The worse thing we had was when we were in 605 at the fort and the people in 603 had a TT about 26ft. It was a guy with 2 women and 3 huge dogs that barked  constantly when they were out. One morning they were out walking the dogs and then put them in the TT and left. For the next half hour all we heard was barking dogs and breaking up of the TT. They were gone for about an hour, when they got back I am sure they got the surprise of their life, the noises coming from that TT said to me they had broken everything that was and wasn't nailed down.

The fuel price almost killed the industry a few yrs ago I can see it taking out even more this time. It seemed it was making a good comeback till now.

I don't know if it will kill towing but it will sure put a crimp in it. Its hard to justify paying $4.00 a gal to go somewhere for a weekend, longer duration trips with less overall trips seems to be the ticket.

Hell, I may have to use the WDW busses to save some fuel. :banana:

Personally I love the 600 loop even though some people don't appreciate the lengthening of it. I have stayed in the 600 I think 5  times now. The road side doesn't bother me even with a bedroom facing the road it never bothers me. I don't know who numbered the sites but the first 2 when you enter are 601 and 602 these both back up to the Meadow Trading post. Then 603 is on the left as are the odd numbered sites down to somewhere like 620 then the odds change sides. On the right backing up to the pond are 604 thru 614 all even numbers down to 620 and 621 is on the right up to 635 which all back up to the canal then they change again as the last one 637 just backs up lol. The configurations in the loop are funny also as there are some sites that are huge and some in the middle on the left are small for Perm sites.

I like 606 when the weather is cooler as there is NO shade and 635 for 4th of July week.

Considering that warm air rises, if a man builds up gas and the ambient temperature is less than his body temperature, does he weigh less than when he does not have gas? If he ate a pound of beans, would he weigh more or less? Going further, if one ate enough gaseous food, would they ultimately float off into space?

They could be relitives of mine, my grandmother came from Hungry, thanks for posting

they will have you park in the overflow lot. Some of us (not me) checked in before 5 am and waited for the phone message that their site was ready while they looped in their cart. And called us at 7am to get there, I don't do 7am

you know Lorna, if it rains it's Rich's fault, this was his idea :D

On the bright side..  if it rains we'll just all have to cram ourselves under the biggest awning!  That should make for an interesting meet and greet.  :)

That will depend on who your hudled next to and what was for dinner....ohhhaannnnnaaaaaa

I have stayed there over night and a friend of mine has been there for the last 6 weeks, he leaves for home tomorrow. It's a decent campground, easy in and out all pull thru. It's a corporate type thing, if you arrive late you have to find a security guard to take care of you (after 5) and sometimes the reservation system doesn't communicate with the campground very well. There is no Mom/Pop feel.

They have a couple sections, one in a sparsely treed area and another is out in the wide open. They have a 9 hole golf course and driving/putting area.

Once you stay there they will call you once in a while offering you deals, my friend who is there now I believe got a rate of under $400 for 6 weeks, don't hold me to that but if I remember correctly he wound up paying something like $10 or $11 a night with tax and all.

I would suggest if your going to make a reservation, try to negotiate a better price, it never hurts to try even for a short stay.

Overall we liked it but then again we only overnighted but my buddy thinks it's great, this is the second yr he has stayed for over a month there and he's pickyer than me.

DaveInTn just bought one at the Nashville show, he should be along in a little while. I remember him saying that at the shows there are reps from the manufacturers that can give some additional price breaks if you seem serious about buying.

On a side note, how stupid are we as people to PAY to go look at RV's someone is trying to sell us. They should be paying us to come see their stuff. Would you pay to go to a car lot and look at new Fords or into the RV dealers lot? Just a side rant.

Tell him, never give up, sometimes you sit there a bit but from my experience when they are biting it's bang bang bang and a load of fun!

We went down To Crocket park to see what it was like one day. I wasn't impressed. The sites are all over and close unlevel kinda overall crappy. They had areas that were for groups that was more or less just a meadow along a creek and I don't remember if they even had electric. Overall I didn't like it.

I just remembered we would probably have a baseball game on a Saturday in March but we will see.

I'll run it by the boss, sounds good to me

and we have to say :jumpforjoy and I like that name

yuppers, thats a nice catch!

you can fish in all the canals around the fort, where there's water there's fish. I lot of people like to fish in Bay Lake but in Jan a guy Frank ran into was told he wasn't aloud to fish in the lake and they kept him moving to the canal.

Nice Job!  :parrot:

I have cought some huge Catfish and Bass off the dock behind the Meadow Trading Post.

I have also cought a lot of what we call brim although I don't think its spelled that way, you can just call them sunfish.

If you hook into one of those big catfish you had better hold on and don't try getting them up on the dock, pull them (slowly) over to the side and ease then up on the shore. I and Frank cought ones that were 27 and 30 inches long at the first of the year. We didn't have anything to weigh them but they were heavy and break your line quick if you try to pull them too hard, you need to let em run (which is fun) then wear em out and then land them. You will know if you hook into one believe me.

Set your line bout 4 feed deep or don't use a bobber at all, I like the bobber so I can see them nibbling on it and when they finally take I know right away.

I see people go over to the bike barn and buy worms of like $5 and catch nothing, we used chicken SKIN from the GaG (SKIN NOT MEAT OR COATING) and hotdogs and peperoni. We had a lot of fun and I hope you do too!

So go get the Giddyup and Go, have a good meal and save the SKIN in a plastic baggy and have bait for a couple days. :soapbox:

I have eaten there twice, the food is great, the place is cool but it is way over priced, no they are not huge  :)

we are suspose to have a pot luck on Saturday and some other day guests are suspose to stop by then. Come on by it would be great! :rofl2:

So what does management do with it?  Do they use it to buy your Christmas gifts?

Management never gets it. We may be dumb but we're not stupid.

Thank you Doug for the recognition....ohhhhhh you ment the busman :banana:.....my bad he is a good guy :dance:

oh thats right, I'll get on it right away. :D

Stall #2

now thats a crapper!

Any site that I'm in!!  However, we are really starting to like the Premium sites, in spite of the price.

We will turn you into a 600 looper yet!
