  1. I kind of liked the 91... Figure in a few years you could have a tow vehicle with antique tags!
  2. In all the years we had a pop up I never stayed in the "partial" hook up loops (as others have said, 1500 & 2000). Even in a pop up I found we used too much water to contain without a sewer site. Even dish washing and hand washing in the sink was too much. Remember, you must contain all water when you are on a partial site and dispose of it in the bath house or in the sewer connection of a full service site. No dumping it on the ground. Like I said, too much hassle for me, it was easier to spend a few extra dollars and have the sewer connection. If you have never been there, the se
  3. Interesting article. We enjoyed the Magic Bands on our last trip. I guess we are somewhat unique, no kids and we only ride a few rides (unless there is no line somewhere). We were able to schedule the rides we wanted and play around between ride times. I found it less stressful than before.
  4. Walt did care about making money. While Roy was the financial guy, Walt understood money very well. Maybe it was politics or he understood how his company could be hurt without cooperation, but he cooperated with the House Un-American Activities Committee and the FBI. He was also very strong anti-union. Most books about him gloss over the warts because to get access to the Disney archives authors had to submit manuscripts for approval by the Disney company. Read some of the unauthorized biographys and you get a clearer picture of the man.
  5. Anybody deal with The Official Ticket Center? http://www.officialticketcenter.us/default.aspx They are listed as an "Member-Exclusive Discounts" for teh Good Sam Club and their prices are a little better than Undercover Tourist. As our visits are sporadic it precludes us from getting the benefit of annual passes. We tend to buy a 10 day hopper/no expiration and use it over a few years. We used up all the park days on our last passes during our Christmas trip so it's time to look for new tickets.
  6. Peco Campers in Atlanta. A great family owned business that sells at great prices. Towables only, no moho.
  7. Well, advice form the internet is usually worth what you pay for it, especially mine. I did a little poking around and here is what I see: Edmunds says the Infiniti with 86K should retail about 14K. I'm sorry, but I think this is another time they are off the mark. Carmax has two 2006 listed for sale, both in California. First that shows there is limited supply, thus driving up the price. The two they list are 2WD 85K miles for $21,599 4WD 112K miles for $19,998 They will move either of them to GA for about $900. I would not worry about 86k miles as long as it is in good shape. T
  8. Neat, but this line is a little too much "we even dressed up as a MagicBand & a Touch Point this past Halloween."
  9. I totally missed it, thanks for pointing it out. Looks much better this way. I really like the total project which as others have pointed out will clear up congestion in this area a lot.
  10. We have camped at Stephen Foster and it is a beautiful park with a very nice campground. It is a little out of the way for someone on an I-10 to I-75 southbound journey as a night stop (north of 10/East of 75). But, if this were a stop of a few days it would be perfect.
  11. You really don't need to have your own government to swap around wetlands, although I'm sure it helps move things along. Wetland swapping and mitigation banking is a big business. Check out the EPA page on Mitigation Banking Factsheet - Compensating for Impacts to Wetlands and Streams http://water.epa.gov/lawsregs/guidance/wetlands/mitbanking.cfm As to Fort conspiracy theories, eventually it will all come down to FW turning a profit that Disney feels is adequate. If they wanted to they could close the 100, 200 & 300 loops and develop all that land outside Big Pine Drive leaving the
  12. At some point Disney will discover that they are pushing a segment of the population and their recreation dollar away with their pricing. For us (adults/no kids) we have been spending more time camping or actually going the all inclusive route in the Caribbean. While you cant make a direct comparison, here is as close as I can get: Disney's Yacht Club Resort Lagoon or Pool View - Club Level 7 nights 3-Day Ticket (2 adults) with Park Hopper Option Premium Plan includes dining, unlimited golf, admission to select theme park tours and the Cirque du Soleil show, La Nouba, and more! Without t
  13. good article, thanks. I am a bigger is better guy, but the nice thing about the Pro Pride hitch I bought is that it is fully adjustable - so even with oversize bars you can customize the amount of lift given to the rear of the TV.
  14. I can just see the rangers scratching their heads trying to figure out if it is acceptable....
  15. Too bad it's not FW compliant.... Oh, and I wish I could afford it http://www.etsy.com/listing/102235702/up-north-custom-outdoor-fire-pit-hand
  16. Funny, Ive never run into the ravenous mosquitoes there. I'm afraid to camp in the row closest to the ocean as I always think I may wake up out to sea. Poor Hunting Island is washing away quickly... Family members used to meet us there and rent a cabin. This is the last one of the State's rental cabins. For those who have never been there, this cabin used to be beachfront (on dry land).
  17. Never been to Jekyll, but how long is the stop? When we lived in the DC area we usually stopped for a few days at Hunting Island State Park on the way to FW. Nice beach front campground, but if you are looking for "activities" they are few and far between. http://www.southcarolinaparks.com/huntingisland/introduction.aspx
  18. As others have said Hybrids are in 1500/2000 all the time. Just remember if you use your tanks (black/grey) there is no dump station at FW. You will have to wander the campground to find and open site to dump your tanks.
  19. First, understand that when it comes to towing not all vehicles of a particular make and model are the same. Towing capacities of vehicles are based on several factors including the vehicle frame type (unibody or frame), engine, transmission, rear end gear ratio, tires/load range, engine cooling capacity, transmission cooling capacity, alternator capacity as well as several other things. So, you can't just go to the lot and see an Armada you like and say - "That's the one". Not sure what year vehicles you are looking at, so I'll use 2014 as and example of tow ratings (from Trailer Life). T
  20. RV Park reviews has this posted abut Agrirama: "Unfortunately they will no longer allow RV parking as of August 1, 2011. We called to make a reservation for August 2nd. We camped here in a Motorhome." New to the area is the I-75 RV Park http://i75rvpark.com/ Literally right off the exit. I have not stayed there but it looks like a great option for easy on/off
