Like all of FL rain can spotty, pouring on one block and dry the next.  We’ve barely gotten anything today in N TAMPA, but aFB friend was downtown and it looked like it was pouring.

South Tampa SOG has been getting hammered.

I've grown up visiting the fort since the late 70's. We would rarely visit a park there was always so much to do at the fort. I still visit at least once a year and Being a little older now  we've gotten AP's in the last 2 years (never had them before) we would run and hit some fastpasses, but when we come to the fort we just like spending our time there. Theirs always loopin to do and We're close enough to run out for a day trip or a one niter. The fort with no park tickets can be a blessing 😀  you get to slow down and take it all in.

I found a couple boxes at my local Walmart in south Tampa!

Awesome!! Stay hydrated it's gonna be a hot one, looking forward to the pics....

You need to get into the fast lane of cooking and invest in a Ninja Foodie! 

 

The Ninja® Foodi™ | Pressure Cooker That Crisps | NinjaKitchen.com‎

We got the Foodi for Christmas and use it almost daily, it's an all in one, pressure ,air fry, slow cooker ,saute, etc. in eight minutes i can give outback a run for the money on Rib eye. Love it!!

The wife and i got one last Sunday it was really cool to watch, and its a lot more cotton candy than it looks!!

I remember circus world and when it turned into boardwalk & baseball. I was scared to death of that wooden roller coaster i think it was called the hurricane?..

Cool lil blast from the past! Lack of crowds and clothes stood out to me big time. I liked those double decker buses.....saw one at MK Sunday on main street.

Late to the party but in! Looks like you had a good time. When i was younger we used to camp there a lot, glad to see the parks still doing good. Congrats on the upgrade.

I'm late but in!!

Our first trip was fall of 77 to the MK and the Fort. We are turning 65 this year.

My wife and I drove from NY in a van we had turned into a camper.  Drove around the state and visited WDW (with it's admission ticket and A-E ticket books) for maybe 2 or 3 days.

We rode the Fort train, did the Marshmallow Marsh Canoe excursion, marveled at all the things that made the fort unique, loved the water pageant, and saw and heard the breakfast vittles truck visiting each loop.

There was no Meadow rec area or pool (you swam in the lake), no cabins, a lot less loops and no buses, you rode an open tram.

I remember the tram

I'm 43. I think my first trip was 1979. I do remember riding the train. 

Same.

Man!! My first year doing Halloween and I'm already missing out. Rats!! It'll never be the same once the DVC arrives.🙁

Wow!! That could've ended very badly quick!

We scored a cabin this will be my first halloween at the fort, stoked!!

love the pics!! Thanks for taking us along.

I'm In!

I haven't had a problem since you've started

I'm along for the ride, Thanks for sharing! I Love Geyser Point

Yes they still supply the coffee & filters. No k-cup though. You just have to ask house keeping for a resupply.

Happy Birthday All !!
