Fort Wilderness is addictive isn't it. Good report

Call Jason, he is the man.

You need to try that section in a Camaro with sport suspension, make your teeth rattle.

My A/C is the first thing I turn on as soon as I raise the roof and the last thing I turn off when closing up. It runs 24/7 day and night.

Mine came with an 8200 BTU unit, changed it to a 13,500 unit and it made a big difference. Both units weigh about the same only difference was in height of unit, about 4 inches taller.

Guess they wanted a beach side site. Hope that wasn't a fiend unless they wanted a new rig. TV and trailer are destroyed due to salt water even if it gets no deeper.

I am in too. We have a Dream cruise planned for the weekend before Thanksgiving so I will pay close attention.

How are they training the gators not to cross that fence?

I bought a pop up w/AC, 8500 BTU but after one trip decided it was not big enough for Florida summers, replaced it with with one I bought from Adventure RV, 13,500 btu and it works much better. I have a small camper, 8 ft Jayco and would not reccommend anything smaller. I run mine all the time when at Fort Wilderness, just adjust temp to feel comfortable.

Might be cheaper to buy a cheap bike from walmart or GoodWill store and just leave it as renting for a week.

Come down when in season and I will load you up. We have several trees of speciality fruit Honeybells, red grapefruit, pink grapefruit, key limes, tangelos etc, just to give to friends. As well as guavas and bananas at times.

In Florida if a piece of land is fenced, iy is the same as a no trespassing sign. Also if a field is under cultivation or use it is considered No Trespassing. I even have signs allowing the Law Enforcement to come on my property at anytime for any reason if they think something is not right. My grove is on a public road with no fence, but it is not open to the public. So legally, Disney can have you arrested for crossing that fence, don't think they would, but could ask you to leave property if they wish.

I think it is a good idea, do I agree with it, don't really know but I hate the smell of smoke and kids should not be around smokers, it sets a bad example for them. On the same line Disney has installed metal detectors to get in, I always have a pocket knife in my pocket (doesn't everybody). If I have my pants on, my knife is in my pocket, have carried one for over 60 years, does this mean I should not visit WDW anymore because I can't take my knife. There is not a rule that everyone agrees with.

Gators make a deep grunting sound, when mad or disturbed they will hiss, you do not want to hear one hiss because you are too close and they are mad. Gators can run very fast 20mph but only a short distance and usually in one direction, don't think you can outrun one they are very quick. I have lived here for over 70 years and have swam in many lakes, never had a problem with one during the day, but have always heard don't go in water after dark because you don't know what is lurking there. I have seen some over 14 to 15 feet long in places where I have been swimming later.

They do come out during daytime, but most often at night. If you go out at night with a bright light, you would be amaze at the number of gator that are around. When hunting was allowed, the hunters always went at night because that is when they are most actively feeding. During the day you usually see them sleeping if you see them at all. I have some old phosphate pits on my property and seldom see a gator during day, but can go there at night and see them all over the place. I bet if you go to Bay Lake ve,ry early in the morning you would see more gator than you would think would be there. T

While they do offer water sports, it is only in daytime. Gators feed mostly at night. Someone splashing in shallow water is an invitation for a gator to come and get it. Never go in Florida lakes after it starts to get dark and be careful around edges of lakes.

Any awning shop should be able to make you the size you need out of shade cloth. I got mine from a strap man at a flea market.

The last two times I was in 1500 loop there were big groups in it, one group must haves been at least 50 - 60 people on about maybe 4 sites with no responsible adults paying attention to what to kids were doing.

Looking good, proud for you. Know it was a lot of work and effort to make it.

They are fairly stout chairs, I weight a little over 300 and have been using one for a couple of years and it is still looks like new.

I saw a craft booth where a person was buying the HF chairs and removing the back piece- it is blank- and using a sewing machine would put anything you want on it. I believe she was getting $50 for the chairs.

Congratulations, do we have to call you Doctor Thrill now?

I like those chairs also and if could get a discount would have the rocking one, just can not justify the price when I can get the non rocking one for about $20 from HF. They just don't say Fort Wilderness on them.

Also He is using it for information about WDW, should be a business expense and tax deductible.

Good start, looking for more soon.
