Spinner...Ben

Sounds like a great time. We're holding down the Fort. We may pass through that way Thursday 3/20 if anyone is still around.

There's always camp Wally. We did Walmart on the way down. Too convenient!! No setup or tear down, just pull in, lights out, wake up, eat, go. With the cost of fuel to run the genny, it's probably a wash, but we usually drive until 9-10 pm so I don't want to make a bunch of noise pulling in to a CG at that hour

The bats are getting a roof and the dam seems to be working as designed.

That's the best dam picture I've seen in quite some time.

Happy Birthday!!

Disney will continue to raise prices until their fill rate drops. When that happens they will offer "incentives" to fill the place and people will think they are getting a deal. Fill rates will catch up, incentives will go away and price increases will ensue. It's all part of the Magic.

Spinner

We reserved a cart from Beachline for our visit in 2 weeks. No mention of picking up offsite. I think I will call and ask specifically.

Spinner

With the new tires you'll be happier. Equalizer is a good hitch if set up right.

Spinner

We have stayed in 1400 both trips to FW. Once with TT and once with MH. Love the inner loop. Kids ride and play with very little traffic. Close to campfire and pool.

You might consider getting a cart at least one day to go looping!!! After our last trip down thru Atlanta, I vowed "Never Again"! We came home thru AL and it was much lower stress.

Sounds like a great time you have planned, have fun!

Spinner

I'm sure they will lower the prices next year because people will be so upset about the price increase that attendance will fall...

Spinner

We always travel with protection. It's on my person unless we are in a gun unfriendly state(we try to avoid those). We stay at Walmarts or CGs. Haven't tried the Cracker Barrel yet, but wouldn't mind it. Won't stay at rest areas and try to avoid truck stops for overnight, mostly due to noise.

RVing isn't dangerous, but a little insurance doesn't hurt.

Have a great trip!

Spinner

The guy is a bonehead. I agree, but signs that say "No guns allowed" only pertain to good guys. I'm not sure Disney wants to advertise the fact that all patrons are defenseless targets, even if that is their policy.

That being said, I feel pretty safe there. As safe as I can feel among thousands of people. I'm not a big fan of crowded public venues, but the kids love The Mouse.

Spinner

Welcome!!!

It's open!!

Spinner

We were talking about a Mackinac Island trip and I'm sure we could plan it around the same time. I'll run it by the DW. Maybe for now.

Spinner

I have a Kenny cart right now! Spoke with him on the 4th when we picked it up and I'm sure ill hear from him when we drop it off in a few days.

Spinner

Thanks for the info, Lou. So it's cheaper to run buses to HS and AK than Epcot or FW decides how many of each park bus?

Spinner

Back to the topic, we didn't notice any mystery marquee changes, but we did sit thru 2 each AK and HS bus arrival and departures before the EPCOT bus showed up, and then it was standing room only. Some great Logistics Experts they have there at the WDW;) they must rely on the bus drivers' counts...LAL

Spinner

It was the campfire movie at FW tonight. It was pretty good! The boys loved it!!

Spinner

We are non-hoppers, for the reasons you mention, as well as most of the time we leave the park to come back and swim/eat with the intention of heading back only to find ourselves at the campfire or watching fireworks from the beach instead.

Spinner

Site 1453 3/4 to 3/14. BTW, the Kenny Cart is the shinizzle! Speedy!

Spinner

Does anyone know of USPSA or IDPA matches near FW?

Since trying action pistol competition a couple of years ago, I am hooked. I'd love to get an outdoor match in while I'm in FL. Only indoor matches going on in MN right now.

I'll be at FW from 3/4-3/14.

Spinner

I love the Y'all reference. And I really love hearing "All Y'all". Loosely translated in Minnesotan it's "Ya sure, you betcha!"

You forgot "Dontcha know?"

I'm a big fan of the "y'all"!

Spinner

Please people, pay attention.

Lou said he had hot pants.

And I get nothing? Nothing?

Did you say Hot Pockets??? Mmmmm.

Spinner

Thanks for all the great info! This place rocks. It's now on my short list of useful places on the interwebs. I think I will wait until closer to arrival, if not on arrival to check in.

Spinner

I noticed that I can check in online for my FW reservation even though I'm not arriving until 3/4. What does this mean? Do I get a site assignment? Do I still have to go thru the checkin line when I get to the Fort?

Please help this guy out!!
