We just got home this afternoon from our first family week at the Fort. The kid's had a great time. Even my wife said it was a great vacation. We learned that there are things we thought we needed that we didn't. Things we thought we could do without that it would have been nice to have. Everyone agreed that we could have used more time. With set-up on Sunday, five days during the week to do the parks, DTD and a few resort meals and then tear-down on Saturday, it seemed like there were a lot of activities that we missed out on at the Fort. We will be doing a sit down debriefing so we can all have input for our next trip to the Fort. And that's the best part of all, everyone wants to do it again. Success!

Lou's waiting for the entire set, then he'll bid. :rotfl6:

We would still be there if they didn't raise the prices. Figured we could use the money to travel more. Heading to Disneyland in June for the big celebration.

485 continuous days.

The blacksmith was there last Thursday.  We watched him for about 15 minutes while he was putting new shoes on a horse.

There will be some of this  :banana: 
 
Some of this  :wine:  :doublebeer: 
Some of this  :rollercoaster:

My daughter put the "ears" in the picture to make it look artistic.  LOL  I am thinking of making one with purple ruffles for WWW. :)

The system is obviously outdated.  When I logged onto MDE last night this is what was displayed.
 

Super late catching up but love the recent HM photos!!
 
And bonus points for scoring the sweatshirt at a steal.
 
Yvonne... thanks for sharing those photos.  Adorable children are always allowed to wear costumes.  :)
 
 
Oh I bet a few could be convinced. 

I love this photo, and promise to faithfully recreate it during WWW.

The Fort is not going anywhere.  It is written into the Disney By-Laws, ever since Walt landed his seaplane on Bay Lake and set about mowing the grass around the Settlement to have a place to camp.  He leaned the mower against a fast growing tree and decided at that moment that the land he had just mowed should be made into a campground in perpetuity.  That very next day, he and Roy celebrated by diving into the nearby swimmin hole.  Unfortunately, Walt contracted a brain eating amoeba that day.  Doctors tried freezing his brain to halt the spread of the amoeba but it was to no avail.  Lucky for us, Roy carried out Walt's plans, and to this day we have the Fort to enjoy. 

It's a whole lot more money.  And besides, stop getting all your boy cooties on our pretty girl thread.  :stars-shower-smiley:  :animated-smileys-character-024:  :bf-birddancingsmiley:  :peacock:  :yaya-sisters-smiley:

I really thought you were trying to start another cinnamon roll thread!  

I am sure Dave will love it now.  This is just the thing to entice him back to WDW.

I can't wait to see it in person too!  :)

I am not sure anyone else has mentioned this - FW is not strict about pets only being on pet loops.  You might want to note that on your site request.  part of the problem, I think, is people who don't mention their pets when checking in.

In January 2014, while I was misbehaving practicing Sunday School lessons with the Wild Womenz, my daughter brought a friend, Gracie, to WDW.  
 
The friend had never been, and relied on Sarah to research and plan the trip.  
 
At one point, they went on the Jungle Cruise.  
 
Gracie thought it was going to be a serious ride, similar to the safari at AK.  
 
Then the jokes started.  
 
Gracie was laughing so hard she could barely catch her breath between jokes.
 
That, my friends, is the way to enjoy the Jungle Cruise.  Sarah is not even sad that it will be down when we go this Spring.  Without some unsuspecting newbie to laugh at the jokes, it just isn't as much fun.  
 
(But if it were open, we would ride it, if just to sing the Weird Al Yankovic song.)

Frozen Dance party, which will change to Fro-Zone dance party when they release Incredibles 2.

They do have design stations as part of the single rider line. They are not in the design room though. You also do not get to design your own car. You get to choose predefined cars.
If I remember correctly though, if you designed a car before using your mb, it will still be on there.

Yes there are folks that think the rules don't apply to them, but these days when it comes to pets in what have previously not been designated as "pet loops" it's just as likely that Disney put them there.
 
If you're going to call/fax a loop/site request, the best you can probably do is explain why it would be really helpful if you weren't assigned to a site near a bunch of dogs.  That's still not a guarantee, but it certainly couldn't hurt.

Before we return to the Magic Kingdom on the evening of 12/23, I need to backtrack a bit as my Memory Maker pictures are a bit out of order and I failed to post some 7DMT ride photos.  
 
Plus, looking at those pictures reminds me of something.  
 
We actually rode twice in a row.  
 
As we were exiting the ride after using our FP+'s, the CM at the exit said that it looked like Anna was having a blast, and wanted to know if we would like to ride again.  
 
Of course we would!  
 
I was going to tell this story later in the report as I recalled that happening on our 2nd MK day.  Which it did.  I had forgotten that it happened twice.  Once each day.  
 
That is a bit of what I earlier referred to as the wonderful treatment that Anna receives in the parks.  Those experiences were some of the highlights of the trip.  Those are the things that evoke the Disney of old.  And that's where our memories and emotions become conflicted.  That's why I love Disney, at the same time that I hate Disney.  
 
I think many of you can understand that.  
 
In any case, here are some 7DMT ride photos for your viewing pleasure.  :)
 

 
Once again, I'm stuck next to RW....Random Woman.  
 

 

 

 
And here we are riding a 2nd consecutive time!  Plus this time we got to ride with the cast of the Big Bang Theory.
 

 

 

 

 
Ok....now that those are out of the way, I'll work on an update for our evening at the MK.  
 
It was a late night!  Well, late for us anyways.  The latest we have ever stayed in a park!

I have said before that looking of pictures of Anna make me cry.  The joy on her face - when I think of how her life might have been - it just makes me get weepy.  But those pictures with Rapunzel actually made me sob.
 
Maybe I need my meds adjusted.
 
Maybe i just need meds.
 
Or more alcohol and chocolate.  That must be it.
