Looks great! Hope to see ya at FW soon!

I've always used the IMG codes for any message board. I've only used the direct codes in chat rooms,

I learned something new too! I don't use PB much, and it's always a trial and error to post with me :). Like most things on the computer, there are several ways to get the same thing accomplished.

http://www.timeanddate.com/date/dateadd.html

is the link I used to figure out which day. I've been counting the days I can book a BBB for DD's 3rd birthday

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.

I'm not a techie by any means but will do my best to walk you through it.

• On Photobucket, Upload all the pictures you want to post....each will get its own code.
• Double click on the picture you want to resize/crop/edit/rotate/etc. When you roll over the picture, a green bar will appear to do edit your picture. 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. This is where you will copy your codes.
• Now open second tab to open FF (so that you can toggle b/t FF and PB pretty easily.)
• Open a post for FF
• Click on the "Image" icon
• Another box will open to insert picture
• Toggle back to PB. Find the picture you want, Copy the DIRECT codes
• Toggle to FF. In this image box, paste the code. Once your click enter, your pic should appear.

If you don't like the size, go back to FB, resize (hit save!!) and copy the new code, paste to FF, and you should be good to go!

I hope this helps! Happy picture posting!

I just checked the projected path, and they moved the 'cone' farther east. Although there *might* be some rain, but then again, it's FL and it's summertime. There's always a chance of rain.

Have a great trip to the FW! We were just there this past weekend and had a grand time!

Try www.photobucket.com. You'll have to sign up for a free account, but from there, you can upload pix, resize them, and then get the codes to post on FF and other boards.

In early June we were in the 1800 loop. While looping in the 1700 or 1900, I saw beccaewert's Fort Fiends.net sign. I immediately knew this must be a new Fort board site where all the cool people from the other board had disappeared to. I have been missing ya'll. I was so busy late last year and early this year that I just hadn't been to the board. I knew something happened cause many of my favorite Fiends were gone! I still visit the old board but its just not as much fun as it used to be. Anyway, nice to see ya'll here. If anyone was at the Fort from June 3 to June 12, we had the nice, low, blue GC

That's whose sign I must have seen to find FF! We were there just one night on the 11th, and past what I thought was "Fort Friends".....hmm, no! Kept playing around until I found fiends. We were in 1700 that weekend.

I'm new to this group (a few weeks now) and they seem like a nice bunch. So

We're weekend campers, and we typically don't drive more than 2 hours due to small kiddos in tow, not to mention the TT. We're hitting up the "one tank trips," checking out what's in our backyard here inf Florida. FW and DWD are only 45 minutes away, so we are really lucky with our self imposed perimeters. Once the girls are bigger, we'll explore more.

Our trips are dictated by DH's work schedule. As soon as he gets off work, picks us up and hitches the TT, we're off. Usually around 4pm. If we leave on a Saturday, we'll leave around 7am.

When we travel to AL (family), we'll leave b/t 3-4am and try for 3 hours drive before the kids are awake for the day. We used to do that when we would go to MS or TN, but now just make those a 2 day drive....all without the TT. I can't be cooped up in DH's truck that long! We take my minivan for the extended/non-camping trips.

Discamper, how old is the min pin? I have one that could pass as yours! I'll have to get a pic of her posted.

I'm sure there will be open season on WTF ... IF my Snarky Fairy costume is actually made so I can "run" the Princess 1/2 Marathon. I've even offered to wear it at Halloween IF it's ready by then.

It's not an *IF*....I promise! I just need my kids to get back in school (in 2 weeks) so I can work on it. Once I start, it will be done in less than a week.

Oh, AND I'll be at the halloween GG!!

We stayed at a Florida State Park several summers ago and saw one of the nastiest and funniest things ever. The park had a dump station and we decided to stop on the way out and drain the tanks.There were several rigs in front of us the first was a group of ladies that filmed there whole experience. Right behind them were two knuckle heads, they were driving a brand new shinny class A. They looked more like they should have been in the RV Cousin Eddie drove in Christmas Vacation.They get out barefooted and shirtless Did I Mention They Were Barefooted At The Dump Station! So they pull the hoses out and hook to the RV not to the hole in the ground. One guy stands there holding it and the other man worked the valve. There was SHtuff going every where AND THEY WERE BAREFOOTED! Next thing the connector made for the hole that he is spraying falls off in the hole so they shut down the operation and the guy gets down on all fours and reaches in the hole almost to his shoulder and plucks the part out. They then went back to splatter painting the dump station brown.When the tank was empty the valve man proceeded to pack the hose up and the hose man started to clean the area with the garden hose. The hose man started spraying the stuff towards the open compartments under the rig allover the side and all over his friend! You could see the brown splatter on both of these clowns as they ventured back in the rig fired it up and took off in to the sunset! BAREFOOTED SHIRTLESS AND COVERED IN POOOOOOO!!!!!!! :barf: :barf:

Considering DH is a microbiologist, my gross tolerance is a bit higher than the average person....and you scored off the charts with me! I'm gagging as I read this!!!

