natebrr 0 Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 I have been hanging out here, soaking up as much info as I can, and have enjoyed my time spent here. Me and my family will be going to the Fort for the first time at the beginning of September. I have a couple of questions. What are the fun fort things, that I shouldn't miss out on? I think I read on here one time, but I can't seem to find it. Where is the best place on property to get a Dole whip? I am sure I will have more questions.

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Welcome! Where are you from? What are the demographics of your party? Do you have kids, teens, all adults? That would impact what I'd recommend for y'all to do. The only obvious omissions I see on Travisma's list are watching the Electric Water Pageant (9:45 every night) and Magic Kingdom fireworks (time varies) from the Fort Wilderness Beach.

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Welcome to natebrr! We plan to arrive at the Fort on September 5. I'll post our site number here. Hope we can meet! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
natebrr 0 Posted August 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Baby girl(DD?), we are going for her 3rd birthday. Me and the wife(DW?) We are from Mobile, AL, to reference an old TCD trip report. Home of the Azalea Trail Maids. We will arrive on Sep 12. That Monday is my hangout at the fort and soak it all in day, and we will checkout Fri. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

With a 3 year old, you will definitely want to head down to the TCD barn at the Settlement for pony rides and to see the horses, ponies and calliope. I also recommend visiting the playground at the Settlement, and the splash area at the Meadow swimming pool. And don't miss Chip and Dale at the campfire every night.

momof3kids-Yvonne 594 Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Welcome! If you ever want to venture up to North Alabama/Nashville, TN area keep an eye on the Grand Gatherings section for the GGs we have up in that area. Our next one is Defeated Creek in September, but that might not work out with your trip already planned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We are renting a camper for the fort, and I plan to buy us a camper next year Quote Link to post Share on other sites
