My best friend likes the Black Box wines. Do you prefer the Merlot, Chardonnay, or Cab?

Wow. Your wife is very talented! I like Pooh the best.

Hmmm...it would appear as if I need to bring another fridge. One for bacon, one for beer. One thing I can promise everyone. In my entire 61 year old life, I have never run out of beer. Come on by - try to break my record!

I have ordered my sign. All harrassers will be disciplined with a cold bottle of Warsteiner German Beer.

I have been married for 40 years...

Alka-Seltzer is at the top of my list...but I'm just not very good at moderation. :beer:

Perhaps I am naive even in my old age...but why would another site ban someone simply for joining another forum? I am not sure I understand the crime. As I post under "Mikeypro" over there too (my seemingly unshakable nickname is "mikey" and "pro" is the first 3 letters of my rather long last name) - do they have some kind of gestapo unit that checks this forum? Not that I really care, mind you. They are pretty boring over there. Pretty boring...

Come on yall....what did Dave do by not doing?

OK, I must admit that I don't post on forum's very much - although that is probably going to change. I only found out about Fort Fiends recently, as this will be my first Fort Wilderness camping trip at Disney, but ya'll are a hoot! I hope to fit right in over time (especially after my 14 day trip in Nov when I experience the Fort and meet some of you) I have in the past been posting moderately over at the DISboards (45 posts or so), but not in the camping area. I have noted from reading several threads on here that it seems like the DISboards did some bad stuff to some of you. Could som

ABSOLUTELY!!! In September Disney offers free dining for guests staying in the resorts - so ADR's are hard to get. That is also why the transportation can be crowded as you must stay at a Disney resort to get free dining.

Looking forward to meeting you!

That is so true, Lou. On the other hand, all the yankees go back to their resorts around 4ish, and don't return. I personally don't mind the heat at all, but I must admit that we don't have the humidty with the heat like you do. I can walk outside and immediately take a picture in the middle of summer in Atlanta. In Orlando I have to wait 10 minutes until my camera lenses defog!

Well...I just did a double - and the 5 posts are now just one. Looks like the AUsome mods clean up after us pretty well.

Thanks to everyone. I think I will check in early and ride the bike around if a site isn't ready. I'll be there until the 23rd - hopefully I will meet some other fiends. Ya'll are a hoot!

Awesome. Can I borrow your cart :) I will have a bike with me...

So does Disney work like other campsites in that I can kinda pick one out? I do have a preferred site reserved.

That is kinda what I thought...but I was a bit concerned that if I waited until noon I would be in a line of folks checking in at the same time. Is Sunday a big check-in day?

I used to go every September on my birthday, but now that I handle Europe for my company, I can't go in September due to a huge trade show in Amsterdam (ya, pretty tough duty...). BUT, when I did go in mid September the crowds were just silly low. I once rode Pirates of the Carribean 5 straight times without leaving my boat - and I was the only one in it. Just told the CM at the end of the ride that I wanted to go again. This was about 7pm. September is by far the best time to go in my experience.

I am driving down from Atlanta on Saturday the 8th of November and spending saturday night at the Hampton close to Downtown Disney. For some reason, couldn't check in to the Fort on the 8th. So...what is the best time to check in on Sunday the 9th? I am an early riser (5am - it is a curse...), and will not be going to the parks on Sunday. Should I get there early, or take my time and get there later?

I am so looking forward to it. I have 3 1/2 days planned as just Fort Days (one day is MVMCP).

I look forward to meeting everyone as well...just ordered my Fiends sign, so I should be easy to find.

That is great news...Now I really feel at home! I grew up in Huntsville AL, and my first real girlfriend in Junior High was Pat Sullivan's cousin - and that was back when he was playing for Auburn (guess that pretty much ages me). Been an Auburn fan ever since, even though I graduated from UAH.

I actually like the Utah better than the Bayside...but I normally camp with my Golden Retriever, and he needs the sofa next to the bunk in order to jump up to the sleeping area. He is gorgeous, but not very athletic.

I am in Acworth, Lanier almost isn't a "camping trip" for me...but put me down anyway.I have read various comments about "Lou". Guess I need to get to know him. Also need to figure out how to message him. Ummm....I see you are a dawg fan. Sure hope you don't mind being around a Dye Hard Auburn fan.

Ahhh...so you are one of the reasons I can't check in on the 8th