Our 11year old cattle dog urinated in the trailer last night (first time ever). There was so much of it she soaked her4 inch padded bed, a towel my husband used to clean it up, and seeped under the wood of my daughter's bed into the cabinet there. Hubby is still mad at her.

If its any consolation, Nature's Miracle (in the housebreaking section of your fav pet store) is truly a miracle worker. All natural enzymes, no chemicals, safe will take out any ammonia from urine, and blood, vomit, and any other bodily fluid. I put it in the wash when our 13yo dog has accidents on the area carpets (and lots lately) as well as help to clean up throw up and blood....from either the dog, kids or the hubbie (he walked across carpet to the bathroom to wash his hands when he cut himself in the kitchen.....and NM got it all up.) Anyway, if you need something to clean it up, this will help you.

Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with Nature's miracle, sell it or benefit from it. I'm just a mom and a furmom that swears by this stuff!!

Sorry about the dog pee....our dog seems to do this now to show her disapproval with us.

We will probably only do breakfast, it's cheaper (there will be 9 of us!) and the little ones (2 and 1 year old) are in much better spirits in the mornings. My life and vacation schedule rotates around their nap schedule :rofl2:

Amen Sista! My kids are 4 and 2. Mornings are best for us (it's a crap shoot what you might get in the PM with my crew!!....and still plan around their nap schedule!

Glad you got your res...should be alot of fun!!

I was going check in early too, and let the girls go swimming for a bit. Then go back and join up with DH after work to help hook up the T/T and head back up. Having the trailer already up there would save alot, but I do understand. We moved the T/T to a new storage parking, so we'll literally be 30 mins to the main gate.

I would be batting my eyelashes for an extra parking pass, but from the calendar, it doesn't look like any other fiends will be at the Fort this weekend. No problems.

Trust me, if I could hook up the hitch and do it myself, I would. We'd be at the fort as soon as I got up there!

Thanks for the feedback!

I have a second question about the overflow lot--can you park there overnight? DH was interested in parking our T/T there on a Thursday before Friday check in. Saving us some time (and his sanity in the heat and humidity) after work, since the T/T will already be up there and just have to park it at our campsite once he arrives.

Glad to see the original style again. Not a big fan of TRON but liked the TRON monorail---- for maybe a split second. Change is good, right?!

Congrats! I hope it's been worth the wait---looks great! Our T/T is the fanciest either, but it most certainly works for our needs. I LOVE the front storage area. I think I will be high on our list for our next T/T. Enjoy it!

BTW, love the lil guy modeling the trailer :). What a cutie!

Oh, who's driving the bus? Me, and I give them my name.

I don't know why, but when I first read it, I was cracking up. "Oh who's driving the bus??" D'uh! My imaginary friend!

I always loved to see the WDW sign coming onto property....it's cool to see it everyday. My kids love it now since they know exactly where they are when they see it

Chef Mickey's is prob my #1 fav for character dining.

1900 Park Fare at the Grand, Mary Poppins, Alice, Mad Hatter, Pooh and Tigger. Cinderella was not there for breakfast. Then again, they always say entertainment subject to change.

Crystal Palace is another favorite. That one you are not limited to breakfast only, like Chef Mickeys.

Haven't done the Tusker House or the Princess Breakfast at Norway, although I have heard similar stories that Norway is better than the one at the castle.

I love O'hanas but haven't been there for the Character dining. At dinner, its one of the few places where a large party (p. of 13) could eat together at the same table. With a group that big, we are usually at separate tables. I could imagine if dinner there is great, a character breakfast is too! I prefer the breakfast buffet over any other meals anyway

Have fun planning!

They also want that chip linked to your bank and credit cards so they know when you are out of money so they can ask you to leave

The wheels on the bus go round nad round

The wipers on the bus go swish-swish-swish....

Sorry, Couldn't resist. Singing that song earlier with the kiddos.

I'm thinking I might be at MK tomorrow. Doubt the kids or DH will argue about that idea . I'll def take pictures. Unless the rain or something else comes up, I'm there!

Geez, all this effort for some sugary water?? (Don't get me wrong, I'm a self professed coke-cola-aholoic) Why have RFID in the cups. Just do away with refillable mugs and just sell the mugs as a souvenir? OS Debbie, I'm like you. I have used my mug before, but also buying other things, not just getting something to drink. It won't hurt my feelings whatever they decide.

Here's an idea: Date stamp the bottom of the cup with the check out date. Then have Mug Cops hanging out at the drink fountains checking to make sure the mugs being used are for THIS visit only.

Good grief....
