geoffdaddy 33 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Sorry, Todd. I meant to respond to this earlier. But, I had to hunt something down and I forgot. I think that the yellow Volvo is on the 2100 loop: Bobcat Bend. According to a document fellow Fiend, Tim5055, has posted on his website, the 2000 and 2100 loops were added in 1976. The 2100 loop had rental trailers set up on it. I remember that from some old photos posted by KFK (I'll never forget her dad's plaid pants). Here's where Tim's document is posted: http://www.title-3.com/images/1991FortFacts.gif. And this is the document: Since the 2100 loop apparently was built as a rental trailer loop, they didn't need to make the road too wide- once the trailers were on the sites, there would only be automobile traffic on the loop road. So that's my theory. TCD Interesting... so if I take a preferred campsite value price and punch that into the CPI calculator, today's rate is $75.85 before tax. Price today for value rate during the week for preferred is $75 before tax. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Sorry TCD I don't have my computer Darn that Rudy! Tell him to give it back. Interesting... so if I take a preferred campsite value price and punch that into the CPI calculator, today's rate is $75.85 before tax. Price today for value rate during the week for preferred is $75 before tax. True. But, the most expensive campsite all year would only run you $48, which equates to $82.74 today. And the most expensive campsites- the premium sites- make up 54% of the inventory now. During peak times, which are much more frequent under the current pricing structure, you're going to be paying about $130 a night for that premium site. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Heres me and Mr. Smee in 1979, this was the trip we stayed in a cabin at the Fort, sadly, also my last ride on the Fort Wilderness Rail Road. :gaah: Brian Very cool!

TCD I may, my Mom is finally going through stuff after my Dad passed away, she layed that little nugget on me 2 days ago, she will be keeping an eye open for any Disney stuff, probably not too many pics though, as Tony said earlier, developing film was pricey so pictures were premium or they were on my Dad's Polaroid One Step and faded to nothingness! I do remember my Mom and Dad slept on the Murphy bed in the living room, and my Dad was so afraid of flipping back up in the wall, my brother and I hid under the bed till he got in and started pushing it up, he FREAKED OUT! Brian P.S. I still have those Mickey ears with my name hand embrodered on the back! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Thanks Todd, I needed that. I agree. And, this view isn't bad either: Not that I'm complaining, but I think these photos are from the 90's. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

YodaGirl 13 Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 I just finished looking through the entire thread. Gold star for me. I need to take some pictures of pictures next time I go to Mom and Dad's. They have tons of pictures from 1980 and on.I'll post the picture later, but there's one of my dad, my brother, and me at one of the parks. I'm going to guess it was 86. We're sitting in front of a topiary in the shape of the number "100". We can't figure out what it was for. I think a black car may have been in it, as well. I'll have to look again...

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 The size of those photos is fine. They are adorable. Thanks for making me feel old, though. I graduated from college in 1982. I see someone with one of those 110 instamatic cameras in the background of you first photo. I used to have one of those. It took terrible pictures. I can't figure out what the heck is on that float in your second photo. Is that your dad holding you? He looks very young. He must be around my age. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
