Hey everyone. I finally managed to get back on here. I was locked out somehow. I thought somebody didn't like me or something....lol. Anyway, I am seeing several people say that there is now park to park transportation for all except Disney Springs? Did I miss something? BTW, I will be zipping down to Music in September for a Disney fix. Iowa sure is boring....lol. One last time to use the AP's that expire 9/11.If anyone will be around the 6th - 12th, let me know.

Keep Bailing, the Water's Rising Fast!
bord1niowa......Curt replied to Travisma's topic in Trip Reports
Just a heads up about site flooding. It's not just the tent/pop up sites that flood. We had a pup in site 126, the last site on the inside of the 100 loop, and it rained and left about 2-3 inches of water throughout the site and driveway in front of it. No way to get in or out without wading through. -
How many people do you want to sleep? A smaller 8 foot box might barely get into that range new. Depends on the place whether you get the AC or not for a fair price. Buy on the ;last day of the month, the sales people get hungry and will give up 30-35% off list price. If you buy new at a good discount, it could be cheaper than buying one 2-3 years old. Cheaper ones are the Forest River lines of Rockwood and Flagstaffs. They come out of the same factory. IMHO Jayco seems to be a better brand. They have a 2 year warranty instead of a 1 year. That should tell you something there. They cost

Howdy everyone. We own several different brands of pop ups and yes, they are used a lot. Our favorite is a Jayco. Even though it is the oldest of them, it requires less upkeep than even the 2013 and 2015. New, they do cost a bit more than a Forest River product but they do come with a 2 year warranty as opposed to a 1 year. That should tell you something. Forest River makes Flagstaff and Rockwood. They are virtually the same and come off the same lines. They do look very nice BUT we have found the quality of the materials and workmanship leaves something to be desired. 4 of the 5 popu

It's bad everywhere. They even have heat sensing photos on your smart phone that can read the heat from you pushing your buttons on the pad. The next person just steps up with their groceries and look like they are texting but what they are doing is taking the thermal photo of the pin numbers you used. The stronger the color, the more likely it was the last number. Very sophisticated these days. My daughter was just hit for over $2000 recently again. They can get your card info simply by being near you. Scary stuff.

Jayco has a 2 year warranty. Forest River a 1 year. Our family has a total of 3 Forest River products ranging from pop ups to 38 foot trailer. All 2013 or newer. Our experience is that they are made with very cheap materials and workmanship. Things just do not last. We have been disappointed in all 3 of them. I won't even go into the repairs that have been needed just after the one year warranty expired. They look very nice but it is a facade. The Jayco products we have owned have been pretty good and we have been happy with them. No experience with the Heartland so I couldn't say.

Traveling From STL to WDW
bord1niowa......Curt replied to shawngrieshaber's topic in Camping To and From the Fort
Made the trip several times from Iowa through St Louis. The most important thing is make sure you time going through Atlanta (not around) during a time that would not be considered rush hour, even on a Saturday. You could easily do that time wise. The closer to Valdosta as a stop the better. It's an easy drive from there. Mapquest will give you the roads for the straight shot towards Disney. Pretty much an angle towards it the whole way, except for down 57. If you're really excited, you can go into Florida before stopping. Georgia is a really long state with about 2 million state poli -
Theft in the 1400 Loop

I'm here but we need to find out when they are here until. And where they are. I'll be there tomorrow and saturday and sunday. -
Florida Campgrounds
bord1niowa......Curt replied to NurseTK's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
http://www.themeworldrv.com/index.html Here's where we are. It's mainly a snowbird resort so the summer is pretty slow. Nice pool and laundry room. When you come in determines your price but also locks you in at the lower rate starting in may. The only thing negative is now they are building small winter homes and it can be a little noisy at times. It's 7 miles down I 4 from World Drive.but away from the hustle and bustle of Disney yet there is everything as far as shopping goes. $390 a month for grassy sites if you come in between may and september. They also have paved sites for a -

Restricted Airspace
bord1niowa......Curt replied to Travisma's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
Could it have anything to do with Disney considering using drones for the fireworks? I had read about that and it could Make a Messy situation if they were up there and they had helicopters and balloons etc over the area. -
that would probably put it up into that range then wouldn't it?

Proper loading will make a huge difference. When that thing starts fishtailing, it's scary! Then you'll slow down to 55 or less. If you can, try it out first as there are some pretty important things that will need to be checked out before a long haul to Disney. Hate to get there and find out something you didn't notice when you got it. We rent to a lot of people that own RVs but don't want to pull it a long distance. It can be hard on the nerves....lol. It's supposed to be a vacation! Have fun! You'll love it.

Check in - anyone ever have this happen
bord1niowa......Curt replied to ctlau's topic in Fort Wilderness Loops Information
Check in doesn't always make sense. I had a guest coming in yesterday. Was told the site wasn't ready in the morning. A couple of hours later was told it wasn't even assigned yet. How can it not be ready if they didn't even assign it yet? Next time I called was an hour later and was told it's not ready. 5 seconds after hanging up with the front office, the guest called and said I am standing in our site and it's ready, when are you coming to set it up? Hmmmmm. I was certainly confused. Evertything is totally dependent on who you speak with in the office. Sometimes I think they forget t -
Stuttering today, sorry.

One of the things (supposedly) for having a pet in your abode is it must have AC. This brings up the question of an AC being put into a tent. hmmm I would also guess that a canvas wall can be scratched through and allow more noise than a hard-side trailer, which could be a factor. How this changes by putting a pop up into another loop and being acceptable I don't know. The thing is I don't KNOW of anything written that explains any of this. (see above 3 times asking the same question of 3 castmembers)

Love Bugs
bord1niowa......Curt replied to PoorGABoy's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
We are 7 miles SW of the Disney entrance and they are here. Not real heavy yet but definitely a nuisance. -
Let's stir this up just a wee bit. There are non-pet loops. 2 of them. (maybe) 1500 and 2000. You can have a pet in a pop up at Fort Wilderness but not in a partial loop. That should make it a non pet loop. Now here's the catch.. Does that also apply to a smaller trailer in one of those loops?
