  1. Nearly looked into taking the kids to Lilo and Stitches Playhouse while we were there last week, but we were all so tired we didn't. Have a trip planned for early July wondering if it's worth booking them in while we have a drink at the Poly, while we can. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
  2. And Universal although at least they include them with some of the onsite hotels. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
  3. If I stayed in the cabins again I'd definitely try and get golf cart at least until the kids are older and more confident on their bikes. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
  4. Saw it for the first time last week, was good to sit down for a bit. Glad we did it once. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
  5. Thanks figured someone on here would point out whose it was. The downside of the carriage tour is that I wasn't keeping track of which loops we were on. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
  6. Figure I better finish this before I get lost on the most recent trip. When we moved the Disney Springs plans forward a day we thought we might see my wife's cousin on Saturday, so planned to do Trails end for brunch. Got a text from her Friday night saying she couldn't make it mostly due to dog sitting issues. Also on Friday, we realized that one of the magic bands we wanted as gifts wasn't available at DS, at this point the plan for Saturday was to do brunch at Trails End and for one of us to get the boat to the contemporary. Saturday morning there was a lot of fog and the kids were ask
  7. Agreed on the Paperwhite, e-paper screen means its easier on the eyes and the battery lasts longer. I have a 7-inch android tablet that I used to use for ebooks but prefer the paperwhite. It used to be the case that the ebooks from my library didn't work on Kindle but that's no longer true. I am looking at one of the new kindle oasis which is waterproof. My daughter is asking for a kindle when that happens tempted to give her mine and get a new one. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

  9. Originally we kept the Friday free as my wife's cousin was meant to be joining us. With one thing and another that didn't happen, so we moved our planned DS trip forward a day to check out the Black Friday sales. Stores were open early so we got there around 9. Walked past stance on the way from the buses and got dome novelty star wars socks. Then to the lego store. There was a lot of playing before we even started shopping my daughter was a bit bored but picked out some Minecraft lego on sale. Didn't spend enough for the Nutcracker set but did quite well. World of Disney next, it wa
  10. Yeah good point about the rain. After the carriage ride we debated hanging out on the beach but kids wanted to do the movie, got to the campfire part way through the the sing along. Didn't have the smores box with me. Did consider going back for it and cycling over with it, but considered it was easier to buy a kit this once. Got a smores kit, popcorn for my daughter and chicken nuggets for my wife. Lots of spare seats. Once we'd had smores, and the movie Dinosaur had started. I went back to the food truck to get myself something to eat, and chicken nuggets for my daughter who now deci
  11. Legoland has a kids New year's Eve party from the 27th to the 31st at 7pm. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
  12. No I didn't realize that, that works well then early fireworks and then back to where ever we are staying. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
  13. First time we'd done the BBQ, think I actually prefer it to HDDR certainly for younger children. Yep was expensive and no TIW discount on Thanksgiving. My wife said it was like no Thanksgiving she's had before which was kind of the point of the trip. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
  14. Before I start talking about Thanksgiving I feel that I should mention despite celebrating Thanksgiving for the last 13 years (strangely most of them outside of the US), I'm not American and it wasn't something I grew up with. The plans for Thanksgiving probably changed the most. Originally we had Raglan Road booked and had to have breakfast while resort hoping. Resort hoping got dropped in favour of the Thanksgiving activities and Raglan Road got cancelled as I was able to get a reservation at Backyard BBQ. Started off the day with cinnamon roll Turkeys cooked in the cabin. The oven may
  15. Still trying to get the fort booked for dates to cover this, at the moment I'm planning on being at MK on the 30th and Epcot on the 31st although not sure if we'll stay there long enough to watch the fire works.
  16. Did this as well, think we had a discussion about how 'Florida snow' tastes different and you shouldn't try and eat it.
  17. Waited a while for a bus but got back to the Fort around 3. I walked to the cabin while my wife and kids moved the car. I think they may have gotten lost in overflow given I beat them there. First time in a cabin. Was nice using my magic band to open something other the the comfort stations. Unloaded, got the stuff from the cooler in the fridge, is it just me or does anyone else feel that the size of the fridge is out of proportion to the oven. Kids explored I poured myself a beer, the cabin only had mason jars. Then I set up the decorations, yeah should have brought more will next
  18. We headed out about 8 am Wednesday morning and made fairly good time, getting to the fort around 10. I received a text saying our room wasn't quite ready do we parked in over flow and got the bus to Epcot. We hadn't intended on doing parks at all this time, but added in Epcot because of the Christmas stuff. We had to stop at guest services to activate our tickets. Had a trip planned for the end of the year so split a four day ticket between the two. While we were there got my son's DAS pass set up, lines a lot shorter than for guest services inside the park. Will still have to go to gues
  19. I've walked from Wet n Wild to universal. That was the closest I Trolley stop the last time I stayed on I drive. Universal Blvd crosses I 4, wasn't that bad a walk maybe about 20 minutes onto city walk. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
  20. While obviously a bit of a novelty purchase, I must say I liked it. When assembling smores for two children in the dark knowing where everything is, is nice. Also means it all goes back in the box without my bag getting sticky. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
  21. We got it from BJs, it's basically an empty toolbox to hold the smores supplies. There's an insert that holds the chocolate and crackers and the marshmallows go underneath. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
  22. Didn't take the pedals off this time may try it next time. I did pack my bike tools in case I had to adjust the height of anything on my son's bike. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
  23. Getting around to doing the trip report. We only planned this a couple of months ago. My father in-law passed away in August and we figured that it would be a tough Thanksgiving so we'd go away. We looked at a few options but we wife decided the fort would have more of a Thanksgiving feel. Couldn't get a campsite booked so went for a cabin instead. Decided on just two nights due to the cost However my wife's cousin who was talking about joining us couldn't make Thanksgiving but was hoping to join us another day, so we made it three nights. The website was only letting me book a minimum of 6 n
  24. So did I which makes me wonder how well they are enforcing the pet policies. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
