rdancemom... Pam 113 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Great TR Carol. It was such a surprise seeing you on that scooter in the 100 loop we had to do a double-take. For a minute there when you said Hi I wondered if I'd been at the fort too long and started to hallucinate. :rofl2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted August 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I'm late, but gots popcorn for everyone!!! :pc: :pc: :pc: :pc: :pc:Oooh, lots of popcorn!!See Stef.... he shares!!!!!LOLI'm not sure why, but this sounds like one heck of a fun idea. Very cool!LOLCarol, so glad you were able to get away for a quick trip. I'm also jealous! You amaze me with your mad camper skills! I always think that I want you to come organize me and set our campsite up! Love the bus roulette idea!Thanks!! I had a great time!! While I love my campsite being organized, I actually wish I could relax more and not spend so much time doing it!! That's the tradeoff, OCD takes TIME!!!!I am in awe of your camping setup. I need to save a picture of it so I can try to recreate it next time we tent camp!Let me know, I'll send you a list!Love the idea of Bus Roulette. Can't wait to see your pictures.It was fun!!Carol, you sneak. I thought to myself afterwards, at least she didn't get a picture. Guess I was wrong.LOL!! I try hard to take pictures of the good stuff!!Love that you got a quick getaway. Love the TR. Love that you got a picture of that foxy bus driver!Thanks!!Yup, those are the newest buses.What's different is the system for strapping down WC/ECVs. They are on opposite sides of the bus instead of one in front of the other.It's a simpler and quicker tie down system requiring 3 instead of 4 straps. The rear straps are partially automated.Does it seem easier for the passengers to park?Which reminds on Saturday night, we took the bus to DTD and took the scooter for Richie, we ran into a driver that made me pull into the "square" to make sure the ECV wasn't too big and insisted on me getting off so he could push it into place. I know there are LOTS of bad scooter drivers, but I just chuckled to myself and let him do it. Not to brag, but I'm probably one of the best scooter bus parkers he's ever seen.Cool! Love the TE photos! And you even had a Lou in uniform sighting! Score!The pirate pool theme job at CBR is very nice! The boys would completely love that! (so would KFK) ;DI typed it faster than I can say it! Yes, CBR DID score an awesome pool!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was such a surprise seeing you on that scooter in the 100 loop we had to do a double-take.

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted August 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Now that I'm caught up on the comments, it's time for another update!!I spent the morning just looping aroundHere is some more plumbing work going on at the Fort, this time in the cabins areaand some more plumbing work in a camping loopTiggerinBama is also at the Fort with her mansion on wheelsA classic camper back in the 1800 LoopFound another Fiend!!I posted this elsewhere, but found somebody that didn't like that light on the top of the Disney Golf Carts!This was very inventive. They took an old Popup bottom and a popup roof and just added solid walls and windows!Now I'm back at my campsite for a few minutes and had put the zoom lens on the cameraThe mosquito swamp water in the center of the 2000 loop has subsided someSome more of the sewer work in the cabins loopA pic of the late night hours sign at Trails EndComing next a boat ride to the MK with the zoom lens and a stroll around Art of Animation!!!!!

rdancemom... Pam 113 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 waiting on the Animation stroll and hoping you ate there. We had to go there for a room tour and loved it, especially the food court... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Southern Blessings 4 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Enjoying your trip report! I love the idea of letting which bus comes first decide where you're going to eat! Your tent setup is great, I could not have put that up all by myself. Can't wait to read more! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doodlebug....Cherie 461 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Can't wait to see the Art of Animation pictures! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stefa70 205 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Seems to be a lot of plumbing work happening.....Sh*tters Full! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted August 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Seems to be a lot of plumbing work happening.....Sh*tters Full!Yes there was. I am seeing and hearing more and more of that. The infrastructure at the Fort is 40+ years old, and when they upgraded all those sites to Premium, they did nothing with the wiring or plumbing. Back when the Fort was built, very few campers had the big bathrooms that folks actually used extensively, so I'm sure all the years, the swamp underneath the Fort, and the age of the facilities is starting to catch up with them.

fortpartyof4 108 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I too love the bus roulette idea. Might have to give it a try, even though we usually eat in, we could do it to see where we go grab ice cream. and maybe crash that resort's pool? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure that day will come, but hopefully I'll be retired by then, and can slow down!!Hey, I'm not THAT old! The problem started in my late 40's when I started having panic attacks (long story).
