Avatab.... Steve

Ditto.

Ha! I'd be in favor of all of that! Although sitting thru Stitch all day would qualify as Cruel and Unusual Punishment....

Me three....

Our son loved "A Camping Spree with Mr. Magee", which we got a year or two ago after reading this post, thanks Beckers! We did have to let him know that our camper won't roll away though I just ordered "Goodnight Campsite" too, thanks for the link!

Anything that reduces the number of buses is a good thing IMHO. Buses are for cities, not so much for Walt Disney World. My guess is that it is all about the bean-counters, not the "guest experience" but maybe this is one of those times when the two are the same. And it's sad when they have to plan a new ride around the Lowest Common Denominator and treat guests as though they are ALL walking liabilities. How about treating people like adults and when those few non-adults misbehave, punish them severely and publicly as a deterrent to other non-adults....

Clearly they are becoming more interested in Convention business, (isn't that what Coronado Springs was for to begin with?) so I can see a "Business Class" level of resort rooms. It works for the Airlines. Taking that a step further, perhaps they are also thinking a "Business Class" DVC might be worth pursuing... If they've saturated the family market for DVC's, a new DVC level pitched to businesses and corporations might be in the works. Kind of like the old Magic Kingdom Club that businesses could buy into for their employees to use, maybe they think DVC rooms could be used as

Thanks. Found the website, looks like it would be worth trying out, right off of I-95. http://basslakecampground.net/

Same here, I have always felt safe there, even when arriving late at night. There always seems to be a security truck driving around the grounds and the front gate requires a key card to use the vehicle gate and the pedestrian gate. And when you stay at the CG you can use the indoor pool, hot tub, etc at the motel. :-) The scenery does include a giant neon sombrero over the trees....... But even with all that Neon so close, the CG has a ton of trees and is screened from the lights and sounds from the rest of SOB and the highway. It really is a nice quiet and cheap place to overnit

Exactly. Got one of the nice "Patty-O-Rooms" for the last MH and used it maybe 2 or 3 times. It was very nice when it was up, it had roll up panels to use as a screenhouse or an add-a-room, but as Derek says, it's a pain to put up and take down and only worth it if you will be staying for several days. It also took up storage room as well in two storage tubs. We mostly just use a Coleman Geosport over the picnic table, but I agree that an Easy-up with screens would also be nice and far easier.

Exactly why I like staying there. Clean, quiet, and safe. And inexpensive too. :-) For a long time I knew they had a Campground but never took the trouble to look at it, after all it's SOB... it's probably loud, dirty, and not somewhere you would want to stay after dark right? Wrong. Have stayed many times since then and we are always pleased. The bathrooms and showers are older and could use an update, but they are always clean and well stocked with soap and sometimes even shampoo (they have the motel cleaning staff take care of the CG too)

We have also used South of the Border and New Green Acres several times each and liked both. Nice and clean and quiet and right off the highway. And they both have after hours check-in kiosks, which is very handy when looking for just a quick overnight. I haven't heard of Bass Lake though, where is that?

And unless I missed it, there was no mention of Spaceship Earth itself either. I believe SE is the last "unmolested" ride from the "Original Vision" of Future World. I hope they leave it as is.

TCD, I was just about to say the same thing... LOL But I did wade thru it and it had some very good points. I liked this quote: "...We know that Chapek told his team to “dream big” when thinking of ideas. We know he’s promised the changes will make the park “more Disney, timeless, relevant, family-friendly” while also keeping the original vision alive...." Of course that all depends on whose version of the "original vision" he believes in! Epcot used to be an inspiring portrayal of who we are and where we could go: "If We Can Dream It, We Can Do It!" And the most

That's why they call it: "Security Theater" So much of it is for show just so the Politicians can say they are doing "something". Of course the truth is that there are much more effective screening processes, but they have been deemed politically incorrect...

