Live4FW

1st page rights on a TCD report. Its good to be "Live4FW"! Missed you

They probably had 30 or so turnstiles. I believe they were doing bag check along the scanner much like airport but bags were not being to closing inspected (not scanned). I know they had gates dedicated to wheelchair but honestly didn't look to closely. We were there at park opening and it was fairly quick. However, I really don't think they are looking that closely. I will also say, that terrorism is probably not there focus. We have had issues in the past with rough clientele. They have really cleaned that up and this was probably part of it. I think they were really after guns/knive

When we visited Six Flags Atlanta a few weeks ago, they had scanners at every turnstile.

The fire at the campfire is not kept going strong after the start of the movie. So only about and hour or so. Keep in mind that if you want a fire at your site, the Fort is very restrictive on the type of fire pit that you can have. It must be fully covered (not a screen). I don't remember if they have wood but I seem to recall that they do not sell it at trading post. If it is cool you may want to bring it but depending how busy you are with parks, etc., it may not get used much. Have fun.

In our area, If you clear out your lines and make sure to drain water heater and low point drains, we never needed to actually use antifreeze. Greatly simplifys the process and easier to unwinterize/rewinterize for those winter camping trips, In 10+ years we only had one issue with some water that was in the toilet foot valve. Not sure even if we used antifreeze it would have been protected. Valve replacement was cheaper than 2 years worth of antiffreeze. We used our trailer often in january and feb here in north georgia with no issues. Sometimes when camping the hose to camper would fre

Yes, it is white. Hard to find a used one that isn't

Nice choice on the Chevy Express 3500. I have a short wheelbase and pulled close to 9K. The 6.0 and 6 speed transmission was a pleasure to drive. I would probably have gone for the extended wheelbase but it handled my trailer well. I picked mine up as a prior rental vehicle. 16K miles and other than some stains here and there (on black carpet) it was good as new.

Plus - this gives them a "PC" solution to deal with all those Christians......

Excellent trip report. So many things that remind me of how we have done WDW & FW over the years. We didn't always roll with the crowd. Sometimes we did. But we always made memories that I wouldn't trade for anything!

TCD, No criticism on that point from me. I agree that many of the good things we used to enjoy have disappeared and for what they charge the value continues to deteriorate. I was only poking some fun at the bear.... JDGGDK, Trust me, this is a great group and please come back often. We do tend to be a bit snarky around here. It's just that some of us are just a little passionate about the Fort and don't like how we continue to lose the little things that make it so special.

Wow, such sarcasm and cynicism from Mr. TCD. You would think he was channeling Lou.

Just saw this on Fox News Online. Looks like the Ford Ranger may be coming back. They have been building it continuously in other countries and it has a very good reputation from what I hear. I may seriously consider one once I get the TT and van sold. http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2015/08/27/ford-planning-for-new-small-pickup-in-us/?intcmp=hpff

Ya know, after checking that website out, she has lost a lot of luster for me.....Is that guy a boyfriend or something? Wow, she scraped the bottom for him ("celebrity" or not).

Generally No, if asked just say you are going to eat there.

So sorry for your loss. Labs are always a special kind of pup.

We went last week and really enjoyed it. We skipped desert because we filled up on the bread.

If you are going with a bunkhouse, you will definitely want the 15K. Ours barely keeps up on really hot days. Another factor is if you have doors between bunkhouse area and/or front bedroom. I also upgraded my furnace registers to be adjustable so that I could moderate flow to different areas.

Nacole, I would not recommend Keystone and specifically the Cougar line We have a 302 BHS and while overall it has been decent, I have had too many instances of poor quality. A specific issue is with the exterior decals which peeled within the first three years. Most owners were unable to get Keystone to address these issues. My next RV will not be a Keystone! However, I will recommend Three Way. We have had good experiences with them for the most part. Scot

Ray, While true that Dollywood is dry, you should consider that just up the road a short distance is Gatlinburg which is home to several Moonshine Distillers which have FREE sampling and believe me, that is a "theme" park in it's own right.... :oregonian_winesmiley:

Pictures>>>> Congrats are suppose are in order?

Movies at Grumpy and Grandma's! Beautiful rig! Enjoy.

I know you are doing everything you can! I certainly appreciate that. It is one reason that I fully support using a TA for something "seemingly so simple". But due to the complexity of the Disney system, they have made this anything but simple. Thanks for all that you do!

Jason is on the case! Crossing my fingers as we will probably not come down unless we get the rest. Hoping to see you if we do.

I'm with you. I am still holding out to complete a reservation this year for Thanksgiving. I have the first part of the week but have pretty much lost hope that I can get any extra days. A lot of that is my fault but it is really ruining the magic for me going forward. I keep trying to get our family camping again and keep coming up with blanks. I went to drain the trailer last night since we hadn't used it since May. It is more of a pain to keep it when I can't even go to the Fort.

Here is another article in Fox News that discusses tie-in with Apple Pay and Magic Band Swipe. One commenter asks will Apple device be able to replace Magic Band? That would be pretty cool. http://www.foxnews.com/travel/2014/09/10/apple-pay-makes-day-at-theme-park-even-easierand-expensive/?intcmp=features
