Clark W Griswold

We arrived safely and set up camp today...We are in 722 Stop by and say "Hi"

If I put the canopy up against the trailer and don't extend the awning I might be OK but its going to be tight...

Heading out tonight for the trek down to the Fort in the Ol' Family Truckster and I had a question...Though I know its a "shot in the dark" to get a requested site when its sold out I am looking for a premium (pet loop) site wide enough to be able to put a 10'X20' dining canopy up alongside the trailer...My wife wants to set this up to allow us to put the tree out and stay dry as they are predicting thunder storms for a couple of days...We are fans of the 700 loop but any other suggestions?...Thanks!

I will go by with my kids when we set up on Sunday...Thanks for the info and for giving them a heads up...

She's braver then I am!!

Hey I'll chip in a few pins if someone gets the family info...Be there Sunday

She does paper and I'm sure she'll have all her supplies down there next week...

Since the 1 day pass for both parks is close to $600 for the 4 of us we are going to pass this time and hang with the Mouse...Probably catch it on the next trip...Thank you for all the great input!

Hey I appreciate the input...But next time...don't sugar coat it! 

My wife hasn't jumped into the fray yet but wanted me to put a shout out...She is an avid scrapbooker and if anyone is interested in comparing notes and putting a few pages together over the holiday let us know...We will be around the Fort from 12/21 to 12/28...Thanks!~

Thanks everyone for the great feedback!

We're kinda in the same boat....We want to see Harry Potter mainly so we want to make sure the admission is worth it...Is there also something you have to rent to interact with some of the display? Heard something about that but not sure...

Thanks for the advice 

While we are at the Fort over Christmas we plan to spend a day at Universal to see Hogwarts and the "Harry Potter experience" ...Are there any recommendations as what to see, when or how to do it? Any input would be appreciated... Thanks!

Being a Three Stooges fan I would prefer "knucklehead" if it comes to it please.....But I shall try NOT to incur the wrath....

The first rounds on me....

As long as you like cold beer....We'll get along fine!!

Jason was able to get us 2 more days so now arriving on 12/21 and reluctantly leaving on 12/29...Getting home just in time to work on New years Eve...WOOHOO!! But at least spending Christmas at Walley World and the Fort! and hopefully making some new friends!

I know I'm the "newbe" but apps and drinks sounds awesome....

Add my family in...arriving 12/22 to 12/28...Hopefully longer if we can get lucky again!

We'll see you on the 26th...if not sooner...

The Griswolds are heading to the Fort for our first Christmas!...Thank you to everyone on the site who directed me to Jason. He truly worked a Festivus miracle...He has booked us in for 6 days starting on 12/22...Jason, thank you!...If you are in the Fort during our stay feel free to stop by for a cup of nog (or a Sam Adams whichever you prefer)...Now I'm measuring my trailer to see what size tree we can fit inside for the ride down...Ahh let the exterior illumination begin!!...Can't wait to decorate the site and walk around the Fort checking out all the others...Again, thank you Fiends and especially Jason for going above and beyond...I look forward to meeting some of you in a couple of weeks...Cheers!

I have blown several tires on the way to Walley World and once ripped up my wheel well...Another time my wife thought it would be "safer" to stay the travel night at a hotel instead of rest area or Wal Mart lot....That was until 1am when when I pulled in and cut the turn too sharp taking out the Quality Inn sign and a portion of my camper at the same time...The noise at 1am was nasty but no one came out too look...At first we thought maybe we'll sneak out in the AM...But of course that's not the right thing and wanting to set a good example for the kids I went in at checkout and confessed that we were the ones who destroyed their sign...The day manager looked at us and said "I didn't even notice it when I came in this morning"....Big insurance payment but a life lesson for the kids.......No more hotels anymore!!

Thank You very much for your help!

Only time will tell....Its funny when my wife brought up the idea of taking the fam down to the mouse for Christmas I wasn't to keen on it....That was, until I started reading this site and seeing all the awesome decorating that goes on in the Fort by all the campers...Now I think I'm more excited than the kids!
