photogal06...Sommer 10 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 We loved camping at Bryn Mawr in St. Augustine. Our site had its own private covered porch area, and we enjoyed eating out there, listening to the ocean. There was a great pizza place that delivered to the campground, too.

Lou... 3,118 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Don't tell Lou but it is quicker to driveWow, I didn't realize that.Hey genius Tom, I'd be the first one to tell you, if quickness is your priority, don't use the damn buses if you have a car, especially when going from resort to resort.

alexwyattmommy 181 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Give Lou a Hug. Tourists at night on a crowded bus - you couldn't pay me enough.With number 5 - do you mean the Ferry from the TTC or the boats that run from the Fort Dock? Boats from the dock start 1/2 before park opens but I think most people think it is an hour because man is that line long at 45 minutes before. You can also take the boat to CR and walk or monorail it. That boat starts running at 6:45 or some weird time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 That actual boat ride - as in, from the time the boat leaves one dock until it gets to the other - is only about 12-15 minutes. And then add time for loading/unloading, and having to wait for the boat.When we're there in November and there isn't a big line, it's usually a total of 30-45 minutes from the time we arrive at the dock until we're walking through the MK gates.And yes, as Lou always says, if you're tyring to get somewhere quickly ALWAYS DRIVE. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Welcome!It looks like all your questions got answered.I have another suggestion for you on a premium loop.With kids the ages of yours, you may enjoy being on the 1200 or 1300 loop. These are not pet loops, and there is a nice playground at the loop entrance- no roads to cross. As an added bonus, these are close to the Meadow Trading Post and the pool.There is a nice playground area across from the 500 loop. But, that is a pet loop and the dog park is there. If you like dogs, fine. If you would prefer to be away from them then I say 1200/1300 for you.TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Lou is very crabby at two am it seems lmaoI wouldn't limit it to 2AM.Give Lou a Hug. Tourists at night on a crowded bus - you couldn't pay me enough.It's not that bad. 99% of the people are fine.You just have to make sure that the guest's realize that the driver has the situation under control and not to take any crap from them, in a nice way of course."Move em in, move em out, keep them dogies rollin."
