rdancemom... Pam 113 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 i like bears... cute, cuddly, fun to watch, even climb trees on occassion... and besides that, who ever heard of a bear eating all their water & elec lines?Yup, we should replace all the squirrels at the fort with black bears... maybe even include a polar bear or two in the name of diversity...

Tom 15 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Is this local free loader issue a real issue? florida offers gator permits to keep the numbers under control . Maybe a freeloader permit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Yes, it is a HUGE issue!!! Now that would be funny right there!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe a freeloader permit?It's not an issue to the idiots who manage the Fort.But it is an issue to anyone who is paying for a campsite and wishes to visit the pool on any summer weekend or holiday day.If you don't believe it, go and see for yourself. If you want to go swimming, don't forget your shoehorn. And if you want to sit by the pool BYOC (bring your own chair), because those all get claimed for the day early.TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alexwyattmommy 181 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Well, now, what I saw makes more sense.Went to the Meadows to get some drink refills and passed the grills and tables area. It was filled with people. I mean like 50 or more people. Tin foil on grills, blue and red coolers everywhere and almost all the seats taken with people or stuff. I was trying to figure out how many campsites they must have purchased to have a reunion that big.I guess they didn't buy any campsites. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was trying to figure out how many campsites they must have purchased to have a reunion that big.I guess they didn't buy any campsites.Ding! Ding! Ding!I have seen it many times.Last 4th of July, I was in site 1501, right behind the 1500 loop bus stop. I saw folks getting off the bus in the morning loaded with stuff for the pool. And folks schlepping their stuff back to the bus late in the day. Then there were the folks who got driven in by car and dropped off with their stuff. And, then there were some who parked their cars right in the open area at the front of the 1500 loop.One day over the weekend, some idiot managers were at the pool checking for KTTW cards and issuing wristbands. They were only there for an hour maybe. There was nobody checking for cards or wristbands after that.It apparently is a well known fact among freeloaders that the Fort is a great place to enjoy a Disney pool without being hassled.TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Just about every time I pick up or drop off at the Fort, I see either freeloaders walking from the overflow lot, ready and armed for a picnic or freeloaders getting off the bus and heading for the overflow lot. They're using it to avoid the parking fees at the parks. Nicki aka Rebelstand 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They're using it to avoid the parking fees at the parks.I actually can't talk. On occasion we used to do the same thing when we would stay off property, although not to avoid the parking fees (we have an annual pass), but to avoid moving the truck from park to park and unloading and loading the scooter more than once a day!! We usually ended the day visiting Fiends anyway, so it was easier to have our truck where we ended the day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
