twiceblessed....nacole

We were 3 hours into a 3 hour road trip. Found a hardworking mobile welder and we’re bsck on the road...after a 4.5 hour delay. Praising God though, as it could have been worse (no real damage) and had we not decided to go a day early, this would have happened on Thanksgiving and then...who knows how long a repair would have taken. We had pulled over for fuel, and because this has already happened to me once, I’m now inthe habit of looking underneath and checking at stops. So, we were at a gas station when we found the broken weld and (thankfully) not on the side of a busy or

On the side of the road...with yet another broken weld! Flippin! That’s now two (total) broken spring leaf brackets, on two different rigs. Good grief 🤦‍♀️😥

Oh... I hope so! That's how the parties are supposed to be! ❤️

Yes!!

Probably so.

Haha... that made me chuckle

Love seeing the Christmas decorations. Those puppet things at the AK were super cute. Not being able to ask if a dog is a service dog, is PC as it's worst. Ridiculous. Umm.... bacon on ice cream?

Agreed... it does reduce flexibility.

Oh... I hope you loved the Christmas party! It is my absolute favorite! Unfortunately for us, they oversold terribly last year and it was butt-to-butt people. Not good. But the decorations and parade are my favorite ❤️ Glad you got a spot over in 1500; that's such a sweet site.

Yep. Disney needs to make FF an offer for their information It really is a no-brainer... but then again, we are talking about the Fort, the black sheep of Disney. Again, I'll say I wish the Fort would just go site specific. They could utilize the FF site, which would allow folks to see and have specific information on the site before they book it. I don't know. I guess if they at least as the FF site, then they could help folks find a better spot at check in. Oh well, at least we have it (which works great if the sites we offer up are open)

Yes. Now that our girl has started riding, we've talked about another trail ride at Disney and she said, "no thank you...boring". LOL

Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary! Great start to the report; happy to be following along

I really wish the Fort would just go site specific or at least allow you to choose your loop.

I did this with our daughter, the year she turned 9. It was before she has started taking riding lessons and working with horses, so it was a huge thrill for her ❤️

So sad to hear about the neighbors. I always want people to have a good time, but the Fort is so expensive that when their "good time" dampers (or ruins) my good time... that's when it gets really tough. Also sad to hear about the tetherball. Not good. Oh... and the dogs? I don't know why it's so tough, for the Fort to enforce the rules. Sounds like getting your camper was actually a lot of work! Not sure whey that surprises me actually, finding a good one is a lot of work. Glad you've got it now and you can enjoy it

I just can't

Glad it went smoothly and you found what you were looking for

Looking forward to this! Somehow I missed that you were up in our area to pick up your camper...

Love that you're doing this, Ray ❤️ We had breakfast at the Beach Club Resort. It was just take-out from the quick service, but the patio there is so pretty. Afterwards, you can walk along the beach area, grab a swing and talk. It's such a pretty place, that even a simple Mickey waffle is extra special ❤️

Haha... that's cute

Oh... my heart

This pic was posted on a FB page. Mercy... this is SO sad. The trees are all gone (this is where the barn was) and now you can see the Lodge! Notice the sweet deer, on the left side of the picture, on the small mound of dirt. This hurts my heart....

Thank you!

Thank you, good thoughts. I don’t know that finding something here would be the best fit, simply because we’ll probably camp before and after, so the 3 night need (for the cruise) would end up being much longer if we left him here. Having said that, I have had a couple of Fiends reach out to me and offer up solutions for taking care of Simon there in FL ❤️

The Fiesta has offered to put us in a lot, farther out, for the $40..... but after talking to so many, the North VIP sounds like one to take. However, we did a day at the MK this past trip and hate to say it: we missed the parks. So, I think we'll use the money we would have used to go to the balloon fiesta, to save for tickets (probably not APs, but regular tickets). Honestly, this would have been more for Tom and I; I think the kids would have liked it, for a couple of hours. Plus when I asked them if they'd rather do the fiesta or a couple days at the parks... the Mouse won. LOL
