    I am going to make a cheaper version of it, I promise, but if you can swing the price, it is worth every cent.
     
    I just have to get Super Geek to get the new printer working to get the transfers going.

    parrothead7368 aka Norm reacted to Momof6....aka Marty in Pre Rope Drop Transportation MK   
    Your best bet is to take a resort boat to the Contemporary.  I believe those start running at 6:30a.  Then you can either take the monorail to MK, which will mean going around most of the loop, with all the stops, or you can just walk over to MK from the Contemporary.  
    Editting to clarify:  The boats from FW to MK start running 30 minutes before the stated park opening time.

    I checked with Larry.  He said to wrap the tire with Eternabond and not to worry about it.

    Could you guys start talking about money trees, because you started talking about coyotes and there was a report today of two in our neighborhood that attacked a dog. Thanks in advance.

    parrothead7368 aka Norm reacted to Avatab.... Steve in CAMP - the game!   
    Hey, good timing!  We were just playing this for the first time last week at our local State Park  
    Our 6 year old loved it and we officially added it to our regular game bin.
    And you're right, it's neat how you can choose the level of difficulty of the questions   
    The 6 year old (he keeps telling everyone that he's SIX YEARS OLD now!  LOL) won 3 out of 4 games so I think we are bumping him up a level our next trip

    parrothead7368 aka Norm reacted to shoreline99 in CAMP - the game!   
    This game is a lot of fun - it's a trivia game about the outdoors. I saw it at California Adventure in the shop across from Soarin', and promptly looked it up and bought it on Amazon for 2/3 the price while I was standing in the store.
    " Education Outdoors Camp Board Game is a game where both children & adults can play & learn fun facts about the great outdoors. The game is designed to grow with the player, starting at level one questions, which are primarily identification of animals. As the players increase in their knowledge about the outdoors, they grow into the higher level questions. A fun & educational game where parents & children can play against each other to get to Camp first."

    There is also a booster card set.
    Our kids have loved playing this game and it has four levels of play for all ages on the same cards.
    Anyone else have this game?

    parrothead7368 aka Norm reacted to YJeepgirl32 in July Camping   
    Hello 
     My family and I will be camping at the Fort in July 2017 with our pop-up and was looking into the idea of an air conditioner. Would like to hear some feedback on anyone who has used an air conditioner and what kind they have used. Any and all help would be much appreciated. Thank you

    Yes it has happened before but it was 30 years ago so I don't think it has much relevance. What will matter more are people like the attorney in SoCal that says he warned Disney about an alligator being aggressive towards him and his son and the CM response was something along the lines of, "Oh they're just pets" and blew it off. If many more folks come out like that with pictures the lawyers will have a field day. While I don't deny Disney has some culpability and know nothing will ever replace the lost child it was an accident that could have occurred any place in Florida. I'd rather see the whole situation be resolved with some dignity and privacy for the child and family rather than the circus I'm afraid it will/has become.

    Leave it on, you'll be thankful you did after you get back form the parks. Also, keep a fan going inside too, keeps the air circulating nicely, we have a tower fan up on a counter all the time.

    My curiosity got the best of me, so I tracked down the post you're referring to, Norm.
    There is no doubt in my mind that is my photo.  I was there early in the morning and the lighting and shadows are identical in both photos, and out of all the sites in that loop, what are the odds that this lady's "sister" took the exact same photo from the exact same angle of the exact same campsite? Plus all of the narrative that poster provided is a summary of my thoughts and observations.  Total thievery I tell you.  For shame!

    I was going to say that is an awfully big spike, and their way of putting the spike on the plaque is kind of sloppy. You can't see wires on my mounting.

    10th post on the first page I said that they were probably going to be full hookup sites, everywhere I had read said they were going to be this tier. I don't see them being preferred, there isn't really anything in the area to make them that, and premium would cost more money for the complete pad, plus anything else to make them wider.

    If they would just stop using the Fort as some kind of training facility for management, maybe things would get fixed. I don't know if this is the case and I've only been there twice, but from reading the boards, this seems to be the case. It seems like most cast members care, but hands are sort of tied by management to do anything. Hopefully whoever TCD met who was obviously very gung ho about his job remains and stays as positive as when he started and things will be great again.
