Welcome aboard and thanks! 1500 has been pretty quiet, which is what we like! I'm really hoping for no bad storms, but we always experience storms when we're in the tent! Thanks for following along!

LOL! And thanks!

Thank you and good job on being first! Yeah, Buddy! There will be food pictures every time we eat in the restaurants! :) It really is a great location! We hear everything around us in this tent, though. There was a group of college-aged kids here the other night and when they were at our tent, the girl said "man, those people are in a super-tent". One of the guys said "yeah, it looks like a caterpillar". Guess what we call our tent now?

After lunch we headed back to the campsite to hang out for a bit and then headed back to the Magic Kingdom that night to ride a few things. Yesterday, we went over to Universal Studios for a bit. I love the Harry Potter stuff and wanted to hang out back there for a while. We rode Escape From Gringotts when we first got there. Kenneth also enjoyed a beer on the Hogwart's Express (he had an "Old Speckled Hen"). We looked at the menu for Three Broomsticks while we were in Hogsmeade (in Islands of Adventure), but took the train back over to Diagon Alley and had lunch at the Leaky Cauldron.

We're back at the Fort! We haven't camped here since last May. The last couple of times we've been here it has been brutally hot, so we really wanted to be here at a cooler time. We booked a partial hook-up site for this trip (last couple of times we stayed in 1700 so the dogs could hang with us). We were assigned 1501 (right behind the bus stop) and so far we're pretty happy with this site. It gets a bit noisy at times, but not enough to make us want to rip our hair out. The dogs are staying at Best Friends and we try to visit them every day and play for a while. Sometimes we put them

I really like that epcot mug. Here's the one at the Magic Kingdom,

I was scrolling through the news feed pretty quick and thought I saw "cannibals return to Earl of sandwich". I was thinking that it's time to stay the hell away from the Earl!

I'm in! Congratulations to your daughter on being cancer-free and making it into the show! Happy Birthday to her!

I'm late, but finally caught up! That video of Z is awesome - he was so excited! I love seeing pictures of him - you can tell that he's a happy kid!

Still loving this trip report! You are very good about getting food pictures! I think I'm usually so hungry that I just dig in - no patience. I've patched up stuff before, just to get a picture. :) We used to head over to Kimonos pretty often (can't remember if that's in Swan or Dolphin). It's been a long time since we've done that, though. The last time we went, it was karaoke night and super loud in there.

Y'all are cracking me up about that ferris wheel! I wish WDW would do the Nightmare Before Christmas setup on the Haunted Mansion! Reading this, I'm really wanting to head out that way to experience all of this (and try the ferris wheel)!

I love the Harry Potter areas of US and IOA! I have trouble with the rides with screens usually too. The ride in the Hogwart's castle made me sick the only time I ever rode it. I refuse to get back on now. The Gringott's ride didn't bother me at all. I also can't do Simpsons and Spider-Man, but I do fine with the Transformers ride. Maybe they've gotten better with this technology and the rides are just so much smoother? I don't know. We've got annual passes for Universal, along with our Disney passes. So, we try to work in a trip or two to Universal when we head down to Disney. I hav

I'm so in for this one! I would love to go to Disneyland in California one day. I've been to Tokyo Disneyland a few times but don't remember it. I'm so excited for y'all, just reading about this!

Glad to see Rocky making an appearance in your trip report. Disneyland?! That's awesome! Seeing the aftermath from all of that rain nearly gives me a panic attack. We've been in some heavy rain, in our tent, but overall we've been pretty lucky that it wasn't enough to destroy our stuff. We requested the 1500 loop for our January trip. I'm really nervous about ending up in 2000. I've never set foot in that loop, but I'm pretty sure I don't want to end up over there!

Man, I am itching to go on another DCL cruise! Looks like you guys had a great time!

We bought some of those zero-gravity chairs at Costco. We really like them - they're great for taking naps, outside. I agree with them not being very portable, though - pretty heavy and still pretty large when folded flat.

I'm in! That's really something that you didn't lose anything when that hatch was open. Your setup looks great!

Cute kids! And I love your daughter's Minnie dress!

Very sorry to hear about Kenzi.

Glad you liked the sunset pic. That was also something much more impressive in person. Why do you think you'll never see the Osborne Lights again in person? Because of work, we can't take time off in November and December. We've been early enough in January to see the lights in the past, but now our January trips will probably be towards the end of the month. I'd love to head down for a long weekend in December sometime, but it's pretty much impossible to swing that!

Nope. We've been DVC for a long time and we always get that itch to go to the Fort!

I am LOVING all of the pictures! Kassie looks like the sweetest puppy! Can't wait to see more.

I'm late, but I'm in! That sunset picture is great! I LOVE the Osborne lights - don't think I'll ever get to see them in person again, so I'm really loving those pics!

Yay!!!

We might have to come see you at next year's Eggtoberfest! I've never even heard of this event until reading this trip report. That Mini Max might be a good start for us. We don't really need anything too big, since it's just the two of us - and it would be good to have something easy to travel with.
