Ugh.
Too soon.
On the other hand, the TCD twins are pumped about the first MNSSHP.  They will both be working at the MK on Friday.  Twin #2 landed a "treat shift," which means she will be passing out candy at one of the trick-or-treat stations.  She gives out extra candy to Fiends, BTW.

Wow, it's like you have a view into my bedroom...

I have this one from yesterday at Dunkin Donuts.  My comment was just "Why?"
(she didn't appreciate me taking a picture of her car either, lol)
 

By definition, aren't cougers usually a bit older?

We have been going to WDW several times a year lately.  Even if we are staying multiple weeks, we only go to the parks a couple of times each visit.  We enjoy the Fort and guests at the Fort more than the mega-crowds at the parks.  When I talk to CMs or other guests about the Fort, I refer to it as the un-Disney because it is much more quiet and laid back.
We have also noted the umm, lack of up-keep in the parks.  Maybe the large crowds get in the way of routine fix-ups???

If anyone is interested, Dorman has releasted a 7-minute video on YouTube of the highlights of their state 5A basketball win:

Is this better?

 

It has been written on other threads that the theming of Wilderness Lodge is changing somewhat with the upcoming DVC additions. One of those changes is that Silver Creek Falls, the main water feature at the resort, will be renamed Copper Creek Falls. That change made my family sad, as we have a history with Silver Creek Falls, as I'll explain below.
You see, both my wife and I are from a small town in western New York called Silver Creek. And both of my parents grew up there too. So imagine our surprise when we made our first ever trip to Disney with our kids in 2001, during which we stayed at the WL, and stumbled upon this sign.

Those 3 girls are 21, 19 and 17 now.
Six years later we had begun RVing and camped at the Fort with my parents. We took the boat over to the Fort to show my parents the sign, and continued what has become a tradition to get family pictures in front of the sign on every trip to Disney.


Fast forward....most recently, INC and I got a picture in front of the sign while on a date. We also stayed at the Lodge before our cruise on the Wonder this year.

And on our trip to the Fort a few weeks ago, I got one last picture in front of the sign of my parents, who spent part of the week with us. My Dad turns 80 next month.

I figured that might be the end of the story, as the retheming of the Lodge is proceeding at a rapid pace and will be completed before we return to WDW.
But that's not the end of the story.
Wondering what would become of the sign, I contacted the GM of the Wilderness Lodge to tell her about my family's history with the sign and our love of both the Lodge and the Fort. We traded some emails, and she assured me that she would try to find out what would be done with the sign as construction continues. I last heard from her a few weeks ago, and had not received an update since.
Until today.
A large box arrived at our home today. So I opened it.

Mabel is curious too.


Can you believe it? I was blown away. Also included in the package was a beautiful print of Silver Creek Falls, a WL magnet, and a very nice note.
I've heard of pixie dust but this is something else.
Do you now understand why I hate Disney so much? [emoji1]

That's cause they're so tuff they sew themselves up!
Hey they are smart, if they can borrow equipment why buy their own.

I can't speak for the 500 loop, but I don't think you'll have that issue in 400.  We have opposing slide and had plenty of room in the 400.

That's amazing.  Doesn't even look like you spilled a drop Dave.

I thought he loved Gaston?

Nothing new to see here.
People with Class C's and A's intentionally reserve sites in the tent loops to save money. And Disney is happy to take their money.
That 10 person per site limit is also merely a suggestion.  If you want to put 20 screaming teenagers and a half dozen or more tents on one site, come on down.  Park as many cars as you can fit on the site, and set up your tents wherever you can find the space.
Feel free to soup up your golf cart so it can exceed the measly Fort speed limit.  That way you can pass the stopped buses faster.
And please don't feel obligated to actually rent a campsite.  You are more than welcome to unload your coolers, charcoal and other supplies at the 1500 loop bus stop and spend the entire day enjoying the pool for free. You are welcome to use the 1500 loop comfort station to take showers before heading to the free campfire and movie.

We stayed in fort wilderness 2 weeks ago and tried the food truck by the campfire area for the first time. My wife and I both had the 'Fort Wilderness Smoked Pork belly Tillamook Cheeseburger'. Which is basically a bacon cheeseburger with chipotle BBQ sauce on it. We both feel that it was the best burger we have had on Disney property!! It's a fresh burger that was never frozen and it not the same type of burger you get at most quick service restaurants.

I started making a sign today. The sign will be 2 layers so the solid back piece can be painted a lighter color to make the darker brown front pop. Also made a custom pole to hang it on. I just have to finish welding it up and get to painting.

Bobby says the contract for the gondolas has already been awarded.   Low bidder was the same Yugoslavian company who once manufactured the Yugo.

Everything about Rivers of Light, from the circus that has surrounded it the past two years, including the social media frenzy, to the resultant underwhelming show, are the sorts of things that people get fired over.   

The Gaga parts and drones on the roof were pre recorded on 1/30 because of weather and regulations.

Oh brother....those look like the same obnoxious Moms that I always wanted to punch in the nose while waiting for my kid at gymnastics.  Gabbing on their phones, feeding the younger kid some sort of crap from Sonic while big sister is tumbling on the mats but Mom isn't watching because she's too busy on the phone, twiddling with their hair and talking so loud I can't think straight.  Then they get their kid, load up in the big SUV and nearly back over me because they never did get off the damn phone.  And now, we're all supposed to be impressed and in awe that they are getting a "sneak peak" of some stupid theme park land based on a movie that no one cares about anymore.  You want me to be impressed?  Put down the damn phone and do something, anything in your life that doesn't need to be shared on social media like you are some attention starved monkey in a cage begging for a piece of banana.  
Yes, I might have some anger issues today.  Just deal with it.    

You made me go back a page and actually read the whole menu Jen posted.  I hate you.... :)
