Busy day at the Outpost
GAFortFans..Shawn replied to Grumpy and Grandma's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
We are on 1436 till Monday. It is definitely crowded! Parks are packed. Almost got into a fist fight at MK when some crazed parents and grandparents put their hands on my kids at electrical parade but that's another whole thread. -
You all have listed some of the same reaons we have. But there is a nostalgia about the fort, the way it feels when you pull in and the guard says welcome home, the kids so excited to get to the trading post, all the memories that have been made there at the fort come rushing back, there's nothing like it. For us it's the only place to stay at Disney!

We just got back yesterday from 10 days at the Fort and already counting down the days till our November return! We have a 5th wheel and a Dodge Ram 3500 Dually crew cab currently and considering upgrading to a motorhome. The three kids 13,9,6 start to get a little squirrelly after 7-8 hours in the back seat and I think some room to breathe may help. To all fiend motorhome owners what are good brands, sizes, what to look for in a used coach. Just starting to look around and I see the ford v10 chassis is a popular setup for the price range that I am looking at, although I would like a diesel.

We have been 4 times to the fort and have not had a golf cart any of those trips. We will have a cart for our upcoming Sept 12-21 trip for the first time. We have 3 children and I am sure they will love the cart and it will make some things easier but it is doable without a cart.

I've lost 65 lbs to date
GAFortFans..Shawn replied to FortWildernessLoopy's topic in Dining Reviews and Information
Way to go! I have lost 150lbs and it was just making up my mind to change my eating habits and lifestyle. I now run every other day sometimes every day. Road bike a lot and just try to be more active. I used my fitness pal in the beginning. Lots of water and no soft drinks. It's as much mental as physical when losing weight. Set small realistic goals and meet them and then set another. I had a close call with what I thought was a heart attack and it made me get busy. 3 kids need me around for a while, I hope! Keep up the good work, keep us updated! -

Let's Build A Mickey Rope Light

We used multicolored lights on our Mickey head. Got them at lowes. That Minnie head is in the 1700 loop checked it out myself cause the kids want a Minnie too! -
The "Dopey" kiss
GAFortFans..Shawn replied to GAFortFans..Shawn's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
Thanks for all the kind words! These were not his first set of lip prints. He wanted to "kiss the princesses like the princes do" Belle was a little surprised when he made his move! -
The "Dopey" kiss
GAFortFans..Shawn replied to GAFortFans..Shawn's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
She was definitely in character! -
So we were at Epcot this past Sunday and the kids decided they want to try and meet with as many characters as they could. The oldest DD13 was getting selfies with each character, middle DD9 getting autographs, and youngest DS6 ended up getting the Dopey kiss from Snow White! We were about 20 minutes early for her arrival and were first in line, she walks over takes the kids by the hands and skips over to the wishing well. She takes pics, signs autograph, DD13 takes selfie, Snow White asks if that is a magic mirror. As we are walking off she says goodbyes and then stops Noah DD6 and proceeds

Help Picking a Loop for April 15
GAFortFans..Shawn replied to Jeff & Claudia's topic in Fort Wilderness Loops Information
We just stayed in 1700 loop last week 25-30 and really liked the space around the sites. Definitely not right on top of your neighbors. We don't usually rent a golf cart so we try to get a premium loop1400 so we can bike to everything. I did however call tee time yesterday and booked a cart for our September trip. -

Trippin the breaker!
GAFortFans..Shawn replied to GAFortFans..Shawn's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
Guy next to me had the adapter I am running on the 50 right now. The breaker is hot I am guessing it's weak. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk -
We are at site 1713, still setting up and have tripped the breaker on the post twice. Only had the main things running AC, fridge, and hot water heater. I have everything off now and waiting on engineering to come check it out.
