That is great. The more Fiends the better!
Especially when they bring soft cuddly adorable 5-month-old babies with them. Kristie says I don't have to share the baby if I don't want to.

We have a lot of new folks who are showing interest in this GG so, I decided to post this information to help out.
Lakeside sites: These tend to go quicker than the interior loop sites
W/E/S
Though not right near us these are also Lakeside Full Hook-up sites should you absolutely need one of these sites.
Site 100
Site 109 This is by the day use parking lot and boat launch area
Site 111 Same comments as 109
W/EThere are none left in the loop where we have booked.
Interior Loop sites: Though not lakeside these are still nice. Generally shady sites, open spaces around you and close walk to the comfort station. Generally speaking, you are ok to wait until the 6-month prior date to book these sites. That will be March 27th for our weekend of 9/27-9/29
These are all W/E only
52 Back in site
56 Back in site
A path to comfort station is between 56 and 58
58 Back in Site
60 Back in
70 Back in Near the Playground
72 Back in (Backs up to the playground)
76 Pull through near the playground
78 Back in; near the playground and the comfort station
79 Back in; next to the comfort station
I updated the currently available sites again. Yes, there are more sites available at the campground for that weekend, but these are the ones closest to where we have booked. I did show sites with sewer hookups that are on the lakeside just in case that was absolutely important to someone.
Tomorrow is the day you can book your sites for the official Defeated Creek GG weekend of September 27-September 29th. Booking opens up at 10 am EST.

Because I want you all to be happy with the site you book, I have copied and pasted Carol's concerns about site 70 below.
From Carol 2018 Defeated Creek 2018 thread.
"I really don't recommend Site 70. No sewer, not too level, and right next to the playground. I really need to get one of the lakeside sites next year. I don't "need" sewer, but carrying the small grey water container to the bath house twice a day is a pain."

That's a great site!

Way back even before even going to WWW2018, the WW began planning WWW2019. We are just that dedicated. Well, that and we wanted to get the trip booked before they started charging for the extra parking. Sometimes we have 3 or 4 extra cars that are driven down. So the planning began and we decided upon President's Weekend 2019. At first, there was some discussion of Carol driving Kelly's camper. Myself riding with Carol to Kelly's to get the camper. Alas, my visions of a Thelma and Louise trip to the Fort was short lived when Kelly realized she would not be able to leave until Thursday evening. We had a weekend picked and the planning and Count Down officially began.
Unfortunately, two of our favorite Wild Womenz had to cancel. Mo and Nicole (aka Nuck and Futz) would not be able to join us. Nicole's husband had some medical issues come up. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. He seems to be on the road to a full recovery.
This year we decided to rent a camper from Camper Rental of Deleon Springs. They are one of the places that will deliver the camper to your site. We highly recommend this service. I contacted Dawn and she was quick to answer my messages. Camper rented and we planned how we would all be getting there. Frontier Airlines just recently started flying from HSV to MCO. As it so happened there was a Thursday evening flight. So, I booked that. Kelly flew in from Atlanta. Marty drove in from SC. Sarah flew in from NC. Jen drove in from AL. Gretchen lives practically at the Fort and had the shortest trip. Finally, Carol, the most amazing of all the Womenz began her journey from AL on Wednesday afternoon. Her first stop was to Kelly's where she picked up the golf cart.
She stopped for the evening somewhere in Georgia. She'll have to say where because I can't remember. Then got back on the road Thursday morning and before long she arrived at our site.
The golf cart was unhooked and ready to go.
From my understanding, Kelly's Jason was most impressed with Carol's knowledge when it came to towing.
Meanwhile, Marty had left early Thursday morning and before we knew it she had made it to Florida.
As I said I had booked a flight on Frontier. I had heard some scary things. But truth be told it was a good flight and I would book it again. Now, remember how I said Carol was the most amazing of all the womenz? Well, I only booked a one-way ticket. That's right folks I decided to move to WDW. All right not really. Carol graciously offered that I could ride back with her. We live in the same town. Not only that, but she also took my stuff down with her so I would not have to pay for luggage. She did the same for Kelly's. She picked her stuff up when she got the golf cart.
Before you knew Kelly was at the Atlanta Airport and waiting to board her flight. She wasn't the pilot so she enjoyed this while she waited.
I boarded my flight and awaited takeoff.
Soon after Kelly was on her flight.
In the meantime, Marty arrived at the Fort. She and Carol found their way to the boat dock. If I remember correctly they headed over to MK and then over to TT. Carol was wanting to check on a non-expiring ticket that still had some days left.
At
At some point they also ended up here.
Our flights arrived at MCO and we boarded the DME. It was late so obviously, there were probably going to be more stops than normal. We expected that. What we did not expect was the order of the stops. From the airport, the stops would be GF, WL, CR and finally FW. We decided the heck with that. Kelly used her handy dandy notebook, oops I mean Uber app and we got off the DME at GF and took an Uber to the Fort. Marty and Carol met us up front and took us back to the site. Jen had some last minute distractions and decided it would be best to wait to leave Friday morning rather than drive late Thursday evening. Sarah would also be arriving on Friday morning.

Unfortunately Dave had to cancel his reservation.
