The Phillies have no nation.  They all turned on each other and became cannibals :mort1:.

Gives new meaning to "Phillie Cheese Steak"  :rofl2: :rofl2:

The DVC is buying out Fort Wilderness.  Reservations already in the system will be honored, but all future reservations must be done using DVC Points.  The cost of Fort Wilderness DVC Points is under review at this time, with pricing expected to be released shortly.

Sounds like Yak & Yeti and Flame Tree are good choices for AK - Do you generally need and ADR for Yak & Yeti?  We have pretty good luck with walking up to some TS - like Plaza - but others are a no-go.

Yak & Yeti is usually a walk-up for lunch - I've done that twice with Mom.  In fact, we went there at 11:55 on Tuesday and were seated 3 minutes later ...

Get the Fried Green Bean appetizer!  You also want to order the Fried Wonton dessert!

April Fools

Monorail loop - hmmm.  Kona for Lunch!  That was easy.

MK - The Plaza, hands down.

AK - Flame Tree BBQ CS; Yak & Yeti TS - I've eaten there three times and never been disappointed by food or service. (Get the Fried Green Bean appetizer and the Fried Wontons for dessert!)

EPCOT - Chef's de France TS; I like the Tangierine Cafe CS

The Studios - Sci-fi Cafe TS; I don't eat CS here!

The best Food Court at WDW for lunch or dinner ... Pop Century  :rofl2:

Knuckle down; buckle down; do it do it do it!

Dole Pineapple Float!  FWIW, you can stack your own Whip at the Polynesian ...

Beaver Tails - why the @#$% did they get rid of the Beaver Tails in Canada?

Three trees came down yesterday, but didn't hit anything.  One almost got the Trading Post ...  I also heard of an awning that got mangled.

My perspective right nw !!!

A plane was flipped over at one of the nearby airports  :rofl2:

BUT, soon you will be seeing this........... :rofl2:

There was a tree downed there yesterday ...

I also had to get a Military License - now I have a Class B with Air Brakes, Passengers & Haz Mat endorsements ....  I get a good laugh watching some people try to back a trailer.  I also think that a regular License should have a trailer endorsement - and have a special license to drive the Class A RVs that are as large as the Class B's I can drive.

Looks like for once the forecast appears to be right.

Didn't someone post that they'd never seen it rain all day at WDW? Well, it has today.

What are you camping in?

5th Wheel Toy Hauler (renting from Donnie)

We are here! 

PureTCrazy, The Momma, my Nephew and I are at THE Fort!  1724 ... and raining  :argh:

& thanks for your service.

Somebody actually commented!    Thanks, it was my pleasure (as well as duty).

Funny how we never heard that during or after Vietnam.  Once it hit the fan in Iraq, Afganistan and then Iraq again, I hear it all the time.

4 days weren't enough!  We go down Monday 3/28 and Don't some back until Saturday 4/2.  April Fool's Day at the Fort!  :worship:

PureTCrazy & I - along with "the Momma" - have decided we want to start camping again!  :rofl2:

Now comes the hard part.  We like the floorplan of the Roo 21SSL (or the equivalent from a different company):

However, these are all so new, that there don't appear to be any used ones on the market - which means the price is higher.  (Not that used hybrids look to be much cheaper than the new ones ... ).  If we are willing to select a floorplan without the added toy hauler section up front, we can go for a hybrid with a similar floorplan in the 19 - 21 foot range.  That would mean putting a GC in the bed of a pick-up or taking it on a utility trailer towed by another vehicle.  Given my health issues, loading a GC into a pick-up doesn't look like a viable solution - and it's also a PITA (pain in the ass).  Taking another tow vehicle - given the current gas prices - would make getting the new hybrid a better deal, IMO, than a used one without a toy hauler - unless we got a fantastic deal on the used hybrid.

Anyone have thoughts or suggestions about this.  Maybe you know where there IS a fantastic deal, etc.

To put the icing on the cake, we haven't seen the Roo 21SSL - or anything like it - anywhere.  If anyone has actually seen one of these, we'd appreciate your input.

Thanks,

Ed

I have a ton from Christmas on my FaceBook account (Ed Russell if you're interested).  Here's a couple:

Argh -- now I've got "Be Our Guest" stuck in my head...and it's only 3 in the morning...the rest of my day is dooooooomed. Someone, start singing "Small World," quick!

...er, on second thought...

There's a great big beautiful tomorrow

Shining at the end of every day ...

Finalizing our 3/28 - 4/1 trip.  Added a 5th to the ressies - Lola ! 

Request in for the 1700 loop with 1600 & 1800 as backups ...

Everybody into the pool! 

(Pets are welcome here too!) 

What do you do with the tadpoles once you have captured them?

Grow them into frogs and have frog legs!  :banana:

I looked at the Roo 21SSL, and it seems to be just what we need ...
