I'd like to add.

If you happen to be using an Andriod phone, and have the google photo app on your phone and have it set to auto backup your pictures to your google account (and why wouldn't you) you can link direct from your photo.google.com account.

1) Locate the image in your photo.google.com page.

2) Click on the photo to "full size it"

3) Right click on it and select copy image address

4) on FortFiends click on Insert other media

5) Select insert image from url

6) right click in the txtx box and select past (this will put the url for the image in the txt block)

7) the URL is very long and silly looking, but at the end add -tmp.jpg

8 ) then click insert into post.

This will work even if your photo.google.com account is set to private, it gives permission for that photo to be viewed from that link only.

6)

With all of the gator-safety concerns, I'm wondering if there is anywhere at the Fort where the kids do any beach play. Trying to figure out whether or not I should pack our sand toys.  

The beach is still open, there is a fence, and some stone work near the waters edge so you cant get into the water but there are still beach chairs, and plenty of sand to play in.

Thanks for all the great replies, to be safe I ordered a 25' extension giving me a total of 50' of power cord. 

Ok friends this should be an easy question for you guys.  I've booked a premium site, our 5er is 38' long and the 50 amp power connection in on the very back of the camper.  I currently have a 25' power cord and hope to pull my camper as far back in our assigned site as possible.  

Reviewing the site diagrams provided by the hard working fokes here I've noticed that the power and water connections tend to be toward the front of the sites.  Would I be advised to pre pruchase a 25 or 30 extension for my 50' plug giving me 50' + to work with?

Thx for all the help.

We had a bit of a wait before it was our turn at the Harmony Barber Shop so we had time to look at the decorations. Anybody know who the guy on the right is? I'll let people answer and I'll post it if nobody gets it.

 

 

George is easy, the one on the right looks like a young Teddy Roosevelt maybe??

As for the hair sprinkles, I have 3 nieces  and I've been forced to take them to the bibbity bobbity boo salon to get made up before Royal Table, and was made to go get pixie dust in my hair..  

On a side note, on our trip in October my son and I are getting our hair cut in the barbershop..  I'm just a bit excited. 

You shouldn't have to re code the android app, Oreo should run any legacy app I'm running two apps that havent been updated since Gingerbread.... 

for those of you that do collect the trading cards..

Will he need the folding seat insert to feel more comfortable on the split seat public toilets?

Well we did a mid day trip to the zoo to test out using some "family Restrooms" that was a lot better experience.  He doesn't mind using the split seats as long as mommy or daddy are there to aid him.  Wish I would have seen the advice on post it notes before going to the zoo.  The auto flush did cause some distress, as did the auto hand dryer.  I'll be adding post it notes to our bag right now....

Sundays my sons 3rd bday, about two weeks ago I spend a whole week with him at home potty training.  It was an overwhelming success.  He now will not wear a diaper witch i'm very thankful for.  This week we are traveling to the zoo, and mall to get him use to using public restrooms and not his training potty.  This has been with mixed success, no accidents, but a lot of yelling and crying about using unfamiliar bathrooms. 

My biggest fear will be keeping up potty training while at Disney in the middle of the month.  What do you do if a child shows signs of having to go while in a ride line?  Can someone hold our place while the other takes him to the bathroom or do we forfit our spot in line?

Looking for some guidance, and advice from people who have been in similar situations. 

do you post for android, or post on youtube?

Love your ride selection in MK and AK...  I see no need to submit myself to abuse by engineers that design thrill rides since turning 35 nearly a decade ago.

egg and sausage English Muffins or biscuits for the morning 

So you precook the egg and sausage then microwave it to reheat it?

We all love travel days,  hitching up and heading out on the road.  If your family is like mine we try to pack food to eat along the way so we can picnic at a rest stop.  So I'm going to give you a few of our favorite travel day recipes and hope you guys will share some of yours.

Lunch Pockets

This is a staple in our house for travel days.

Pillsbury crescent rolls - opened and rolled out a bit

in the center of the triangle add cheese, cooked chicken, lunch meat, pepperoni, turkey or any other items.

Fold in corners place on baking sheet cook at 375 or 10-15 minutes.

Once cool, place in zip lock bag and place in fridge ready for the cooler the next day.

  Spaghetti 

The night before we depart we will make a big batch of spaghetti with meat sauce.   It will get all mixed together and then divided up into several single serving reusable containers.  These will then be placed in the fridge and when we are on  the road they can be opened up microwaved for a few moments and have a hot meal with little to no work.

Not saying its what I'd buy but...

Agreed!!  And I know some people do plan "pool days" to hang out at their resorts, but I wonder how many people do much more than that? Just based on my family/friends that stay at other Disney resorts, it doesn't seem like a big percentage.

I dont think the vast majority of people that stay at other resorts plan for "down days" due to the fact that its costing them $300+ a night per person for the room, and not having the facilities to cook for yourself you are spending another $150 per person on food.

So by cutting your nightly stay by even 40% (camping in your own camper)  you can spend a few days relaxing.

It would be reckless to not have full coverage on a home equity loan with the little bit it costs. One tree, hail storm or whatever puts your real home at risk. 

Damage from a tree, or weather (if the camper is parked) is covered by your home owners insurance policy anyway (if the camper is at home, storage facility, or campground i.e. not traveling).  Your Full coverage for the camper is just to cover the camper while traveling, identical to how your car insurance is.  -This is my understanding, as I just renewed my insurance this last week-

Also the whatever you purchase with the money from the equity loan has no weight on the loan.  People use the to pay off credit card debts, pay for vacations etc etc

A good friend got a 2nd mortgage to purchase his class A.

Advantages to that are, the interest are tax deductible, no need for full coverage on the camper, and extend it out 15+ years.

That would be amazing! Thank you so much!

If anyone has one to spare, our family collects these cards as well. Happy to pay for shipping!

After our trip I will send messages out of how many extra cards I have.  I hope to have about 3 or 4 extras.

So i had made a copy of the fax letter for site request and somehow i've lost it.  Can someone point me in the correct direction.  I've been looking but cant seem to find it again.

I think this is going to be there also, but some links say it's just at Disneyland Nightmare Party.  Oogie Boogie Popcorn Bucket

That would be great, but I saw or heard at WDW they had a Mickey pumpkin head bucket.

I'm excited about it. I don't play the game, but my adult son does. Some years party cards have been repeats of other years, so great that it was a new one. We will be there Halloween, but no parties, so he is going to buy one from eBay before we go. 

We will be there from 13-23 and have 2 nights of tickets, I can pick you one up that way he doesn't have to pay

Those that dont collect or play the game prob are not that excited, but I'd be on the other end of you so my excitement is at like a 8 or 9.  AND i love the country bear jamboree

One more vote for tpms . The only thing that annoys me, is that I didn't buy it day one.

Tpms are a valuable tool.  I recommend buying ones that show the pressure and temp.  You can learn a lot about how to load your trailer by watching the tire temps.
