Also, sad to report that there is still no money budgeted for spellcheck or a new sign:

Unfortunately, the budget didn’t include doing anything about the ugly fence around the old TCD Ranch: TCD

That rumor is true Grumpy! There is too much sod, there are a lot less trees, but it’s 1000% better than the eyesore that was here for the past 2 1/2 years. As far as I could see, there are no speakers anymore- so no fireworks music unless they set up portable speakers. TCD

Yeah it’s a bummer. The twins were booked on the maiden voyage but canceled when we got booked for the test cruise. We will get on the Wish eventually- hopefully later this year. TCD

thanks for sharing that news Jason. I’m pleasantly surprised. TCD

Sorry, but there will be no trip report. We were notified last night that this test cruise was canceled. The ship is currently full of vendors frantically at work getting the ship ready for the maiden voyage. At least TCD twin #2 got to attend a pajama party at the terminal Sunday night to welcome the Wish home- you can spot her in the video from this event currently on the Disney Parks Blog. So, we will not be the first guests to sail on the Wish out of Port Canaveral. Time to look for some new bragging rights, and to book a date for a later sailing. TCD

Woo hoo. Check the Port Canaveral web cams for the TCD gang sailing on the first DCL CM test cruise on June 24th!! It’s still good to be TCD! TCD

This sign was posted at the Meadow Campfire area when I visited the Fort last weekend: Here we are with campsite prices at an all time high, and the campfire has been reduced to one hour. No sing-a-long, no chipmunks. They can’t even be bothered to set up a food service location to sell s’mores kits. The food truck is mainly parked at the settlement these days. I doubt the sing-a-long and chipmunks will ever be back. No way is Disney going to allow “free” entertainment with characters anymore. Boo! TCD

Terrible news! Ms. Sundee was the best. So much better than the dumb cowboys that replaced her. TCD

Hey if they put something over there it might distract guests from looking at the chain linked eyesore right across from it. Genius. TCD

Yes. Although on most sites, the tent will need to be set up on the concrete pad. TCD

The alleged advantage of the preferred loops (100, 200, and 300) is the close proximity to the Settlement area. The 100 and 200 loops are very close to the Settlement. There is a nice playground there and the new horse barn is nice to visit. However, even the Fort management recognized the dubious advantage of being close to the Settlement by rebranding the loops close to the Meadow area and jacking up the rates for those sites. As far as bike riding goes, the loops aren’t the best place for kids to ride, but there are plenty of other sidewalks and areas around the Settlement and Meadow areas
