AC in A2......Aaron

Let's head to the ole fashioned swimmin hole, shall we?
 
We start out with a classic Disney relic of the past:
 

 

 
I should stop right here and pick it up later.
 
Those pics deserve their own update.
 
But we will continue on..........
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
There you have it.
 
That was a great way to put the lid on this trip back in time.
 
I have finally posted all of the pics that I knew were available to me.
 
Thanks for taking this journey back in time with me.
 
I hope you all have enjoyed the report.
 
I urge all of you who have old pics, especially Fort pics, to come out of the shadows and start your own "Back in Time" trip report.
 
It's been real.
 
Peace, I'm outta here!!

It is time for the first update.
 
What better way to get started than a bit of a tour around the Fort?
 
I can't think of a better way.
 
So here we go.
 
The first picture brings a smile to my face and a tear to my eye all at the same time.
 
Because how could you get rid of something this dadgum cool?
 

 

 

 

 
Wasn't that awesome?  and sad?
 
What moron decided to get rid of that?
 
Anyway.
 
Let's move on to the Meadow on the way to the Settlement area:
 

 

 
We might as well stop in for a hoedown and some delicious fried chicken:
 

 

 

 

 

 
Mom and older bro:

 
Mom and blondie (that would be me):

 
I had blonde hair until I was about 12 and then it turned such a dark brown it looks black in many photos.  Strange.
 

 

 
Someone save them from the Amoeba!!!!!
 

 

 

 
In the next update we will visit a brilliant and wonderful place of yore......

I would just like to say that none of you have had to deal with the Lions your whole lives. Until you have to deal with that steaming pile of crap; lighten up!

Go Irish!
Go Blue!
and as always Go Gata.....

I agree with Dave. I bet salami and cheese were on the menu. Although if she was waving that stuff around I'm sure you would have accepted. Or maybe she assumed you had already had your horse grill you up some hot dogs.

Whoah! Stop the train! Study this photo:
 

 
Is it my imagination or did the Imagineers actually create a scene where the draw bridge is opening while a busload of children is going over it?!?

WTF?!

How did this design become a reality?! Why do all the kids on the bus look happy?! Why aren't they screaming in terror?

His trip ain't over you know how he loves to boycott that place with a Mocha Grande.

How about "Criss-Crossing the Nation in One Last Gasp to See it All Before Both Major Political Parties Ruin it!"
See why I was holding back?

All class. Nice work TCD.
As you (and your TRs) were the reason I sought this place out in the first place, it is nice to know you can respond to negativity and such with class as usual. You are an ambassador for WDW, the Fort, and this forum.
Although you do have negative things to say about WDW and the Fort at times, it is only because you want the place you love and enjoy so much to be its best self. There is nothing wrong with that and in fact, I respect that about you.
Don't let any of this go to your head though. I still like the:
Tigers/Braves over your Rays
Irish/Wolverines over your Gators
Lions over your Bucs
Red Wings over your Lightning.
But in honor of your classy response to Voldyesque posts:
Go Gata!!!!

This one is directed at me, right?
 
This only reaffirms what I said earlier- something ain't right here.
 
There are no rude, inflammatory, accusatory or condescending posts on this thread.  And your reaction is out of all proportion to anything that was said to you.
 
This message board has been around for four years now.  It's a fun place for people to come and discuss Fort Wilderness, camping, Disney and fun.  Nobody bullies anyone around here.  There is no drama here.  I have yet to see a spew.
 
As I said already, I truly hope that you are able to work out your reservation fiasco and that you have a great trip to Disney World.

What a strange conversation/post...

The bench is cool.
Matterhorn closed is not cool.
The monorails do look cool.
The squatty castle was cool for Walt's first try but totally uncool compared to Cindy's place in Florida.
The picture of Walt walking in front of the castle is always cool.
The update was, well, cool.

Watch Mary Poppins?
 
TCD

That sounds like an idea waiting to pop.
 
 
I hear you.  My kids will not be happy about this either.
 
 
Ray needs some assistance corralling a pig.
 
She was cleaning the tank.  I took those pics for that reason alone.  I was wondering why they didn't drain it first.
Nacole needs assistance corralling a pig.
 
 
I say ship them back to China.  We only want American made pigs around these parts.  They probably feed those pigs lead based slop.
 
Weird.....this person you speak of sounds very familiar.
 
It is VERY hard tp argue that.
 
Wouldn't it be cool if they had a new quick serve BBQ place built in the exact place where the Great Piggy Adventure sits?  They could call it the The Great BACON Adventure......an ode to the former attraction?
 
 
Can someone help this lady corral a pig?

Let's head to the ole fashioned swimmin hole, shall we?

Peace, I'm outta here!!

I should just finish this report up quickly.
 
Here is the last update here.
 
As you remember, I was hoping for a treasure trove of River Country pics but I have not located them so this is all you get and then we are done..........
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Did you catch that?
 
Also........this is classic:
 

 

 
So that's it.
 
That is all she wrote.
 
It's very sad when something good comes to an end.
 
Much like when you are packing up at the Fort.
 
But sometimes.
 
You get to go to the outpost and get a late checkout.
 
Or even add an extra day on the end of your Fort stay.
 
And that my friends is pure awesomeness.
 
Much like the last update that I will provide you later today or tomorrow.
 
With 22 pictures from River Country.
 
Sue me.
 
I lied to all of you.
 
Live with it.

Moving on in the Fort of yore......
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Please come on it......the water is fine:
 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Man.
 
I remember having just a ton of fun on that beach.
 
Some of you may remember the hammocks between the trees as well. 
 
We would spend the entire day at that beach.
 
Oh well.....it was fun while it lasted.
 
Next we will visit another thing of Fort times gone by.......

Interesting post.
This float looked familiar to me:

Check out this float from my Back in Time TR:

Love the F&G pics
 
I have noticed that all the Annas look more true to character than all of the Elsas.
 
There will be no more need for you to check on the Iranian tanks in River Country bc I hear they are our buddies after today's deal.  Just FYI.
 
No need to risk Panther attack to check on those.
 
Yuri's disappearance is starting to become a bit worrisome.  Just sayin'.

Moving along inside the friendly confines of Fort Wilderness:
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Remember these?
 

 

 
Now that is old school Fort right there.
 
More to come soon........

We have arrived for a quick stop at Discovery Island.....
 
Take a gander at these:
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Next stop:  Fort Wilderness of yesteryear.......
