photogal06...Sommer 10 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 I hope you have a great time on your trip! We will be there a bit later than you, coming in at the end of November. Since this is your first time at the Fort, just make sure you take time to enjoy all there is to offer. We always say we want to spend so much time at the Fort that we actually get bored with it, but that never happens! We get so busy at the parks and with Fort activities that we always leave wanting more.At the Fort, make sure you walk or bike ride (or golf cart) around the loops and see everyone's Halloween decorations, relax and enjoy a Mickey ice cream bar by the pool, bring (or buy) s'mores fixings and enjoy a campfire, sing-a-long and movie as often as you can. And be sure to head down to the beach to watch the water parade and Wishes fireworks in the evening if you get a chance. Walking or biking the path to Wilderness Lodge is always fun....if you go in the early evening, you'll see a lot of deer. That also takes you by the Tri-Circle-D, where you can go in and see the horses.The 800 loop is a nice location....an easy walk to the pool. It sounds like you camp a lot in other places? Camping at the Fort is as easy as it gets....no worries, no hassles.As for the parks, 6 days is a nice amount of time to spend.....you'll be able to relax and take your time there and still get a lot of rides and shows in.

Ok Grumpy AKA Cindy~~ 9 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 The Fort is so nice, to be so close to the action! You can watch the fireworks from the beach and beat some of the crowds. Or hope a boat and watch them from the water. Theres so much going on and you are going at one of my best times to be there! When I was there for halloween we had tons of Trick or treaters. I'm not sure if they have alot every year but if you like that kinda of stuff you should be prepared. Also the campers decorate to the hilt so grab a golf cart and go looping the sites are really cool. I hjope you plan your time to just enjoy being there! Have FUN!

Lou... 3,118 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Don't ride the monorail, skip the Carousel of Progress and It's a Small World, avoid the Electrical Water Pageant at all costs, and stay off the damn buses. Nicki aka Rebelstand 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And take video and send it to Lou. Nicki aka Rebelstand 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lou... 3,118 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 What you should do is make Lou watch the EWPSomeone's already paying big bucks to FHF for that torture session. Nicki aka Rebelstand 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
