Wow- talk about customer service for a magical vacation! Last night on the way to Magic to watch the electric parade I opened the "My Disney Experience" on my phone to make/change FP changes for the next day. Upon opening the app I received the message that DD and DS were out of days and that I needed to add admission tickets to enter FP choices. Of course, I panicked because we still had 3 days left on our hopper passes. I asked a cm at the main gate and they sent us to guest services. So I stood in line forever- missing the parade. However, when it was our turn the young lady who helped us w

Ever heard of Johhny's Hideaway? DH's friend suggested it.

As soon as I figure out how (took me forever just to upload a profile picture) I'll post it.

I can't find a dining on/off property thread (but that could be because I'm using my iPad). DH and I are celebrating our 10th anniversary while at the Fort. Thinking of a nice dinner- just the two of us. DH is a meat and potatoes kind of guy and I prefer a surf and turf option. We both love decadent desserts too. Any dining suggestions either on or off (close by) the property?

Thanks for the suggestions- scavenger hunt is all typed up and ready to go!

Coleman Roadtrip and full griddle accessory for Papa Joe's pancake, bacon, and egg breakfasts!

I received an email from Disney on Monday telling me I had until the 23rd to make FP+ changes. We arrive on August 3rd, so I'm wondering how you can change your choices or times once you're there?

We like to play Boggle or MadGab. Fun games.

I've got our scavenger hunt list started. Could someone tell me what/where bear rock is?

Thanks for the short-cut tip. We'll check that out too.

Received my tickets and bands today. Went to reserve Frozen Summer Fun Package - SOLD OUT! Bummer.

I'm sorry. I just want to make sure I'm reading this map correctly. My DS17 and DAS18 (I made up a new abbreviation- DAS- Dear "Adopted" Son - son's best friend goes everywhere with us ;0) want to go off on their own to do their own thing. So, if they want to hit Blizzard Beach or Typhoon Lagoon, they take the yellow or green lines from the outpost directly to the water parks? Does anyone know about how long this takes (on average) given the amount of stops? Also, can you give us any tips on getting to Universal from FTW? They are both licensed drivers, but we live in the middle of nowher

Lou, just curious: Do your posts get sweeter after you've had some apple pie? If they do, I might have to make 2 pies for you upon arrival just to give our Fort Fiends a break! LOL. Oops! Posted this twice. Well, it might need repeating. I'll set up a fan while the pies are cooling and that way I won't need to post our site #- you can follow the aroma right to us. :rofl3:

I read suggestions on another thread, such as checking out other resorts in Animal Kingdom, etc. So, I just assumed if other people can visit other resorts before check in, we could walk around the campground before check in. Then I realized the set-up at the gate so now I'm worried.

Thanks everyone. I think we're going to leave the house early Saturday morning. DH thinks we can drive straight thru so we'll be on the road on the 2nd. I'll just wait until we get there. I imagine the schedule at the pool doesn't change that much so I'll use that for guidance. We'll arrive Sunday before check-in if all goes well and I wanted to know what activities we could check out while we're waiting for the site to open up and RV to arrive. Will we be able to swim, etc. while we're waiting or do we have to wait for check in time? Now that I think about it, will they even let us int

Does anyone know when the FTW August schedule will be available and where I could find it (online)? Thanks!

That's what I was thinking! I can't let my little DD10 down! :heartsmiley:

What did you decide? I understand this is just another way for Disney to rake in more $ but as the mom of a 10 yr old daughter visiting in August I'm very tempted.

Magic bands are new to me as we didn't have them for our 2013 stay.I also don't remember the comfort stations being locked. So, when we get there what will we use to get into the comfort stations if the magic bands don't work?

Love this idea! Now I know how I'll offset the next 3 weeks of waiting to get there. This will be fun! The last time we were at the Fort we ended up extending our stay another day just so we could relax and check out the camp. I was debating whether or not to get 4 or 5-day hoppers but this makes that decision easier. Of course, some of my time over the next 3 weeks will be spent practicing my mad apple pie baking skills.

If I buy my hopper passes thru my NYSUT benefits will I be able to link them in MDE and take advantage of FP+ or do I have to buy the tickets thru Disney?

So Lou, do you stay at the Fort all year long? Do you think I'll get the chance to meet you while we're there (8/03-8/09)? I've requested Jack Rabbit Run 800 loop.
