Just announced, 12/20 is the return date

I thought I could add at least a hatch on the passenger side, but I would have to mess around with the Alde hoses, so I passed on that idea. All the modern conveniences sure eat up a lot of the storage spaces.

We don't have those hatches. My power and hose go in a metal bin on the tongue that's just behind the jack and in front of the plastic tub. I have the T@B power cord and a 50 foot extension in there along with other assorted items.

May be a moot point now, and maybe why they stopped the photoshopping Magic Kingdom Stops Coasters When Guests Remove Masks If there is a company that has taken health and safety measures seriously this pandemic, it is most definitely Disney. Having spent a large portion of the pandemic in Florida, I can easily say there is not another place I felt safer than Walt Disney World. One main reason of this is because Disney’s mask policy is like no other. We recently reported and were on the scene at Magic Kingdom when Disney halted the Carousel of Progress attraction midway t

Well I know you don't fit all of that in your T@B, so that Sport Trac must be pretty full!

From what I had read previously on various sites, the Fort was shut down completely in the early stages of the pandemic and everyone had to vacate the premise. The lack of the regulars and their decorations may be due to a variety of issues. Travel bans Not thinking the restricted policies/lack of being able to enjoy all the past perks are worth the $$$ Health issues @ home Not wanting to take the risk of getting sick due to FL's lack of taking the pandemic seriously We were in the 2000 loop for Halloween and the Fort seemed to be pretty busy. Did miss the ca

On 11/8 djsamuel mentioned that 5G was getting installed around the Fort. They may need to adjust the WI FI equipment. I would notify the front desk that there are problems so they can let the installers know.

Mask wearing isn't just to protect the wearer, it's to protect everyone around you also. Just like you can't tell if someone has a disability by looking at them, you don't know if the person next to you that you breath on while not wearing mask has a compromised immune system. Someone posted on a FB page, the Fort is being treated like the rest of the Disney Resorts (whether we think it makes sense or not). Anytime you leave your room (site) and go into the public areas, you have to mask up except for certain circumstances that are spelled out to you when you book, arrive, and s

I love FL weather (most of the time) but as I get older the heat is getting harder to handle. I'm looking forward to the cooler/lower humidity weather coming this week.

Smart thinking, there could be a light up board next to the repaired Yeti saying this fella is sponsored by Yeti Coolers! Your photo pass could have a Yeti Cooler sitting next to you with a link to their website and a special AK discount! And all of the ride cars could have a Yeti sponsorship decal on them like NASCAR.

After announcing a major multiyear overhaul of Epcot at last year’s D23 Expo, this year’s major speed bumps have led to adjustments to the ambitious plans. Now, many fans speculate that all or some of those projects are canceled. During a virtual D23 event earlier this month, Disney confirmed that at least some of the plans were still in the works, but other projects were conspicuo

They have more slide out sq. footage than the regular floor!

Wait, you need a specific fire pit? Last time we were in the 1500 loop over a year ago, one site had a mound of wood piled up in the middle of the site with flames about 10 feet tall.

Time to get a rubber mallet for your take along tool box! Sounds like a dirty/burnt spot on the solenoid contacts, or the motors brushes were stuck or sitting on a bad spot on the armatures commutator. The crescent wrench put everything back into order! When you get home if there are openings in the motor you might want to hit them with some compressed air to clean everything out.

Police officers eventually arrived and restrained the suspect, who was later taken to a hospital in Celebration. The sheriff’s report described Arvid as being “in a state of excited delirium and unexpected strength.” Arvid reportedly showed signs of alcohol and drug use, along with heatstroke, according to an emergency room doctor. He reportedly claimed that he took LSD, but said he couldn’t remember anything about the incident in the park. He pleaded not guilty to the battery charge. In a statement obtained by the Orlando Sentinel, a spokesperson for Disney World said, “We do not to

Your Friday morning stroll just got upgraded. The all-new walkway (and swing-arm bridge) connecting Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and the Magic Kingdom has officially opened to guests! The walkway is fully set up with fences along the edges, and leads up to the new Magic Kingdom Resort Dock, where guests pass through security screening before entering the park.

Additionally, we will set specific Park Hopper hours during which this option will be available. Park Hopper hours will start at 2 p.m. each day and end at the park’s scheduled close time. Guests will soon be able to check DisneyWorld.com/ParkHours and the My Disney Experience app for the most up-to-date Park Hopper hours, as they could start earlier at a later date, depending on the day and park.

The way this year is going, maybe we need a new topic category... Bizarre Disney happenings... According to a report from the Orlando Sentinel, a man from Pompano Beach was arrested and charged with battery of a Disney security Cast Member. The man tackled a Disney security Cast Member in DinoLand USA at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and reportedly put the Cast Member in a headlock. Guests in the area noticed what was going on and were able to pull the man off of the Cast Member and hold him until law enforcement arrived. The man later reportedly told a nurse at an area hospita

Disney Parks Chief Shows First Looks Inside New Attractions Disney Parks, Experience and Products Chairman Josh D'Amaro kicked off the IAAPA Expo Virtual Education Conference with a keynote address that was both optimistic and defiant, while also providing an update on new Disney attractions around the world. D'Amaro spoke from the Disneyland Resort in his pre-recorded presentation, giving fans a look at the upcoming Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure, among other sites You can see the recently installed Quinjet over D'Amaro's shoulder in the screen

“I’m confident that brighter days are ahead of us,” wrote Disney Parks, Experiences and Products Chairman Josh D’Amaro on Monday. The Disney Parks Chairman gave a keynote speech during the IAAPA virtual expo this morning. Now, he’s taken to his personal social media to share his hopes for the future of The Walt Disney Company — and to challenge the theme park industry to dream big and move forward. “This has been a year of unprecedented moments, disruptive forces, and new challenges,” D’Amaro wrote in a post published to his LinkedIn. “At the start of 2020, I could never have imagine

That would require some thought and initiative! And since they are using specific pamphlets printed for the Fort, all they would have to do is modify the wording. It's not like they are using a generic one from another resort.

Lots of FB posts recently about how crowded the parks have been. What people don't realize, is that the % of people allowed in seems to be based on their max (or close to)capacity and not the average daily attendance. Disney CEO Bob Chapek has confirmed that the Walt Disney World theme parks are currently operating at 35% capacity, increased from 25%. This was made possible due to innovations in attraction operations while maintaining health and safety guidelines. Examples of this include the installation of plexiglass dividers at most attractions, including Star Wars:

They only reason I can think of them enforcing the cart/bike/jogging masks, is to make it simpler on the CMs. The rule as it stands, is the only time masks aren't needed is on your site or unless you are on the pool deck. Human nature and a lot of entitled Disney goers are always looking for loopholes and stretching the rules. So it will go from no masks on carts to no masks walking up stairs to .... you get the picture. People tried to skirt the early mask rules about eating/drinking at Disney Springs and the parks and that ended up with stricter rules/enforcement. A
