Expedition Everest
ftwildernessguy replied to BRDof3...Rob's topic in WDW and Disney Park Discussions
I was lucky enough to ride a few times when not only the eagle was flying, but the Yeti actually moved - not Disco Yeti like now! -
EPCOT- for the kids
ftwildernessguy replied to BRDof3...Rob's topic in WDW and Disney Park Discussions
My son would kill me if I didn't mention his company's attraction, The Sum of All Thrills. It's at innoventions, sponsored by Raytheon, and you design one of three types of courses, then get on a motion simulator and ride what you designed. The motion simulators are more open air than the ones at Disneyquest, and are mounted on the robotic arms many auto manufacturers use. It's more for older kids, but I have seen a number of little kids that liked it, too. -
EPCOT- for the kids
ftwildernessguy replied to BRDof3...Rob's topic in WDW and Disney Park Discussions
When my kids were young, Epcot was their favorite park. If Kim Possible adventure had been there at that time, we never would have gotten them to leave. -
Bobby says if you bring your camper, you better leave it in the lot. He will make a ton more money building a hotel and selling DVC memberships to wannabes who will buy into a FW DVC resort and then call themselves "campers." Plus, he says he won't waste any more lakefront property on trailer trash.

1600 & 1700 loops
ftwildernessguy replied to Roller ... aka Ed's topic in Fort Wilderness Loops Information
I agree with Deb. You can't really go wrong with 1600,1700 or 1800. 1900 was not so great when we were there - each campsite was like a little penninsula - surrounded by water on three sides. We like the 1800 loop - sites seem larger and it's a little more secluded than the 1600 or 1700. -
Dole Whips

I think Kim should delete that picture. -
Flamingo Coonskin Cap
ftwildernessguy replied to Judy in Texas's topic in Crafting: Camping and beyond
Probably doesn't look the same but I bet it's unique! I think I'll try one with a clean sock. -
Flamingo Coonskin Cap
ftwildernessguy replied to Judy in Texas's topic in Crafting: Camping and beyond
This seemed kind of involved to me, so I made one with an old sock and a glue gun. Doesn't quite look the same, though. -
I remember seeing pics of some really nice kitchen cabinets you did, John.

That is a pretty cool looking lamp. Maybe I'll show the wife and she will motivate me.

I used to do a fair amount of woodworking before we moved into this house. We moved here 16 years ago and my woodshop still isn't set up, other than my radial arm saw and bandsaw which I needed for some remodelling projects. My dad was really into it. After he died, I brought home a lot of his stuff from his shop, but it is still in boxes in mine. Maybe in 6 years when I plan on semi-retiring I will get around to it. My son is trying to get me interested in helping him build a bar. So far, just in the planning stages.

Finally - accessible travel trailers
ftwildernessguy replied to ftwildernessguy's topic in Camping with DisAbilities
The interiors look HUGE! I would buy one of the things for the big bathroom alone, and I don't need it. -
I saw a piece in the latest Trailer Life about this company. Their link was incorrect, but I have located the correct one. I can't believe that with all of the physically disabled people who like to camp there are, a company hasn't tapped into this market yet. Here you go, kids: http://www.harborview.mobilitycamper.com/

How do you get from...
ftwildernessguy replied to disney92's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
Walk to truck. Truck to anyplace. -
Looking for old fiends
ftwildernessguy replied to freshlybarked's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
Oops - if you haven't been banned yet, you will be soon. There be a mole among us, matey. -
I fell compelled to add FWGuy's variation, which is cut the strawberry daiquiri mix down to 1/4 cup. 1 cup was just too sweet for me, and it also makes the recipe easier to remember.

"So, where are you folks going today? It's a little cool and rainy now, but it should clear up and get warmer this afternoon." That was my best Ken imitation.

Lets talk about Beer at Disney
ftwildernessguy replied to Just Whipperwhirl's topic in Dining Reviews and Information
They most always serve a seasonal beer in Germany, both inside and out. You are seriously missing out if you don't try whatever it is. I also like Kirin beer over in Japan. It's a light lager, but still very tastey, and there's a nice, secluded outdoor area to enjoy it in. I never have any of the beers I can buy locally. -
3000 Loop
ftwildernessguy replied to Millermouseketeers MaryAnn's topic in Fort Wilderness Loops Information
Do we send you the deposit check? or do you require full payment? :dance: Cash only. I don't trust anyone since that nice lawyer from Nigeria contacted me about my long lost uncle's untimely demise in a traffic accident, leaving me, his only heir, his entire fortune. I am still waiting for that deposit to go through. And where all the money went that was in my account, I'll never know.
