Doug, Not sure I understand your gray/black tank situation. You say you have two gray tanks...but no black? Why do you have a black outlet if you have no black tank? Do you have a toilet plumbed through the floor? ..into a tank? Do you have two gray outlets and a black outlet? Are the two gray outlets close together? Inquiring minds want to know...or just nosy.

So I don't think there is anything wrong with my TV(s). It's just a matter of what Disney is carrying on their cable. Why my sets scan in those middle channels, complete with station identifier and HD, but then shows No Signal when I tune to them, I have no idea. I can live with that. But why is there no SEC network???? Fortunately almost all bowl games are carried on ESPN during the time we are usually at the Fort, but for those interested in Softball and baseball tournaments, which are going now/soon, good luck. Jen, Are you in Starkville?

Symphony in the Stars

Git 'er done! We'll be there in mid-June. -
How many Fiends have actually seen a gator at the fort or bay area? We've gone for 15-16 years and never seen one. Of course I haven't gone out to the dam area at night. And of course gators may suck more in coming years with their new coach. As may the Dawgs and Gamecocks.

A-HA! The latest TCD list corresponds to my experience with the missing channels all having HD in their titles, and the upper channels having SD in THEIR titles. Now, at River Plantation (Sevierville TN) one of my TVs searches and finds all analog stations and the other finds only digital stations. About 60 similar or equal stations in each set, except a few of the analog stations are snowy. "Discuss among yourselves."

Mass exodus from MK after fireworks [emoji312]
Retired and Happy (Ken) replied to treeax's topic in Disney Trips
Get on the boat before the fireworks and view from there. Or go back to the Fort early and view from the beach...with piped in music. -
New looks for Mickey and Minnie ?
Retired and Happy (Ken) replied to Beckers's topic in Disney Rumors Board
His nose looks smaller, hers larger. I'm into the conspiracy theory angle. I don't care for the darker skin tone or mouth changes, either. No opinion on the eyes yet. -
So how many...
Retired and Happy (Ken) replied to twiceblessed....nacole's topic in Fort Wilderness Loops Information
We once slept 12 in a 28 footer enroute...with no bunk beds and no air mattresses. Once we got to the Fort, five of them slept in a side room on hi-rise air mattresses. And 8 of the total were kids/babies. These days it's 4-5 max. -
Kdeg, There is golf cart parking at the Outpost bus depot and at the Settlement, both near the bus depot and at the Marina near the boat dock. As well as other convenience locations around the Fort. Also bike racks (maybe not to convenient with triplets ). We strap car seats on the rear seat of our golf cart for two of ours who need such support. Do you use a triple stroller, by any chance? Also, the term "ferry" at WDW refers to the large two story ferryboat that runs between the Ticket and Transportation Center (TTC) and the dock at the magic Kingdom (MK) across Seven Seas Lagoo

Advice for a premium loop
Retired and Happy (Ken) replied to jends123's topic in Fort Wilderness Loops Information
We have three in wheelchairs, 3, 18, and soon 20. We have stayed (among other locations) in 1400 with the rear of the MH toward the meadows movie venue, and stayed in 1200 with the rear toward the road near the 4-way stop. In neither location was there excessive noise, although with a hybrid, the bus traffic around the 4-way stop might be objectionable in the early morning. The wheelchair might be advisable for most travel around the Fort. Some distances can be unexpectedly taxing, especially in the heat...or rain. -
Remember the hand held fire extinguishers are primarily for blocking the fire so you can get out. Only the smallest fires can actually be successfully fought inside. Our fear is for our three wheelchair dependent children...one in the rear and two near the front door. But none could get themselves out. And I can't see either of us leaving them inside.

Your favorite souvenir.
Retired and Happy (Ken) replied to Ivy's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
Our rusty spike! We also have bought Disney "year" matching :"T" shirts for many years, but this past Christmas, we were told they no longer make all sizes in each design, so we had to get two different shirts instead of all matching. -
Fort for One Month?
Retired and Happy (Ken) replied to GPoppins's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
We've spent the past 15 or so Decembers at the Fort. Some times we only go into the parks 4-5 times, rarely more than 10-15 times. We do a lot of looping and just looking around. The kids love it with an occasional trip to Winn Dixie or WalMart. A trip to a Trading Post for a newspaper and some ice cream makes their day. Some days we just ride some Disney transportation and look for deer or whatever. A month at the Fort is awesome with or without the parks. -
Capacity Question
Retired and Happy (Ken) replied to fortpartyof4's topic in WDW and Disney Park Discussions
3-4 years ago on Christmas Day I decided to take our son to the MK. We were told on the boat the park was closed. We elected to take the Monorail to EPCOT. When we got there, we saw the crowds below us and just stayed on the Monorail and returned to the Fort. It killed a couple of hours and he enjoyed the "rides".
