Ok looking at a dodge 1500 14
djsamuel replied to Daverene's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
What's the difference with the towing? With the 8 speed transmission, you'll be feeling more shifting, if that is something you're noticing. -
It starts in the morning, if you have time to park the camper in the overflow lot and take the bus over.

Enjoy! :thumbsup1: -
I think I'll be there as well. I'm wondering how they will park everybody this year. Last year traffic was a nightmare, and that was without the construction.

Ok looking at a dodge 1500 14
djsamuel replied to Daverene's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
The ecoDiesel engine is really good. It is a 3.0L V6, and the reviews have been excellent. However, it is still in short supply, and in demand, so you may have some difficulty finding one, or may have to wait if you order one. However, if you don't want a diesel, the Hemi is an excellent engine. The increased mileage of the diesel is partially offset by the increased cost of diesel fuel over gasoline, but the bigger benefits are the high torque (and therefore better towing, especially in the mountains). Either engine, you should really like the truck. -

I have 2009 Ram 1500 with the 4.7L engine. If the towing with the 4.7 is any indication, the 5.7L will tow great. I do know a few people with the Hemi in their Ram 1500 and they are very happy towing with them. -
Star Wars Weekends 2014 update
djsamuel replied to Katman1356...Jason's topic in WDW and Disney Park Discussions
I was kind of surprised he looks as good as he does, given the previous pictures. I figured they would need to be preparing for the movie. -
Star Wars Weekends 2014 update

My daughter was in the standby line to see Mark Hamill today (she thought from a distance). He came out to visit the people in line. She got to meet him and said he was extremely nice. Here is a picture: -
Unfortunately it's time to go
djsamuel replied to VolfanTim's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
It really is hard to leave. Even though I live nearby, I still hate that part. There is something about the Fort that makes it an oasis. We'll be at Lake Louisa State park this weekend, but that is nothing like the Fort. We'll be back at the Fort in mid August, unless we can get there earlier! -
On Mother's Day Weekend, my Magic Band did work at the gate next to the guard shack. Maybe I got lucky each time. I do notice though, that even in the resorts when the Magic Band is used as a room key, it is somewhat sensitive to positioning over the sensor.

Early Arrival Question
djsamuel replied to PAWDWcamper's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
Just curious, if you stop at Earl of Sandwich (which I assume you mean) prior to check in, do you drop the trailer off at the Campground overflow lot? Can't imagine where you'd park the trailer at Downtown Disney, especially now with the construction. -

Let's see what happens over the next few days now that it is getting very hot. Up to 98 degrees on Saturday. :bugeyes:

They are out over here in nearby Clermont, and have been for a few weeks. However, we were at Fort Wilderness over Mother's Day weekend and they weren't a problem there. That may have changed by now though.

Fast pass for parades?

It was at the Town Square a few weeks ago. -

A few weeks ago, during the new 3PM parade (forget the name), there were handicapped areas set up. -
Post Your Pictures From the Fort Here!

No, he fell off the chair. He was on his way back from Crockett's Tavern. :clint: -
