If we're at the fort, we'll come home or to your site to meet you. I feel you there. We are heading down to Ft Myers tomorrow to check it out. Trying to convince my wife to move to Fl when we retire. We both know people who moved to that part of the state when they retired and neither of us have been down there before. I have family in Lakeland and Boynton Beach but they are up in Ohio this week so we dont have family to visit this trip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The wait time on the app was 210 minutes. Luckily, we had FP's. When we were exiting we got behind some people who had bailed on the standby line. They were irate....saying they had been in line for 4 hours and were going to get a refund. How did they think Disney would refund them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thats hilarious. Wonder how much luck they had with that. Im sorry we have been on FoP. Its cool but I would never wait more than an hour for a ride and thats really pushing it for my tolerance level. If we dont have a FP and I can get one we ride what we can, do some people watching, and head back to the fort. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Took us about 2.5 hours to get back to the Fort from Brandon. About twice as long as usual. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My oldest is working on homework at the moment and driving us crazy. Its been a long day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted November 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 And today we finally got to meet rtguy007 and his two beautiful children! They came by just as we were finishing dinner. Such a great family. Hope many of you will have the opportunity to meet them! And this was after a great visit with the crabby ex-bus driver. The people across the street from us on 703 are building a castle in front of their motorhome. And they have a life-size Cinderella's carriage replica. Can't wait to see it all finished.

It was great to meet you last night. Thanks for the tour or the lights. The kids have not stopped talking about riding on the golf cart. I am going to have to invest in one sometime before they get to old. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quite a few deals out there for Christmas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 Wow! Have to say... I like that better, than the huge haunted house over halloween :) I did like a couple of the skeleton scenes though. A couple of those were pretty cute. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
