  1. I'm excited about anything new that Disney does. Will everything be a "homerun".....nope. But it's cool to see people "taking swings." As far as it being structured around AVATAR, a PG-13 movie, someone else's brand, etc., I'm not concerned. I've not seen the movie either. But I do trust a company that has built an empire around a cartoon of a "MOUSE." They know how to make things that people spend money to participate.
  2. Thanks for sharing the pics of the virtual porthole. That is really cool.
  3. Now that I think back, I'm not sure he ever picked up when I called him. However, he always called back and always delivered the cart as promised. This first time developing a new business relationship is usually a leap of faith (on both parties). I've never had a regret working with Kenny.
  4. Seems like the F350 has a better rake (sits a little higher in the backend). After an extensive search, I found an F250 that had everything I wanted, and the dealer wanted to work with me. So, I didn't delay hoping to find an F350. I wish I had more real world experience to relate to you regarding towing. I'm dieing to hook something up to the bumper and pull it around town. The torque on this thing is unbelievable. Yet it can chirp the tires when I hit 2nd and the turbo is churned up. Regarding the Toyota, I test drove several of them. While they seemed like great vehicles, it felt mor
  5. Thanks folks. Your personal experiences have cemented what i assumed.
  6. Has anyone actually purchased the Sun Pass mini for annual trips to Fort? From reading their site, it appears there is a small discount for using it. However, the most attractive part for me seems to be the elimination of stopping at the toll booths and paying cash. Definitely make pulling my TT just a tad better. Am I overstating the "convenience factor" improvement? Is there a way to use the Sun Pass Mini, and not have to stick it on the window. Not sure i want that thing on my windshield the other 11 months of the year to remind me constantly that I'm not at Disney.
  7. I actually find this thread interesting and informative. Like somone once said, "those that don't study history, could possibly repeat it." As with most visits to fortfiends.net , I've learned something. While it's true that you have to weed through some not so great stuff, there are usually nuggets if you look. All parties have stayed civilized.
  8. My only personal experience is with Kenny. He has been excellent each time (and I'm betting will be again at Christmas)
  9. It looks like a great truck. Being a little concerned about the "tail wagging the dog" scenario, I went with the '11 F250. It's a Turbo Diesel with 3.31 gears. On a couple of highway trips, with minimal head winds, I've 20-21 mpgs. Around town it only gets 16-17 mpg, but I'm hoping the diesel hype about them lasting 200,000-300,000 miles is true. I love this thing
  10. If these ideas don't work, I've always had luck with Sevin. It's a dust based application that you sift or blow into the area or on their traffic routes. Always works for me, but I'm thinking about looking into the all natural one suggested by Otter Spotter aka Debbie
  11. I think I have a problem. When I read "something's brewing" I immediately thought beer at MK.
  12. Wow. You find some of the most interesting items. Not sure how we existed before the internet. :cheers:
  13. Cool. A new Fiend joins the group. TCD rockstar status reinforced.
  14. I would have (and have) done the same thing. Sometimes it's the things that you don't do, that make the things you do do so much more fun.
  15. Finally, someone answered the question: "Who let the dogs out?" Sorry. I knew it was bad as I was typing it, but couldn't help myself. :rofl2:
  16. Outstanding TR! I like the way it bounces around between subjects and you do a great job with the narratives. You seem to have a bigger than life personality, and it really comes through on the TRs. Thanks for sharing.
  17. I've been told to take pictures of all your ticket media. I believe (but am not sure) that the serial number on the back could be used to mediate a remedy with Disney. Without that number, I can't see any recourse. Sorry
  18. Wonder if Frank does installs as well. I've wanted an awning topper for my slide for awhile, but DIY seems a litte lofty. Sure would be nice to come back from a fun day at the parks to find it all taken care of. :) Has anyone had this kind of thing done while at the Fort?
  19. We are like those gold fish that grow to their surroundings. :rofl2:
  20. Something to look forward to. Thanks for the update. One of the best pre-shows around. So much stuff to look at. Plus, I still like when the car fails the "brake test," and you take out the cones.
