I'm also glad to see there is a dress code. I like going to nice places and having to dress up a bit. Hopefully the Edison will be a classy place and something a little different for the adult crowds.
It has a fantastic atmosphere. I would love to go after 10pm and take in the entertainment. It has a speakeasy vibe and there is an area cleared out for dancing and they have live bands. At least they did when we were there back in August.

The only thing I knew about was what was posted above. Since we were there at 4pm it shouldnt have applied as mentioned. It really is not well presented that the charge is there from anything I could find.

Yeah they added an extra $15. We didnt have him come over he just stopped and sat down and started his act. We didnt question the extra charge as the tables in wonderland card discount pretty much covered it in discounts but it was still an annoyance.
What I heard was that it was standard for them to add an entertainment fee as there are multiple acts that can come through. Emphasis on the can. There was a lady walking around on stilts that was just walking around and taking pictures when she could.

We hope to catch him at the Edison. We love Steam Punk.
He was really cool when we were there. He did some cool tricks for the kids and talked with us for a little bit. We were at the Edison around 4pm and it was pretty dead so I think we got a little extra attention.
One thing if you dont know, they will tack on an entertainment fee on your check. Wd didnt know that until the bill came. Was a noce surprise they snuck in there.

Thanks for the info guys. We are doing a 7 night cruise and was going to stay a few nights before and after the cruise in the cabins. If you feel the parking is secure then we may consider just driving over instead of their transportation. Just trying to get the remaining pieces of our trip booked. Just crossing my fingers that there is an AP discount on the cabins when we are there.

My wife and I are taking a cruise next April. We are looking to drive down and stay a day or two before and after our cruise in a cabin. Does anyone know if we can get disney transportation to and from the fort? Also can we keep our car parked at the fort if we use their transportation? We feel safer leaving our car at the fort instead of the parking garage over at port canaveral.

Thanks for the help. Called them this morning and they got it corrected for me so they will expire a year from tomorrow.

When I login and look at the passes I just added it showing that they are valid until the end of 2030? Will this update after I pickup the passes?

Just got off the phone with Disney and had something interesting happen and want to know what you guys think. My AP's expired on 5/5/2018. I know that 6/5/2018 was my last day to renew. When I called in I asked her to check and see if they could be renewed and if not I would pay the full price to get my AP's back since we will be making a few trips down in the next 12 months. She put me on hold, came back about 5 minutes later and confirmed they were expired and said I would need to renew them (never said anything about a full repurchase). When she processed the order, she processed it at the renewal rate instead of the full rate which saved about $100 a ticket. After all was said and done I now have 4 ticket confirmations and will be picking them up at will call here thursday. I added them into the my disney experience app and they were for the platinum plus pass (what we wanted) and labelled as a renewal certificate.
My question is, when I pick them up will they be active already and back date to the day they expired when it comes to renewal? In other words will they expire on 5/5/2019 or 12 months from they day I pick them up? I wanted to see if this has happened to anyone before. Seems odd that they would sell me a renewal knowing I was outside the renewal window by a few months.

We have never had any issues with people attempting to steal our bikes. With the exception of my daughters bike, our bikes are pretty nice bikes. We have never had anyone mess with them while at the fort. I also bring this along (https://www.harborfreight.com/30-ft-x-38-in-braided-steel-security-cable-62414.html) and run it through the rear wheels, the frames, then the front wheels. After that I loop it through the wheels on the TT and and lock it up with a higher quality security lock. My guess is that if anyone attempted to steal our bikes in the past, they saw the mess of security cable holding them all to the TT and just said it wasn't work the effort trying to cut the cable.

And here is one from today for $225
People pay crazy money for some of the dumbest things. I bet they are back in the part next week at normal prices.

I was wondering what that was when I was down there a few weeks ago for a conference. Saw it from the hotel I stayed at from a distance. Didn't get to go over and get a closer look.

Its a good time, and the story is enjoyable. You'll enjoy it, as long as you dont mind walking around a bunch.. And being asked "what the heck are you doing?"
Where/how do you get started? I have seen the people do it but never knew where to go to get started.

I was wanting to do that the next time we are there. Wanted to do it the past few years but never have.

Retrofitting tent sites would be very expensive.
They had pull thrus like that in 1200 and took them out for some reason.
I am going to guess it may have been the sidewalk that runs behind of 1200 but that is a guess.

Hmm.. on the sites (like they do, before the next guest arrives) or all over (driving down the loops)?
It was all over. Around 10:30 on the 2nd they were spraying between my sisters site and the next site over in 1300. Shortly after they were working on 1200. We also saw them in the full hookup loops putting fresh sand down on some of the tent pads.

We were there for brunch. Not only was there Tater Tots but mashed potatoes, gravy and fried chicken. All of which made it onto my plate in one trip or another. However it was the smoked slab bacon at the carving station that made it onto each plate. It's only once a year and my doctor wasn't around to see so what the heck, right?
The bacon is good from the carving station but the turkey I usually eat 4-5 slices of. I prefer the brunch over the daily breakfast. They are both good but the brunch is better.
Although it just dawned on me that the snowflakes may be out because it has been cold the past few nights. Once it warmed up they left.

Most of the breakfasts that we have had in the past 2 years they have had tater tots. I like brunch when they have the brown gravy to dip them in.

Our truck and camper are in 1212 at the moment with very little signs of pollen. It is around but doesn' appear to be massive amounts like we have experienced in the past. 2 days ago they came through the Ft and was spraying down the grounds. No idea why but wondering if it was to help keep the pollen down.

Are you sure you didn't misconstrue what they were saying? They must have been talking about how the hog that provided the bacon and sausage was a vegan.
Thats probably true. My wife was saying that they probably would crap a brick if they knew the potatoes were not 100% organic, not shredded and processed in a factory powered by sunshine and rainbows, deep fried in some of the best lard Crisco has to offer, and not served up on some of the finest recycled paper plates comprised of paper from the bottom of the Chicago landfill right beside of Jimmy Hoffas body.
Snowflakes......

I normally don't post things like this but the Dave in me is coming out. We are sitting here at trails end and there are 2 snowflakes at the table beside of us. We have been here about 20 minutes and these 2 girls have been complaining about the tater tots being called hashbrowns and it is offensive. Now this isn't just a 30 second discussion, this has been going on for 20 minutes. They keep talking about how they are vegan and vegans know how to properly identify potatoes. The best part is they are both munching down on some bacon and dipping those hashbrowns in the sausage gravy while the Mickey waffles suck up the blueberry syrup.
What has our society come to?

I stand corrected. We are on our way to the boats and they are back. I swear they were not there last night but they are there now.
