Also a big Wawa fan, when I drove tractor trailer for UPS it was at least twice a night stop for coffee. On a side note I am even a bigger fan of Wawa as my dad was a delivery driver back in the VERY early days to houses when I was born so I tell everyone I am the milkman's baby

I’m glad to read that your girls have landed on their feet. I would have expected nothing less. I wish them the best in their post-Mouse lives. Anna is 13 years old. Yes, we’ve combined Anna’s trademark Russian attitude with teenage angst. Life in the DIT household is pretty active. While most of our friends are now empty nesters, we’re still firmly in Disney princess territory, which is really annoying for me being the anti-Disney guy I long have been. Like the country song said...I was anti-Disney before anti-Disney was cool. Lol. So all of these changes at

Is there a full day exciment at typhone lagone?

For me, we've actually lost some interest in Disney and the Fort. The uptick in prices, the fact that we can no longer buy an annual pass at present, and the pandemic, has put a damper on our enthusiasm for things Disney. (Especially since we just traveled cross country for three weeks, for less than a week at the Fort)

I'd love to attend but I'd have to drive a whopping 45 minutes just to see some Fort Fiend knuckleheads. For those who remember me, I retired from Disney and now live north of Atlanta. I will show up at Stone Mt. to annoy as many of you as I can. It'll be just like old times at the Fort. And you thought you had gotten rid of me. I expect some apple pie.

I know for myself that when I first joined Fort Fiends I was a SAHM. My children were between the ages of 8-14. I had more time after they went to bed to post and comment. As they got older and as I started working part time my time became more limited. I also agree with Carol about the ease of posting pictures for Trip Reports is gone. Sadly, I don’t have a solution for that. My thought is this rather than focus on the past, why not continue to just post when we feel called. When I need prayers or positive thoughts I know I can turn to Fort Fiends. If I need advice on places to eat either

You are correct. I do not do Facebook either. I only follow three forums and this is one of them. I would be very sorry to lose this one. Even though I do not post very often I check it regularly just to follow the news of WDW and the Fort. Although we haven't stayed at the Fort in years, largely due to the cost, we always do several visits there when we are in the area if only to chat to the CMs we have met over the years or catch a meal or visit with friends who might be staying there. I would be sorry to see this forum migrate to Facebook.

There is already a page on Facebook for Fort Fiends. If you have not already liked the page here is the link. https://m.facebook.com/fortfiends/ Also, it is imperative that we “like” the posts and comment on them. I have been slacking in this area.

Good to see you here, Dave. I bought my camper when my oldest daughter was 8, and the twins were 4, and those first 10 years were the best. Like you, we made many last minute weekend trips, and never had a problem getting a site or feeling ripped off. I didn’t like what came next, but I accepted it, and we just camped less, but still enjoyed it when we did. What finally did it for me is seeing how opportunistic and greedy Disney has been during the pandemic. The park pass system blocks out passholders so they can sell those spaces to day guests at a higher price. Even though park atten

Andrew, great to hear from you. When you of all people are parting ways with Disney, everyone needs to realize there is a problem..lol. Like we spoke years ago, Disney has changed so much. For years it was just an attraction that a family could vacation at. Disney was not battling for world domination back then like they are now. It seems the majority changed when they bought MARVEL. Everything was looked at to make more money. They didn’t just want to make more money, they wanted to become a powerhouse and make a HUGE amount of money. With acquisitions like ABC,ESPN and eventually Lucasf

Like I said in the initial post, there used to be posts about the Fort, Disney, the evil Universal, food, characters, and ones that went off the track so far you had to go back to the original OP to find out what everyone was talking about. There was always something to read and reply to. I miss those days.

Huge WaWa fan here in Maryland. My mom also lives near Salisbury.

We have felt safer on Disney properties with their rules then most other places.

From WESH 2 Mask mandate in Orange County could be relaxed, mayor says https://www.wesh.com › article › orange-county-mask-..

But apparently they are already "relaxing" the rules. You can take it off for a photo.. the rumor is out that the rule is being relaxed at the FORT in certain areas. We were at DS Thursday and many people were sitting, no food or drink, with their masks off, no CM commented. We will see....

Disney doesn't have to follow relaxed guidelines. We have a county just N of Tampa that did away with the county ordinance about wearing masks last week. I noticed a couple independent stores took down their signs, but Lowes, Dollar Tree, Wal-Mart etc still enforce mask wearing.

I have enjoyed all the Trip Reports and fun posts from everyone that posted them, whether it was Disney related or not. And I appreciated the time and effort they put in them. A big Thank You! I hope more people will come back and share their trips and other interesting info going forward. This forum has always had the most friendly and respectful people. I am honored to be a part.🙂

When I joined Fort Fiends my girls were still in elementary school. My son was just starting high school. They are all grown now. It’s difficult even trying to plan a weekend away sometimes where we can all go. Like I mentioned in the Defeated Creek GG thread. Our lives are moving in different directions. I was thinking the other day about it and I was thinking it is like a neighborhood. When my family moved in to our neighborhood it was brand new. Like just a few streets done and most of us had small children. You would constantly see children playing and lots of neighborhood planned act

Even the Facebook groups related to Fort Wilderness have really slowed down. I think the pricing and the difficulty getting reservations while there are so many new RVs has taken some of the appeal away.

It might be better to go next year but our family situation requires us to go this year. Last Family Vacation with all the family. Last child graduating from high school and the rest are starting to scatter. Can't wait until next year because we don't know where a couple of them will be by then. Thanks @katman1356...Jason! You are the man!!
