I may be a little late on this, but instead of using that direct link if you order, go to the Amazon link on the main page and search and order it from there!! That way Fort Fiends gets a cut of your order!!!!!

However, being at the #1 spot makes for a cool picture op!

Ok now I can tell you what the fort inspired me to do, so of you have heard this (so don't read it LOL). When I married Bitchy he said he thought we should get a motorhome, his DB had one and he loved it (I didn't want to be like by sister-in-law and I am not). I told him he married the WRONG woman. My idea of vacation was not cooking and cleaning, I wanted to be waited on.
We used to come to Orlando for a golf show every year and one year his DB brought the MH and stayed at the fort. Well I fell in love with the fort. So soon after we brought our 1st MH. I thought every CG was like the fort. HA HA joke was on me. 1st place we stayed was someplace in West Palm Beach, I was afraid to come out of the MH the place was so bad.
We learned that the fort was our fav place, we also learned how to pick better CG.
We have had 7 units since then and have been camping at the fort for 32 years, I love it more now. For years we camped alone, (my family thinks we are nuts) we met people along the way, but never like the Fiends, that has even made the fort more special for us, because now we share it with people WHO GET IT.

The fountain takes on an entirely different quality at night!

I love this fountain so much, I thought it deserved it's own picture thread!
I uploaded a set of pictures larger than I normally do just to see how the bigger file size would translate over here!

Here is my favorite, and I played with a few photobucket settings

My VERY FIRST Carousel Ride!!! Although I wish I had found "the grandpa" seat. That horse was not easy to get on and off!!!!

Oooh, I'd forgotten about the door!!!!!
Actually, I'm thinking it's a Punch Drunk smile, but who am I to argue!!! I'm HAPPY!!!!!!!

Did ya'll know that 2100 Loop used to be a camping loop??
Well here is the evidence!!
Looky here, a water/electric post right next to a cabin in the 2100 Loop


This building is right in the middle of the 2100 Loop. It obviously used to be a comfort station

OK, you have a big crew and are staying in a cabin. That one teeny bathroom for 6 of you to get ready isn't gonna cut it, so what ya gonna do??
Request the 2100 Loop and you'll have a nice comfort station nearby.
Let me illustrate.
So, here I am looking at the comfort station that is located in the 1100 Loop.

I turn around and here is this sidewalk. See the cabins!!

Continuing down the sidewalk

And you come upon the following cabins very close!!



You can see the comfort station in the background from this shot



So there you have it. A comfort station that seems like it was almost designed to be used by the cabin dwellers!!

Some of us stayed back at the site while these WW played with Mickey and the Barrels LOL.
Ok thank all of u for loving my BIG MOUTH pictures, I don't seem to keep it shut. So I am either laughing or talking someones ear off LOL.
Loving the TR because U ALL (my way of saying it) know I am not good at them. I do have some pictures of all of us saying goodby to the barrels, which I have to upload (not so good at doing this) during the week.
This has been one of the best trips I have had, we need to add another W to WWW for the most Wonderful Women in the world, to have such great fiends to spend great times with is what it is all about.
I keep thinking about the Master Charge commercial when I think of this weekend
$2,000 to come to Disney for a week charge it on MC, another $1,000 to eat in their restaurants charge it to MC. Wake up every morning and go to sleep every night to the sound of the most Wonderful Woman in the World PRICLESS :heartsmiley: Love U ALL

ATTENTION!!!!!!!
We have reached the 100 day mark!!!!!

That is all.

Carousel of Progress is my all-time favorite attraction at Walt Disney World!!! (No comments from the peanut gallery Lou!)

Love the pages section!!!!

If we have anything to say about it, it will be.
The FHF gears are turning.

Lots of folks stop at In and Out in Lake City. That's about 3 hours out though.
I don't have any personal experience, but there is the KOA Wildwood at the exit just before you enter the Turnpike

If I know that group, and I probably know LOTS of the group that came personally, 99% of them were Disney Resort Guests, DVC members, and/or Cast Members. This particular group spends THOUSANDS of dollars at Disney every year. Believe me, they are NOT FREELOADERS.

Great, a new way to get 120 of my closest friends in the fort as guest without making a trails end ressie or reserving a site....lol. Although I would focus on showing them the pool not the decorations
