  1. Many here have had the same experience, some multiple times. And it's almost always the same story: Large groups of mostly unrelated people. It's not just one kind of group either, I have seen bad behaviour from Church Groups, Boy Scout Groups, and others. This issue would go away if the Fort would just require everyone to obey the same rules and if there is a problem your group isn't allowed back. Even better would be to require large groups to rent a group site (isn't that what they are for??). Instead, Disney allows them to rent multiple single sites (making it even
  2. It is sad..... We also only watch DisJr and DisXD, and the kids shows on PBS. DisneyJr is the only channel we can leave on w/o worrying even about the commercials, but he is outgrowing it fast and now wants to watch the "older" shows. I remember sneaking over to my friends house who had the premium PG and R channels on cable so we could watch the stuff we weren't supposed to see. Now, all you have to do to see the same (or worse, sometimes much worse) is flip on the TV to just about any channel on there. It's become a real race to the bottom the last few years.
  3. "...Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - the most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line"! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha.........thump..."
  4. Gone? So either she was working with someone else and/or she had another place to hide things.... Either way they should have fired her on the spot before she and her accomplices steal from other guests. (Thieves are almost never caught the first time, it's a good bet she'd been doing this for awhile)
  5. Insure that all receptacles used for outside activities or near a water source, are adequately protected with Ground Fault Circuit interruption. Refrain from attaching golf cart chargers, directly to the frame of a golf cart or other metal objects. Insure plugs are maintained in their original manufactured condition, replace if they have been tampered with. So sad. Talk about a string of bad events all contributing to a tragedy, I can't imagine how the family must feel. Thanks for sharing the good advice.
  6. From the above website: "43 Inconceivable Facts About “The Princess Bride” You Probably Never Knew" 36. The Princess Bride grossed only $30.8 million domestically, and didn’t become wildly popular until the VCR came out. and my favorite: 4. One of the R.O.U.S. actors got into a fight with his wife and burned down the kennel they owned, so the film crew bailed him out of jail so he could film the Fire Swamp scene.
  7. "Everything is awesome when we're living our dream!"
  8. The original Lego Movie is hysterical, but once again you have to be in the right frame of mind to laugh at the jokes (rapid fire and non-stop). If you aren't expecting the different levels of constant sarcasm it won't be as funny...... "Everything is Awesome!!" Most people who learn about using a "Phantom Campsite" know they are skirting the rules, don't want to get caught, and would probably feel that they should make it look like they are using the site. I know if I was doing it, even with what I know from past experience with Disney, I would still consider buy
  9. The Princess Bride is on my Top 10 list as well, but you do have to be in the mood for that sort of humor to really enjoy it. The first time I saw it I didn't like it, the next time though I thought it was great.... go figure LOL Now, if it pops up on cable, I sit down and watch it and laugh all over again Especially Andre the Giant, Billy Crystal and the epic Sword fight on top of the "Cliffs of Insanity" https://www.buzzfeed.com/keelyflaherty/inconceivable-facts-about-the-princess-bride-you-probably?utm_term=.ly10wK8JbQ#.vez1j5eLV0 33. Neither Cary Elwes or Mandy P
  10. What a great place! I like the park and the porch and outside of the cabin, but I wish they would have left the inside looking "cabiney" for lack of a better word (rustic?). Maybe it's just me but if I rent a cabin in the woods I don't want the inside to look like a generic condo.... That is cool, I've never seen one either. I am looking forward to going there sometime. And your right about the griddler usually getting lukewarm pancakes
  11. Yup. I didn't know that until I had ordered the plates. It's a great dinner set, really like the theme (and the ones above too), but I never use them because they won't go in the microwave. I know I could easily heat food in another dish, and I have done that, but most of the time it's just easier to use paper plates or a microwave safe plate. But I'm a guy so what do I know? I can boil water and thus create a panful of Kraft Mac and Cheese (that's what I lived on in college...) but even with Kraft nowadays I end up making their microwave version.... I'm sure others would not
  12. Those are nice. We got the "Camp Casual" set that someone here linked to last year: https://jet.com/product/detail/21469c0012b14286ba537faf3ee1fe76?jcmp=pla:ggl:NJ_dur_Gen_Automotive_Parts__Accessories_a2:Automotive_Parts__Accessories_RV_Parts__Accessories_Furnishings__Appliances_a2:na:PLA_785913093_44722405327_aud-155003204480:pla-296056823652:na:na:na:2&code=PLA15 They're great but I'm not sure how many times I'd want to put them thru the dishwasher. And the big problem for me is melamine is not microwave safe..... how can you cook w/o a microwave?? Besides, I'm wit
  13. I also cringe when someone on the Tiny House Shows talks about traveling.... I can see building one as a guest house/MIL house or putting one on vacant land you own, but traveling down the highway with it? On a regular basis? No way.
