I still need one for my driveway. It may change when I have my van all set up to tow but with my friend's F-150 the sway bar set up bottomed out on the driveway going in so she had to pull it in. So, with a dolly I can turn it around and have much better access to it, and see the door from my  window rather than it facing away.  Makes for better driveway camping too. 

Although it's expensive, the remote power mover is worth the price!!! 

Just watched Pixar in Real Life Shorts.... Very funny and cute 🙂

The only thing they might do is 15 months for the price of 12 like they did once before.

Also EONS ago, they had "Sponsor a friend AP ". So if you knew someone that had an AP, you could both show up at the ticket window and get an AP at a significant discount.

I've been watching the Imagineering Story, Frank and Ollie, Waking Up Sleeping Beauty, A Day in Disney, and other "behind the scenes" shows. We did figure out how to watch it on the big TV in the living room, just can't use the surround sound.

I can!

Yes. TRON has continued, and as stated here, Reflections, as well as the attractions at Epcot that are closer to completion such as Guardians of the Galaxy and Ratatouille.  The other projects have been halted, such as the Star Wars hotel and the other construction projects at Epcot.  However, Imagineering has applied for more permits for the new play attraction at Epcot.  I think the halts to construction were more to improve cash flow than prevent the spread of the virus.

I read somewhere that the permits were done quickly before those workers that actually filled out the permit requests were furloughed. That way the approval process could be underway.

From what I understand, they are paid peanuts during their contract and a lot of their pay depends on tips. It's great that they get a place to stay and food to eat.

Several sources reported that several permits were filed for Reflections in the last few days.

I just booked Site 69 - Friday - Sunday

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

I haven’t seen anyone mention that WDW is immediately terminating all of the current College Program castmembers and all international exchange castmembers and having them vacate Disney housing this week. 

That is about 8000+ CM’s, all of whom work in the front lines of attractions, retail, recreation, custodial and more.

The Parks cannot operate at normal capacity without these CM’s, and the next batch isn’t scheduled to arrive until mid-May. 

These moves by Disney suggest that the shutdown is going to go well beyond April 1. And when the parks finally do open, expect reduced operating hours and little entertainment. 

TCD 

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.

Works for me 🙂

I am interested but at this point I have no idea what we will even have for a camper. Still waiting to hear what is wrong with the bus. 

Ooooh noooooo, not again. You've put so much into the bus.......

No conflicts at all

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.)

Just stay away from the pre-made frozen drinks!  

They are really watered down.

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

Generally yes, but  If I remember correctly there was some swimming going on last year. That was the last weekend of September. 

True, but EVERY weekend last summer was blistering hot!!

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. 

I'm up for any weekend, but the later in the month, the cooler weather it will be :)

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 T@B 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.
