    fotofx....Steve got a reaction from keith_h in Can you get to wilderness lodge by golf cart   
    I have had multiple heart attacks, high blood pressure, diabetes.... Guess you could say I am high risk... I could go through the rest of my life being miserable or enjoy the time I have left. There is nothing I enjoy more then the Fort and Disney so I am willing to deal with it.

    I am not a big fan of masks..... But... It is Disney's property and Disney's right.. Anyone who does not want to follow Disney's rules should stay home. Your rights stop at the property line.

    Mask wearing isn't just to protect the wearer, it's to protect everyone around you also.
    Just like you can't tell if someone has a disability by looking at them, you don't know if the person next to you that you breath on while not wearing mask has a compromised immune system.
    Someone posted on a FB page, the Fort is being treated like the rest of the Disney Resorts (whether we think it makes sense or not).
    Anytime you leave your room (site) and go into the public areas, you have to mask up except for certain circumstances that are spelled out to you when you book, arrive, and see the various signs around the properties.

    Let me just add.. I do not see Disney banning anyone for life over just not having your mask on. I saw many times that cast members would remind people about the masks if not worn or worn properly. It is what you do AFTER the reminder that creates the ban. If you fight and argue about any rule you will get tossed.

    Yeah I loaded it with options. Plan on this being my last one and hopefully I am not going anywhere for awhile. I wanted the bunks and the two full baths. Both baths are being done in the porcelain instead of fiberglass. Also lots of small stuff, solar, dishwasher, etc.

    Called several but no one called back until the evening.

    I actually fixed it myself. I could hear it clicking but no movement. I beat the solenoid and motor with a crescent wrench and it suddenly worked. Obviously not a long term solution but I was able to head home.

    How many extra fast passes per day do you get for that happening while on board. Maybe they will sell you the three for $50 without actually being on the club level.

    They don't enforce any of the other Fort rules so it is just a matter of time till we see the dogs driving golf carts around.
    Or for that matter I guess they will be in the pool too.

    fotofx....Steve got a reaction from BradyBzLyn...Mo in CONFIRMED:New Uber-like Disney Service to be called Minnie-vans   
    A few weeks ago when Irma came through we had Fort reservations. They ended up giving us Lodge and that activated the app.
    I should add that once you have the option in your Lyft app you have it forever. You can use it to or from anywhere on property.

    Pouring rain on Friday. We we staying at the Fort but going to HHN for the evening. Had a rent a car booked at car care but did not want to unload the cart and drive up to the outpost to get the car care van in the rain. Was nice having the Minnie Van pick us up at the campsite and take us to car care.  Plus because they are cast members they can take short cuts. Exited the Fort out the back (side) way to Lodge and across TTC back to car care. A lot quicker.

    My 9yo nephew was at Epcot with me this past weekend. He was amazed by the lights in the stepping stones. If he is going to have a tablet in front of him it may as well be for a useful purpose. I told him to look up how it is done and gave him a few keywords to use.
    I think the key is to not allow them to just play games. If you use the device like a dictionary or encyclopedia and force them to actually learn with it, there are possibilities.

    Disney just called. Was scheduled to check in tomorrow. She said they are still working towards a Monday reopening but gave me a great deal on Wilderness Lodge.
    I don't want to say publicly what they did but I am VERY happy.

    Several cast members told me no damage other than some flooding that they're pumping out    The guy who fixed the cable TV for the site said that they lost a couple small trees but nothing of note

    I called and spoke to the Fort front desk last night. So far although they have been encouraging anyone currently at the Fort to make other arrangements, they have not been told how to handle anyone checking in on Thursday or Friday. He told me that they would call me in the event the Fort had to close.

    Although I purchased my own cart and no longer need to rent, I have used Kenny several times in the past and he has always gone above and beyond to provide great service.
     
    Something is very amiss here. I do find it telling that you
    Yet you never bothered to register and participate. If you paid with a credit card I would think you could just charge it back and be done with it if you feel you did not receive what was promised.

    Nothing available for Saturday on Thursday evening. (web or central res) Operator said cancels are released right away and they have access to them. Also said that during the busy periods I should reserve WAY in advance.
     
    Tent site available on Friday evening. (central res)
     
    4am Saturday morning I had no problem getting a same day Premium site off the website. Drove up and was on site by 11am.
     
     
    So although is is not reliable or for the faint of heart.. It appears that in this case a same day reservation worked.

    Many of the characters do not put the heads on until they are actually going out into the park. It was weird seeing Winnie with his head under his arm..
    They have scent machines that spray cookies and popcorn aroma up onto main street.
