We are booked for the Dream in September for DH's birthday and will be participating in a fish extender exchange. Just curious, what has been your favorite FE gift? I don't want to do just candy or whatever for the gifts, but something neat or useful. I'm kinda crafty, so I could make something. I've googled FE and looked at Pinterest, but have hit a creative brick wall, so to speak. So, I come humbly to the experts in all things Disney to see what FE gifts they got that was memorable. On the same note....what's been stuff you practically threw away as soon as you got it?

Newbie here and to Fort Wilderness!
OrangeBlossomMama replied to Angela n Rolling Crew's topic in Camping with DisAbilities
Welcome! I'll be back to post a few more thoughts but have to head out for a doctor's appointment. We also have a T/T and I'm mom to 2 kids, one of them special needs. We've been camping for 2 years now and are weekend campers to the Fort about every other month. Didn't want to not say hi, but do have to run...be back and post later!! -
Two questions: GAG? And...
OrangeBlossomMama replied to RestlessNative's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
I can't believe after camping at the fort for 2 years, I didn't know anything about the GAG, either! -
Glad to see the change for ressies at the barber shop! It's been 3 years--but we haven't been back after DD's first hair cut! I do see on the BBB website there is an age limit. The last time we were there (in March), that's what our FG-in-T told me.

We've done both the Barber Shop and BBB. The Barber shop is great for dad, boys or the first time hair cut. I'll be honest, I cried b/c the barber cut too much off my DD's hair and I thought she looked more like a boy. I was aiming for a 'trim' for the experience of having the first hair cut at Disney. I did not do this for my second DD. Yes, the certificate and ears are cute and all, and have sweet pictures of the whole thing, but maybe it was just the stylist we had. There are no reservations and it is first come first serve. Must get there early otherwise, plan on waiting. As far a

The pests are back
OrangeBlossomMama replied to fortpartyof4's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
They flies and Mosquitos are heavy through the center of the state, traveling all the way down highway 27. My husband was driving this corridor just last week and commented how bad the insects are going to be when we go camping. -
Mickey Mouse Snowmen Cards
OrangeBlossomMama replied to BradyBzLyn...Mo's topic in Crafting: Camping and beyond
Too cute...just adorable. If I only had the time (and patience) to craft my own cards! Thanks for posting! -
My husband has started this a few times, for our 2 and 4yo. I'm used to it, so it doesn't bother me anymore when he draws this kind of attention to himself. With kids, you are not looked at as weird nearly as quickly :). Lou, thanks for the info. As a former CM, you learn so much about the parks, and I have to say that the eight years with the company, including 5 in Guest Relations, I learned something new!

I couldn't listen to the whole song either. It is a good song, and like you said, touches close to home. -

I have had a hard time with umbrella bases, too, MM. You can do a special order through your local Publix for one of their umbrella bases. $19.99 I think. They don't carry too many on hand but can easily order them. It's in their outdoor catalog---ask Customer Service to place an order. Good Luck! -

I have a silly question about the plug and globe fitter....is it hard to connect these two? My boy scout DH said he can do it, but that's been almost a month (he's been busy with work, not blaming him). I tried to look up tutorials on youtube and the company website to see if I can follow some step by step guides with no luck. -

December 2012
OrangeBlossomMama replied to Just Whipperwhirl's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
I'm pretty sure that you can book 450 days out. Oct 25 2012 is the earliest date. I was playing around and could book a trip 10/18 to 10/25/12. Gotta wait a few more weeks before you can book for Dec 2012. -

Click on the edit tool that you want.A new page will appear to make your adjustments. Be sure to save!!!Your page will return to the pre-edit page. On the far right hand side, you will see a box that says "Share this photo" with four options: Email, direct, Http: and IMG codes. Thi
