but no instructions on how to use the convection oven:

 

Thats the kicker about convection ovens, NO one knows how to use them...

I'll 2nd the break adjustment and repack the barrings every spring.  Its not that hard of a job maybe 2 hours.

I'd also add flushing out fresh water system and hot water tank.  We have a rubber roof so I get up and wash it after uncovering it and use a UV protestant conditioner on it.  I'd like to say I wash and wax the whole camper, but to be honest I wash all of it, and wax the front cap and when that done I'm usually ready for lunch and always say I'll come back after lunch and finish up but never do.  

I did find a guy who washes and waxes boats this spring and he did my whole camper for $150 (with 3 slides out).  Though when he was finished I got the feeling I wasn't getting that good of a deal next time.

I would prefer Disney spend some money on fixing Epcot vs building a new park. Worry about what you have first.

I 2nd this.  Epcot was my 2nd favorite part right behind MK.  Now I like MK, then AK.  I what a full retool of future world!! and I want it NOW

Yes the helper is truly a blessing.

Having owned boats all my adult life I can say working on a camper, though not always easy is much easier than working on a boat.  Seems when working on a boat you are always cramped, and working blind.  So far there has been very little that's gone wrong that I haven't been able to repair.  

The key to any repair is having the correct tool, and access to the replacement part.  In January my family and I decided to make a last moment trip down to Orlando.  We couldn't get in to the Fort so we stayed off property (Tropical Palms).

Once we got down to Orlando and hookup up it was brought to my attention that the valve for the toilet was leaking.  Seems when i winterized i forgot to flush to toilet...  A quick trip down the road to Camping World netted to needed part and since I travel with a full compliment of tools I had to old part out and the new part in.  A bit thanks to my helper for watching over me and making sure I did the job correctly.

Its good to hear that people enjoy playing.  I've heard its picked up popularity over the last year or so.

Does anyone here participate in fighting the forces of evil that are trying to take over the Magic Kingdom?  I've been playing for a few years but living in Kentucky and not getting to travel down all that often its hard for me to collect the special event cards.

Currently I have 58 of the 70 cards and have played through all of the game modes (easy, medium, and hard).  Now that I have a small child it will be much more difficult to participate as he's not going to want to follow the story lines.

Thanks for the welcomes all, I have no doubt the whole family will have a great time.  It appears my sister and her 3 girls will also be joining us.  They are looking at getting a cabin for 4 nights.

I've been a Disney fan all of my life (42+ years).  As a young man my family would travel to WDW every 3 years or so.  My father hated it, he hated the hassle, the crowds and lack of peace and quite.  We never stayed at the Fort but I do remember being on the Fort Train to the water park as a young man and have pictures of the family hanging out there.  The Polynesian was the resort of choice for our family.

I never lost my love for Disney and as an adult would travel down every 5 years or so and spend 4 days at the parks.  

Now I'm a father of a totter (20 months currently), and he, my wife and I have been to Disney 2 in the last year.  Both short stays, once 3 days, and once 4 days and we stayed at wilderness lodge, and Grand Floridian both Amazing properties.    We've owned a 48' 5th wheel for 3 years now and have towed it all over the eastern half of the US.  We just made reservations for early October of 2017 for 14 days at the Fort.  This will be my longest ever single stay at WDW, and its going to be with a 3 year old and possible a 1.5 year old.  Traveling with a small child i'm now familiar with and somewhat comfortable with.  Our plan for the 14 days is to get 8 days of park passes and use the other 5 days as relaxation days.  

I'll update as we get closer, we requested loop 700, or 800 as those are near the docks and we will not be doing a golf cart but rather bikes with a child trailer on them.  I believe our in laws are making plans to spend all or part of the time at the fort as well in their Class A but may not get park passes (built in baby sitters??)
