I could use a Dole Whip! Try it with Rum if you haven't already...

Still no sign of my sign.... I placed my order on Oct 24th, and received my confirmation on the 31st. Hoping to get it soon!

Thanks guys! Appreciate the info. That's a shame the "African Queen" had a run in with those trees :)

Probably a silly question, but does Disney allow people to bring their own boats? If so is there a boat ramp for public use?

" Fill your cooler with beer, and buy the eggs and milk after you get there." Couldnt of said it better myself.

All, I will be camping at the Fort Dec 20-23, and was thinking about spending our last night eating at the Hoop-dee-doo review. So my question is, Is it worth the money? Thanks in advance. Eric

HAHA Well put! Eventhough we dont agree on NCAA Teams, we can agree on "Happy Wife, Happy life." Go gators

Hello All, I ordered my Fort Fiends Sign 2 weeks ago, and just wanted to check from those of you who have them or any admins about the ETC of said sign. Just want to make sure I have it for my December trip. Also, my fiance is convinced she is going to deorate or "Bedazzle" YAYYY it. Is this frowned upon by fellow fiends? :user2552: Eric

Thanks Judy!

Should of stated that I live in South Tampa, 15 mins from 275, once on the HWY its a quick Hr & 15 Mins to the gates of MK!

Hello All, and Happy Halloween, Was wondering if anyone has any information on the Christmas Site Decorating contests are this year. Also, it is my udnerstanding that there is a Cart parade? Any information is appreciated! Thanks

Hey Jayco1, Let me beging by anwsering your first question: Yes you will receive a hard "credit card like" card, if not a Magic Band! Both work the same way, except the magic band will have spending capabilities, and act as a room key as well. But either way, you will be able to hop to and from all four of the parks any day. No black outs. My fiance and I, are going on our 3 straight year with the passes, and do not see us stopping in the foreseeable future. We live in Tampa, and its a quick 1.5 hour drive from our door to Magic kingdoms gate! So We heavily utilize Day-cations, and go for on

Welcome! As I am not familiar with premium loops, because I am a Tent camper, but i do know that you should not worry about too much direct sunlight. Most if not all, sites have nice shade trees keeping your RV and site cool during peak "Sunny" hours. And as I saw lots of folks reccommending taking the boat to MK, I 100% agree. Its your best bet, and makes for a fun trip over. As for Bike locks, I have never seen anybody use them! FW is a very safe place, and if you cant trust people at DW where can you. Hope I helped a bit, and good luck with your Route! Eric

Welcome Fellow Newbie! I should preface that I'm new to the website, but not new to Campsite! And my advice with a Golfcart is Get one! I've gotten one the first 5-6 times I camped, and on the 7th we decided to pass on the cart, and it was a huge mistake. Not only are they fun and convenient they made your whole stay more enjoyable. To and from the comfort stations, to the pools, and you can park them at the Main Bus station to the parks, instead of taking a bus from the loop to the station and to the parks. All i know is that, from now on I will always be renting a golf cart. Or atleast un

Thanks everyone for the warm welcomes, and the information. A special thanks to mouseketab.....Carol, I was able to book Dec18-22, and conjoin my 2 reservations, and then cancel the 18th, and the 19th! So I am now booked and Incredibly excited to spend the holidays in the Fort. Again, a big thanks for all the feedback and ideas! Feel free to stop by for a cocktail or some eggnog if you see my sign!

Hello, Farily new to the boards, and Fort Fiends. I have a dilemma and am seeking some help or advice. As I am sure most of you know it is EXTREMELY tough to book a site during the holidays, and Christmas season. But with some persistence, I was able to make and book 2 separate reservations for back to back nights (Dec 21- 22, and Dec 22-23) at Fort Wilderness. BUT the kicker is when booking the inital night (Dec 22-23 online I booked a "Pop-up/tent site" which is desired and the next reservation I booked for the night before is for a "Premium Site" (intended for RV's). So my question is,

Hello, Long time Disney camper, but new to Fort Fiends. Here is my dilemma: I have reservations for a tent camp site December 20th-21st, and the 22nd-23rd. I know they book almost 500 days in advance and it is near impossible to get nights that close to Christmas. I was hoping someone on here had some advice, or heck even someone with a change of plans, and that isnt able to stay that night. I'm not sure if sites/reservations can be traded like DVC points/reservations but if so I'd be willing to try. Any information will help. Thanks from a new Fort Fiend. Eric C
