Can't they follow Coruscant employment laws?  They're probably more easily enforceable than most US employment laws.  

Happy birthday!!  Sounds like a good plan.

There is no doubt that Ben is a talented entertainer.  As I have previously posted, my family really loves him in the role of Six Bits, and we also enjoyed seeing him in the Frozen show.  However, I checked out his YouTube show and it just wasn't for me.  Like everything on social media, it's not my thing.  Maybe I'm getting old, but all of this new media, YouTube, Twitter crap wore thin on me a long time ago.  In any case, you'll have to excuse me.  It's time for Andy Griffith and I can't catch it later as my VCR is broken.

Spent 1 night last week while on our way south at this campground just off I-65 in Jemison, Alabama.  Based on the reviews online, I didn't expect much.  I got less than expected.  
Our site

Firepit at our site.  Yes, it was pretty much just a pile of cigarette butts.  The nice part is, it was close enough to the bunk slide that I could have put Anna to bed, started a fire, and she could get a nice nicotine buzz right in her bed.

If you need to do some laundry, the machines are accessible 24 hours/day and you can enjoy the stars while waiting for the dryer cycle to end.

Here is the outside of the bath house.  Trust me, I am doing you a huge favor by not showing the inside.  Tile was broken and pulled away, dirty, hair, etc.  But on a positive note, there was plenty of soap and shampoo to use that is apparently kept in the stalls by the campground's permanent residents.  

It's hard to judge a pool during the off season, so I won't.  I will point out though that, according to the website, it is apparently one of the last stainless steel pools installed in America.  In 1974.  

The playground could use some work.  The rock wall was rotting and pulling away from the structure, and if you plan on sitting on the bench while your kids play, be aware that there is a fire ant mound right underneath the bench.

The pros....well, apparently the 50 amp service was reliable as my EMS allowed power through to my rig.  The site was fairly level.  And it was convenient to the interstate.  I told INC that perhaps we could return someday and spend a few days.  She said maybe I should save that trip for my 2nd wife. 

Before I go forward, I want to thank DIT and WBI for their TR's earlier this year from their Wonder cruises. I got some great tips from you both- especially the chicken wings in the Crown and Fin tip. Those were great!

Congratulations!!  
May I suggest that you avoid O'hana?

You just wanted the goodie bag.  

You are assuming that Fort management is actually going to enforce this new rule.  My prediction is that nothing will change at the campsites.  They say there is space for one car per campsite...in fact, re-read the language we've seen:
Complimentary standard parking is available to Guests staying at Campsites at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort. Each campsite provides parking space for one (1) motorized vehicle
How is this any different from what is already in place?  This tells me that they will not charge for parking for campsite guests.  They reserve the right to charge if you have more than one vehicle, and perhaps they will try to do this, at first.  But then they will have to police every site.  They'll have to leave notes on cars where there is more than one per campsite.  Ok...so what exactly has changed here from the way it has been for many years?  Other than the possibility of more revenue, but Disney likes revenue that is easy and non-confrontational to obtain.  In this case, they'll have to continually piss off guests by telling them they will need to pay for that extra car or 2 on the site.  Fort management has shown zero inclination over the years of wanting to enforce rules that tick off guests.  So I predict nothing will change, no one will be charged, and the huge groups that take over on weekends and holidays will continue to do so.  

But then at the end of your stay you just have to go get your car from the impound lot. They probably charge less  per day than Disney.   There you go, folks....I just found a loophole!

The reaction online every time Disney increases costs or implements new fees is predictable.  Outrage, and proclamations of "I'm done!  I'm spending my vacation dollars elsewhere!".  I've done it myself...many times.  And I have reduced frequency of visits, and gone to other places.  And yet, WDW attendance has not declined, and most of us do return at least occasionally.  Why?  Because, let's face it, there is nothing comparable elsewhere.  Sure, there are other theme parks, resorts, and fun destinations.  But there is no other place that offers everything WDW does in one massive, magical, pixie dust filled bubble.  That is why they get away with this, and will continue to get away with it.  If your local restaurant tried to keep raising prices, competition would do them in.  But at this point, Disney doesn't have that problem.  If you stay away, another American, or 15 Brazilians, will take your place.   The MK is already near capacity most days.  Pandora has helped AK approach capacity.  Just wait until SW Land opens and HS will max out.  I'm sure Epcot will get there too once they complete all of the upcoming work, and if not they'll just add more festival days.  So the point is, if you don't like this, I don't blame you.  But your choice is to suck it up, or go elsewhere.  Disney doesn't care what you do.  Their capacity is going to be maxed out for many years to come, barring a significant worldwide recession, so driving some guests away doesn't hurt them.  This is simply the law of supply and demand on painful display.    
Now, with that said, I need to go make some ADR's....

There is no way they will ever hand Mickey a gun again.  I think Disney has been exposed as a bunch of musophobic hypocrites.

But, but, but.....she's holding a GUN!!??!!!

I normally hold my tongue, so I bet you were surprised it was me.  

I'll see you suckers on eBay.  

None of this would be an issue if Disney would just ban children from the parks.  

But cinnamon has 3 syllables.
