    BR60103 got a reaction from BradyBzLyn...Mo in Ladies Drive Too :)   
    Dayle drives our class C. She starts in the morning because she's awake and I'm groggy. I'm still going at supper time, but we tend to camp about 3 or 4. Often, she gets 2 shifts and I only get 1.
    One year we came back in a snow storm and she started driving before Detroit and went nearly 400 km (240 mi) because she was behind a big truck and didn't trust going off to change drivers -- home around 10:00 pm.
    I get to park because she goes into the office, having more opions on things than I do. She now will pull out of a camp site in the morning.
     
    Saw a British comedy Last of the Summer Wine last week where the wife loved going camping but hated coming back because she pamicked directing her husband to back the trailer into the driveway.
     
    Not only has Dayle been driving longer than I have, but she tauht me to drive after we;d been married 2 years.

    BR60103 got a reaction from CarolP in First Trip to FTW - Could use some guidance   
    Don:
    We've never had a golf cart at FW. We bring bikes, but last year we didn't use them. Walking is good for short distances (less than halfway up the campground) and you can always get a bus back.
    Can your DDs stand getting to the gate of a park and not going in? There are a couple of nice boat rides if you can do that. Studios to Epcot is our favourite although you can get off at Boardwalk for a bit of sightseeing. (Bus to the studios).
    You can get anywhere on the property by Disney Transit. There are some trips that take multiple changes. Note that Downtown Disney buses do not go to any of the parks. Getting to another resort may be a 2 bus trip but at the other resorts you can do almost anything they offer except swim.
    From FW you can take a boat to MK or to Wilderness Lodge and the Contemporary. The latter is a triangular trip.
    Disney meals are a bit expensive. We're at an age where we can get by on one a day.
    If you need to get the family doing something cheap, look for hidden Mickeys. (see the book) A hidden Mickey is a big circle with 2 smaller ones on top of it. There are lots of them around.
    Second the idea that FW will spoil you for any other campground. On a scale from 1 to 10 it rates a 12.

    Joy, joy... yet another set of bridges to worry about heading to the fort this month. Whatever you do, if you're heading that way, don't miss the 295 exit around Richmond to avoid this mess...
