Wow,  what a mess.    

Is this why Disney Quest closed.  Is it going in the same location?

A sure fire clue to scams are the use of words like discount, free,  savings.  Disney does not have any idea how to use these words. 

Move along nothing to see here.

Was going to post a picture but don't want to use photobucket and have not set up another account yet.

Sounds like Disney has paid off the health inspector and all is well again!  

Note, the above post was made as a form of sarcastic entertainment, and it not meant to imply that the Walt Disney company, or its affiliates, has engaged in unethical or illegal activity regarding restaurant operations, health department interactions, or other facets of their food service activities.  

Nice disclaimer but obviously not written by a real lawyer.  A real lawyer would take at least a page and I'd have no idea what they were trying to say.

unexpected maintenance

16 days for maintenance!   Sounds a little more serious than what I consider "maintenance"

Great report as always and so cool Twin #1 got to meet Joe.  

Thanks for the report.  It is nice to hear some positive comments.  That is strange about your hitch lock.  Hopefully Dave is right and some critter took interest.  I had a squirrel knock the loose  end of my safety chains off the tongue and then jumped in a cat litter bucket I had some gear in that was also sitting on the tongue.  When he jumped out of the bucket it fell off and spilled.  If I had not been at the site I would have thought something fishy was going on as well.  

If they replace all the picnic tables with the aluminum ones, they better start handing out little packets of burn ointment with the skiter dope.   I guess we all know what they have been doing with all the aluminum cans they've collecting over the years. 

I'm in

So are the propane grills still out in the loops to use?

entered and I wonder if they would just let us drive there.  It would be faster than flying from Tampa

if winner resides within 250 miles of the Walt Disney World® Resort, air travel will not be provided);

I'm in.  What a fun check in.  We have had a couple of those.  I really don't think I could handle that AK crowd.  So please keep the trip reports coming.  

We used to drive everywhere except to MK.  We had PAPs and would often hop from park to park.  I kept a cooler in the back with drinks and stuff to make lunch.  We would also have our water park stuff in case we wanted to hit a water park after an afternoon thunderstorm. (they really clear out after a late storm)  

While the signage on the roads will always get you to your destination it's not always the most direct route. Being your first time I would recommend using Disney's transportation system. I think it has gotten better over the years and it gives you some down time for planing your next move.  Also not sure they still do but they used to make large tow vehicles go to the very end of a row in the parking lots making for a long walk to and from the tram.  

Wow!  Looks awesome.  Too bad me and my big butt will never get to try it.  The ride is longer than I thought but I bet it seems short when you are on the ride.

This guy is a Real Man of Genius

I don't know he did pitch a tent next to the sewer lift station.

can't wait to see the rest.    

The only redeeming qualities to the 2100 loop for me are:

 If you are camping with other people that want some other level of accommodations.  It’s close to the partial and premium campsites as well as the Cabins.  The best thing is it added a few more campsites, giving me a little better chance to get in the resort.    

We did the pay for an extra day thing once too.  It was nice to sit under the awning sipping coffee while everyone else was packing up.  Grilled up some burgers and dogs for a late lunch/dinner and headed home about 7PM.  It was nice since we didn't have APs at the time.  Normally, when we had AP we would just pack up and head to AK and park in the RV lot.  Guess now that it’s an 11 hour drive home instead of less than 2 hours, we will not be doing that again.

Why use a tablecloth?  It's not like the tables are all that dirty.  I mean, people eat at them, but no one is laying their sewer hoses on top of them or anything.  That's what the grills are for.  

True and I have never seen a picture of someone changing a diaper or pictures of pets with their seat bullseye on the tabletop.

Wow, that’s a heck of a set up for the electrical connection to the food truck.  It looks awful.  Needs a giant fake stump or at least be in a wood fence like the dumpsters.

Aluminum benches!  WTFort I didn’t like the wood benches that replaced the log benches.  I really don’t like these.     

The changes to the all white GAG is a bummer.   I'm sure the bucket guy was just following Disney's lead with the bear proof trash cans and hung all their food in the tree to keep it safe from all the bears.  

I/m FiNdn Ot woh LittLe of a Sta Wors faN i aM.  HowEveR, The drunking gam was W O N D ER F U L .    When the fist movie came out I (like everyone else) Thought it was the greatest thing on earth.  It was so far ahead of it's time.  I have liked all the movies in the series but they were just OK.  No way will  ever wear fur in Florida to a park.  But hay they were fun to look at.  Thanks for the show. 

Wow,   They must have gotten a great deal on those grills.  Surprise they did anything but dumbfounded they use such a great Grill.  I guarantee one of those bad boys will go missing. 

I'm in.  and now that I have read the post.   It is good to be TCD.  Great start to the report.  I think you should have stopped on the way back to the fort for a lottery ticket. JediElsa ?  That's just weird.  Won't be supprised to see Disney run with it though.
