Thanks, we already have everyone on the reservations. We always fill in all 10 spaces with family who may or may not come. They always send MagicBands for all of us on the reservations, so this will be the second set for everyone from the Fort. About a dozen sets for my immediate family now. :-)

I knew you guys would know. Now I will, too! The photo is with Dale! We were not sure about visiting when they weren't staying on the property, so just opted against it. But thanks for the information. I hoping to have all my grandchildren down, in Oct - Nov, while we are there for two weeks. I figure a couple can come at a time. I'm waiting on the Not-So-Scary party tickets to go on sale so we can take them to one. We are also going to be there when the Christmas Parties start, so may do those with some of the grands as well.

Just as you all thought, it was just the sing-along and movie. My grandsons were absolutely thrilled! They got their picture taken with Chip or Dale. I'm sure if I posted the photo, most here would be able to tell me which one it was. I feel like a lame FF not knowing this. They did Legoland today and stopped by Disney Springs for awhile this evening. They didn't go back to the Fort tonight as it would be dishonest since they are not officially Disney guests today. Why, yes, I am bragging about what great kids I raised.

Are Chip & Dale at the sing-a-long? (Please pardon the stupid question if it's called Chip & Dale's sing-along, I honestly don't know.) I'm just hoping they get to meet some characters. They don't have Disney passes yet but plan on getting them when the kids are a bit older. The kids are mostly interested in the characters and the monorail right now. And they love staying at the value resorts, especially the Movie one, where they will be tomorrow night. They are going to try to do the movie, but it starts a bit late for them, they are of the early-to-bed, early-to-rise crowd.

Does anyone know if there is anything that goes on in place of the campfire during burn ban times, like now? One of my daughters and her family are spending the night in a Disney resort tomorrow night, on their way to Legoland on Monday. They have never been to the Fort and I told them to take the kids over for the campfire and movie .... then I remembered.

oops

We saw it and I loved it! When it's on DVD, I will definitely add it to my collection.

What do you mean? Trick or Treaters? Or is there something going on that I'm not aware of?

It's actually a great suggestion. In fact, it got me thinking maybe we should bring along smaller containers so we can empty that way. It may be much easier than finding an empty site to use during Halloween week. Tempting .... lol The lack of fires is my only negative about the Fort. Sometimes I really do wish I had it in me to be a rule breaker.

Ours is too big. It's a 32 gallons that has to be towed behind the van.

We are spending the first week of June here. I was just able to get those reservations last week. It's a tent site, on the river (not those horrid beach ones) but our pop-up will fit and they allow it. I was surprised to get reservations on such short notice, someone must have canceled. We don't have as many reservations this year as years past due to the three surgeries, and multiple pre-surgical procedures that I have to have this year. We've been kind of planning as we go on the doctors' schedules.

Site #46 last weekend. Very nice place. Saw lots of manatee.

We had an amazing, fabulous time in 1500. I do fear being put in 2000, especially at Halloween, when we have such a long stay. After that trip, I may start booking full hook up sites. It would be much easier anyway, than hauling our grey water to a vacant site - which I doubt will exist over Halloween week. Our cassette toilet only gets night time use, so it will hold out, but grey water an issue that would make full hook ups much nicer.

Not much more disappointing than seeing a starlight mint in your plastic pumpkin.

Thanks everyone! We have a tent site reserved, will hopefully be on 1500. Just us old folks so very much looking forward to passing out candy. We have lived out here in the boonies for ten years now and I miss trick or treaters. I always loved handing out candy. Even when our kids were little, DH would take them so I could stay home and pass out to all the kids. We may have company for a night or two here and there from our grown kids with grandkids, but nothing carved in stone. It's a bit disappointing to hear that 1500 doesn't get as many, and that there will be less due to the weekd

So, we will be spending our first ever Halloween at the Fort. I wonder how much candy I should bring to pass out? Should I start buying out all the after-Easter sales, to get ahead of the game?

I love camping in my little pop-up. I am much more comfortable there, than in any hotel room. We don't just camp at Disney, though, we camp for usually an average of 5-7 days a month, year round. It's my little home away from home and has everything I need, including full kitchen and bathroom.

You beat me to the come back.

I would put in the w/d without a second thought. Even if I were only just going to use it occasionally, it would be a done deal. I can't even put a monetary value on it. Having my own laundry facilities in mandatory in my world. If I could afford a big rig, I would make it perfect, and that includes a washer and dryer. Laundry is my nemesis. I raised 4 kids (some years 5) for 11 years in a rented townhouse, that not only didn't have hook-ups, but didn't allow tenants to put in apartment sized models. I also lived for over a year in another place with no w/d when my first child was an infan

I'm a bit more concerned at how hot they are going to be to sit on. They will be heating up all day in the Florida sun. They are also really ugly.

There was actually a Class A bus on a site when we were there. Much larger than a regular Class A, it was like tour bus that bands use. I do wish they would get it together and start to enforce the rules. The complete and regular disregard for all the rules is disturbing. It would not hurt business any. The Fort would still stay full. I'm looking forward to our first ever Halloween at the Fort, and handing out candy to all the little ones staying there. What I'm not looking forward to is buying enough candy to hand out to every kid who live in a 30 mile radius, who are not stopped from com

I wouldn't worry about it. When I was on a tent loop in February, there were 5th Wheels, very large travel trailers, and even Class A motorhomes on the loop. You won't have sewer hook ups so will have to use your black and grey water holding tanks, or just use the comfort stations.

OMG! I would love to have this! UPDATE: Just grabbed it for the camper on Shop Disney Parks app. Not sold out there.

Doesn't really matter because the people that need to read them, wouldn't.
