DaveInTN 3,247 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 I'm the only one in my family that prefers thighs. Everyone else likes the white meat. But I love sinking my teeth into a juicy dark thigh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 So I will admit to being the rebel, in more ways than one, but my arrival ritual is to unhitched the TT then run to the nearest bus stop, take a picture (so carol and Mo can laugh) of the bus, then head as fast as Disney transport can take me to DHS....

Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Nicki, That's a fun ritual! Why DHS? I'm sure the bus has a story behind it. :)Well the kids and the husband like star tours and I can start my trip with a ToT - RRC fix. As for the bus, I usually post a picture of either the Fort sign or my arrival packet while we are driving to our site. The picture of the bus indicates just how quickly I can hurry the husband through the setup process (sewer, water, etc) or abandon it till later so that we can hit the parks. I am sort of known for not being able to make it a full Fort day ... Some park or ride always beacons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have a good routine2. Don't setup near as much stuff as weekend campers 3. Don't spend as much time just chilling outside as a weekend warrior either Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OrangeBlossomMama 4 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 I can't believe after camping at the fort for 2 years, I didn't know anything about the GAG, either! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Wow. You must be an energetic fiend. I'm usually too pooped after setting up camp We hit the parks running too. Only our park to hit first is MK. I don't feel like I'm really at WDW until I see the castle. With the moho our setup is simple: 1. Hit the button to level.2. Hit the buttons to pull out slides.3. Connect power and turn AC on.4. Connect water and run kitchen faucet to get the air out.5. Connect sewer.6. Connect cable.7. Push the button to extend the awning.8. Off to the Magic Kingdom! In the TT our setup took about 2 hours. Level the TT with blocks. Remove stabilizer bars. Remove equalizer. Chock wheels (David forgot this once and I went rolling away!). Unhitch. Then start connecting everything. Manually extend the awning and tie it down. In the moho it's 30 minutes or less. To paraphrase TCD, it's good to be CCIntrigue!

AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Our routine...... 1. Say hi to Curt and Jody 2. Tell them thanks for setting everything up for us 3.

Go to the Campfire Sing-along for Smores, popcorn, and a movie Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 My typical arrival routine: 1. Send the kids off somewhere....anywhere. After two days on the road I'm ready for them to disappear. 2. Pop open beer. Walk around the site enjoying the beer. 3. Put some chocks behind the wheels, and in front. Trailers roll both ways. 4. Pop 2nd beer. Think about unhitching. 5. Plug in electric as, by now, INC is yelling out that it's hot inside the trailer. 6. Get one chair out of storage. Sit enjoying the rest of beer #2. 7. INC comes out to say she has the inside done and is heading to Pioneer Hall to hang out and find the kids. 8. Tell her I'll finish setting up and head there, and to go ahead and order the GAG. 9. After INC is out of sight, pop beer #3. Double check that chocks are actually in place and that I didn't just imagine them. 10. Push button on awning as the sun is starting to bother me. 11. Start to unhitch trailer from van, but realize I'm kind of pooped and decide to do it later. Nah, let's just get it done. 12. Unhitch, pull van forward a couple feet, remember I wanted to put it in overflow lot but realized I'm too buzzed to do that now. 13. Lock keys in van. 14. Curse myself, forgetting I have a 2nd set in the trailer. 15. Grab a couple more beers to take with me and surprise INC with my thoughtfulness.16. Stumble to the Settlement to enjoy my chicken dinner and give my girls one of my patented DaveInTN speeches complaining about the lack of steak fries while we sit on the porch eating our chicken and crappy Disney fries.

Bravo! That is a masterpiece. I LOL'd at #16. Mostly because I believe it's true, and can picture the scene. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
