We bought a vent cover for the furnace exhaust. It was cheap and an easy install. We were told we needed one to prevent "dirt-dobbers" from building a nest.

Glad everyone was okay! That tree limb is exactly why we just traded our hybrid for a travel trailer. I grew up in a tent and pop up. My husband and I first purchased a pop up and then the hybrid. Why after 49 years did I all of a sudden become afraid of that happening? Congratulations on the new TT!

Great trip report! I liked your pictures of Main Street. The best picture I have of the castle was taken with my iPhone. Your sisters smile is beautiful. Looking forward to hearing about your September trip.

Great report! Thanks! I'm thinking about booking the Yacht Club for an anniversary trip in December. We did the Christmas Party on our Honeymoon and I'd like to do it again.

There is a food setting? Me too. still waiting for more...thanks!

Phantom of the Opera Think of Me

The meeting looked like fun. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Beaches and Cream is on my list of fun for the next trip. We accidentally "found" the boardwalk on our last trip. I had heard of it, but didn't really know much about it.

I'm in!

Great update...thanks! My favorite seats are in the shade anyway, so the CHOGS don't bother me....much. What a great day at sea. Love that picture of Anna. She is really a cutie pie.

They don't need all those chairs. I like to call them "chair hogs". I've seen those chairs sit empty for endless hours while their snowflake plays in the pool or they go to the buffet or snowflake needs a 3 hour nap but will want their chair when they wake up. One cruise I saw a woman yell at her husband to come sit. He said "no, going to the casino, give the chair up I'm not using it"....she yelled back "I'm saving it anyway".

Which must be why I haven't seen it.....I have boys.

I guess I get a geek point too.... My sons name is Wesley. Star Trek Next Generation. Wesley Crusher. Sheldon's nemesis

Ouch! Keep your chin up...you've had a rough trip but you're at the Fort....with fiends.....and food! Seriously, I do hope your trip gets better!

Well Said! Hope the rest of your trip is great

Hurricane Schmurricane.....I've sat through worse at my house 200 miles inland. It's passing us right on by. The island did have a bit of "excitement" (not sure that is the proper word but I can't think of another). My house is on the 2nd row, meaning the main drag goes between the ocean front houses and mine. About an hour ago we hear sirens and see the water rescue team drive on the beach from the public access we use. Yes, we walked out there. We don't know what happened, but they left and the ambulance never went on the beach, hopefully it was a false alarm. Anyway, and this is

Just caught up! I'm riding Hurricane Authur out at Ocean Isle Beach NC so this is a great diversion to the wind and rain outside. We have been to Nassau....once. I won't get off the ship again. We took the "Historical" tour. It was really awkward. Our tour guide drove us through his neighborhood and had us wave at all his friends. The whole time he was announcing "this is how we do the getto in the caribbeans". I would rather spend time on the ship. I love the pictures of your family. Everyone looks like they are having a great time. Great report so far....thanks!

I pretty much got the same blank stare from the staff at Art of Disney. My husband called and spoke with someone at David Doss' studio. As he understood it, David Doss Disney prints are only available in WDW. Currently the only time the "Fun in Fort Wilderness" print is available is when he is showing in WDW. As the print gets older and newer prints are drawn, this print may become more readily available when he is not at WDW, which would explain why some prints can be found there and some can not. This is what we were told, so it may or may not be 100% true. I missed him by 6 days. A fri

Oh yes...it IS that voice...and a few other things. Anyway, We ate at the Garden Grill on our last trip and it was delicious! We asked our server what happened to the leftovers if we didn't take them. She said the food that couldn't be donated was composted and used to "feed" the plants around Disney. I hope it's the truth, but we didn't leave much for the plants.

I enjoyed this report! Thanks for bringing us along on Z's adventures. My favorite picture is the one of Ariel's kiss and his starry-eyed expression. Now back to your cruise report......Z has had MANY adventures lately!

I'm so glad Z wasn't any worse...! I agree with Gwen....my 2 favorite sights are the Fort Wilderness sign and the ship...any ship towering above the cruise terminal. Both in the same trip would be awesome!

And first page for once!

I'm in!

Great trip report...helped me relive our trip a bit! Thanks for sharing your adventures.. It was great meeting you and thanks for the spike!

Hook, Line, and Sinker. I fell for the whole thing. I questioned it, but hey if TCD reports it....it's got to be true...right??? Oh well, I redeemed myself with the pig......and got my first hijack...
