I just went to my parents' in SW Va. It is right on the border of TN, so usually gas is about .20 cheaper than here in Charlotte, NC. Oddly, it was the same price as here (2.09ish), and one station I saw in TN was like 1.97. That was all on Sat. Then Sun. on my way out, I paid 2.14. So, I don't know what was going on.

Camp equipment/ kitchen
CJHokie replied to swimmarz's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
We have a mostly stocked kitchen with our old kitchen stuff. I even had old dishes, but removed them as 1) they take up too much room and they have to be washed by hand so we just use paper products. Things that we move back and forth: Crock Pot Keurig Toaster oven (we have a cheap toaster on board, but I have Celiac and need my own, plus I use it as the oven whenever possible) So, all 3 of those have been forgotten at some point, either at home or on the camper when we get home. I just bought a $9 coffee maker at W-M last night to keep on board. We will just have to have coffee the -
New ticket offering starting tomorrow
CJHokie replied to swimmarz's topic in WDW and Disney Park Discussions
I almost made a similar comment. One of my fave sayings. -
The way I understand app building is a new release can have bug fixes and new functions, and the release has to be cleared by Apple (in the case of iOS at least.) So, maybe they have been working on several different things for this latest release that will fix the problems with the current version as well as add new features. I see what you're saying, though.

List of Less-Desireable Sites
CJHokie replied to Santa ... Shannon's topic in Fort Wilderness Loops Information
We were in 302, which was an outside site, kinda backing up to the playground. Really hard to get into. One tree had quite a lot of damage from people hitting it. It was the 2nd one on the right when you turn in, and interestingly the site next to us (1st one) was empty the entire week, and this was a busy spring break week. -
Agreed.

That is sad. We loved the party. I still say the Boo-to-You parade is my favorite Disney parade. Wish I could go back during Halloween but the kids are too old to take out of school now.

WDH 101...
CJHokie replied to twiceblessed....nacole's topic in Camper Suggestions: from tents to Class A beauties
Yeah, when we had a pop-up, there was one part of the road in our 'hood that did that every time. -
We went spring break 2014 with 2 other families. There was so much conflicting info at the time about what we could and couldn't do. It seemed no one knew anything. We were all 3 linked together on MDE and couldn't find out if we could share one, so we each bought it because we didn't want to chance missing out on the pics. Of course after the trip we all had access to all the pics. We had also read that you could only get pics (esp. ride pics) if you were with the owner of the MM and not like across the park from them with another kid. Not true either. Sad that a year and a half late

I've heard other people say they like hearing AC too but I can't stand it. I do love to hear rain though. I've even been known to go nap in ours in the storage lot during a good rain.

Pictures of the insides of the remodeled Cabins
CJHokie replied to Katman1356...Jason's topic in Disney and Fort Construction
Our MH has the oven/microwave combo. It works just fine as an oven. I don't think it's a true convection oven, because you don't lessen the time or temperature. It also has a micro/bake setting, which I've yet to find a use for, where you put your stuff in and it microwaves it for a while and then bakes it. It's kinda tricky in how you operate it, like once it preheats (which seems to take forever), you have 5 minutes to enter how long you want it to cook and then start, otherwise it will then shut off and start cooling down. But if you're not inside (or have the TV too loud) when it be -
I love that! I really can't stand the roaring AC in a camper. We did well this past spring and summer on going to places that didn't need AC.

Ah, that makes sense then. Luckily the DEF lasts a lot longer than you would think, so we don't have to put it in that much.

We use truck lanes almost always. Our MH is just too big not to. As others have said, just don't hang out for a while, esp. if there's someone waiting behind you. Do like the truckers and pull up after pumping if you need to go inside again. FTR, we have even been held up by truckers who pulled up and went in. We have the Flying J savings card, but I feel like my husband always has to go in and pay first. That's interesting some of you other posters say you can start pumping with that. So, do you all have an actual Flying J credit card, or just that savings card from Good Sam's? One th

CJHokie replied to Katman1356...Jason's topic in Disney and Fort Construction
Well, that's good you have that to look forward to again. Maybe you were exhausted from the day's events or the movement of the ship lulls you to sleep. I'm a night owl and have trouble getting to sleep, but once I do I'm dead to the world. I think the Bonine I took every day on the Fantasy helped me get to sleep, even though it's supposedly "less drowsy than Dramamine". -

Did you sleep in a regular bed on the Fantasy or the drop down kid one? ;-) I don't recall the Fantasy bed being bad or good. I am one of the lucky people that can sleep on anything and with any kind of noise once I fall asleep. -
New Trash Cans at the Fort
CJHokie replied to ftwildernessguy's topic in Fort Wilderness Loops Information
It's great having teenage boys with us. -
I can't get over how incredibly wordy it is. And no, it didn't catch my interest enough to get past the first paragraph.

LOL. While I think that song might be older than me, I do know it. NM - just googled. I was 1 when it came out! I am old!

New Awning Lights, one of a kind
CJHokie replied to halla's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
Very cute! -
Oct. 1 is a good day. Turns out Virginia Tech also opened Oct. 1, but 99 years earlier, 1872.

Cool. Something older than me! I think my first trip was summer 1986 or '87.

This is the thread that never ends. Edit: my little music notes didn't work.
