Don't worry about which loop you want, they are all good. I usually stay in partial loop with my pop up if available, sometimes have to go to full just to get a space, let Jason do the work of getting you a site. Christmas will be crowded and you need to go back during a slower time to get full benefit of The Fort, you will have a good time just don't try to do everything slow down and enjoy your stay.

So do we!
I agree you can't think too much about what it is, but it sure is tasty.
That dinner did seem super early, but on the other hand it was nice to have dinner and then go to the show after or do other things. It did seem rushed sometimes but I've also heard that the late seating seems really slow and long. Either way with our little guy we'll be sticking with early seating's for a while.
We always chose late seating on previous cruises too but you are right those long dinners cause you to be there really late. On one cruise I have a picture of me almost asleep at dinner, it was a combination of being super tired, super late and a food coma from all the good food.
The restaurant was really neat and interactive.
Yeah that couch/bed really had us curious, it took a couple days but we finally asked what was up.
I have both and I'd say conch is a lot different. To me conch was always kind of chewey and tough, escargot is not like that at all, super soft and tender and cooked with a buttery garlic!
WBI
Conch is tough and chewey, that is why you usually find it in chowder or fritters and I love both, however a long time ago at least 50 years there was a restaurant in the Keys that served conch steak. It was run through a machine that tenderized it similar to cubed steak and it was still a little tough. We also could get Green Turtle steak at that time

Never tried escargot, but have eaten conch which is a large saltwater snail.

The rides didn't show up until Busch bought it.

The Cypress Garden Ski Team still put on shows. They perform on Lake Mirrow which is about 3 miles away from Legoland, across from the Hospital, and is free to view. It is on the 3rd Saturday of the month and feature many of the original group.

If I were looking to trade TV right now and I am not, it would be a gas model, largest engine available,3.70 rear ratio, 3500 series, single or dual depending on trailer and 2 wheel drive. No power windows or security system. I want a basic truck with ac and cruise control. NO I would not buy an older high millage diesel.

There are almost always discounts for LEGOLAND. I think MickyDs has buy 1 adult and 1 kid gets in free offers right now.

My son has no problem with that turn with his 35' 5th wheel and crew cab truck. It is a very wide road you are turning into. It is easier than going through the main narrow gates and having to get over to the very right lane in a short distance.
-
We have them in Fort Meade also
-
I live about 20 miles from LEGOLAND and have been several times with GKs. I think I enjoyed it as much as the GDs, especially like the miniature scenes and the gardens. Island in the sky is an enjoyable ride.

I have large wrists, have to have my watch band added to before I can wear it and the bands fit me with no problem.

Went to college in that area, Young Harris College, still have friends in the area and go up there when able. Never stayed at that campground, but I like Trackrock Gap Campground. It is up in the mountains between Young Harris and Blairsville. Small winding road up to it, but it also is a very nice place with friendly owners.

You mean he has a day job. I thought his job was to write these trip reports for us who can't afford to travel.

Be careful and watch out for idiot drivers.

20 years, I can't remember that far back. We made 47 last March

In good ole "Taxachusetts" a pack will cost around $9
Some people I know have started to roll their own again. Just different "stuffing" than they used to put in 35 years ago.
At $9 per pack, 1 pack a day = a full month at Fort Wilderness a year.

I pay with cash when we eat at a restaurant, don't let my card out of my sight. Can I not pay the added gratuity and leave tip on table with no problem?

The bigger the trailer, the bigger your TV needs to be.

How about Key West, anyone?
Key West is another adult place, a lot there that kids do not need to see. Other places in the Keys are more kid friendly.

D.C. Check.
Gettysburg and Williamsburg I think is making the list.
St. Augustine? Haven't thought about there but I bet it is really pretty and historical.
Boston is a must do.
Thanks
I spent a week in St. Augustine last summer, enjoyed it but don't think it would be a good attraction for a youngster. A lot of history and not tailored for younger people. But every adult should go at least once.

Been wondering, did you DD1 get the job she interviewed for on the phone?