  14. They just wanted to share a site so they could go to Typhon Lagone and get a full days excitement......
  15. As far as crowding goes there are at least three trends that come to mind 1. US Population was 205 million in 1970, it is now 323 million. Most of that is Immigration, both Legal and Illegal. It's no wonder that Immigration is a hot political topic. Just too many people in areas that were originally designed and built for a smaller population. Constant Traffic Jams are the most obvious example of that, the highways and bridges weren't built for the volume they are now handling. At work we call that the "10lbs of S*** in a 5lb Bag Effect".... 2. As population grows and Urban are
  16. As mentioned above there are many more people in RVs these days and the RV makers still push the romantic Go RVing commercials. I'd like to see them do a spot where the family with kids is at this KOA:
  17. Correct, the TPG is Kanan, who is one of the last surviving Jedi and a leader of the Rebels, and the other is Sabine, she is another one of the Rebels. My boy LOVES Star Wars Rebels which is on the Disney XD channel. It's actually quite good and we both look forward to new episodes. There are several references to the Rebels from this show in Rogue One and their ship and their Droid both are seen briefly in the movie.
  18. Did you ever figure out what was up with the Men in Black? If not, do you remember one of them holding up a silver pen in front of you? The guy in the Popeye shirt kind of looks like Bruce McGill (D-Day from Animal House) with a flat top haircut. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0569226/
  19. This is the perfect example. EMH's were originally a perk designed to fill the Disney resorts. Now that demand is (mostly) higher than supply, they can safely cut perks and artificially create demand for costly add-ons that were previously included. It's a brilliant plan, cut down on basic services, create long lines, and then charge extra to those who naturally don't want to stand in those lines. How long can they keep doing it? As long as they have "unlimited" demand. Exactly. It's all short term. Until Disney, or one of their competitors, decide to address
  20. Agreed. Disney has clearly forgotten what their namesake's original vision was. I know this has been said many times here (too many ) but it needs saying again: Walt must be spinning in his grave.... I am a Free-Market person and I don't begrudge any Private Company from pursuing profit, especially when it creates healthy competition, but in many cases now Disney is chasing the high rollers at the direct expense of their customer base and the original company focus on family friendly entertainment. I think they have realized that their customer base is so wide and de
  21. LOL! That's too funny with your kids, I love that type of humor, it's too bad they even had any awareness at all of Disney's "Snowflake" Policies.... "I used to be a people person until people ruined it for me." We need to get this on a bumper sticker with a Snarky on it LOL We have a saying at work (Police Dept): "Cop's aren't racist, sexist, or homophobic, we hate everyone equally!" Or when the excrement is hitting the rotating blades we just use the short version: "People Suck!"
  22. Those would be perfect for the battle, except you'd need Blue and Gray Jarts not blue and red.... "Death from Above..."
  23. They sell those screen door savers at Home Depot, they are in the pet section near the heavy duty pet screening that we also used. the metal saver was easy to install and worked great. We put a hook and eye on the upper part of the screen door that was out of our son's reach at the time. And I put on a door-return spring to keep the screen closed (little kids NEVER close the door behind them... ) as well as a straight grab bar that goes on the inside of the screen door. We used a wooden child gate (10 dollars at Walmart) to wedge in front of the stairwell when he was very small. We