I agree, of course they know. The sad part is that it would take so little on Disney's part to fix this (or most of it anyway) Require groups over a certain number to either use a Group Area, or if they need hookups then rent an ENTIRE loop. (Which I know Disney allows some groups to do already) Of course that would mean Disney might miss out on renting any unused sites, but if the group really wants to stay at the Fort they can rent all of the sites and Disney would make the same amount anyway. The other thing Disney could (and should) do is even simpler: Make it clear th

In all our trips, we've never been put next to a large group, so your chances are good that it won't be a problem. And as mentioned above you can always ask for another site/loop if there is a problem. The worst issue for us has been when there is a large group on the other side of the loop and there are double-parked cars and trucks sticking out into the road. A couple of times I thought for sure we were going to swap paint with some of them..... One trip we were in the back of the 900 loop and another large Youth group (pretty sure it was another Church group, what is it with thes

I'd like to see them use that space for something truly unique. Something like an underwater adventure where you board a submarine and look out of portholes into a fantastic world under the sea. Hopefully Disney will read this and realize what a hit such a ride would be....

They should try something different that's for sure. The current method seems to be a free-for-all once you reach a certain number of sites (read: dollar amount...) then the rules no longer apply to your group and you can inflict whatever misery you want on your fellow campers There are dedicated Group Areas and large groups do use them, but there are plenty of groups that come back year after year and are placed in regular loops along with unsuspecting families that end up having to put up with the groups antics regardless of how many complain. Then Disney allows them to come back agai

At Walmart today we saw a different version of CAMP called FISHING CAMP. It looked like it was played the same way. https://www.amazon.com/Education-Outdoors-EOFC1-Fishing-Board/dp/B007BADKHC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1484619281&sr=8-1&keywords=fishing+camp+game

HA! In other words, you're in a marriage..... I wonder if they might have been taking it to be re-painted, re-stickered, etc. The trailers for Cars3 show Lightning with a different look in the new movie. My son has a ton of Lightning McQueen toys, pajamas, bedsheets, etc. We have watched Cars MANY times (I think we watched Cars 2 twice...LOL!) Does anyone agree with us that instead of Avatar Land they should be building a WDW version of Cars Land? Ka-Chow!

Yes, you are right the risk is the same as far as the unknown power source. This is one of those threads where everyone is right, just on different points In an ideal world, you would always plug into a perfectly wired and maintained power pedestal and you would only use the receptacle that matches the plug your RV came from the factory with. In the less than ideal world sometimes we all have to use dogbones to make things work. I use two at home to step down from 50 to 30, and then 30 to 20 amps since that's all I have access to. When I do that, I am extra careful not to run

I think one thing we can all agree on is that the safety of any circuit depends on a good installation. Most of us have camped somewhere that had electrical problems due to mis-wired pedestals. Keith is correct that the breaker will do it's job, but only if the wiring is done correctly and the correct wire and breaker itself is used. Many CG owners try to save money by skimping on materials and/or doing the wiring themselves. Not just CG's either, I worked with our Fire Investigators for several years and I was amazed at some of the so-called "Professional" installations at homes an

Can't help with Colorado Springs, but have been to Moab a couple of times to MtnBike. Both times stayed at the BLM campsites right on the river just North of Town. They are first come-first served (at least when I was there, that may have changed), they have tables, fire rings and dry toilets. Very basic, but inexpensive and great views. There are several CGs in Moab and most all of them offer hot showers and dump station use for a fee if you are not staying there. We used the KOA just South of Town for showers and it appeared to be a nice clean place to stay. Be aware that Moa

You're doing all the right things Gwen, please let us know what the NRA rep has to say. I wouldn't be surprised if the County is already under pressure from them to clean up their act. Can you imagine if there were this many hoops to jump through to get a drivers license? And cars are arguably FAR more dangerous than a gun. Ideally, just like a drivers license, you should be able to get a "Learners Permit" right away. It would have an expiration date of say 6 months. If you fail to pass a test and get your permanent License to Carry then the Learners Permit would expire and you would

My guess is that Disney is happy that this is happening, and maybe even encouraging it behind the scenes. They have a lot of investment in the new Disney Springs that have to be recouped. If Crossroads does go away, hopefully many workers will get jobs at DS. Even better would be if another retail complex would arise in that same general area of 535 and 4. IIRC there is another Commercial park with stores and restaurants that is just south of that interchange, but so much traffic goes the other way into Disney that many never see it.
