  1. As others have said there are many factors that contribute to the tires "blowing", but to be specific if you have TowMax tires on your trailer or 5th wheel I highly suggest getting rid of them ASAP. It is not a matter of if they will blow, but when. This is known and discussed on several of the RV forums. The Goodyear and the Saliun are much better options. We have over 7000 miles on our Saliun's and so far so good, but I check them before and during each trip. After 5 years they will get replaced regardless of how much tread may or may not be left.
  2. We were there in June this year shortly after the ride opened and we were able to ride Flight of Passage 2 times and the River Journey 1 time all without fast passes. There will be some waiting, but compared to the potential wait times we felt that we did very well. We did go on a morning with early Magic Hours (7 am) and arrived about 45 minutes prior to opening. Disney staged this very methodically once they opened. First they opened the security checkpoint about 20 minutes early so the crowd could start flowing through. Then everyone had to wait at the ticket scanners until about
  3. At Memorial Day typically it has not been too hot in the mountains so shade was not a big factor. Thier pool is usually too cold to go into at Memorial Day. Try to get a site where your awning/patio get the morning sun or try to get up top with the pine trees. We love Anchor Down and have spent the past several Memorial Day, Labor Day and Halloween there.
  4. Here are a few of the locations we enjoy. Of course getting a spot may be difficult as many of these fill up well in advance of a year or more. Anchor Down RV Resort - Dandridge TN on Lake Douglas River Plantation - Sevierville, TN Panama City Beach RV Resort
  5. I had to laugh when you said trying Beverly. We did this on our trip last week. That drink is absolutely horrible and It leaves the worst bitter after taste.
  6. I grew up in Florida and went to Disney World every year (sometimes 2x per year) from shortly after it opened to now. In addition I still bring my family about every other year so I love Disney and always will. I love the Disney experience and actually my favorite park is MK even though it is not jammed packed with thrill rides. It just has all my childhood memories from Pirates of the Caribbean, Peter Pan, Space Mountain, Carousel of Progress, People Mover and even It's a Small World. I do not disagree about the Magic and also the other responses about Epcot being one of th
  7. Having just returned from spending a week at WDW I would agree that Epcot is the park in need of a upgrade in many aspects. Our friends who were travelling with us and who have not been to Disney in over 10 years commented that Epcot was the one park they would skip next time they visit. I think Disney is under pressure from Universal Studios and is severely lagging behind them when it comes to attracting the thrill seeking, roller coaster crowd. With Universal's recent opening of Volcano Bay even the Disney water parks are lacking greatly. Personally I used to enjoy the Innoventions
  8. Well things worked out perfect for us last weekend. We were on Toll Road 429 when we got the text that our site was ready. We pulled into the Fort right around 12:00 p.m. and went straight to our site. We ended up in site 420 which was great.
  9. Thanks. I must just be catching it when it is down.
  10. Anyone know what is up with Test Track the past couple of days? I know the ride goes down sometimes, but according to the app it has been down for the past 2 days when I checked. We will be there next Thursday so I am trying to see what is going on.
  11. After reading the article and all the comments the only way to close all the loopholes is to do away with the Fast Pass System on the Magic Bands. You know that will not happen however as Disney loves to plan, track, detail everything about the guest via the Magic Bands. Also I think people will always find loopholes whether good or bad. I for one miss the old paper system as I could look what time was available and get one or not get one if I liked the return times.
  12. Thanks for all the feedback. This is very helpful. We will just head to The Fort on Saturday morning!
  13. Is there a phone number we can call to see if we can check in early this coming Saturday, June 10? We plan to stop in Lake Park, GA Friday Night and should be to The Fort by 12:00 p.m. or earlier (depending upon how early we get up), but do not want to waste time driving to have to park in the overflow lot and sit for several hours. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
  14. Thanks for the update. So are they still letting people in early too or is just when people start lining up? I hope they are not ignoring the Magic Hours!
