caveat lector

Surprisingly, that idea is less crazy than this one:
The Guardians of the Galaxy Take the Stage at Epcot – StarLord, and Gamora from “The Guardians of the Galaxy” will join an alien band, taking guests on a journey through the cosmos. The party will feature hits from Awesome Mix Tapes 1 and 2 – fun and favorite tunes from the two movies’ soundtracks – building the anticipation for a new Epcot Guardians of the Galaxy attraction.

Noah Fence, but what business does that show have in the World Showcase? 
TCD

I vote for a joint theater for Morocco and Germany.  They could stage the all new off-Broadway show "Belly Dancing in Dirndls".  It's a celebration of world piece.  
 

Do you have your antenna booster off?
If yes your TV probably does not have the right upgraded digital tuner. Go to the Meadows Trading Post and get a converter box.

I've always called it the Studios. Way back in 1997 on our very first trip, the rumors were starting to circulate that the MGM name was going to be dropped, and the marquees on the buses simply said "Studios", so that is what I've been calling it all along.

Very nice. Hoping for many happy camping trips for you.

Yes.. I love them so.
Not 
That being said... we did love our Jayco, because Jayco was a good company and allowed a local dealer (whom we trusted) to do the warranty work.  Maybe you'll get lucky, in that respect.  Also, the rally that Rennie has mentioned always sounded so nice to me.  Hopefully you won't need many repairs but, if you do, hopefully you'll get a chance to attend one.

It's been almost 10 years since I dipped my toe in the rv pool. This time I went big and hope an I don't live to regret it.  I've heard / read that a 5th wheel is easier to pull than my old bunkhouse TT.  Well, I now have 42 feet of possible proof of concept.  Based on internet postings, I've either bought the best,  worst, or somewhere in between brand.  Forest river seems to have more fans than critics, but I believe it's subjective.  
It's shakedown cruise will be a Fort trip in less than two months (thanks Jason).

Keep your fingers crossed for me.
 
 

Welcome to the Forest River Club. That's a really cool layout. As the kids get a bit older we plan on looking into something similar.
Congrats.

This one of those that falls into the "If I win the powerball" side of the ledger. Would love to do it, but my disposable income isn't quite there yet.

Agreed. I can  make more money, but vacation days with my family Have a limited shelf life. Can't get them back.

I think they still have some TRS-80's in service too:
 

......and I think Disney still runs their reservation system on one 

When some piece of garbage criminal goes nuts and fires a weapon at wdw, Disney can say they have a policy against personal firearms. Pretty simple math.

I wonder if there is a big enough "service animal" vest to fit me.  I could get into the park free, and it would definitely cut down on my wife's stress level knowing that I wasn't at crockets running up my tab.

Yep.  Pet peeve of mine, for the reason that (some) folks are now bringing Fido into parks, restaurants, markets, etc... simply because they don't want to leave them.  I've personally met people, who have flat out told me that they didn't want to leave their pet, so they simply buy (which anyone can do) a "service animal" vest and in they go.  One couple at the Fort, actually went so far to have friend whose a doc, write a letter to say that their 4lb mutt "needed" to be with them for support (just in case anyone asked...but people are so afraid of not being "PC" anymore, that they rarely ask),   This because (he admitted) they didn't want to leave their dog behind.
Service animals, like handicap parking, should be protected.  It's boils my blood, to see people abuse the system because there are people who truly need assistance.  Some, whose lives may depend on it, and there are people who (basically) flick mud on that need because they want to bring their pet with them.   

Let me start with letting you all know there are NO pictures on this mini trip report plus my computer skills do not help in being able to post if there were any.
We did seem to think that this was the busiest holiday season we have been to at WDW so far and we have been there 4 times over the last 8 years so about every other year.
1st  we did Oktoberfest for our Christmas dinner and my oldest son (26) asked why we have never been there before, this is now is favorite restaurant but his mind will change a few times before this trip was over.
2nd We finally got to see Pandora land and yes the theming is wonderfully done, we rode the River ride first and would say we were glad we had a FP as even tho it is very nice it is not worth the wait, day 2 at AK we went to rope drop scheduled at 7am to find out they started letting people in at 6, so when we finally go to the line at Flight of Passage it was all the way to the bathroom area by the Lion King show so overall wait was 1 1/2 hours but I will say the line kept moving so was not that bad. We did get to ride it twice that day with a FP in the afternoon. GREAT RIDE it's just I am not a line person and feel no ride is worth a 5 hour wait.
3rd O'Hana for dinner, guess what? My son changed his mind again on favorite restaurants. We really enjoyed it and plan to return on future visits. Also a  added bonus I got to meet up with Ray here for drinks and we had a great time, Ray thanks for taking time out and coming to meet us, looking forward to seeing you again hopefully somewhere in OK
4th Geyser Point for lunch, we really enjoyed it there plus made for a great break form the crowds, I got the bison burger and as Dave has said before the waffle fries are the best, had a nice spot down overlooking the lake towards  the Fort and highly recommend this spot to all the Fiends I do not think you will be disappointed.
5th kind of a split dinner here, me the wife and youngest met Jason ( Mouse Counselors) for dinner at Via Napoli while is lovely wife met the oldest and went to Cape May for the seafood buffet which by now is the oldest son's new favorite restaurant  ( notice a pattern with him), he was very proud to leave 3 buckets of empty crab legs behind. He resides in New Mexico and really misses the east coast seafood.
For now this is all but there are other things we did that were new to us and will add more later. I will have to say that remembering all we did and trying to report on it is a very hard job, thanks to all the previous folks like TCD, Norm the Troll,  Ray, Dave in Tn. and so many more I can not remember to list I could never do as great a job as they all have done. I just hope our thoughts on things we have done and places we have ate might help someone else in the future. Thanks for reading and sorry for no pictures.

Lou and Dave are here so it's time for the "feats of strength"

It's a Festivus miracle!

Yes, I'm still alive. A little bird told me that Dave was embarrassing himself by doing a TR, so I needed to read how he crashed and burned..........this time. I sure hope he didn't run into Melvin the Moose on his cruise. All we need now is for TnBob to show up. 

Wow, starting the new year seeing an avatar of Cinderella getting arrested. All seems normal to me.....

Ah, the Kitchen Sink. Awesome pic Dave.
