Thank you, good thoughts.  I don’t know that finding something here would be the best fit, simply because we’ll probably camp before and after, so the 3 night need (for the cruise) would end up being much longer if we left him here. 
Having said that, I have had a couple of Fiends reach out to me and offer up solutions for taking care of Simon there in FL ❤️

Thanks for the update J.  That was definitely a sweetener that will be missed

The thing that strikes me as pretty hilarious is that years ago "on that other forum" there were loud voices that swore repeatedly that faxing didn't work and if you sent a fax request they were put straight in the trash.  😎

Saw this today and though I would share here. I do not know for certain if this new set up will apply for the Fort but from the way things are described is sounds like it will. It's about halfway down the page but I copied the section here.

Forgot to mention....tish is 4 weeks post surgery of L4/L5 and L5/S1 fusions. She's walked 6 miles 2 days in a row. It wasn't possible before surgery. 

I have updated the printable park maps for Food and Wine and Galaxy's Edge. Disney hasnt posted a new one with Club Cool and Starbucks closed yet.

Bragging rights go to Mikeypro.  He was the first guest to check into the Fort this morning just before 7am. For a time anyway a Fiend has the Fort all to himself. Haha

Bode has a reservation on Friday night. He is so stoked.

Currently staying at the Fort thru Wednesday. There have been reports on a Facebook group that the Fort is closing Tuesday and Wednesday due to Hurricane Dorian. I called several levels of call centers up to Guest Services assigned to handle storm changes and they state currently the Fort is business as usual with no timeline for closing. 

For good measure I went up to the front desk and spoke with 3 front line CM's and the management CM at the same time (this place is dead and they were all waiting and ready to help clients). They re-iterated business as usual. They stated they do have a plan in place IF it is needed but with the hurricane moving at 1mph it would be premature at this point. 

The manager said the best thing you can do is to make sure you My Disney Experience app is up to date,  your reservation is linked, and you have push notifications turned on. IF they need to contact people about a closure they will push a notification out to the affected people instructing them to contact Disney with regards to the situation. 

If and as I hear any new information I will update this post so we have it all in one place. 
 
 

Having a great time. I am flying home Sunday. I move my flight as soon as I saw MCO was ceasing operations at 2 am Monday. 

Of course you would. You are just as nuckin futz as I am . lol

So the night before last I never fell asleep. Had to be up at 3:30 to shower and head to the airport for my 7 am flight. I cant sleep on planes. Got here and set up with friends who are letting me borrow their hybrid for the week. Went to Disney Springs to pick up my ticket and meet the owner of Mouse Counselors to use some free tickets he got to the NBA Experience (if you like basketball or really love it the place is cool. Me not so much but I took picture to share with clients) then had dinner at Homecoming. Came back to the camper and worked till 9. Then I crashed. Hard. My alarm was set for 3 am. I apparently turned my alarm off during the night. Didnt snooze it, or acknowledge it, turned it off (have I mentioned I have a history of doing things in my sleep?) Woke up at 5 and missed the beginning. By the time I got there the land had closed so I joined the virtual queue and got boarding party 27. Got my notification I could enter around 8:20. Took a little bit of playing and swapping some options around but got my live stream running. Here is a link to the video posted. 
 
 

I'm sure they are all service animals....

I have already decided my left kidney is not needed and will be selling it to pay for this whatever the pricing ends up being. WDWNT though has had some knocks for putting out anything that will get them clicks lately but this has been speculated pricing for a while. It may be my only trip anywhere for the year but it will happen. 

On the website it specifically says it does not hve to be used on consecutive days but they do have to be used up with in the date range.  A 2 day ticket gives you 4 days to use it. For example purchased for the 22 is good through the 25th. 

I recorded this while we were checking off an item on the bucket list and staying at the Grand Floridian recently. It's relaxing but long. Enjoy!

If it is the same page I am thinking of, that TA has a staff of five people and they spent almost every minute of those days on the phone and computer.  Because of this fact, I use TAs now and let them do the work because I just don't have that amount of time.  I understand they get paid to do that, but if I want to go on a busy time, I don't have the patience either to deal with the show.

True, but the good news is that they get paid by Disney, not you.  🙂

Let Jason do the work... He likes pandemonium🤣

4 new promotions were released today for select dates in fall of 2019. 

I have all the offers on my Facebook page if anyone is interested in seeing them.
