    PghBob got a reaction from BradyBzLyn...Mo in Fort Wilderness Food Truck?   
    Looked at it again today.  It sits on a concrete pad and has it's own very robust power supply.  The folks that built it, put on a front end treatment that looks like an old Winnie Brave.  But, the chassis seems more substantial than an old class C RV.  My guess is the folks who built the safari vehicles at AK, did this one as well.  It also sports a Florida plate so it may be street legal.

    PghBob got a reaction from fladogfan aka Gretchen in Well..it may be touch and go people...   
    I feel bad for our southern friends.  At least up here, most know how to deal with it.  Seven degrees here now, but sunny. Best piece of advice I can offer is, stay off the roads until the snow/ice is gone.  If you do need to go out, take a blanket, food (like pop tarts), and something to drink if case you get caught up in a traffic problem.  Good Luck.

    PghBob got a reaction from fladogfan aka Gretchen in Newbie- and first time going to the fort help?   
    We were in the 300 loop last month.  We requested a site near the comfort station, and the site we were given was not far from the CS, however the trail to get there was through the woods and swampy water, covered with tree shavings.  While this was OK for us, it probably would not work well for a motorized scooter.  Make sure that the cast member who assigns your site at check in understands that you need to be near a PAVED path to the comfort station.  Have a great trip.

    x2 !!  Our daughters grew up in the 80s with annual trips to the Fort with Grandpa and Grandma and their Class A along with Mom & Dad.
    When Grandpa passed, the RV was no more as well.  Later, infrequent trips to WDW, we stayed at various hotels on property, but on every trip the girls insisted we take a day, rent a golf cart, and explore the Fort.  We would go looping, eat at Trail's End, shop at the Trading Posts, and take in the campfire and movie.  We would even buy the bucket of Chicken at the Trail's End and find an empty camp site, and eat at the picnic table to try and capture some of what we all were missing.  The girls really missed not staying at the Fort and had all sorts of fond memories like when they learned to ride their bikes there.
    Fast forward to 2012 when Mom & Dad bought a Class C rig.  The girls first comments were "now we can camp at the Fort like we used to".  Now in their 30s, the girls will join us in the Fort at every opportunity.  It is amazing how the Fort impresses young and old alike, and the memories that are created there.  Walt would be happy.
