Thanks! We're pretty excited. We love Fort Wilderness more than any place. We stayed once in a cabin in 2008 and fell in love. Then we went back to the regular resorts after the little ones were born. Then last year, we drove through Fort Wilderness to look at the Christmas lights and we just ached to go back. My four yr old is Autistic and she is so excited to go "tenting" as she calls it. She's been on cloud 9 for the past week since she realized we were going. Thank Goodness I didn't tell her when we booked the trip last year LOL

We were in a cabin in 2008 too! :jumpforjoy: It was our 1st trip to the Fort and we loved it so much we returned in 2011. We're returning for a 3rd trip but not until 2015. *so far away-sigh* We want to try out a 5th wheel next time. Best of luck and I hope you have a great stay! Oh and :welcome2:

Oh, we're not done yet. Still plenty more to come. Although maybe you're wishing we were done. Ha ha.

Oh no............please continue. I love reading trip reports. It's the next best thing to being there. :laugh:

Loved the Andy Griffith Show and your TR!

And, I've never had a pork chop sandwich- so I really want to hear about that.

  :dropjaw: Well, after seeing the pics, I've not had one like that. My poke chop sammiches usually consists of poke chop + 2 slices of bread :rofl2:

This was my FIRST Troll Report and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. The pictures were great too. I too have typed a lot only to have it disappear on me so now I always type out everything on a Word document and then copy and paste it to where I want it. Saves a lot of retyping. I found myself laughing quite a bit at your expense. *sorry* :rofl2: I'm afraid had my husband and I experienced what you did at the Contemporary that he wouldn't have gotten off so easy. I can just imagine the look on your face when you heard that 'click'. :rofl2: Your description of each experience was so detailed you almost didn't need pictures. I personally know a few Oompaloompa (I'm sure I mispelled this) mamas myself. Thanks so much for sharing. I'll be sure to be on the lookout for future Troll reports. :jumpforjoy

Sorry I'm late..........Loving your report so far. Your kids are adorable! Are the girls twins?

Beets = good

Cream Cheese = good

 

Beets + Cream Cheese = yuck

 

 

 

Yes please!  :)

I have to agree with ya! Am I the only one expecting something on a stick? :)

Cool! Hope ya'll have a great trip!

We have a bunch of loud mouth, cell phone chatting young folks working at ours......that kind of request might confuse them. We don't have a Chick Filet yet; closest one is over an hour away. Can't stand that 'pre-made stuff' the grocery store and Wal-mart calls slaw. Guess I'll continue making my own *sigh*

I'm with you! Born and raised southern by my Grandparents eating plenty of homegrown foods! I made fried chicken, gravy, biscuits, mashed taters, mac and cheese, bread pudding with lemon custard sauce last night- ALL HOMEMADE! Definately not a meal I could eat everyday though. We all just kinda layed around afterwards. :)  :)

We love the Plaza too. I've had the club and the turkey sandwich and really liked them. Think my daughter had the burger and she said "I'm full up" after she finished. :) We were too full to try any dessert afterwards.

Me too! Thanks for posting this. I'm adding it to my recipe box!

Sounds yummy but I'd have to leave out the jalapenos (love heat but not the flavor). I'm making mac n cheese today actually. I saute some finely chopped onion in butter until soft, add some bacon, cream, and cheeses and mix it with the pasta. It's really good (never any leftovers). :D

The slaw at our KFC is terribly dry. Just tastes like a bunch of cabbage that's been chopped up, hardly any taste of any kind of dressing. It was really good when it first opened. My Gran's recipe was quite similar but she didn't use milk, onion, or lemon juice. I still make it that way. I guess the milk would make it a little creamier??

You don't have to worry about having a 'crappy' view from your window. When you're at the Fort, the views are great from every window. :D

Love the name of your report. The pictures are really great. Thanks for sharing!

Hope you have an amazing day! Happy Birthday!

Awesome find!

Looks great! Gonna get the stuff to make it tomorrow! Thanks for sharing Jen!

Thanks for the quick reply! I'm happy to say that the weight limit is adequate... :rofl2:  I think this is something I'd like to try for a future trip. Wishing our next trip to the Fort wasn't so far away....*sigh*

I have a *maybe* strange question. We don't own a RV or pop up or even a tent. *did ya gasp?* :bugeyes: Well, we used to own a tent but it is deceased. :pope: Just for my own personal knowledge, how does a pop up support the weight of a bed plus people sleeping on it? I looked at your webpage, which by the way makes me really wanna rent a pop up for a future FW stay. Those 2 steel bars are all that's needed to support the bed?? Please excuse my ignorance. :laugh:

Someone who has more money than brains.

I agree! I could put a down payment on my Disney vacation with that much $$. Crazy!!

Loving your report so far! Wish I was there myself!! :jumpforjoy

 

Ali was Merida.

 

Up next...

Another day at EPCOT

Both of your children are cuties. Sorry your little boy got sick. Your little girl reminds me so much of the little red-headed girl on the movie Santa Clause (the one with Tim Allen) Loved your report!

First of all, TTC is not MK.

 

MK is MK.

 

The TCD gang's record on an EMH night is 3:28 am (this photo is from 2009) :

 

 

But, Jason is right, we were there for Leap Day last year, and set our new record of leaving the park at 6 am after having been there all night.

 

Here's a photo we took at 5:44 am on March 1, 2012:

 

 

But we didn't leave the MK until 6 am.

 

Good luck beating that, SBD.

 

TCD

Just curious- how did you manage to be in the park that late?

Happy Birthday!!
