Grumpy and Grandma

X2..It is well worth it especially if you've never been.

Ok. Lets begin with the fact that Disneyland is about 40 miles from Pasadena CA which translates to about an hour drive with no traffic. So you need to decide if you want to stay near the Pasadena or Disneyland. If you choose Disney, which I recommend, you will fly into John Wayne, SNA. I would recommend the embassy suites north, not the one right next to Disney because its more economical, free mangers reception, and they have a free shuttle to Disney. Yes you will need a car. Regardless of where you decide to stay. Hotels in and around Pasadena will be expensive and probably sell out quickly. If you want to stay near Pasadena fly into Burbank. It's a lot closer than LAX its a lot closer than lax. You might want to consider staying at one of the front gate properties. Disneyland is not like the World in that there are hotels right outside the front gate of the parks. They will run you about the same as the embassy suites but you'll only get two beds not two beds and a pull out sofa in another room. But from the best western at the front gate you can almost see the line of people waiting to enter the park. So it depends on what you want... Close proximity and being able to walk into Disney or comfort, free booze and a nice shuttle bus.
I grew up at Disneyland and know it probably as well as you know disneyworld so ill try to help as much as I can. Have fun and its about time you take those poor disney deprived girls to Disneyland. Lol

Just be glad that they don't have a Fillipino booth pushing "Baluts"....

Here's something weird.
 
The official Disney site used to have very specific information about what type of equipment can go on each level of site.
 
I have an old screen cap from what it used to say about partial sites:
 

 
But now, if you click on the link to get more information about the types of sites, you get nothing.
 
Something must be up.
 
If they are banning tents on premium sites, then they are stupid for having made more than 50% of all the available sites in the Fort premium sites.  From day one, you could put a tent on any site.  If there is a new rule, then more than half the Fort is no off limits to tent campers.
 
When they unfreeze Walt's head, somebody is going to be in big trouble.

Really!  I don't know how they conned us into going back to Enchanted Garden for that limited menu when we could have enjoyed one last buffet at Cabanas.  Oh well....next time. 

I will say based on my observations on DCL that there are lots of CM's around the buffet lines constantly replacing utensils and bringing out fresh food.  If a kid dropped a serving spoon, I bet a CM would see it and pounce.  And the food turns over so quickly that there's a good chance you can wait a few minutes and get a fresh tray brought out.  I didn't notice any unruly child behavior on our cruise...at least not any more than at any restaurant or resort that allows families. 

Bet it's a communication antenna in disguise.

You know this place is definitely not "normal".:wacko:

Just remember our "peoples" can take care of that!

While reading Jason's excellent Disney Fantays trip report,
No you didn't! :)

Thanks DD SIL and GK are here too.

Have a "GREAT" time....

110, really short and narrow, no privacy, right on the curve in the loop
 
 barely big enough for a tent, but they have been known to "squeeze" a class "A" on it. Just like 617 no privacy since your awning directly faces the road and there is also a huge utility box to stare at while sitting under your awning.

"Really Angry Patron".... :rofl3:  :rofl2:

Don't you need  the magic words?  Meeska. Mooseka. Mousketeer...please let the park times guides appear.. :rofl2: .. ..

Not a Kentuckian, but we are not too far North and have camped there occasionally.
Big Bone Lick was named because of the mastodon skeletons and other bones that have been found there. There was a salt lick that apparently drew them to the area.
Here is the wikipedia info.

Well the work on Frontier Way is done.. (If that's the name of the road going from the 4 way to Creekside Meadow) They just milled and repaved that section of roadway.

I wanted to take a moment out and advise people to please make sure who you are doing business with and the terms of doing business with this entity. I had planned a long three weekend camping trip at Fort Wilderness and after reading the rave reviews about Tee Time decided to rent a cart from them. The other day the other family that was going to join us had to back out because their 17 year old son has to have surgery on a torn ligament the week of the planned camping trip. I emailed Tee Time 12 days in advance and asking them to advise me what the cancellation charge would be (I was expecting like 30% or so).
Much to my surprise it was the full amount. They charged my credit card that evening without letting me know. The other family reserved a cart at Disney and ended up paying nothing for cancellation. As a travel agent I expected some cancellation fee based on the wording of the cancellation policy but in fact Tee Time charges the full amount if cancelled wihtin 14 days of the reservation and 30% of cancelled prior to that 14 day period.
Moral of the story - know what you are agreeing to and sometimes what seems to be a good deal isn't. Tee Time isn't a good deal and I will never use them again nor will I recommend them to any of my clients.
Happy Camping!!!
