You're remembering right- lunch used to be considerably cheaper than dinner. But Disney can't have that. And they do a great job at making it hard for guests to see the actual prices.

A couple months after the protests started getting intense, there was an article about the drop in overall tourism to that area.  They had a lot of pictures of Disney with very little visitors and no lines.
I'm sure it hasn't gotten any better.

The playground as it stood yesterday:

Okay Fiends... this has nothing do with with camping (except, it is set in the outdoors.. LOL), but my baby brother plays the guitar, did the male vocals and produced this video.  I am so stinkin' proud of him!!  We grew up on a small island in the Pacific NW and he is still in the Skagit Valley, so not a hotbed of band/video production activity, but goodness:  I think they look amazing!  He's been with this band, for several years now.  BTW, I'm 48 and he's 38... so I guess "baby" brother is a relative term (or, at least, an affectionate one for our family... once the baby, always the baby ❤️).
Hope you enjoy this, as much as I did ❤️
 

Well some folks got to ride yesterday.  I saw some video and it looks pretty darned amazing.

I have watched both episodes of the Mandalorian and Imagineering. They are really good.

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) 

Some more pictures from yesterday.  These are from the area of the playground and beach near Trails End.
 




 

There were some pictures/videos on FB of the show, taken from nearby neighborhoods

If I had to witness (or had to myself) someone pooping in one of those bags then yeah they would owe me some stuff lol

No they haven't. I'm guessing they are going to set up a kiosk somewhere to show the locations

We had a Leave a Legacy tile, so at least once per trip, we actually dropped by to visit it, but yes, the presentation of those was terrible.
 

Or a 10 minute bike ride or a 15 to 20 minute walk

It will be wonderful when they get the Sawgrass extension completed.  It was in progress when we last looked,

Here are some pictures taken today of the area formerly known as River Country.  The first 3 pictures were taken where the River Country Entrance used to be (near Clementine's Beach):



This picture shows how you can now see the Contemporary from the horse barn:

Sorry to hear about the total on your RV but it is good that the manufacturer will replace it with a new one. Since the new floor plan doesn't suit you as well do they have one that does? I think with the dangerous design flaw your original trailer had they should be somewhat flexible on the replacement. After all the types of failures you've had could have cost them much more if there had been injury or death involved.

If you just want to fill a water bottle, use the water fountain in the comfort station laundry room - the water is chilled and filtered.

Will do.
 
We rode through the KOA some years ago. I thought the sites were way too close together for the most part. I hate sites where your table is 3' from your neighbor's stinky slinky. Greenbrier in Gatlinburg is nice, but it is hard to get a reservation.

You mean the "old" beach from the 70's!  Like in the train video.
That's where we used to come to picnic when we were in the Orlando area.
We would buy fresh made to order sandwiches from the deli in the Settlement trading Post, then go have a picnic while the kids played in the lake

Same. 
It's interesting that they haven't announced bringing it back to Disneyland. 
We ought to know what's happening after next month's D23 Expo.

I’d like to see Paint the Night come to Florida for the 50th. 

I wish my kids could ride the train, the tram, swim at the beach, play on the good playgrounds, throw trash into a tree stump trash can, walk the swamp trail, go to RC, etc.....like I did as a kid.
 
 
 

Not sure if this one has been shared before but I don't recall seeing it.
 

So has Universal. If you read the non Disney written articles part of that is being done to control the crowds and it's not working. Prices go up and crowds get bigger so apparently it's not hurting too many families. This past fall Linda and I never found a "slow" day at the Parks, lines for many attractions were ridiculous. MK has been open 15 min and already a 60 min wait for SDMT..  AK already has a 90 min wait for AVATAR.  HS 90 min for Slinky Dog.  So somebody's buying tickets.  

I find the new one difficult to follow since the destinations are not presented in a logical order.  I also wish there were more US locations besides Monument Valley, but that is beautiful.  I do like the projection quality though.
