Strawberry Moon

Meacham's or Kissimmee Orlando RV are good RV rental companies with newer models and clean decor. I think Meacham's is official Disney vendor.

So here's what I think I know, and I've been watching this one. The Greenberg thing is a mess, but they may have been very actively undermined by a ruthless competitor who wrote false reviews, lured one or more top employees, and so on. Elite appears to have nothing to do with Greenberg. I think more may be revealed over time. 

Good news! The Siamese cat apparently returned this morning without encountering Mr. Bobcat.

Siamese Cat Reported Missing at Fort Today .  .  . Just wanted to help get the word out on this one. It is making the rounds on some other boards. The cat has a Minnie Mouse collar and escaped from Loop 1700. She escaped to chase a rabbit.

So, are you going to be able to join us?

As much as I want to, we have a school auction event. Trust me, I would rather be with you all. 

How often do you change your tires if your mileage has been low? 

I have found them to be the quirkiest of any group to say the least.

I bet someone could get away with stealth camping at FW for a while. You could just move a tent around every few days and place it in between 2 sites along the canals. Or go totally stealth with a small camo tent in the woods, go in and out of the tent at dark, carry a backpack with a change of clothes to the comfort station, and just chill at the pool and marina all day.

Interesting adventure. Wonder if anyone has ever done this. Maybe loop 1900?

Yes, it is kind of puzzling it has gone on for so long.

What does this group know, if anything, about the lost Jack Russell named Abby in the Fort? There's an entire Facebook page for her now (Abby Jack Russell), she's been lost in Fort Wilderness since November, and is spotted everyday, but can't be caught . . .

Mostly white, with some black spots, and maybe some tan on the face.

I doubt that will happen.  Etsy already covers intellectual property rights in their terms of service for sellers and has a mechanism in place for reporting it.  Disney could very easily file complaints if they wanted to.

Free advertising!! 

I do think you're right that this is a "piece of the pie" thing.  Custom shirts is something super easy for them to do and they already know there's a big market for it.

The free advertising advantage has to be weighed with dilution of the brand. For example, there are some really great vloggers out there these days. But many of them are rather meh to say the least.

Sometimes you will hear them talk about Disney in  a way that suggests that they actually represent Disney in some way, or have some sort of superior knowledge - in a way that crosses the "editorial" line. My guess is that some folks in Disney PR find these cringe-worthy, and may eventually act.

I wonder if the Mouse is jumping into this market with plans to go after the Etsy and similar sellers for license infringement.  They obviously see all the folks at the parks wearing custom shirts, and must be feeling they are missing out on a huge revenue stream.  

I think they have been going after sellers for quite some time. Here's a link to a DIS discussion on this a few years back. https://www.disboards.com/threads/disney-closing-etsy-shops.3323326/   It appears that one of the ways that Disney (and other companies for that matter) go after folks is by sending them a letter after Disney is notified by someone else - the someone else being a competitor of the offender. The assumption is that competitors file complaints to Disney, and then Disney shuts it down. There are still many, many out there using Disney Trademarks and names, and the number grows daily.

800 is very popular with the weekend warriors. Because of the lack of comfort stations,  600 and 700 seem to have less small children. 

I would also consider 1100- its remoteness probably makes it less attractive to the wild crowd

I agree about 1100 for the quiet factor. 800 is a big loop, I think, and gets a lot of travel.

Yes, I live in Georgia. Less than 2 hours from DeSoto.

Welcome to Project 89 AD Phase 1. This was just uploaded yesterday on SFWMD page.

Loop 700 will have new neighbors.

I may be the only one who doesn't understand the map, but what exactly appears to be neighboring the 700 loop?

Please join us if you are able. If you do just let me know what site you book. 

Checking our schedules. I just might! Fun, fun, fun.

We only have 2 kids so I can relate more to just you and INC going to the park. Dollywood never fails. I could sit and people watch and just listen and o music there all day. I think we spent $600 for 4 season passes to both Dollywood and splash country. We plan on visiting 2 or three times this year and it worked out to be a great deal

SOLD!

Oh how I love DeSoto! And the dinner in the lodge is extremely inexpensive. Wine is like $2 a glass. Seriously. It's like walking into 1979.

I have found it fairly easy to get the loop I want, and then once I get there to switch to an available site if I don't like the one assigned. You may not get them side-by-side, but should be able to get them very, very close - even if it means changing it up a bit when you get there.

This clearly calls for buying Dove ones and Mickey ones and doing a full taste comparison.

If you want outstanding ones, buy Dove Bars or Magnum Bars.

Exactly - I like Dove bars from time to time, and how does a Mickey one compare? I guess shape matters after all. 🙃

I don't think I've had one of these since the 80s. What makes them exceptional other than the shape? Are they that good?

Only two?

Aldis you can get 3!

Four if you buy boxed wine, which pretty much equates to what they are selling for $9.

Yeah I haven't seen anything so far that looks as big as 15 stories.

Makes me wonder if the CM scuttlebutt is confusing this with the new Coronado Springs building - which IS in the neighborhood of 15 stories.

That makes sense.
