Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Great job finishing the report. Bonus photos, even. What's with the air horn strapped to the canoe? I assume that was provided by the Fort. That's new. Did they tell you why it's there? TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Travisma 1,317 Posted October 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Great job finishing the report. Bonus photos, even. What's with the air horn strapped to the canoe? I assume that was provided by the Fort. That's new. Did they tell you why it's there? TCDYes, they provided it, but failed to mention what it was for. I figured we blew it in case of trouble, don't know who would hear it or respond, especially on our clandestine voyage up behind 1500/1800. Maybe it's to scare gators. My granddaughter was dying to try it out. They could make the canoe trips so much better if they would just clear up the canals and get more water in them. Heck more people would fish if the canals looked better. That's just a no brainer and wouldn't cost them a lot to clean up and maintain. Like I posted earlier, the Fort didn't just open and they don't know what to do yet. The place has been around since the late 70's. They should have everything figured out by now ! Of course they did screw up taking away the breakfast truck, train, trams, and the real store at the Meadow! Oh and the beach at Bay Lake ! I bet all of Golden Oaks canals will stay full and clean!

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 After looking at your canoeing pictures and then seeing the picture of the water bridge, my mind immediately went to canoeing over the water bridge. That would be awesome! I think a future Fiend mission is in order. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So, it you are on vacation and have kayaks, canoes, etc with you and check into the Fort, do they allow you to take them to your site, or do they impound them? I always look all of the various canals that are at Disney and would love to get into them with a kayak. There's quite a few if you go out the back way from the Fort. Imagine the good fishing there must be in some of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Travisma 1,317 Posted November 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Seeing the cart pictures, and reading all about the good times at Halloween, we bit the bullet and booked a site for Halloween 2014!That gives us a year to get packed and talk our daughters into giving up the grand daughters for those days. 10/30 - 11/2.

Travisma 1,317 Posted November 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Great report....love the tent set-up!Thanks. I think it came out pretty good for a newbie. I wanted to try to make it with an arched roof, but would've needed too many poles and might not have been doable at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
