HappyRedhead......Betsy

Thanks! I had not heard of his work.

They did have some great new Haunted Mansion artwork and one of the Fort from the viewpoint of Bob's dock looking over to the Bike Barn. :)

I guess this confused me....I haven't seen one of the bike barn.

So am I understanding this right? There is another Fort print? Pictures? I can't seem to find one online.

Great trip! I'm so happy you all had a great time.

Okay, so am I the only sap getting teary eyed at the joy just jumping off the screen?

Am I misunderstanding something??? These tests appear to be testing the feasibility of eliminating the stand-by line. Therefore you can only ride if you have a FP+. This limits you to 3 possibly 4 rides per day.....for $100. Would they eliminate the stand-by line for the most popular attractions only?

I don't know about the rest of you, but with FP+, we spent LESS time in the parks. I planned our rides back to back then we would either ride something with a short wait, grab a bite to eat or go back to the Fort to hang around.

Another time, an attendant pulled my blind son up front to feel the firefighter's gear at Epcot during a demo.

To me, this is the type of cast member that can make a vacation. I don't think all of them would realize letting a blind child touch something actually engages him in the conversation. This cast member was aware of his audience and sensitive enough to want to make a difference.

Late to the party as usual, but I'm caught up! Looking forward to more!

Congrats on the Pixie Dust! We stayed in the 100 loop in a pop up. It's a great location and everything was within walking distance. It's also nice that most around you are in bigger rigs with their own facilities so the comfort station was never crowded.

We actually overnight at a hotel. Just have a small bag packed and grab that bag to go inside.

We considered that with the Hybrid, but truthfully we got such an early start and were making such good time, we just drove on through. Fortunately we could add a night at the beginning of our reservation.

Instead of leaving at the crack of dawn that morning, why not leave in the evening the night before and get a few hours driving time under your belt?? That works so much better for us. I tend to sleep better knowing I have a work day ahead of me, then leaving later. If I think I have to get up extra early in the morning, I take forever to fall asleep worrying if I will get up on time, then I oversleep.

When we had the pop-up, we would stop in Jacksonville and stay in a hotel because set up was time consuming and we liked doing that in the daylight. With the hybrid, we went straight to the Fort because set up was simpler. We considered overnighting somewhere, but it meant we would have to unhook and make beds then undo everything in the morning. Now that we have a TT, we'll probably overnight at a campground near Jacksonville and head to the fort early the next day. I need to plan a trip to test this theory....

We travel from just north of the Raleigh area and it takes us a little over 11 hours. This is with stops for fuel and a sit down lunch to get us out of the truck for a while. The last trip in March, we hit traffic in Orlando that added about 45 minutes.

The trip there usually seems pretty quick.....the trip home..not so much.

I just checked. I haven't been flushed yet. Probably because I havent been on that board for years.

I am thinking of trying to get flushed. Lol.

Me too...

Found em!

Is your Hybrid a KZ by chance? We were calling in about our last warranty visit and brought up ours that did the same thing. It was the LP detector and there is a known problem with the ones they put in the KZ's. ours was a 2010. Call the KZ service department and see what they say. Our dealership was very vague on knowing about it. The word recall was never used but they were going to replace ours.

I'm in....great start. I wish we lived close enough for quick trips!

We stayed at Dixie Landings/Port Orleans Riverside on our honeymoon in the Alligator Bayou(?) section and we had an outside door. It wasn't bad at all.

I have seen a big at the fort the last time I was there in Jan. it was in a travel trailer a few sites down from us. they had a ramp for him to walk up to the door and everything. the 1st time I saw them walking it I had to do a double take. very cute pig though.

Was it January 2013?  In the 800/900 loop area?  If so, there is a picture of it in one of TCD's trip reports.  We saw a man walking it on a leash and I snapped a picture.  I guess cute is in the eye of the beholder.  All I saw was a pig.

I saw a post from her this morning. It looked as if she was up quite late.

The only movie quote I remember is "there's no crying in baseball" from a League of their own. And it seems I use it a lot because the baby was crying the other day and Adam ran up to her and said "there's no crying in baseball!". Oops

So as I was reading this that exact scene popped up on CBS His Morning!

I'm in!

We bought a new camper a few weeks ago and after reading this thread, a surge protector was the first thing on the list to purchase.

Right.  Bob has to be careful crossing that hump in his cart so as not to go airborne.   :rofl3:

Okay....so that made me laugh. Thanks

Just caught up. I can't wait to see more!

We have vent covers (screens) on both the furnace exhaust and the hot water heater exhaust to keep out the mud-dobbers. But I was also told by one of the mechanics at our local RV shop that if I ever bring it in for warranty work for either, I need to take the vent covers off because the manufacturer will not cover either if the covers are in place.

I find this interesting. The manufacturers won't cover warranty work if the covers are in place, but they won't warranty the work required if the dirt-dobbers do damage because the manufacturers don't (or won't) prevent their entry. When we were doing the walk-through for our new TT the guy told us the covers were necessary and they had a unit in for service that had $600 in damage due to the infamous dirt-dobber.
