Very nice!

Love it!

That is a lot of visible construction.  Glad I am not staying near those resorts.

I'll forever say "Stupid Judy, Stupid Judy" in honor of Ellen's Universe. No one in my family (except my kids because they aren't allowed to say stupid ? ) can say Judy without saying "stupid Judy"

My son grew up thinking Stupid Judy was actually a name.  I am so glad he doesn't know anyone with that name.

Thank you for bringing all of the info together.

Change is usually a bit melancholy, but I think a Mickey ride would be fun, too.

Now my Odyssey looks so boring!

It's like that just about any weekend now...

Uh, oh.  We usually request the 2000 loop because it is best for my special needs guy.  In past summers it has been quiet - very quiet during the week.

Currently there is no additional fee at the Fort. 1 guest or 10 is all the same price. 

Thank goodness!  I multiplied $15 by 27 nights and almost fainted.

Yum!!  I will be indulging in one of those.

Ugh!  Is there an extra fee at the Fort or are the sites to 10 adults.  

Does this mean I can bill him $15 a night at home?

Here is something I had not considered.  My son turns 18 this summer, so when he travels in the company of his parents he will still be considered an adult?  I don't think I like this.

1500 is the "tent/pop up" loop along with 2000

Thanks.

Yes. Both the 1500 and the 2000 loops had them. 

Thanks.

Ok. I looped all the loops and revisited the 1500 loop as I originally thought it did not have one. 

Every loop at the Fort has one or more of those bag dispensers. 

Thanks for the info.  Does that include the tent/pop-up loops?

I know it'll save then a boatload of $$$ if they use the same/similar ride/build as another park.

But what is the trend of having rides based on mediocre movies?

What is the deal with that trend?  Actually, why are all the new attractions based on movies.  DS and I were just trying to figure out when a new attraction was developed that was NOT based on a movie.  We think it might have been Everest, but would love to hear other opinions.  Be nice to see the "imagineers" put some imagination into the new attractions.

I think the date is coincidence for Chick-fil-a, they usually do cow appreciation on Tuesdays.

That's a nice gesture on behalf of wdw.  

And imho...a classy family. God bless them. 

I agree on both points...

I have indigestion just looking at the picture.

I am hoping to use this on our trip.  Saves me the stress of wondering if my "elopement risk" is still seated at the table while I wait in line or off touring the park on his own.

Thanks for posting.  These pictures brought back many fine memories.

Don't feel bad- I still can't find my way around Disney Springs either- I always ask one of my daughters where I should park, and what route I should take after I emerge from the garage.

All of the locations you named are in the Marketplace area, so take a look at the map above, and you'd want to park in the Lime garage, making sure to drive all the way to the side closest to the Marketplace.  That would minimize your walking.

Also, in my experience, the bus service to Disney Springs is much better and quicker than it used to be, and the buses use a central drop-off for arriving passengers which is a short walk from the stores.

Thanks for the tips.  

We had a dog in out tent loop last summer and I felt so sorry for him.  He was basically alone all day, outside and cried a lot.

We have visited once without my Mom and used the garage.  You are correct that it is a short walk out of the garage, but my sense of direction is abysmal, so I think we walked much further than necessary to reach our desired destination.  We generally go to visit Goofy's Candy Company, Lego, and the Christmas Shoppe and I am pretty sure that I walked in the exact wrong direction after "reading" the map.  Then we became distracted by the Archimedes Screw and lost all of our bearings.  We will be going again in our upcoming trip, so we will give the garages another shot before opting out.

My niece used to be in a corp, so we saw a few competitions.

This is going to be odd since all you will see them do is march and play like in a parade.  No fancy field formations to watch.

 

That is a good point.  So I feel a bit less disappointed.  Thanks.
