    Our first family trip to The Fort was when our kids were 5, 3, 18 month. We were there for a week and had a seven day pass. Now, we bring out grandkids. On our next trip they will be 4, 3, 18 months. We will be there for 3 weeks and are getting the 10 day pass. Our grandkids live in California at Camp Pendleton and go to Disneyland. Even at this age, our granddaughter prefers Disney World in Pop-Pop's motorhome.

    I would do the 4 day pass. Take advantage of your 2 year being free. When we take the grandkids, they take a nap. In the summer, we let them play at The Fort during the day and nap. Then we hit the parks about 4pm and stay until closing. They sleep late in the morning and avoid the hot weather. Luckily, you won't have to worry about that when you are going.

    We are going over Halloween for our next trip. It will be the first trip with all 3 of the grandkids. At Christmas, we did Disneyland and California Adventure with them. We went to the parks in the morning and came back for naps and then went out again. Not sure what the plan is for our October trip. Our daughter is the type that takes the wait and see approach. We take it day by day and plan things on how tired the kids are that day.

    By the way, welcome and I'm sure you will have a great time. We have stayed at South of the Boarder and Yogi Bear campgrounds in the past. We used to stay at a WalMart, but South of the Boarder is only $25 a night. It is a nice stopping point. Yogi Bear is nice, but it is only about 5 hours from home. We stayed there when we got a late stop and didn't want to drive all night long.

    Have fun!!!

  7. Just booked our Halloween 2015 trip

    Just book our trip for Halloween 2015. Got a full hook up site. We have the daughter, son in law, grandkids, and hopefully my Mom going. This is the first time our son in law has been able to go with us in 4 years because of deployment and military duties. So excited!! A week ago there wasn't available and now there is availability for all site levels. Go figure. Our oldest granddaughter, she will be 4, can't wait to trick or treat at The Fort. Hopefully a lot of fiends will be there too!!

  10. Campsite discounts

    in General Camping Discussion and Questions

    Posted

    We are thinking about visiting The Fort the middle of  June.  This will be the first trip since my Dad passed and we are bringing my Mom.  Also, we are bringing my daughter, son in law, and 3 grandkids.  My daughter and grandkids are coming to visit in May and my son in law will fly into Orlando for our visit.  This is also the first time my son in law has been with us since he was deployed.

    We are hoping to come for 2 weeks and I was wondering if anyone knows of any campsite discount available?

    Thanks in advance

  11. The TCD Gang Goes to Disneyland!

    Also, The World of Color was awesome at California Adventure.  My daughter said that usually the show is only about 15 minutes, but the Christmas version was about 30 minutes.

    We were at California Adventure for New Year's Eve and it was very low key.  Disney World definitely does a better job at New Year's Eve.  At least that is my opinion.

  12. The TCD Gang Goes to Disneyland!

    in Trip Reports

    We were in Disneyland and California Adventure December 29-31.  I loved It's a Small World, the Haunted Mansion, and the Jingle Cruise for Christmas.  Walking through the castle was cool too.    There are aspects of Disneyland that I like better and aspects of Disney World that I like better too.  The CM's at Disney World are much better in general. 

    My granddaughter, she is 3 1/2, loved ice skating at Downtown Disney.  It was her first time on ice skates and can't wait to ice skate again.  I don't think I can justify spending the money to go to Disneyland when I live in Maryland.  We were visiting our daughter, son in law (a Marine), and 3 grandkids for Christmas.  So, of course, we had to go.

    We stayed at Desert Palms, which was about a 10 minute walk from the entrance.  They do an annual passholder discount.  So, they might do a CM discount as well.  It had a full kitchen in it and was very nice.  There was also breakfast that was included.  The breakfast was awesome, eggs, sausage, waffles, cereal, muffins, donuts, etc.

    The only downside to our trip is that it was really cold.  I'm talking 38 degree cold at night and windy.  However, we still had a great time.

  13. Disneyland at Christmas

    I don't have any pictures because my son-in-law has all of the pictures on his phone right now.  This was the first time that I have visited Disneyland and the Christmas decorations were beautiful.

     

    It's a Small World was fantastic.  It is totally decorated for Christmas.  The Haunted Mansion was done in Nightmare Before Christmas. It's a shame that Disney World doesn't do this.

     

    My daughter and son-in-law flew me out to babysit for the Marine Corps Ball and decided that I needed to go to Disneyland.  We will be going again when my husband and I surprise that grandkids for Christmas.  Will try and post pictures.
