Fort Fun, Flowers, Food & Fiends!


Recommended Posts

For anyone still following along, I promise I am almost done! :)) I know this TR is very picture heavy, (and I apologize) but I tried to think of newbies that may come here and haven't seen all that we've seen. CONTENT!! (I want to stay on Monique's good side ;))

Amanda, G.I. Jordan & Nathen:

Trevor went to the counter service to get us a piece of pizza:

I couldn't help but notice the cast member who served our pizza :rofl2: Need a better look?

This is Domenico from Modena, Italy (where Ferraris are made, he told us) I couldn't care less what he was saying, just hearing him speak made me want to take a cold shower! >:D

Ok, Stef, FOCUS!

We each got a slice of pepperoni pizza for lunch, Trevor had a cannoli. Both were very good!:

I don't do characters, but when I came upon this one looking so sad & alone, I knew someone would appreciate it! ???

I love the railroad. The whole village even had flower & garden banners hung all around.

We exited the gates and found our bus stop just as a fort bus drove up! :banana: This day is turning out better than I expected. We get back to the fort, and I get the ultimate surprise...........

:popo:

Devine is awesome! The kids will love her, or she will freak them out like she does Dave. :)) Thanks for following along!

Yes, Lou is adorable!!! When he left I told hubby "I love him!!! He's great looking, is a Jimmie Johnson fan and works for the mouse!, What more could I ask for?"

HOW DARE YOU work so much??? Stop it, we need you here!

Definitely way better day than I had. The eye candy at Via Napoli looks even better than the caramels :popo:

:rofl2: AMEN sister!!! I'll take Domenico over any of those sweets, and I love sweets!!!

WOW!    AWESOME!    GREAT!

All trips and trip reports have to end at some point.  :(

When we got back to camp, I noticed something sitting on the picnic table. What was it, you ask?

TCD had left me a goodie! :rofl2: I had only met him one other time before, so I was both excited and flattered that he had stopped for a visit. It was like finding an old friend. I started writing a quick note back, thinking that by the time I got to his site, him & the twins would be off and running. While I was writing, I looked up to see a couple on bikes pulling into our site. Magicbus, his wife (Gail) and little Buddy!! This was like Christmas morning! I showed them my note & gift, and we talked for while.

"Mrs Magicbus" is just as beautiful as "Mr. Magicbus" (like I expected any less, duh!)

The boys had to go out to the store so Amanda & I went to find TCD.

Clue #1: Hammock

march2011fort384.jpg

Clue#2: Gator

march2011fort385.jpg

Lou & Gail were there so we all talked for a while. We told him that we missed him here. He said he has a TR from a trip in February, and I'm sure he's writing one now from this weekend. Hopefully he will get on here and share with us.  :heart: We didn't stay too much longer after Lou & Gail left, we needed to get home and start supper for the boys, and TCD was going to nap in his hammock before going back to the park. :)

We put the marinaded chicken on the grill and G.I. Jordan hung with a beer:

march2011fort380.jpg

He wanted to go for a bike ride, but his legs just wouldn't reach the pedals:

march2011fort387.jpg

While we sat around, we discussed the whole finger scan passholder thing. Does it work, is it outdated, can someone else use your pass? "I wouldn't try it because I would be the one to get caught and the WDW po-po would revoke my pass!" Was my final answer. ;)

We ate supper:

march2011fort379.jpg

Went off on our last evening cart ride as the kids wanted to go to Animal Kingdom.

march2011fort382.jpg

march2011fort381.jpg

We dropped them off at the front and I took this picture (I knew the next time I saw it, I would be pouting)

march2011fort383.jpg

On our way back, I asked Trevor to drive around to see if I could find Buckeyefortfan, who was supposed to arrive on Friday. I found them in Little Bear, and marched my ass right up to meet them. Chris, his wife and 4 little fiends! No surprise how well they fit in here, super sweet, snarky people.  :rofl2:

About an hour later Amanda calls to tell me that Nate's pass wouldn't scan, and was asked to see I.D. Strange timing, as we had just had this conversation!

We stayed around camp, and I struggled to stay awake because I didn't want morning to come too quick.

But inevitably, it did!!! :(  I woke the kids up to help get things packed up. Amanda had donuts for breakfast: (Mason is keeping his eye on them also)

march2011fort388.jpg

The screen room is down, we're almost ready:

march2011fort389.jpg

We got home around noon, in time to unpack and watch the race. We had a great time as usual. It was nice to hang out with my son. It was nice to not rush around and just take in the scenery and details. It was SUPER DUPER nice to meet up with some fiends. A fort trip is never long enough! It truly is a whole other world. Thanks for sticking it out with me, hope to meet more fiends on our next trip.

That was one Super Duper Heck-a-ver Trip Report! I enjoyed it from one end to the other and TCD to boot. Wow!

Thanks so much for all the work it took to put it together.      :heart:

Great job on this TR Stef, almost like I was there. Oh wait, I was.

TCD would be proud of you.

Also, I think it's probably for the best that you and Doodlebug didn't meet up. You two would be dangerous together.

Most of you haven't met Stef, she is just as much fun in person as she is on here. It's like we were old friends. Hubby Trevor very nice gentleman and son Nathen, nice young man. Oh, Mason their furry child, is such a good dog. And Amanda, very cute.

PFC Jordan will get a big kick out of what Stef will be sending him.

It was a real pleasure meeting all of them and looking forward to the next time.

Good lawd. A stupid doll, more JJ cornhole board pics, a waiter from where Ferrari's are made and a daughter in law who eats what she wants and is a bone rack. I wish I had gotten there while you were at a park so I could smash the JJ boards. It's a comin missy. You can't stop the progress. I have a TCD found spike as well. Maybe if he joins here the tag fairy will name him FWRR Spike Santa.
