It's being from Texas bigger is better.

The turrets will house lights projectors and show equipment used during the shows on the castle stage and celebrate the magic. They will also house the control booths used for dream along with Mickey. They blend in better with the castle than the current structures.

So, we went to the storybook lunch at Akershus...and can I just say OMG???
 
Were it not for the helpful disney phone reservation lady suggesting that I NOT miss the brown cheese on the appetizer buffet, I would have walked right by it because i looked alittle like pate...I don't do liver.
 
CARAMELIZED GOAT CHEESE! Are you kidding me?? I did NOT know that was a thing.  Clearly I ate too much of it...but seriously....that was some fine eats.
 
Anyone else ever had a nibble? (or as in my case - - a pound or two?)

I don't want to spoil the movie for anyone...so I won't go into detail, but OMG....has anyone seen Tinkerbell and the Legend of the Neverbeast? I have been emotionally scarred for life.
 
We saw it at the Fort Wilderness Campfire last week.

We are on our way! Going to hit Houston just in time for rush hour. The joy! Can't wait to get to the Fort tomorrow!

^^^^^^^
This is me . . . on I've been in south (well south central) Texas for 40 years. I hate carrying jackets around, or the layers I have peeled off.  But for reals - - first world problems, eh??  Can't be too bad...if I have to be chilly, at least I'm at Disney!!!

So, from this theard I have learn the following:
 
#1: pack all the clothes you own.
 
#2: Bring pie (or cake), but really, pie.
 
:smug:

Yeah me!!!!!

Yeah me!!!!!

I'm sure this has been outlined here on Fort Fiends before, but (apparently) I missed it or was not paying attention because I did not know this:
 
Did you know that after you’ve used the 3 initial Disney FastPass+ experiences you selected at one park, you could visit aDisney FastPass+ kiosk location at a different park and select an additional one, and that each time you use that additional one you can select another at that park?
 
Disney sent me their standard survey after our visit last week and this was one of the questions.  I knew that you could get a 4th pass, after you used your first 3, but I did not know that you could do so at a different park... and then pick another at that park once you used the 4th FP.  Then again, we don't park hop so not a huge thing for us and after 3 FPs we're usually ready to head back to the Fort anyway    However... passing it along in case those of you who do park hop, missed this update as well :)

I just can't help but wonder.........why does it seem that an awful mess of folks here know what FEET taste like. :dropjaw:

My favorite thing to carry in is vodka....I mean water

I'm gonna ditto this one....1. because I agree and 2. it is monday and I am lazy and sleepy.

San Antonio was where we purchased our Platinum Passes.  We were in Houston for my granddaughters birthday and drove to SeaWorld to get the passes.  We got two years for all these parks
Unlimited admission at these SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment locations: SeaWorld Orlando, SeaWorld San Diego, SeaWorld San Antonio, Aquatica Orlando, Aquatica San Antonio, Aquatica San Diego, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Sesame Place (PA), Adventure Island (FL), & Water Country USA (VA). Special rates at Discovery Cove in Orlando, FL.   for less than just Orlando Seaworld, Busch Gardens and Aquatica for 1 year.  There was no big 1 day admission down payment.  They took the cost divided by 24 and that's all I had to pay that day and got billed monthly after that.  They are automatic renewal and they haven't raised the rates after they expired,  My wife found the deal for us.  I was shocked at the price difference between Texas and Florida. And our insulated backpack has the Miller Lite logo on it too.  Must've been some promo that the people didn't want and donated it to Goodwill.

We have a seaworld here in San Antonio and they can be strict about you bring in. My experience at Disney has been that they'll let me bring in anything in my little cooler backpack...we shove all kinds of crap in there and never get questioned at all. They do look carefully for straws at AK, but otherwise it seems fair game. We almost always carry in one meal. And then eat ice cream or popcorn or dole whips for the other meal. Yep, we're that family. Bad mommy! :drool1:

Pumpkin Cheesecake....mmmmm pumpkin cheeesecake...oh how I love thee pumpkin cheesecake. 
 
Pumpkin Spice Latte - - - you taste like a foot.

Was thinking of making a  giant Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork in the crock pot and my spreadsheet tells me we will be at the RV on the evenings of Nov 23rd and 24th. Anybody interested in joining us for some pork tacos???
 
P.S. there could be apple pie.

But if they never put up the fence, we would not have gotten to spend days guessing why the fence was there...I see the fence as a win-win. :rofl3:

OLAF (who's arms need painting)
 

PLUTO
 

Partially finished DONALD

Mickey is almost done! Just have to fill in the stars on his hat!!!

So, my 10 year old daughter is considered an "adult" when it comes to paying an entrance fee and for meals, but is NOT an adult when it comes time to ride a ride.  Not that she would ever ride anything alone...because (a. she is a scaredy cat and (b. I won't let her.  BUT it does seem that the definition of "adult" is a moving target.

This is my devil dog daisy...she is cute as can be...and she's the devil - but we love her anyway!!!

This could be a game show called "What Happened at the Fort."
 
Teams compete to convince others their theory is correct...or dinner theater...where the whole scene gets re-enacted.
 
You could win a car....or a free night in the lightening-struck meth lab trailer.
 
Just spit ballin' here.

This is our other dog Lucky - - - also a rescue. I had an internet romance with her 12 years ago on the Humane Society Website.  In this picture, she is 16 years old. She is now 17 and 4 months, and really on borrowed time. She has been the best dog, and I can't imagine our home without her.
