    Anyone else coming to Texas for the eclipse?

    Anyone heading this way? We are not camping for it because we are in the path here at home but will drive to my sister's for the day because their house gets 4 minutes and ours will only get 1.

    Has anyone stayed at Waco TX fairgrounds (Extraco event center) ?

    The weather will be fine in Texas, May is when we tend to get any tornados.If you are coming down I35 (which I assume you will) there are quite a few safety rest stops that are tornado shelters in the areas that get it bad if you want to look for those ahead of time just to have a heads up and a...

    Food Allergies & WDW.

    That is very sad... I have friends that have severe egg and milk allergies the kids can't touch something that someone else touched with egg or dairy on their hands or they have a reaction. So they take it very serious and don't go out to eat. Ever. It is not worth the risk for them. It is...

    Team Bradfield February and March trip

    Or back to stalking anyway! I was sad and shocked to hear that Chris had passed. That was actually the first thing I looked for on here. But I'm glad to see so many familiar "faces".

    Team Bradfield February and March trip

    Yep- I took a LONG break from here. I honestly was frustrated by Disney' politics and needed to see how that played out, plus we were not planning any trips so I needed a brain break while we stayed close to home. Now I need some motivation to pay off our debt and we are really missing Disney...

    Maximum Number of Guests Reduced For The Fort Campsites

    I understand that part of it. I would totally cramp 10 people onto a site to save money, but we not a loud and rowdy bunch because we abide by (or create our own) campground etiquette. It also sound like The Fort is trying to elevate the status of the campground, and 8 may look nicer than 10 haha.

    Thinking about it…

    Melissa!!! I actually jumped back on here to see if you had been back yet! I am trying to get back into blogging (having to start over again) and each time I write about our pop up, it starts with Fort Wilderness and your TRs with the amazing tent set up. That and all the other amazing folks...

    Any word or any prep work being done for new DVC cabins?

    I did not care for the updated look- they did not really fit the Fort look...but then I remembered that we updated our camper inside so it did not look like an old cabin either haha. I think they do look like boxcars, but that is popular right now. Modern is all over at the RV resorts and funky...

    Today We Toured The Aliner Folding Camper Assembly Building

    Late to the game here- what a cool trip Ed! I tried to get my husband's uncle to get an A-liner so they could stop sleeping at hotels when they visit everyone camping, and they could go to the Fort instead of Pop Century :p

    Comfort stations

    Just like a State Park, but much nicer... BYO! We like to use shampoo bars when we are camping, they seem to not spill and are easy to pass around, our pack 2-3. We rarely use our camper shower because it is tiny.

    Maximum Number of Guests Reduced For The Fort Campsites

    We are a family of 6, so 8 makes it where we can't camp with anyone outside of our family. Not that I would want to all cram into one RV, but I know of families that are 8+ in their immediate. I wonder how they "prove" that :) It's been awhile since I jumped on here. Good to catch up on the news.

    Disney cultivating "better customers" ?

    We cancelled our Sept trip... I have no interest giving Disney more money when they are deciding to play the politics game- especially when children are involved. We will see if Disney stops pandering, we are going to see what other things there are to explore. It is sad because I feel the magic...

    They are moving Reflections over to the Poly.

    I was excited when I heard about the move to expand the Poly- I figured it meant they would love that area alone for awhile.... and MAYBE expand the Fort. Hopefully Disney will realize that the Fort offers them MORE money by keeping large families onsite... even if it is not a much income, it is...

    Disney cultivating "better customers" ?

    I just got a parks survey. I hope my "we may or may not go, it depends on whether or not the entertainment all comes back" answer helps move things along. We still want to go for the 50th, but to spend $6K and not have all the same experiences not worth it.

    Glamping or Camping??

    Our bed is not comfy enough to be considered glamping IMO, but we also have AC...so it really depends on a final definition of glamping. I have friends that say in a tent but have a blow up sofa they bring with them. That is pretty glam. I say we CAMP- we stay outside until bed time and the...

    PaHunters camping season comes to an abrupt close due to cancer.

    Yay Chris!!!! This was a great end of year update!

    Time will tell...

    I told the kids we would go in December when they could ALL walk in bagless...so right now the youngest is 5. Give me 5 more years I guess.

    Canceled our next FW trip

    We looked into camping at a Jellystone this month- it would have been $114 with their water park area closed. In summer, a tent site is $131 and a premium site $180. I feel like the Fort was always a better value for our small camper than any other camp resort we have looked at. That said, I...

    Time will tell...

    Yay Melissa! You're back!!! We are trying to get back September, my hubby wanted to try for Christmas but I remember your TR and the thought of all those crowds sounds awful.
