We will be towing our truck, 4 wheels down, for the first time when we visit The Fort in August.  Needless to say, my hubby is a little anxious.  We have a 38ft 1994 Newmar diesel and have towed an 8 ft enclosed trailer for many years.  Does anyone have any tips?  Do we need the brake-pro inside the truck?  Thanks for any advice you can give us.  We are traveling with our daughter, son in law, and 4 kids and we would like to make this as uneventful as possible.

The problem is that Disney is hurting families.  That is exactly the opposite of what Walt had in mind when he build the parks.

We had 3 adults and a child when we rode the "sleigh" ride.  There was plenty of room and we definitely could have fit more family members if needed.

I love Disneyland!!!

We are also in Maryland.  We live in Street/Jarrettsville located in Harford County.  I agree with you, the drive through northern Virginia is horrible.

As Dave said Disney has been fairly specific and adamant about not allowing wagons of any kind in after May 1. Even the rental companies have tried to get them to budge and been told no and are having to adjust their websites and inform customers that Disney will not allow them in after May 1. 

Obviously I cant predict how well they will enforce this rule but I have a feeling they might stand fast on this one. 

Our trip is scheduled for August

The Keenz stroller wagon is actually smaller than most strollers.  They also have a 5 point harness in them just like any stroller.  My daughter bought one for our upcoming Disney trip.

With rising cost, it has been 2 years since we visited the Fort.  Between the cost of the tickets and campsites, it has gotten out of hand.  My daughter, sometimes son in law, and the 4 grandkids travel with us.  They now have to purchase tickets for 3 kids, which is expensive.  Atleast they are military and can get the military discount.

The grandkids love Disney, so I'm sure we will always go.  Living in Maryland, the campgrounds are expensive and you have to pay additional for each camper over the campgrounds sanding reservation limit.  This is usually 2 or 4.  By the time we add on this additional fee, it can get close to Disney, unless you are going during Holiday seasons.

We will be going in August this year.  It works best with their schedules and the sale going on really helps.

We decided to make our next trip the end of August.  Our grandkids will be with us again.  August can be hot, but we usually hit the parks about 4pm and stay until closing.  The best thing about August is that we were able to book during the sale.  We were considering going in July, but the sale saved us almost $700.  That's a lot of money.

With that being said, you will always be a fiend and who knows what the future will hold.

Where has the time gone?  Happy Birthday and thanks for all of the hard work.

I would say early June.  Spring break is always packed.  We usually travel with 4 of our grandchildren.  Have fun!

We had to cancel our reservations and reschedule for July 4.  The grandkids have been really sick with strep throat, the flue, a virus, and croup..  We didn't want to chance it.  They are looking forward to July and we will be at the fort for Christmas another year.  Atleast we will be able to stay longer in July.

How do they think it has anything to do with the Fort Wilderness theme???????  I guess putting alot of thought and effort into a new project is just too much work for the current Disney architects.

That’s awesome!  I hope we get a chance to run into each other. 

Hopefully we will.  We are booked for a full hook up until the 31st and then we had to take a premium site.  Hopefully a full hook up will become available for the entire trip.

We are booked December 21 to January 5.  It will be us, daughter, and three grandkids.  Our son in law is a drill instructor at Parris Island and won't be able to come.  The grandkids are 7, 6, 4, and 6 months.  They are really excited!!!

We had to cancel our Halloween reservations.  Our grandchildren has a change in their school schedule and my daughter didn't want to pull them out of school for school for 2 weeks.  If all goes as scheduled, we will be there at Christmas.  Currently, we are arriving on December 15 and checking out December 31.  We are hoping to add days onto the end of our reservation so we can change our arrival day.  I keep trying to add on until the 4th or 5th, but so far haven't had any luck.

Believe it or not, there are still people that don't have smart phones.  Also, kids need to interact with people and the world, not have their nose buried in their phone.  Enough already!!

I think the price increases are really getting out of hand.  Food and tickets basically at the same time.  Who in the world is in charge???????

Thanks for the video

Thanks so much for all of the hard work.  I tell anyone that will listen about Fortfiends!!!

This prices might be to get people in the door and then they will escalate from there

My grandkids are going to be upset, but my daughter probably is happy.  They have lots of colored and stamped Duffy's.

I love Coco and my Disney loving grandkids watch it all the time.

Definitely contact Jason

My granddaughters will love that!!!!
