  1. We just stayed in 500. We were in the back of the loop, which backs up to the main road. We went out the back of our site to the sidewalk. We mostly rode bikes but found it was an easy walk to the pool or the beach/lake.
  2. I'm horrible at these, but I'm just going to guess in Spaceship Earth.
  3. We have only been to Camp Gulf, which is in that area and we really liked (going back in Mar for spring break). I know there are a few in Navarre, but I don't know about them. Camp Gulf was like FW prices though. I think there are 3 state parks (isn't topsail one?), but I think they book up way out, esp. this time of year.
  4. I know, I wanted to do it but didn't!
  5. Forgot to mention we let the boys do the Sea Raycers not once, but twice. First time was before our friends got there. I was going to make them share, but the youngest insisted on his own boat. I was really kinda worried as those boats are so small out there with everything else. A younger guy working the dock invited me down to take pics. Then the older guy gave them the safety spiel, loaded them into the boats and sent them on their way. Then he & I talked for a few minutes. He was very nice and assured me they would be fine. Next time they went with our friends' kids in 4
  6. Well, we went just last week. Group of 8, only 1 of whom had ever been before. We were seated at a round table in the center. I had my back to the stage and had to turn around the whole time. There was a duet about 3 inches from my face at one point. Boy, was the guy sweaty. As someone into sewing, I spent most of that close-up time checking out how the girl's dress was made. I have Celiac so had to request gluten free. This means I did not get to enjoy the regular cornbread, fried chicken, or strawberry shortcake, but I heard they were all excellent. There was some GF cornbread waitin
  7. We took our MH through ATL last year on our way to Destin. We have a friend who lives in ATL so I was texting him to see if we should get on whatever the beltway is or stay straight through. He said it really varies, sometimes one way is less traffic and sometimes it's the other way. We ended up going straight through. My husband actually bumped side mirrors with a tractor trailer at about 3mph. The guy looked mad and then just rolled his window down and readjusted his. We, OTOH, could not do that as it was the passenger side, so he basically had to stay in that lane until we could get to a t
  8. My kids are teenagers and we have had to pay for them at several campgrounds. But even though the original listmaker said it wasn't a limit, it sounded like a limit.
  9. That was the only thing I was thinking of, and it wasn't even on that list. I read someone's (Carol?) later post about that not working and I see her point, but it seems to work fine at other campgrounds. Yes, I know FW is much bigger than most, but I just don't like their current system, especially if you are camping with other families.
  10. Some people (not me) actually have more than 2 kids, so they're not "cramming as many people" in. Disney is set up for 4 people families. Yes, I know they have suites, but that isn't very economical for some families. So, the campground is actually more affordable for those if they have a camper or tent. So, I don't really agree with your limit (or non-limit) of 4 per site. Most campgrounds have at least 6 or 8.
  11. Better get busy! Looks like you're the heaviest hitter with the posting. (Not the smiley I wanted, but I guess it'll do.)
  12. I was going to mention that too. I saw cars, golf carts everywhere not on pavement. There was one site with 4 tents on it and 3 cars all entirely in the grass (well, really dirt & pine needles).
  13. Yeah, that's what our group did. Our family never made rope drop but still got there early enough to ride quite a bit standby and then ride again later with FP. It definitely pays to get there early!
  14. No, I would think 20 min would be on the high end. More like 10 or 15. Unless there is a shutdown for a while. Or if a bunch of FP people showed up the same time. We were there last week and my husband and son used the Space Mt. FP when it standby was very long (like the range you mentioned), and they only waited 10 min. Test Track is usually a little longer because you have like 3 staging areas you have to go through.
  15. Kinda just depends. I think the FP lines blend in with the standby lines at various places in the ride lines. Some rides we didn't wait at all, others we waited once we blended lines, and sometimes there was a short wait to get into the FP line because you have to scan your Magic Band at the front of that line. Also depends on how many FP people show up the same time as you. Once we waited for like 45 min for Tower of Terror on a FP because the ride broke down after we got in the blended line.
  16. I guess. Oh, one night after the fireworks, my husband was following a cart on the cart path and I was coming up behind on the ped path. The traffic director directed them both to turn left, so I dropped right in behind from the other path, which is like 1-2 ft. away at that point. Literally directly behind them. In any normal world that makes complete sense and is totally safe, but the traffic guy chastised me with, "now, you have to wait for me to tell you to go - we don't know which way they were going." I am not sure which "they" he was referring to, but I'm pretty sure it was the ones
  17. Yeah, that article just made me appreciate being able to come back to my own camper for eating and drinking. We did not spend nearly that much.
  18. Well, I did smell the gingerbread house, but I have a cold, so I didn't smell any of the others. Oh, and the chocolate scene at the WL was behind glass.
  19. FTR, 3/4 of us were on full suspension mt. bikes, so we could ride over pretty much anything. We just thought it was odd they wanted us on the walking path.
