Hey! Glad u r here.

From one SC native to another.... Welcome!!!!

Dan! So good to see you here! You post anything you want, we are here for you. DITTO Double ditto. We even have a new Prayer and Moral support forum. Please don't hesitate to use it. Glad you're here.

Glad to have ya'll Jay and Paula! Welcome to the funnest site on the net.

We haven't taken the kids out of school yet (although I am in favor of doing that for an October trip). My parents are always at WDW the same time as we are...so that gives us a lot of extra help in the parks. Mom is a teacher so we've always gone during the summer to accommate her. I think they would be devastated if we went without them. LOL. My son does have sensory issues, but it seems like he copes really well at WDW. In fact, I think he thrives on all of the activity. :o We've always been very pleased with how WDW has gone above and beyond to make sure that our son's needs are

:monocle: hey!

A while back, my then 5 year old, autistic son was sitting on my lap being remarkably calm and quiet so I decided to use the opportunity to say a little prayer for him. When I finished he looked up at me, smiled and said... "Jesus". Amazed I asked him to repeat it. He then said... "More Cheezits!" :-)

I'm sure it has been therapeutic FWG. Two things camping has allowed our son.... peacefulness when needed and the ability to run completely wild when needed. Truly the best of both worlds. :-) Dave, the disabilities may vary, but I think we're all gonna learn from one another. I found some good friends in the disAbilities thread elsewhere, but this already has a different feel to it. Maybe b/c there are fiends here. :-) Just reading the posts already made in this forum have nearly brought tears to my eyes.

I had no idea you dealt with that FWG. Wow. It sounds like you've learned a lot from your daughter. :) Your post raises a valid point. Sometimes it takes your walking through something to appreciate how difficult it is and to gain understanding. I truly hope this Forum will help raise awareness among the camping community and provide comfort and support for those who face these challenges on a day to day basis.

I think I've already stated elsewhere how much I'm looking forward to meeting ya'll. I have 2 sons, one of which is autistic, and it nearly wipes me out some days. You two are a true inspiration to those of us to deal with a disability on a daily basis.

I didn't know you had a child with autism. My 6 year old son is autistic as well. The camping experience provides him the familiar feeling of being "home". Being confined to hotel room and such would drive him off the deep end after a while and would not be pleasant for other guests either. ;-) My son is severely active...continuous jumping, spinning, bouncing of the walls, running... so being able to just step right outside to all FW has to offer is a wonderful advantage for us. Thanks for starting this Forum Jen and Chris!

Nuttin' yet, but it will be chicken.

There goes your respect meter. What is LMBO. Rob does like sentiment. He prefers my snarky side... Pleeeze don't disrespect me MB! Haha! LMBO = Laughing My Butt Off. You will also see LMAO. I think you get the picture there.

Good thing, too. My nausea-o-meter was spiking from all that gush. Take a long flight south Bird Man! LMBO! Is that better?

But... but... but Donnie..... I'm not angy, evious or jealous! I'm having just as much fun here as i ever did there! In fact, I'm having MORE fun b/c I don't have to worry about being thrown out just for bein' me. :) I feel more like a true Fiend here.... I got to be here for the beginning of something really great! Thanks everyone! *Gushy sentimental moment over now.*

Love the NEW button! Those of us with ADHD or just a total lack of focus thank you Chris!

I just wish there was a way to know which comments got the respect.

This will be my first time saying this in the new, much cooler place.. Great TR !!!! Yay!!!! It's been years since I was at Disney during the holiday season. Love it.

Actually, it was the day before yesterday! LMBO!!!!

I got it and I agree. Do I still have to read it 7 more times???

R E S P E C T ... Take care TCB.. SOCK IT TO ME .. SOCK IT TO ME...SOCK IT TO ME .. SOCK IT TO ME

just thought of a great way to advertise the new site... Follow Lisa's instructions on the FF FB Discussion for changing all your pics on "the site that shall not be named" and replace them all with a link to fortfiends.net. LMBO!!!! The mods would go cuckoo!!!

Yikes!!! I'm glad I've already seen a pic of FWG! Someone needs to post a pic of cupcake so we can be on alert. [glow=red,2,300]The best way to spot a counterfeit is to know the original![/glow] SITE 912 @ FORT WILDERNESS 2010

Thanks for the link! Wasn't sure how to get there. I'll get registered!

No. You get a lifetime supply of banishment. BTW... What in the heck is the respect for in the lower left corner under your profile pic? I need some R-E S-P-E-C-T.
