Zombie thread!!!!

I saw something like these on FB or something, so I decided to dumb it down to my level.  Mason jar, tissue paper, craft store bag of moss, LED tea lights, and google "fairy silhouette."  Print to size, assemble.  The tissue paper covers up the plain paper, which is turned inside out (printed image faces into jar) to hide it during normal light.  Moss provides interesting shadows and hides the "magic" from prying eyes, and cut the tissue paper longer at the top to shield it from the top.  I can explain to my younger one that fairies are very private and you don't want to scare them.  Thinking of adding bells so they jingle a bit when carried.  Also thinking of a boys' version with maybe some kind of baby dragon or fire salamander shadow.  Going to give them to the girls first night there.

I saw somewhere else that the check in time at the campsites is not the 15:00 that they have on the website.  We will be "checking in" on arrival at about 0900 just to get magic bands activated and free parking at one of the parks.  If they'd let me pull in then I'd be thrilled, but the texting sounds like a great option too.  We also decided it was looking a little frantic, so we got reservations at the Trails End for Sunday night.  The laziness is creeping in already...   I wouldn't mind breaking away to set up, but I'm also training the ladies on tent and dining fly setup.  Hoping that will keep them busy long enough for me and my trusty power drill to throw down the jacks.  

How late are the Publix and Winn Dixie open?

Headed down for last week of the month.  And THANKS for the pointer on the shopping, I meant to ask that above.  Will look into the floormat, as the one I was all happy to get from Amazon the other day is pretty much just a huge mousepad.  Major disappointment.

Hi! I'm new. Kind of. Been to WDW about 5 years ago with daughter #1. Stayed at the lodge (pre camper days). Daughter #2 is now getting old enough to enjoy it (4 next week), so we're coming back with our new love of camping. 

My plan is to arrive bright n early and get into one of the parks, let the kids burn off some energy, then head over to the campground about 4:30 pm. Set down the camper (TC), set up the fly, get some dinner going while we get settled. We're reserved in a "preferred" loop, which I think means 100 or 200 loop. Also, planning on grocery shopping in town that first evening after the ladies all get settled in site. 

Campsite will consist of unloaded Truck camper, screened fly over the picnic table (next to camper?), and a family sized tent to act as the "play room" for the kids toys, etc at the rear. I'll likely leave the truck out in the lot after I go shopping the first night, just so we won't feel crowded. 

Any holes in my theory or pointers?

Thanks!
