  1. I thought you lived close to Lafayette. If so, there is a Costco there now. Been open for 6 months or more. There is also a Costco in Baton Rouge.
  2. About like seal, walrus, and whale. Greasy.
  3. The other route is to go from Birmingham to Memphis but I-40 across Arkansas makes I-10 across Louisiana appear smooth.
  4. I would recommend I-20 to US 287 to I-40 in Amarillo. Dallas/Ft. Worth is the only trouble area. There is a way around if you get off I-20 and go north a little before you get to Tyler. There is a great and cheap campground at Witchita Falls run by the city with a view of the falls. The meteor site is not much and located in the middle of nowhere so I would not plan my trip around it. All the tourist signs about seeing the "Thing" is just an old Volkswagen so don't get caught by that one.
  5. It is still a safer option than dropping someone off at the intersection and it gets them closer to the settlement. Like I said, "If you have to".
  6. If you just have to drop someone off, drive around the 100 loop and let them out just before the first cabin. This puts you out of traffic and closer to the settlement.
  7. I thought this episode would answer a few questions but it did not and I left with even more questions. I think there was too much humor and it was misplaced at times. Overall it was a good movie and did not feel like 2.5 hours so it flowed well.
  8. Here is a picture with it cross loaded. Cross Loaded Golf Cart
  9. I have done it 3 different ways. On the back of the tow vehicle, cross loaded, that always draws a crowd when I unload. Towing a small utility trailer behind the 5th wheel, which made for a nerve racking drive worrying about being pulled over for breaking the low by double towing. Finally the best way, in the back of our Toy hauler, bought to not have to worry about double towing again.
  10. This year was rather quiet. Being a Tuesday Night played a big part in that, I believe. The most rowdy Halloween's are the ones that fall on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday night. At first look for this year, it appeared that the Fort management tried to downplay "Camp-or-Treat" as they named it, this year. But then on Halloween night they closed down the main road, Fort Wilderness Trail, from the intersection with Peacock Pass to the 4 way stop at Frontier Way and Big Pine Trail to turn the small meadow at the Hitch/Unhitch area into a parking area complete with porta-pottys and a hand washing
  11. Thank You, Thank You, and Thank You. I am holding out hope that December 1st, things open up.
  12. It has been 4 months now. I hope Jason is still working on these request for Christmas.
  13. Does the port Pilot control the docking maneuver or does the ships pilot? I wonder if strong winds caused the impact? And How dare they scratch up my boat like that!
  14. Did the fire really happen or is that the cover story they used to cover the fact that they removed Lago due to Gottfried Tweeting very tasteless jokes about the Japanese Tsunami. Or did his Tweets cause a CM to destroy Lago?
  15. Do you think that once the Toy Story land is finished, that the crews from that project will speed up the finishing of the Star Wars land?
  16. I saw a picture of a Grand Design Imagine set up this morning in their site. Nothing looked out of the ordinary in the picture.
  17. I see reports that I-75 is expected to be shut down due the flooding of the Santa Fe River. http://www.tampabay.com/florida-politics/buzz/2017/09/13/flooding-from-irma-could-close-i-75-stranding-thousands/
  18. So the trick is to make a dummy reservation for 10 days prior to my intended arrival date to cover my actual dates? Not 30 days? yep that's it. I'm not proud of it but I've used that trick once or twice.
  19. FastPasses are almost impossible to get. I was only able to get FP's for the day we check out and that was trying to get them at the 60 day mark first thing in the morning. By 9 am there were none available. What is the trick to getting them? Make a dummy reservation for 30 days at a value resort, make the FP's and then dump the value resort reservation 30 days out?
  20. Our last visit for Halloween, our son was 9. He started out trick-or-treating through 3 loops. He quickly saw that he was traveling with the same group of kids, moving in one blob. He decided he would rather go back to the camp site and give out candy, so that he could see many more kids in their costumes. He had way more fun passing out candy than he did while trick-or treating. So much so that he emptied his treat bag into the bowl to pass out to trick-or-treaters. Keep that in mind. Be sure and stick to one piece of candy per child. Do not just hold out a bowl and let the kids grab. My
  21. I was looking at Lake Magic and for the winter season, their website states that reservations have to be no less than 30 days. Do they do reservations for a week to ten days during the Christmas holidays?
  22. that is the first time I have seen the CM's decorate and ride in a golf cart parade. They looked like they were having fun.
  23. Thanks for reading. Yes, We have had our Grand Design Momentum 355TH since November of 2014. It has been great.
  24. She is slowly getting better. From what she said, by stepping down hard, it hyper extended her knee, and is a common injury. She believes she will be fine in a couple of more weeks. Thanks for asking about her.
  25. I see that we both have the same opinion of the lighting effects. To be TCD is great. You should sell guided trips to Disney. You could make a living for sure.
