I'm in.

You can take the Beachline/528 into Canaveral or 192 into Melbourne, and there are several parks and multiple beach accesses between the two. Jetty park does charge for entrance but depending on the time of day you are there you can watch the cruise ships leave port and there are several good restaurants close by. James H Nance park at the end of 192 on Indiatlantic is a nice little park, metered parking, small playground, picnic area and bathrooms. Parking is close to the beach. Between 192 and Patrick's Airforce base there used to be a lot of small beach accesses with parkin

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Finished should never be used in the same statement as I-4. Well not just I-4, I-75 and I-95 are the same way.

I should hope your diesel never run out of "gas" 🤔. (Sorry couldn't help myself) My bosses used to run their trucks down to 0 all the time. It freaked me out, I can't do it, they never seemed to run out though.

Woohoo, I'm in. Was also hoping for a trip report!

After a nap we decided to head over to Epcot to see Herman's Hermits. We drove since we had the scooter and were contemplating heading to HS after to see if there was anything special for the May the 4th be with you. Talk about Epcot being packed or at least the parking lot appeared to be but then it was about 6pm on a Friday. By the time we got back to the back of Epcot they were just finishing up the middle show. So we decided to go get in line for the 8pm show. We got in line and at a good spot in the shade, just as they finished the last song you could see a mad dash coming from the theate

On the way back to the Fort we stopped at Twin Peaks which is on Winter Garden Vineland road almost to S Apopka Vineland rd next door to the Ale House. We were going to go to the Ale house but it was packed (lunch time) so we decided to give Twin Peaks a try. Now I knew enough to know it was something along the lines of a Hooters "Twin Peaks" but other than that knew nothing about the restaurant or what they served. This place had excellent food, I didn't try the wings but had a perfectly cooked piece of salmon. They have scratch kitchen so every is made from scratch per your order want light

I tried ordering online and picking up in the store with camping world but they won't let you do that. I even called their online help number and as soon as I said I didn't have a Good Sams number the guy got very nasty. Oh well, I plan to milk that Good Sams discount for all I can. I want airbags for the truck, new tires for the trailer before we go out of state, I'm sure the list will grow.

Got up Thursday morning and got everything hooked and loaded up. Mom was scheduled to have surgery Monday morning so this was a get her mind off it trip. We ended up leaving the house about 1200 and made it up in good and we were pulling in about 2pm. Had a very nice gentleman check us in and we chose site 860. 860 was the site our friends had last trip and stay shaded most of the day the only thing we forgot was there wasn't much privacy between it and site 862 next to it which is where we had stay. We did drive around a bit to see if any other site caught our eye and was surprised by the num

Well this these to be turning into the neverending, no picture having trip report. The day after we arrived home the throne aka toilet that Dometic sent to replace the one that had broken arrived. Standard plastic Dometic toilet, the more I thought about it and dreaded replacing it the more I just wanted to go buy one with the ceramic bowl. That's what I did, drove up to to RV alley (I4 and 75 where lazy days, general RV and camping world are almost within spitting distance) and went on the hunt. Now I had seen camping world had a good price on the one I wanted, but that was the o

There was definitely a lot of popcorn, probably would have been more but we forgot the bucket one day. 😭

The do or did that in Endless Caverns in VA too, my grandma was "that person" who after a few seconds pulled a flashlight out of her pocket. I'll give her credit though, she was highly claustrophobic and only went in to make me happy and it was a very small group maybe 5 of us total. Everyone got a kick out of it. I remember being amazed there were blind shrimp in the pools down there.

You're not going to tow the T@B behind the class C?

I'm in. That's great SW is so accommodating.

Yes they do, it's a platform in the middle of the boat. It may raise up to roll onto and then lower back down so you can see, I can't remember exactly. The boat ride in the Mexico pavilion has certain boats with a ramp that you can roll right onto.

Thank you We were there from 4/9-4/15. I'm kinda ashamed to admit I'm not sure I looked ar Fort Fiends much while we were there, didn't realize that y'all were there. Sadly didn't even go looping! 😭 And the worst part we had stuff to make drinks in pineapples and Brandy Alexanders and made neither.....

Woke up Sunday morning and didn't want to go home! Isn't that how it always is. I got up and started putting stuff away and getting ready to pack up. Mom asked if I wanted to stay another day she wasn't up to helping with anything. After a few calls to the Fort and some back in forth in my head we decided to just head home and had requested a late check out, just noon. Then my grandfather called, wanted to let me know there were some strong storms coming through and it was going to be a windy, and possibly rainy ride home. Well that kicked me into gear, gotta get packed up and try to beat the

Saturday afternoon is where we left off. We were all tired and ready to get back to camp and relax and that's exactly what I did. Took a nice cool shower, had a sandwich and laid around for a bit. Mom wanted to go see the fireworks from the beach so we made some cocktails and headed down to the settlement, well of course there was no golf cart parking so we decided to check at the other end of the beach and found a spot on the Rd to park the cart. We had taken chairs and walked down to enjoy the evening before the fireworks. Well then my friend texted they had changed their minds and we're co

Thank you

Ok so on to Saturday. Now usually our Fort trips are fairly relaxing with lots of looping, naps, and a few short park visits thrown in. Living close enough for day trips and having annual passes we rarely do more then make a couple fast passes, do those, and head back to the Fort. Maybe if a band is at Epcot or something special we want to see we'll go to that. Well this was day 3 of park days, though not open to close still more park time then we normally put in. Add to that no naps, truck issues, and a day spent driving home and back, I was ready for a slow relaxing day. But my friends son

Haha, had a lot of free time yesterday. Figured I'd work on it while I had the time and before I forgot more. We have usually have had pretty good luck with CMs at the Fort and the times we've had new or inexperienced CMs we've had enough experience to make it a smooth transaction. This lady however seemed to just want to make it tough. Yeah it's been mentioned many times on here how common courtesy and sense seems to be a thing of the past. This was definitely so for the fireworks. Thank you Thanks for reading along, it was a fun trip.

Oops thanks for catching that. Fixed it!

Ok so Friday night, my friends boyfriend decided not to come up till Saturday morning so it was just the 5 of us going to Port Orleans. We got back to the Fort, rinsed off had a snack and all loaded back up in the truck in a fairly timely manner for our group. Now my friends son and DIL had never seen Yehaa Bob. So we got to Port Orleans about an hour before the show, and it's packed!!!!! Well we got a table behind the short walk but really wanted one of the front tables. I happened to look over and there were 2 ladies who had checks in front of them at one of the front tables. Now I'm not usu

Ok back to Epcot we loaded up the truck, all remembered to bring our water bottles and headed off to Epcot. Now I like the MK, but when people ask what my favorite park is it's Epcot. Damn Judy Dench had a short line and we figured we'd hit it on the way out so we headed over to mission Mars. Now I have ridden this once and it was more than enough, never happening again and almost didn't happen the first time, I'm claustrophobic and had I had any idea how that ride would be before I was strapped in and it was closing I wouldn't have gone. So my friend's son and DIL went. We headed over to the

So Friday was Epcot day, we had fast passes for the frozen ride but not till the afternoon. But the biggest thing we wanted to do was go to Port Orleans Riverside and see Bob. So other than my friend the rest of us are late risers, well her son usually isn't but this was vacation. I think she let us sleep till around 830. We got up had some coffee then decided to have some breakfast. When we camp together we usually do group breakfasts, and cook at one campsite or the other. So I fried up some sausage then cooked the scrambled eggs in it with lots of cheese, they made the bacon, I'd made some
