My girls have been traveling and camping since they were all born, so they are used to car rides and can entertain themselves on long drives. We do a lot of weekend trips but no more than 3-4 hours each way, just so I am home at a decent time on Sundays. We travel to Hatteras every summer and they go to Myrtle Beach every summer with my wife as well and they are fine. My mother on the other hand is getting to be a handful. LOL

When they first merged, they changed a few Kmart's into a Sears/Kmart hybrid which were pretty nice, but they didn't last long. I think they were called Sears Essentials, or something like that.

Not a fan of the EZ Lube caps. The grease does get pushed out, and it also may ruin the seal, and where does the grease go? All over as you drive down the road. I take mine apart every 10,000 miles and grease them and check for wear. Any trailer specific place can do the bearings and brake adjustment and most are cheaper than a camper related place.

 We live near Cape Cod and there are only two bridges over the Cape Cod Canal.  Just like you guys, most of us avoid the Cape from Memorial Day until Labor Day. Some weekends the traffic can back up for miles (on the big holidays it's backed up 20-30 miles)  

That's why when we go up there this summer, we are arriving on a Wednesday and leaving on a Tuesday. I figured it would help me keep my sanity by being a little less traffic.

I have a friend who was a friend of Belle's that played in the Beauty and the Beast on stage at HS and she was slowly removed from there, she than went and worked part time at HDDR until this past year when they told her she was to old for that too. I always make fun of her and say she could be Lady Tramaine, but she says she tried and yup you guessed it, too old. Its a shame, she loves Disney and auditions all the time, but gets nothing anymore.

We went this past year and it was a lot of fun. I don't think you'll be disappointed with the BBQ.

This movie was made to be a Broadway play, I'm surprised that it took this long, but Disney is making the money by extending the franchise.

Can someone clear this up while use their website:

I have a 1 week reservation (2/16-2/23) that I wanted to change to 2 weeks (2/16-3/1). When I try to extend the reservation, it says there is no availability for a Premium site.

BUT, I can add another 1 week reservation for 2/23-3/1 and it works. Which is great and all- but silly and annoying.

The Fort may be sold out for President's weekend, so if you include these dates in your new reservation search, it will say there are no sites for that stay, but after everyone checks out for the weekend, and you enter the 23-31, there are sites.

Careful what you say!  The next version of the Fort will be a 20 story oversized parking garage !

Well that's for the weekenders and now you better stop, you might get them thinking. LOL

There is ample land to expand the Fort or to build a whole new campground.  It's just not going to happen, so there's not a good reason to waste time discussing it.

Disney can make more money going up than spreading out, they can also fit more people.

Thanks TCD, that's what I figured, just wanted to make sure. My wife snapped the picture of me and after I saw it I had to go looking for the one with my mom and me.

Sure looks the same.  Is that a  g-g-g-gun he's holding???  OMG!

Wait till the PC police see that....

So Musket Mickey bad,  Rifle Indian good?    LOL   

I meant is the one on Main St the same as the one back in Fronteirland.

Quick question the first picture was taken on Main St in April 1973 of me(4)and my mom and the second one was this past November back by the Bear Jamboree, are both wooden Indians the same just painted differently?

If you can't get a new one, can your wife or someone you know sew? You could make it into a pillow for the camper?

Yes, I already thought of that idea. It will be around somewhere at least, just not around my neck. LOL

I would, but who do you think I should email, Disneystore.com? I have old shirts I still wear all the time. I have one from the quad nationals at Daniel Boone National Forest from 1999 that is wearing great. My buddy always laughs at me and can't believe I still have it.

Well, my shirt didn't make it a year. I pulled it out of the drawer tonight to wear to work for OT and noticed the collar is pulling apart at the seam. I've only worn it 20 times maybe. I don't know what to do with it now, maybe I'll just use it to wear around the house.

I would think if you do follow the rules people take notice as well and if you do incur a problem, they are more inclined to help you and not the person just being a PIA and not following rules in the first place.

Norm

I would like a Snarky sticker!

Happy to help you spend your money. 

Well he is my favorite character besides Herbie. I obviously like white rounded objects.....anyway it will work well in the camper for the girls.

Thanks, now I bought one.

So Norm, how do you feel about sun tan lotion?

This was one of the great benefits of the weather this year in Nov. we swam every night and we didn't have to go through the hassle and waste of time of going through the ritual of putting lotion on the three of them and us. So much more fun and relaxing swimming at night.

 If they don't make people get out for lightening then that would be the only perk to an indoor water park I could see.  

Another perk is not fighting with kids to put sun tan lotion on, or the horrid smell of sun tan lotion and that stickiness of sun tan lotion, basically anything to do with sun tan lotion. I hate sun tan lotion.

I need a Snarky sweatshirt!

I wonder if many people are postponing their next WDW vacation until the work at DHS is completed.  

We try to go to Disney every 3-4 years and I'm watching to see if completion dates coincide. I haven't decided if we will wait, but I can go without going to HS. I definitely wouldnt waste a ticket to go if not completed.
