Not only bears, we have other wildlife that get into trash bins, squirrels, foxes, panthers, opossums, hogs, cayotes, buzzards and others are all attracted by garbage.

There have been bear sightings at the Fort from time to time.

I still doubt this.

There have allegedly been sightings at the Fort.  When that happens, a form letter gets posted on the Comfort Station bulletin boards, like this:

 

In this day an age, if there was actually a bear at the Fort, I would expect to see some photos of it.

We saw some bears near the Fort once, and I was sure to get a photo:

I'll have to take your word for it 

You can also take my word for it, entirely different critters out at night than in daylight. Everyone should try scuba, entirely different world under water.

Don't sweat the 2000 loop, it is no worse that the 1500 loop and is our favorite loop for our pop up. Be sure to request a site close to comfort station.

Maybe the BABH is going to be like Perky's Bat house in the Keys. Hasn't attracted a bat since it was built in 1929.

In, bring on the next update

Legoland has their Awesomer pass on sale today for $99.00 usually $149.00 if anyone is thinking Legoland this year. Code is 6093! 

I went from dual wheels to single wheels and back to dual wheels, the stability of the ride and the increased weight capacity and safety of dual wheels can not compare to SRW trucks. It is a little more problem parking, but after you get use to the width, does not really cause any worries. For a 5th wheel, I would not even consider SRWs, that tongue weight will be more than most imagine, I think the last 5th wheel was 1700 lbs tongue weight, but could have been different.

At that price, you could get 2 or 3 of them if you need more waffles at the time.

2001 is in sight of comfort station and is backed up to a stream with no one close to you, we were just in 2002 and that site is just around a curve in the road. No one is walking through or close to your site because of the location and is far enough away from the bus stop that the buses do not brother you, but is close enough to walk to bus with no problem. We decided the first 2 sites in 2000 loop are the best we have ever been in.

Yes, if site is not ready, you will need to park in over flow lot until they notify you, but I have been able to get in as early as 10:00 and have seen some pull in even earlier.

Don't be fooled.  This is just one more way Disney has to spy on me.

Maybe it is their way to keep an eye on the 3000 loop

Take a few minutes to walk through the gardens, it will give you an idea of how Cypress Gardens used to be and is a very pretty area to see. I haven't been in several years, bu my wife and GKs go several times a year. It is just about 20 miles from us. I enjoy the island in the sky ride there, gives a very good view of surrounding area.

Looks like another tradition has changed at the Fort...

I saw him going to the bash on the beach, so he was there.

I'm so sorry. That was me assuming and you know what that means. Please forgive me.

No problem, saw Jen and Chris today, will try to meet some tonight.

Was planning to visit after we ate and when Rita said it was in 800 loop, turned off computer and ate with family. Circled 800 loop could not find group and then later found out it was in 2100 loop. We were in 2137 for supper, just around loop annd did not know it. So missed meeting everyone.

I would choose May over August. I think Judy is still a travel agent, but Jason is the one most reccomended and helps support this board.

Maybe they just had  magical day with pixie dust sprinkled on it. Something sure seems a little odd about it, I have been in several hurricanes and never seen one with no damage to the buildings, even the one designed to stand hurricane force winds usually get a little damage.

Or maybe it wasn't a Category 4, and the media exaggerated the severity of the storm for some reason?

Don`t know, it messed up Haiti and Saint Augustine real good, a well as North Carolina. We didn`t get much here though.

Maybe they have a big crew to clean up and rebuild fast.

I agree with TCD, the buildings look like old shacks, must be built better than they look. I thought a good wind of hurricane force would level most of them. The designers did a real good job of making them just look old and falling in, but with a solid build. 

I wonder how much damage is being done on Castaway Cay.

I heard from a good source that there is not a room available in Polk County.

Siogn up for their coupons and you will get them all the time by e mail and in the snail mail.Also look in the Sunday coupon inserts in the paper.

If there is not a store near you, probably is though there is one everywhere around here, I am planning tp be at Fort Wilderness for Halloween and can pick you up one and deliver it there.
