Hi All,

We have reservations at the Fort for a premium site during April 2020.  Our plans were to use our trailer, as usual, however we may not be able to take it this time.  Would anyone know if you can rent a trailer to have set up at your site.  Is there a specific company to contact?  How do we work that with Disney, do we have to let them know?  Would we be able to request our site in advance as we usually do?  Any information that folks might share would be appreciated.  If not our alternative may be to try and switch the reservation to a hotel room.

Thanks.

Yes please and thank you.

We've been here this past week and on Thursday night when it poured and just drove around the loops. The 800 loop is fine, no obvious swampy places. A few in the 2000 loop but all in all it's pretty dry, for Florida in August. There are a lot of empty sites in many of the loops. I'm sure you'll have no trouble getting your requested area.

Just an update. We have been here for two days. There is a video screen by the vending machines at the outpost bus stop and it has not worked. Drivers say they don't know why it is not working.

We hope all will be well with you and the family.  You are in our thoughts.

Sorry I just logged in again.  I'm getting ready to take a bunch of my students to Gettysburg on Saturday for a debate competition and between that and our annual school trip to Washington and lessons and the new PARCC exams it's been a busy past few weeks.  We are planning on arriving on Friday 4/3 sometime in the afternoon.

Yes it has been a heck of a winter.  Most of January was not bad and we felt lucky getting back home after Christmas in Disney without weather, but then February hit and wham.   We finally have a few warm days. The melt is on and now it's lots of water.  

Going to get the camper back from the shop tomorrow.  It has been there since we returned from the fort in January fixing the damage from the blow out. Between waiting for the insurance, which was awesome I will say, and then parts and service plus the snow storms I'm finally going to pick it up.  Now I need to get new tires before we head down in a few weeks.  

The memory maker is an good idea, how does that work with a group?  We did it over Christmas when the entire family was down but this time it is just my wife and one daughter and we were not considering it but if there is a group it might be worth it.  Please let me know the details of how that would work. Would we just be linked through the my disney experience?  Any others besides you and Katman?

We will be down there for Easter week.  We should be arriving on 4/3 or 4/4 depending.  Winter up north has been bad and with recent snow day we lost 4/2 so we have to ask and see if we can get that day off.  If not we arrive on Saturday.  Looking forward to seeing you again.  Sorry won't be able to join on Easter, going to visit family that day near by.

Hi All, it was fun to meet everyone. Dave thank you for hosting. Next time we'll try not to make dinner reservations so we have more time to stay. Thanks Kelly and Jason for the warm welcoming visit at our site. We hope to see everyone around the Fort or at the parks over the rest of our stay.

Found a tire. Thanks all.

Thanks. You too. I'll start the calling today and see how it goes. Hope to see you later at the GG.

Well we arrived today at the fort and experienced our first trailer tire blow out. The tire is gone and the rim is also shot. Does anyone know a place around here to get a travel tire and rim. We were luck to get here from SC where it happened but I don't want to chance the return to NJ without at least a spare. Thanks.

Hi all, well after torrential raiins and one blown tire we made it. We're in 1310 if anyone wants to stop over and watch us decorate. Anyone know a local place to get a new tire and rim in the area. I don't want to risk going home without a spare tire for the camper. Thanks.

We arrive on Tuesday.  Is there another forum to post sites and see where every one else is parking their camper or do we look here?  You know... rookies 

Something is wrong with you then.

Heard that once or twice before.

Yeah, I figured it was a couple hours. Atlanta traffic scares my Jersey mom though.

You eat pork roll, right?

Actually, no we don't.

is that the Princeton area as in Lawrenceville, Plainsboro,Kingston,Rocky Hill, West Windsor, Pennington, Hopewell or Rosedale?

 

Personally, I grew up in Pennington

Yup, exactly, Plainsboro area.

I'm a Southern gal, but the rest of my family is from South Jersey... Margate.

Jersey's actually bigger than most people think. Margate is about an hour and a half to two hours from us depending on traffic and there's almost always traffic somewhere in Jersey.

We are book in a premium site.  We don't have a sign.  Once we get there I'll post our site.

Where in NJ are you from? 

We are in central Jersey, near the Princeton area.

Timing is perfect we have dinner reservations at Trails End for 6:00. Looking forward to meeting all.

Thanks for the invite.  We are at the fort 12/24 - 01/02.

Thanks. I hate to sound tech illiterate but... Where can I find the thread? Thanks.

Opps, sorry I posted my comment and then looked at the activities thread and saw the December calendar posted.  That's what I get for thinking nothing changed between last night and today.

Hi All

We are coming down for our first Christmas at the fort arriving on the 24th.  We were wondering if there is anything the veterans would be willing to share as we've been to Disney and Fort Wilderness many times but this is our first Christmas.  We were planning on decorating our site and have been reading in the forms a variety of rules or restrictions.  We are a family of seven, all grown and some with significant others so no little kids to worry about.  I was unable to find any activities schedule for December on line.  We heard of the golf cart parade and look forward to walking around to see the decorated sites.  Any advice that you're willing to offer will be welcome.  If this has already been covered in a different discussion thread please point us there.  Thanks.
