end of October. We like to ride our bikes while there as it seems to help releave some of the sorenessin our legs. We brought our folding bikes with us in January to ride on the exercise trail at Pop where we were staying. It runs around hourglass lake between Pop and AoA. We were rudely screamed at by two CMs at AoA. When we asked at the desk at Pop why this was when we were on the exercise trail, we were informed that there is no biking allowed
  2. When we went in 09 my brother had his all in one utility tool on his belt, as he always does and he was made to remove it and rent a locker at the MK before they let him in. I mean they could see it right on his belt and none of us thought about it at all. So if you have a pocket knife of sorts and they see it, you cannot take it in the parks.
  3. I happen to prefer being behind the wheel when traveling. I am much more relaxed when driving than sitting in the passenger seat. This last trip to the Fort, however, DH hubby tortured me the whole trip by doing all of the driving. Now, he is a good driver. He has a commercial driver's license, drove bus. It's just I have the control issues and it is hard for me to relax in a passenger seat. One of the things that we looked for when purchasing our travel trailer was it had to have the torsion flex suspension or I wasn't buying it. We have a cargo trailer with that suspension and I love
  4. Not that particular site number but we were just at the fort Nov 8-12 and Nov 16 - 20. We were in the 200 loop for the first part of our trip and the vegetation between the sites was out of control. We were in site 216 and the bushes were on the side of the slide and we had enough room to put the steps of the travel trailer out and a foot of pavement from the steps before the vegetation took over. There was no way that we could have ever put out the awning. Good news is the second part of our trip they were out bright and early with the power pole saws trimming the vegetation around the 11
  5. Reporting back on our stay at Lake Magic RV- loved it! We had a premium site, pull through site. The site was completely paved with an extra wide spot for the picnic table. There was a nice amount of room between the sites. We arrived an hour before check-in time but we were promptly give our site. Although there is not a great deal of vegetation between the sites there are trees at the park around the playgrounds, pools, and throughout various places. We were in the 600 area and were pleased that we could actually put out our awning and we didn't have bushes scratching the side of the s
  6. Hi all, We're leaving this weekend to go to FWC. As this is the first time we have traveled from our GA home I pulled the directions from goggle maps and it says to stay right on I-95S through Jacksonville FL. We have not driven through Jaxville since 2011 and took the 295 loop as 95 had construction. So is there a fiend out there that has come through Jaxville recently and can offer an opinion on going straight thru verses the 295 loop. We are in a full pickup with a 29 foot V nose TT in tow. Thanks a bunch, pixiesteno
  7. Most of my kitchen for the RV was stocked from extras in my kitchen. There were a few purchases that had to happen; the small 4 cup coffee maker with the metal pot was essential. We had to buy sheets and a mattress pad for the bed as the RV is a short queen and we have a king in our house; however, the extra blankets from the house and comforters go on the bed. We had extra pillows so they went in the house. All of the bedding goes in space bags when we are not using it with bounce sheets to keep it fresh. Our towels are older ones from the house, but I did have to buy wash clothes so the
  8. filled up the car the other day here in Augusta and I paid 1.79 per gallon.
  9. Like others have said, not sure what route you are taking but the second rest area south of Jacksonville on I-95 allows for overnight stays and they have a separate area for RVs from where the semis are supposed to be.
  10. Travisma, The place is called Lake Magic RV resort. It is through the Encore group of campgrounds. If you go to their web site, rvonthego.com, you can look up the campground and see the features. I am not sure on the Pop up because it just asks for rv or rental on the reservation but there is contact information. It would be worth a call. They have three different campgrounds all in the Kissimmee/Clermont area. This ones address is Clermont but when you map it, it sits right at the intersection of 192 and 27. There is a Publics right across the street so we can do a restock on the groce
  11. I would go with getting back on to I95 just above Kings Dominion as it can be really hairy in further north in tow. We spent the last year towing either the RV or a cargo trailer to and from western NY to GA and having to get on to I95 in Fredericksburg was a b *&%h every time. Now we found that riding the right lane was easier than trying to stay in the center. I would make sure that I was moving over to the center lane by Exit 89 and then moved into the left lane at the first sign for I295 loop so that I could actually get on the 295. We found that the 295 loop will usually drop off
  12. Plans changed and I was able to book us in at a campground through RVonthego which is located at the intersection of Route 192 and Route 27 a mere 6-10 miles outside of WDW. This way we can still go to the parks without a lot of fuss or muss. Thanks to all for your suggestions.
  13. thanks for the suggestions. We are actually contemplating staying at Cypress Campground & RV resort, which would be about half way between FWC for our return trip on 11/16 and Mom's place. If anyone has feedback on this campground it would be appreciated.
  14. We have a couple day window between stays at the fort and we will be heading to the Avon Park area to see my mom. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good campground in the area?
