Not that she would be a self - extender, as I'm sure she is fully reserved. But, isn't there a woman who lives at the Fort full time? 

Yes there is, Roberta.  She's a friend of mine.

I thought the price was outrageous until I saw their price for hush puppies was the same.

Great update!  Yes, you were smart to give each boy his own binoculars.

Didn't TCD report on buying some of these a year or two ago?

Great news!  I really didn't like those handle-less mugs.

Thanks Gwen!  I had the entree version of the Cobb Salad.  I'd never tried it there before.  I enjoyed it although I'm not sure I'd order it again.  That said, it sure was filling for a salad!

The cobb salad is good.  We had it twice at the Lounge this year.  Last year for my birthday I had the lamb chops (super yummy!), and David had the wagyu beef burger (also good).  I was hoping you could give me more suggestions for entrees.

I hate it.  But, I am clearly in the minority.  Thankfully, it is brief and easy to avoid.

TCD

I'm in the minority with you.  I hate it too.

Glad you got to see some beautiful trees.  We were on the Blue Ridge Parkway a few weeks ago, and the color there wasn't good at all.

Great trip report, Mo!  Thanks for sharing your experience with us. One question:  what did you eat at the Brown Derby?

Yes, you can request three specific sites.  Chances are they won't be available Thanksgiving week, but you can always try.

I agree!  It's awesome!

We've checked in as early as 6:30 am and have been able to go to our site as early as 8:30 am.  Enjoy your stay!

I'm in.  Great start!  We haven't been to the Gatlinburg area for years, so I'm really looking forward to your photos.

Sorry.  How could I forget that?

Wow... this is some great information!! :)

Yes, it is!  I had no idea the Fort opened on my birthday (and NaCole's little man's too).

This sounds like such an awesome trip!

We have all three vehicles full, so we should be able to ride out any shortages too.  

Great pictures, Jen!  Who won?

Super Geek just received this message when he was picking up this AWESOMESAUCE minetrain trick or treat bucket (shown below).  (They also took down what site number you were at for the buckets so you couldn't get more than how many kids were at your site either.)

From the Bike Barn:  They are checking magic bands to see if you are a registered guest this year in order to trick or treat.  If you are not a registered guest, the Fort Rangers will not let you enter to get candy from the campers.

 

That is good news!

I'm in and looking forward to it!  Great start!

Yes, if you already had an annual pass, you got a gift card

Yep, I got one of those.  If I remember correctly, a $75 gift card.

Couldn't find a more recent thread so adding this here...

Frozen Sing-a-long is a hoot!  I still haven't seen the movie (although I know a lot of the music) but the show itself was super fun.  Six Bits was in the cast as one of the historians (narrators) and they were just HI-larious.  Totally played off the audience and there were far more jokes for the adults than the kids.

Go see it. Even if you don't have kids.  :)

I totally agree!  I did see the movie and didn't like it.  I am definitely not a Frozen fan.  But I loved the sing-along!  We didn't have Six Bits in our cast, but it was still so funny!

We saw it a while back and enjoyed it also. Just didn't like getting snow (foam) on my camera.  Covered it as soon as I realized what was happening.

I didn't see any foamy snow last month.  Just lots of paper snowflakes.  Maybe that's because we were in the front row in the disability area. 

Really enjoying your pictures!

No clue.
