We feel the same. We were going once a year but the pricing is crazy. We love Disney but they are driving us out. So last year we took a 4.5wk cross country trip with the camper and found that entire trip was cheaper than our 10 nights going to Disney. Not to mention we found it much more rewarding. 

It would be a great spot for a kegerator. Forgive my spelling.

I see dead people!!  Looks like there's ghost all over that photo.
 
Perfect for Halloween.

:banana: We have new dates 10/26 - 11/06.   :banana:

I AGREE--- it's the parents faults- NOT Disney,.... They have rules-- parents need to wake up and actually, I don't know,.... Parent?

If there is a single day when you should make a point of being at the Fort, it's Halloween. It really is a lot of fun, especially if other Fiends are there. Of course, I'm usually there too, but don't let that deter you.

Thanks RitaI miss speaking with you also. I wish we had been able to see you at the fort again this year. Ann and I were just talking about trying your divinity recipe again. I'll let you know if I actually make it correctly this time.

Tee Time Golf Cart Rentals owned by Kenny is the best off site cart rental. Kenny is most accomodating and his prices are very reasonable.  His number is
407-276-0809.
Call and leave him a message. He will get back with you.

After exhausting avenues trying to find an owner, we have decided to keep him and help him through his twilight years.  Hope somebody does that for me someday....lol.

110, really short and narrow, no privacy, right on the curve in the loop
 
 barely big enough for a tent, but they have been known to "squeeze" a class "A" on it. Just like 617 no privacy since your awning directly faces the road and there is also a huge utility box to stare at while sitting under your awning.

I must need my head examined

Oh did I mention 88 will win the 500 this year.

If a squirrel comes close enough to me to touch it, it's dinner. Fry it up and make a nice gravy with the drippin's. Boy, howdy.

We finally made it home. Tried like hell to get home quickly today but we missed voting by 3 minutes. So much damn traffic & some bad accidents, it was ridiculous. Anyway it was great seeing everyone again.

Well Trevor won the prize for the most imaginative. He was smiling from ear to ear. So I guess it was worth it.

I wish I had known about Fort Fiends sooner. I could have used the cart rental information. Just got home from a 10 night stay at the Fort. I wanted to rent a cart but Disney's price was not in the budget. I called one off-site cart rental place but they told me they couldn't deliver to the Fort and I would have to meet them off Disney property and tow their cart on a trailer to the Fort and return the empty trailer to them.
I saw some signs for Fort Fiends while riding my bike through the loops and just now got around to checking it out. I hope to go back to the Fort next year and I'll definately be calling Kenny.
Thanks for the great site.

We took our maiden voyage in our new (to us) little motor home the weekend of 9/27-9/30. The MH is a 2006 Forest River Lexington Class C - 26' cutie. I loaded up the golf cart & drove over by myself. The unit drove like a kitten! Rick left work when I left home and coincidentally pulled in behind me at check-in. We were in site 1724 (which we have stayed in before).
I backed in with no problems & we were set up in minutes. Minor set-back was when the battery in Rick's Ford Edge died. Thankfully it is under warranty & Ford had someone out within 20 minutes to jump start him - and then he went to the dealer to get the battery replaced.
As far as the motor home goes, there are some minor changes we are making. The stereo & surround sound are out - $200 fix. Minor plumbing leak - which we were prepared for. I made some black-out curtains for the cab area but didn't care for the closed in feeling it created so we ordered an ADCO cover for the windshield and side windows. It came today & was a cinch to put on. Rick reversed the bathroom door so it no creates a privacy area for the bath & bedroom, which allows more maneuverability when showering and dressing. Little things like creating cabinets in the over-cab area & installing a wireless router. We usually stay in a full hook-up loop and as of yet, no wi-fi so you need to get the modem kit from the front desk. No big deal there.
In the future we will get awnings installed on the two side windows & replace all the day/night blinds. One step at a time.
I'm sorry we didn't stop in to see anyone. My DH is somewhat of a recluse and is very protective of his "Fort Time". I did see Lisa's site on 800 & Dave's site & Stef's site - both in 400. Went past a few times but because the DH was with me, I couldn't stop. He's not as social as I am and every time I went to go looping - he wanted to come so - maybe next time. We are going back 10/11 thru 10/17 and am going to try for one of the first 6 - 7 sites on the right side of the 1800 loop. They sure are pretty. I know Dave will still be there & am going to try to catch up then.
Sorry I don't have pictures yet. Want to wait until it's just perfect before I show it off. The main thing is.... I CAN DRIVE THIS ALL BY MYSELF!!! :jumpforjoy
I have booked a trip up to Tallahassee at the end of November. We've never seen our state's capital & sounded like a fun thing. The best thing about this MH is that it's small enough you don't need to have a toad. Just unplug and go - it's that small. Makes for the perfect MH / day cruiser! I love it!

