ghost post.... Well it is October....

If the downloads are print quality and have the permission to print included, that is all I need.

Yuck. We have been dragging our feet about buying the APs since we aren't going until Thanksgiving. (Getting in gear so we can book Fastpasses, though.) This lovely increase will cost us $400. Can't get excited about the parking because we had that with previous APs. I was hoping the PhotoPass would make me feel better. Nope. Can someone enlighten me more? The way I read it, the photos you were already able to get by going online and accepting will now automatically appear- just stay longer. You STILL have to pay for anything printable. That makes it different from Memory Maker that

Wow. This guy's poor family. :faceplant2: Now here is what I can't get passed - There was a smell in his room bad enough to call the desk for help. But, wait, it will be ok until morning. And for the next few nights we want to extend our stay for..... Maybe the smell was so bad that it affected his memory about no vacancies. Or common sense.

No. If they are cooked correctly they have their own taste. Yummy-ness! I have had both overcooked and overseasoned and could not tell the difference from chicken. Waste of good southern food....

Finally! PhotoBucket has been driving me crazy. Here are pics of our newest family member. Getting hooked up to "Nox" to head home. Opened up in our carport. Well, now it is the "camper-port". :-) Having camped in a 1970s era PUP and only tent camped for the last few years, we feel like this is a mansion. The slide out dinette was a must on our list for room, but we had no idea about the possibility for a kitchen bay window. It really opens up the unit. We have a few trips planned; can't wait to get started!!!

I agree that your budget will be tricky to manage what you want. If you go with used just make sure the canvas (newer ones are vinyl) is in great condition. Stored indoors would be ideal. Repairs on a used one could easily equal a new one. Wishing you the best! We just bought a PUP ourselves - 2016 Forest River Flagstaff. Off to post pics. PhotoBucket has been driving me crazy!

Well, we are the proud owners of a 2016 Forest River Flagstaff Classic 425D!!! Pictures will be coming soon. We did loads of research and took all the info here into consideration. Though we thought we wanted a Jayco, we could not find any dealers anywhere near us that we could look at and investigate. Peco Campers (now owned by Campers Inn) in Tucker, GA, is about 90 miles from our home and has an extensive pop up inventory. We looked at lots! We had compared the floor plans of Jaycos and Forest Rivers online. We ultimately decided to go with Forest River because we could get a bigger

Thrill has a friend from college who is big in SCA. He and his wife and kids all dress the part and go under different names for all these gigs. The guy makes his own chain mail (sp) and fights in the battles. I think he was on the American team and went to international competition a year of so ago. Pretty intense stuff.

Awesome info folks! Thanks! Keep it coming. Oooh, good to know. I peeked at the site - looks like lots of great info. Thanks! We rented from Curt one time. It was a great way to see what was in the newer (read - not 1970s) models. IF I remember right he told me then that the Jaycos held up best. He could chime in again, though, if he has time.... We will be towing with an F150 crew cab. I have seen a few with a cabinet for a cassette toilet. That would be my preference. I am not sure I want the shower/humidity inside the camper. Most places we would stay would have c

I'm gonna need a Snarkey decal to go on that purple one...

Wow. Sad to hear. Though too expensive, we have always had good meals - especially the taco salads. Hope they up their game soon.

KFK

I'll throw out shrimp and grits (try Trails End or Boatwrights), Gravy and biscuits (Pop Century actually has good ones), Beignets at Port Orleans French Quarter, and Fried Chicken at Trails End (really, it IS better in the South).

Yahoo!!! Thrill has finished writing his dissertation and, while we are awaiting defense, presentation, and conferral, we are ready to start shopping!!! :jumpforjoy So, Here is what we need from our Fiends: Who here has had a pop up camper? What brand was it? What were the pros and cons of that brand? Even if you haven't had a pop up, what dealers have you dealt with in Georgia, Alabama, or Florida? Any with super great service? Any to avoid like the plague? Here is what we know: We definitely want a NEW pop up (not A line). Thrill's family had one for almost 40 years. We loved

Late to the trip report but enjoying it. Carry on!

Well, one $50 set would get you parking ($15 ahead of time, $18 day of) and you know you are going to end up feeding your kids and buying them something(s) anyway. AND I must say that the Granny Apple Fries are freaking good...

I'm in. Carry on.

And they (um...we) really appreciate it. Now if somebody out there would just cancel their pre-Thanksgiving Fort rezzies........

Nice to hear!

We did. Thanks for reading along!

We did not get annual passes. We did the 2 day pass. It isn't that much more than one. I am glad- one day would not have been enough but we probably would not go again in the next year. They did have a good selection of sets and individual specialty pieces. They have a small store dedicated to mini figs but the selection of pieces was not as good as the little area at downtown Disney.

Clanton is the peach capital of Alabama. It is located in the geographic center of the state about halfway between Birmingham and Montgomery on I-65. Thrill's parents have a second home near there so we go a time or two a year. Clanton is a charming little town with a slower pace of life. The local Wal-Mart carries an equal amount of Bama and Auburn gear. Regular interstate travelers through the area notice the giant peach shaped water tower - and how the red "crack" side faces the interstate - known affectionately as the Peach Butt. If you can't make it to their annual festival, be sure

Chime in and tell us all about festivals your family attends whether in your town or not. I know there are some beloved and sometimes strange ones out there! I have a few to share and would love to learn about more. Coming up: The Clanton, Alabama Peach Jam and (my hometown) the Corinth, Mississippi Slugburger Festival (and no, there are no snails/slugs in the burger! Stay tuned to learn more.)

Just a few more pics. We celebrated Thrill's grandma's 89th birthday while we were down with a trip to one of our favorite restaurants in Fort Lauderdale - The Old Heidelberg German Restaurant. A little pood forn: Potato soup My plate with spaetzle, red cabbage, sauerkraut, and an assortment of German sausages Thrill's veal Bavarian schnitzel: We always love going to Thrill's family's church when we are down to worship and see lots of old friends. It is such a pretty church! That night we enjoyed seeing the sunset while taking a break from packing to go home. Photos never do i
