TN22.....Brady

Folks, y'all need to join me on the Dolly side.  We have cinnamon bread.   

Got the word several months ago that some dear friends were going to Disney from the 14th to the 24th of October.  Soon 2 friends from California decided to join them, then 2 friends local to Orlando, then I agreed to join them...well it turned out to be 10 adults and 4 children! I knew I would have fun, but I also knew the frustration of doing what the group wanted to do would make me nuts.  Solution: take a solo trip from Sep 17th till Oct 5th and get my full Disney dosage before the big gathering.  So on the line to Jason.
Oct Trip was a total no go for the fort.  Had to settle for Pop Century.  Sep trip he got me the dates I needed in a full hook up, but not in the preferred loops I like to stay in.  No worries, I was sure I would still have a blast.  
This morning I get word from Jason that he snagged a Preferred site for my Oct trip!  He handled all the details of swapping out the Pop Century for the Fort.  10 minutes later I get an email from him with my new reservation for the Sep trip as well: he got me a Preferred site for both dates!
No way I could have pulled this off by myself - it was Jason's total commitment to checking availability continuously that snagged me the preferred sites for both trips.  Jason, thank you so much!!!

When renting the alligator feeders, do you have to sign any sort of waiver or do they just give you the paddles and a shove?

Glad to see you are back, along with DIT. 

Cinnamon Bread at the Grist Mill will change your life...most excellent.

We have stayed at both of these. Waltersboro is great for us if leaving late in the evening. If we leave mid day we like the KOA. We like the KOA due to it being closer making the second day part of the trip minimal.

If you want to go further, stop at Jacksonville North / St. Marys KOA. It is on the Georgia/Florida border. We drive it from northern Maryland. They have free pancakes and waffles for breakfast. My husband loves the pancakes and I love the waffles. They make the batter from scratch. Believe it or not, we drive there for the breakfast. The owners are great and you are personally escorted to you site, even at 10:00 at night.

New Green Acres is in Walterboro. Nice stopover, long pull thrus and right off the highway. They also have after-hours check-in and I can't remember them ever being full-up.

My 2 favs in Epcot are La Cava in Mexico and Tutto Gusto in Italy.

X2 Great Smoky Jellystone in Cosby. They even made the top 10 places to stay in TN! Not bad considering the other nine places on the list, they are keeping good company.

Meeting in Gatlinburg yesterday, thought I'd stop and take a pic.

She's a cutie

You could have just asked me. Season 5, Jan 4th.

Could we get 3 non-trip reports in one day? The suspense is driving me crazy.  :banghead:

Possum on the half shell!!!
Wash with lemon juice, season well, put on the grill shell down, cook for 2.5 hours at 375 degrees. Louisiana has a recipe for everything.

The order form listing all the options you ordered as well as interior color. The can send you that via a PDF attachment. Also final price -deposit.

Too bad they can't put Anna and Elsa up there. 

I seem to remember evil spirits in the movie.  Perhaps they'd like to settle into my glass with a couple of ice cubes?

An alcohol version dole wip float would be genius. It would mix a little of capt jacks rum with the aloha isle theme

The newer model has an added thermal sensor that will shut things down if the plugs get too hot. Other than that there is not difference.
They do have the newer model but it is more expensive. For me the thermal sensor was not worth the price difference to me. Mine was supposed to be delivered today but UPS didn't show up due to the weather.

Relaxing outside my camper enjoying the view, meeting new folks as they loop, and sipping on an adult beverage while my DW is spending every waking minute in the park(s). I like to call it my "holding down the fort" while she is taking Disney by storm! LOL

whew! Thanks! That makes the trip report a lot easier to read.
