  1. No problem today, in gate was not working, in up position all day.
  2. Wonder if my magicband will open gate at Fort Wilderness, am going to visit my son there and just wondering if I can open the back gate or if I need to go through guard to get in.
  3. Simple solution. if you have a big rig, request a different loop
  4. Gator tail is tough and chewy, rib meat is better
  5. This is the reason I never insist on some one trying boiled peanuts. There is always less for me and I have to fight for the ones I do get
  6. When using the cooking bag, always turn edges of bag up and not folded down over sides of cooker. This will allow moisture to drain back into pot and not on counter.
  7. I can build you one, but they are not cheap
  8. I noticed last time at Fort, some of the signs that previously said golf carts now say electric carts. Made me wonder if Disney was going to only allow electric carts like some other campgrounds do.
  9. We bought our pup used, had been stored under cover and was over 20 years old in good shape. Small 8' box came with a porta pottie, but we never used it and it does not even go with us anymore. It has served us well, 2 people, sometimes with a couple of GKs along. paid $1000 for it
  10. My son pulls a 33' KZ toyhauler with his 3500 dually diesel. Dry tongue weight is listed at 1800 pounds which would be a load on a 2500. Make sure you have enough truck to handle the load safely, the 5th wheel hooks up faster and tows easier than a bumper pull trailer.
  11. Would have been different if there had been a tent on site, but there were nothing but cars
  12. Was in 1504 one time. There were 4 or 5 cars parked on pad a1502, they were there all day, gone late at night, never saw the people. Probably was cheaper than parking at the parks plus the other perks.
  13. Book a partial site and divide it by ten people and it doesn't cost very much for each
  14. If a hurricane is headed for WDW, the best thing to do is pack up and head either north or south. I have been through several hurricanes and would not want to stay in a trailer in one. Last time one came through here we had several families come to stay with us. They lived in a house trailer and a blockhouse sounded like a better place to sit it out.
  15. I don't think you drive enough to make up the difference buying a diesel. Stop and figure out how any miles you would need to cover the extra original cost
  16. I agree, Ford engineers are the worst. Ford trucks lost me in 1965 when they came out with twin I beam front suspension then the 2 piece spark plug you had to buy a small socket for and a special tool to pullout the broken plug. Also they are the hardest to work on. When I bought my last trucks I would not even consider a Ford
  17. Go for it, you need something to do in your spare time. Price is right and you can always get your money back if necessary.
  18. Joining in late, been at Fort with GKs for a short stay. I always keep a spare key in my billfold to open the doors with, has gotten me out of trouble several times.
  19. Don't try them, they are additive. My wife tried them after we were married and now I get half as many. Also there are different ways to boil them, green peanut and salt are best, but usually all you can get are dried ones which are still good. Also you can get different seasonings, Cajun are popular, but have also had Mexican seasoned which are boiled with peppers in them.
