I'm just catching up, I'm reading bungalows and suites. Does that mean overnight stays?

I really feel for some of these kids. Some are probably hundreds of miles from home, I'm guessing some without cars, and they or their parents may not have the means to just pickup and get home. And the international kids. It's going to be a nightmare to get them home.

Disney XD is having a marathon of the new Mickey Mouse shorts today. Thought I would check them out...... welll, I didn't last 5 minutes.... So bad, so spastic, and I hate the new animation.

One of the site workers at Disney says certain brands of chalk need a power washer to get it up.

You can also get off of I-4 at Exit 101C just past Lake Monroe and take State Rd 46 West to 429 South (Toll) which then takes you to Western Way (Exit 8), and then onto Disney Property just next to Coronado Springs. (This Northern extension of 429 South is fairly recent.)

Sorry, can't turn down the Grand Marnier Slushie at Epcot

The Womenz rode Saturday. We were all in the park 30 minutes before opening. We got into the masses and also parked ourselves near one of the Blue umbrellas guest experience staff. We did manage to get 7 of the 8 of us in a backup boarding group. For some reason, person number 8 wasn't on our list. We then turned to the Blue umbrella person and they were able to add our number 8 person. We then proceeded to Smugglers Run and then the rest of our day. Our boarding group was called about 3:30 pm, but we were in Muppets, so when we left Muppets, we headed over, and the ride had shut down. Instead of waiting near the entrance like lemmings, we decided to go to Rontos Roasters for a snack and a seat. Once it started up again, we went back over and had about a 90 minute time in line due to about 8 boarding groups showing up at once. The ride was amazing, but it was stressful. My 2 year old Note 8 never even showed the button to register for a boarding group. In the future, I'm going to park myself near the Blue Umbrella, hand them our Magic Bands, and let them put us in a group.

One thing though, is if you do online checkin and get your site number sent to you, Camper Rental Adventures will go ahead and set up once you give them the site number. That's what we did last year when the Womenz rented from them. I was at Wal-Mart picking up groceries when I got my text, and I let Camper Rental Adventures know my site number, and they had it set up before I arrived.

I really enjoyed Cave Country, have stayed there twice. Really nice people, and ultra clean shower rooms.

I've run into the same thing with my 16 foot teardrop, especially with sewer. I've got plenty of water hose and electric cord, but only about 20 ft of sewer hose. Sometimes I even like to put my trailer sideways across the back of the site. But I only have grey water, so in those instances I just use a small bucket under the grey water drain, and empty it into the sewer as needed.

I've actually parked my [email protected] behind a MH at the Fort a couple of times many years ago, but then they cracked down on that rule about 2013. It has always been a rule for one camping vehicle, 1 car, and tents, and when I first started camping there, it was VERY strictly enforced. As a matter of fact, someone had a truck camper on their tow vehicle pulling a camper, and they told them they couldn't do that on the same site. Then for a few years, they quit enforcing that rule, and then they started enforcing again. Every time the management changes, the rules enforcement seems to change.

Nope, not allowed. The official rules state one trailer/MH unit and tents

I'm partial, but nuCamp is one of the best in the small camper market ([email protected] 320, [email protected] 400, [email protected], Cirrus Truck Camper). They have recently come out with a larger travel trailer called the Avia that is fabulous, but very pricey. All cabinetry built onsite by hand, and fabulous fit and finish. Amish run company. The current Little Guy brand is crap and has had some bad business practices.

The show has changed a lot over the years, but we took our 10 and 11 yo boys to the Luau in 1997, and they loved it! Granted, they were and still are adventurous, bottomless pit eaters, but enjoyed the show also. Back then, it was more of a traditional luau, now it has a bit of a story to it, with "Hawaiian girl goes to the mainland and has to be reminded of her "Ohana" heritage. Hubby and myself have been back a couple of times. Food was decent, but it isn't really repeatable for us.

Also, while you are in the park waiting for park opening, try and find one of the blue "guest services" umbrellas/tents and park yourself near it. If for some reason the system doesn't see that your entire party is in the park, they will have to add you to the boarding group on their system. Being close to them will speed up that process.
