May 31st was the latest word,

We heard a crew shortage.... better ask a bus driver.....

I think that is in reference to ADA type Mobility scooters. There are now some out that have 2 seats.   

Glad you had a good time and that the in-laws enjoyed the trip as well.  Thanks for posting..

Fantasy and the Wish at PC..

Up and running, thanks to Super Geek (Chris) for reworking the program.

For any Fiend who'll be at the FORT.

The only campsite loops that are somewhat close to the cabins are 1100, 1200 & 1300 premium,  2100 Full hook-up and 2000 partial hook-up.  So it depends on which level of site they reserved as to how close together you may be able to get.  The cabins that are in the same close vicinity are 2300 and 2400.  

I know some did not like him, but apparently he knew who helped him succeed.  This was his post on Twitter.
 
Just spent 3 days
@WaltDisneyWorld & was reminded (yet again) what makes me so proud of
@disney …our cast members! Thanks for taking care of me all these years. Thanks for your talent, your commitment & the gratitude you expressed. I am deeply grateful to all of you!

Thank you for sharing your adventures and have a great time on your trip to CA and your cruise... Always a fun thing to do.

Sounds like you're having a good time despite all the new restrictions and systems that need to be dealt with.
Grandma and I still enjoy the TIKI Room and probably since it was one of the first attractions we saw when we were at DL in 1969.  (I know we're old). It was our first trip to the park together since she came to visit me when I was stationed in San Diego.

Sure you can post a TR here.... Once a FF always a FF.  Looking forward to more updates.

You have to remember that the locals also book weekends as soon as they can. All the years we were there many sites were available during the week but on weekends the FORT filled up with the same people and the majority were FL plates. Once the 499/500 day hits they are booking for their weekends, so if you want 10 days somebody probably already has the weekends on both ends of that reservation.  We never had issues either, but we always had a TA take care of it.  
The lack of open sites is happening across all campgrounds not just the FORT, just go on any RV blog/forum and many are complaining about the lack of availability in State parks and Private parks. RV sales have sky-rocketed the last 3 years.  
Let Jason work on it, save yourself the hassle.

Well we're back and I will do a modified report as soon as possible since we have the holidays coming up. One thing I will mention now is, we were the longest "post shutdown" cruise of any Cruiseline. 

On the Wonder for the East bound Panama Canal.  Only 850 guests on board, 27 kids and outnumbered by the crew, 920.
