I voted Halloween, but I think we should all change our votes. It'll get too popular if people start to realize they're missing something. Love Halloween at the Fort. This will be our 3rd Halloween at WDW. First was OS and the last at the Fort. As you can tell by my countdown..... little over 8 months to go. Already started the planning and site layout. It's been a couple of years.

Another "Newbie"

Srsly... did you really?? :banana: no not me. I was responding to Lisa's response. No need for the lime green anymore...leave on Larry's step. -
I'll have to look. Right now we use 2 tents. Boys in one, girls in the other, but I would prefer we were in the same tent. There are 7 of us so may not really be possible. I have come close to getting the one thru K-Mart NWT Olympic Cottage http://www.kmart.com/shc/s/p_10151_10104_089W022638110001P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1 Would love input if anyone has any. Like the one with the front screen room too. Great place to remove shoes. Going to do a search for the Hi-Tek now. Thanks

Finally Aboard
Momoffive aka Loretta replied to GhostHost5's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
I did it! I brought him over! He is so much quicker than I am with the jokes and such! I have been telling him for years he should follow along. I, like I said before, have been more of a lurker on the other board. Loved the community loved the humor. I always wished I could have perticipated more but again too slow. Now he will know first hand why I am laughing and not asking me later why. mo5 -
Children with autism

My most recent "empty" bottle was a wonderful bottle of Salem Fork Blush! YUM! The one I couldn't understand, she had such a hard time with the sock seem but would not wear open toe sandals. The sandal had to have a covered toe? All pants have to have elastic in the back or adjustable waist because if there is a gap she can't wear it. At least the tag thing seems to be more prevalent because a lot of children?s clothes have the stamped tag now. How about the, I?ll only eat things that are white or variations of white, or I won't eat anything with lumps, and if you make me.... I?ll puke! -
Children with autism

For the most part, her symptoms now days are mostly auditory. Loud noises and other sounds really get to her. She's extremely sensitive. There are other symptoms which may or may not be related...like extreme irritability! >:D Of course, that could just be her personality. When she was younger, say up through age 5, she has some pretty serious issues with sensitivity to touch. Strange things like cotton towels would freak her out. She DID NOT like being held, even as a baby. She prefered to be fed strapped into a bouncer than held. We got her both occupational and speach therap -
Children with autism

Only recently we had 3 of our five tested and yes all 3 were diagnosed with ADHD. It was the denial for a long time and a strong desire not to medicate our kids. For two of them anyway it is what they needed. My children were born very early so we knew they were at risk. I know how you feel. I think the ADHD is the more challenging of their issues, at times, but we are managing. I hate feeling like a pharmacy in the morning but it makes a huge difference if they miss. My daughter actually thanked me and said she feels like she is all put together now. Oh what a life we all lead.... -
FW - Pop-Up Loops.
Momoffive aka Loretta replied to WhitShores's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
Something I can answer.... almost We have stayed in both. First time in 2000. Our pop up broke down in SC on the way. After 1 night of all 7 of us in one large tent I pulled the white flag and went to Wally World for a second tent. Any tent, the largest they had. Still using the 2 tents to this day. We had plenty of room for the 2 tents and a screen room and then some in our site 2051. Next stay we requested the 1500 loop. Much smaller, 1519, but we fit. We felt a little more private on the 1500 loop, more vegetation at that time. The kids had the tetherball right across from us. -

I have 5 blessings. 4 of my 5 are special needs of one form or another. Both of my boys are on the spectrum, one much worse than the other and my oldest daughter is undiagnosed but some milder signs are there. She has enough to deal with, she has a progressive hearing loss. I love camping with her the most. Not that I don't with the others, but something about being out in nature and her being able to hear things she may not hear at home but may also never hear again. Her favorite thing to do while camping is bird watching. She can't hear all the birds but she loves to look every one -

Love Purple! To see cupcake's face when he walked up to the steps of his camper with a pile of lime green thongs. -
Looking forward to not being a Lurker anymore! My husband has actually been drawn into the 'DRAMA" of late and has been quite amused. He is so much more snarky and quick witted than I am. He actually asked what the "fiends" were up to today? I'll draw him in yet. He is just shy at first, lol. The message board is great Jen and Chris! Great Job!!
