You can also walk from your campsite to the marina or outpost. We stay in the 1700 loop and that is what we do. That way we don't have to fold up the stroller and it's good exercise too!!!!! We also take food and bottled water with us to the parks. That's one of the things that is great about Disney. There are some amusement parks that don't allow this. We have never rented a golf cart. Usually we will walk or ride our bikes. Have a great time!!!

We had our picture taken on this in 1980 on our honeymoon. I will try and scan in the pictures and post them.

I got a 20% AAA discount for a full hook up site for our September visit to The Fort. I just asked about the AAA discount when I called to make my reservations.

We used the on line check in for our September and December visit. It was definitely quicker and our site was ready both times. We will use it again in September and hopefully all goes well again.

We usually stay atleast 2 weeks. With the price of gas, we stay longer and can only make 1 visit a year. Usually, we go to the parks everyday. Sometimes it's just for a few hours, but I love Magic Kingdom and can't get enough of it!!!

Make sure you call everyday and tell the CM to keep extending the time until you get something. I had to book the entire month and then cancelled what I didn't need. Also, you are better off calling and not using online reservations.

I agree that dogs pick up that being at The Fort is a happy place. Our cocker, that recently passed away, was a barker at everyplace but The Fort. We would ask him if he want to go to Disney World and he turned into a different dog. His last trip was Christmas and he loved it. We always stay in the 1700 loop and have never had a problem with piles of pooh or dogs barking all night long. In general, I think pet owners tend to be responsible.

I would definitely get a 2nd opinion.

Thanks for all of the information. That is still my favorite attraction at Walt Disney World. A visit wouldn't be complete without atleast one visit to Carousel of Progress!!!!!

We are planning on being at The Fort in September. Maybe the new expansion will make the rest of the park a little less crowded.

I just went to the disney store site and the 3 for $30 is for any 3 Duffy costumes. Believe it or not, my 26 year old daughter loves Duffy. We got her one when Duffy originally came out years ago. She was very excited to have her picture taken with him!!!

What is the dog barker??

We have stayed at the rest area in Georgia without any problem. If there aren't any campers/motorhomes there, we usually camp along side the tractor trailors. We stayed in the rest area in Florida also without any problems. Our experience with WalMart has been mixed. We have stayed in Florida without a problem and we have stayed in Florida and got a knock on the door telling us to move. It's probably the luck of the draw. If you have a security guard that really enforces the law, then you will be asked to move.

We had a field rat get into our MH a few years ago and he ate through walls, the heat ducts, wires, etc. We even replace the radio because it wasn't playing anymore. Come to find out the field rat ate through the speaker wires. It is unbelievable the amount of damage they can do. Luckily we can do all the repairs ourselves, but it still cost us over $500 in supplies. It was in the winter and we hadn't been in the MH for a while. To make a long story short, here is what we did after repairing all of the damage: 1. Put mouse traps with peanut butter on them 2. Getthe moth cakes that you

I got mine from Wal Mart.

What are the dates you are planning to visit The Fort? We have dates in December and might need to do some tweeking.

I was told that the only way to find out is to go to the booth that you purchase tickets and they will check each ticket for you. That's what we had to do.

I'm guessing 17.99 for the tape

If you have a roof mounted air conditioner, check around it also. We had a major leak around ours.

My daughter is actually staying a few nights at Shades of Green and the remainder of the time at The Fort for their honeymoon. I think it would be a great place for honeymooners.

Yea, me too. Federal benefits and The Fort, it doesn't get much better than that!!!!!

That would be me that you sent the message to. I guess private isn't really private afterall. Anyway, thanks

I agree, the set of rails is really cool!!! I too remember pop tops and opening a soda can with a can opener. Great trip report as usual and I can't wait to read more. This makes me even more anxious for my trip in September. Keep up the good work.

I would like to read it as well

First off, I want to thank every man and woman that is a member of our military. The Navy Seals and special ops did what they are trained to do and are to be applauded. It is my understanding that he was buried at sea because it would have been difficult to find a country that would bury him. The Muslin religion says that a person needs to be buried within 24 hours of his/her death. Even though Bin Laden was an evil person, the US respected the Muslin religion and buried him within the 24 hour time period.
