Ok....1 more post before I turn in tonight. Sunday Nov 20th The kids were busting at the seams by the time we reached the gates. Truth be told I was too. The final miles into the Fort are always exciting. We pulled up to the guard shack at the Fort and was greeted by a LOT of others trying to check in also. As luck would have it the traffic guy stopped us for just a minute, and by then lane 1 opened up and we pulled right in. This is where it almost went south for us. We were greeted by a nice lady who informed us that this was her first day on her own without a trainer. She took my debit card to pay off the remainder of our stay. Then she says that it won't go through. My first thought was "#$%^, that double scan for the last diesel fill up probably locked my card". Normally I am an anti cash person. I just don't like carrying very much, but I had put some back in my wallet for the trip. So we were able to check in with $100 to spare. Crisis averted! We were assigned to site 430. I had requested the 500 loop. I wasn't too impressed with 430. I liked the location along the road, but it just wasn't wide enough or long enough for rig. I had to back my truck up under the awning a bit just to clear the road. I thought about trying for another site, but frankly I was just glad to be there....and it wasn't too bad. I tried to phone my bank to straighten out the debit card stuff, but trying to get anyone on a Sunday is pointless. So I took a walk up to the marina and Pioneer Hall. This area is my favorite of the Fort. I could spend all day hanging out.
I decided to try my card one more time, since I couldn't talk to my bank. Luckily, it must have been some glitch, because I walked away with 4 six day passes. We rested up for bit then hit MK for some evening fun.
Now we have been to Disney many many times, but never during the Holidays. My wife and I were blown away with how pretty everything is. My wife literally teared up when she saw the castle lights for the first time.
We did Pirates, BTMR, watched the electrical parade, and Wishes. It was a good first day. Next up....HS mission Disclaimer...normally, I post process my photos, but my desktop is down and the netbook doesn't have the ponies. I apologize for crookedness, etc, etc.
I just got back from the Meadows....the license plate bracket looks nice but is uber cheaply made. It's very thin flexible plastic with a back print. The magnet and license plate are cool tho
Camper refrigerators can get full quick. Bring a small 110V mini fridge for extra room. It can go under the camper or under the awning. Some even have keyed locks to prevent the otters from stealing beers.
