  1. The new bus depot at Disney Springs is now open, as of Thursday. Is pretty nice and seems pretty smooth. The only problem is, if your wait line is at the end you have to walk a mile to get to it. Of course the fort's was the very last one!  It drops of and picks up right behind planet Hollywood. FYI. 

  2. Just left the fort yesterday and I really didn't notice a ton of kids driving golf carts. The only one I saw was probably 13-14yo I would say. There were a lot of overcrowded carts. The most troubling thing is the people driving their cats while openly drinking beer. My family is driving, walking, biking, etc. on those same roads. I think we have a right to not have to share them with someone drinking. Save it for the campsite. Maybe I'm just too idealistic. 

  3. Don't know how new this is, but I never saw it until last night. I also can't speak for its accuracy, but a nice idea anyway. It is located in a weird spot though. It is at the outpost bus depot, facing the road, at the end of the bus stop where busses enter.

  4. Headed to the Fort this weekend!  Woot!  Anyway this is our first trip bringing the bicycles to get around with.  I now there are places to park and lock up bikes near the marina, but what about the outpost depot?  We're leaning towards the bikes but are staying in the 100/200 loop and I'm not sure if its worth it we can't take them all way down there. 

     

    Thanks

  5. There was one at the marina last time we were at the fort. Not a 12 footer by any means! Wilderness staff were very quick to remove the gator and get back to business. They seem to be pretty good at dealing with wildlife issues from what I've seen. I wouldn't let it upset your trip. Have fun!

    Fort Fiends has an app with pics of spots, i found it informative. Check it out. 

    On a side question, we are renting an RV for December, was looking at 400 loop. Did you like it, if so favorite spot?

    I've checked out the app and it is great. 210 was actually on our short list. I always like to get 1st hand knowledge of noises, shade, peivacy, ect.  from folks that had been there if possible. We stayed in 402 and loved it. Easy to park, huge site, close comfort station, close to the marina. Our camper is very small though, so the big site didn't help us much with shade, and there was a little road noise. We just decided to go with preferred over premium this trip. 

  7. Hello all. I did a quick search but didn't see what I was looking for. We're headed to the fort next month and the time has come to request our site. We have only ever stayed in the 400 loop, so I was curious if anyone had some firsthand knowledge of a good spot in the 200 loop. I have heard they are all pretty good, but I'd like to stay away from the b-ball court and the spots right on the road. Any advice would be appreciate . Thanks. 

  8. Camping world was just the first link I saw to copy so you could see what I was talking about.  I've been interested in this for a while.  The negatives I hear about it are pretty consistant.  Most people talk about the screw and/or the nut that it runs through stripping out rather easily.  Is this something that can be replaced with something of higher quality.  Or are the reports of failure over stated?  I think I'm sold on the idea after seeing the recommendations here.  The craigslist hunt is on.

    Seems to me to be more work and a lot more expensive than the board method.

    More expensive by far, but I don't know if I would agree with the more work part.  It seems so simple and quick!  Leveling from side to side is the part of setting up our camper that I hate the most.  Granted I'm pretty new to the game and don't have a ton of experience.

    Thank you everyone - we'll look into both the I-65 and that route through Birmingham.  We aren't really able to time going through Atlanta, but both coming and going we've found ourselves spending hours, like sometimes 2 and 3, just crawling along.  We'd rather add an extra hour driving and know we at least can keep on rolling !!! :rolleyes:

     

    We must be long lost relatives!!

    We too would like to avoid Atlanta - but we're coming in from the West - out of Nashville - anyone got any suggestions for a more westerly route?

    We are coming from just south of Louisville KY and want to avoid Atlanta, as we really can't time our arrival.  We are planning on taking I-65 south to Montgomery, then US 231 through Dothan AL to I-10.  10 to 75 around Lake City/Gainesville then on to Orlando.  The Google says it add about an hour, but honestly I don't think we've gone through Atlanta and not been held up for at least an hour.  Last time through it was 3hr.  Others on here have said its good road, we'll see in May how it works out.