My first trip to the fort was 1985 & I was 7 yrs old.

There has been a few posts regarding the free WiFi at the Fort. So today, I did a little war driving to see just how much coverage there is.
For those unfamiliar, war driving is where you drive around with a wifi scanner and look for open networks.
A disclaimer: while performing this experiment, I used my android phone and a simple wifi scanner set for constant scan so it picked up the network and strength in real time. I set an alert for Disney-Guest network and guest wireless (the name of the cabins wifi). I drove every loop and all common areas a GC is allowed and walked those areas where GCs are not allowed. My observations are below.
The 100 loop has some coverage from the cabins there. Depending on the equipment used and how tech savvy the user is, you could possibly have wifi in the sites around those cabins. Again, how many sites from the cabins depends on the equipment used. I was able to get a decent signal within 3 sites on either side and the sites directly across from the cabins. Any further and the signal drops quickly. No other open networks were visable.
The settlement signal was decent in the GC parkingbe, the porch, and in front of HDDR. If I ventured any further than that, the signal dropped. There was no signal near the arcade. The antennas used must be directional and pointed in the general direction mentioned.
The back side of 1100 loop, near the cabins on the 2100 loop, has some signal from the cabins. Again, type of equipment will determine how far you can get the signal and how good it will be.
All cabins have wifi in them and it is accesible (I tested 5 different ones). You just need to "sign in" by accepting the terms of use. So if you are near any of the cabins (beggining of 2000 loop) you may be able to get a signal. I was not able to get one in the 2000 loop, but with the right equipment, I can see it as a possibility.
The outpost signal is the strongest one I found and can be picked up at the bus stop. Not sure why this is the strongest one, but it is. They should make the settlment the strongest as more people use that one.
I did not make it to the cabin pool, but I can assume it has wifi there as well.
The main pool, bike barn, and campfire area is covered pretty well. There was only a few places I was not able to get a signal and they were small. I will cover where I lost the signal as opposed to where I had it.
I lost the signal halfway accross the bridge going to the 600 loop. There were a few places in the 600 loop where I was able to get a faint signal, so it is feasible that you could get wifi in the first half of the loop.
I lost the signal near the bathrooms behind the campfire in the 1400 loop. I was not able to get any signal in the 1400 loop, but again, with the right equipment, it is feasible you could get a signal in the sites near the comfort station.
Bob's dock has a good signal as does the porch of Meadow Depot. I was able to make it to bear rock before loosing the signal.
Standing at the end of the pool furthest from the snack bar is where I lost the signal in that direction.
I could not get one, but I can see where parts of the 1300 could possibly get a weak signal. Id need to drag my directional anntenna and laptop out there to see.
Group camp area I was not able to get a signal at all.
No other loops had a signal.
I think I covered all areas.
Now, if Disney is reading this, installing repeaters or transmitters on the comfort stations should cover the entire loop and give ALL of your guests a free wifi connection. If all cabins have been installed, this should not be too big of a project.

We don't need a study. I have a solution. Make all bus drivers shave their heads and paint their scalps bright orange. Paint their ears with reflective paint for night visibility. Bam! Instant safety....Dave style.
You can send that $5 mill of taxpayer money to me, Bob.

Does this sound like what Snarky would sound like?
It's a squeeze horn, about $20.

Oh dear heavens, please do not tell Brian. He's had a light bar complete with flashing blue lights that he's been begging me to put on our Kenny Kart at the Fort for the past 2 years.

Since the start of civilization there has never been a worse idea, and our Bob came up with it.

Do a search over at rv.net. I've never owned one, but I have seen plenty of threads about poor quality and lack of customer service.
