    Going to Polynesian for Dole Whip

    We did it. Boat to MK the boat to Polynesian. Enjoyed best dole whip around. Then DD insisted on riding monorail to head back. Little walk to TTC got interesting when we got a little lost. Barely made it to MK in time for last boat back to fort. Have to say Epcot dole whip was not as good...

    Going to Polynesian for Dole Whip

    We check in at the Fort next week. DD really wants dole whip on day 1. Is the resort monorail open yet? If not, will last year's work around of boat to MK then resort boat to Poly still work? Thanks

    FW Early Check In

    I am so excited to get a preferred site this time. I can't believe the location. It will be so much better after a long day at MK. As a TT newbie, my #1 criteria is easy of back in. I don't think size will be a problem on any site. (We have a 24 ft no slide TT.) What are your recommendations...

    We made the jump!

    This was our biggest problem tent camping. Florida broke its draught the week we spend at the Fort. We had wet towels every night. Had this on list but hadn't thought of misthreaded hook ups. Had only looked for "outdoor" type Thanks for suggestions! I'm making a list of must have, would like...

    We made the jump!

    We bought a 2021 Forest River Wildwood X-Lite 241QBXL. Its 26 ft and has our favorite floor plan within our weight limit comfort zone. It's a lot more than an 8 person tent. We have to practice driving too.

    We made the jump!

    After 8 years of tent camping and 2 years of looking, DH and I finally bought a TT. Hey!!! So now all the questions. I changed our May reservation to a full instead of tent. I'm updating my packing list. What different things do I need with TT instead of tent. We have a 20 ft sewer hose and the...

    Small camper recommendations

    Thank you for your collective insight. I knew I could trust advice from here. Bama Ed, we do have 3 people. That's what led me to think 2800 would be max. Brett, thanks for experience. We can't get to any of our camping sites without crossing mountains. We are not into white knocking it. So...

    Small camper recommendations

    Current tow vehicle is Honda Odyssey with tow capacity of 3500 as is. I feel like that makes 27-2800 the sweet spot for me. I do like the looks of that KZ online. I need to find one to look at locally. Thanks for the recommendations. I love the idea of spending less time setting up at the fort...

    Tent loop question

    We have a reservation for a tent site in May. We tent camped in May 3 years ago so we are well prepared. Here's my problem- we went to the local RV show and are now considering a small travel trailer. Would a 16 ft trailer be allowed on the tent site? I know there are no sewer hock ups but those...

    Give me your camping tips!

    You not only need your own toiletries, you need your own towels. The only bathroom perk is the hot water. Consider storing all food in your car. You need solid and secure storage. Bungee cords on coolers and locked metal containers keep the squirrels at bay for a while. Also, if you are going...

    ac-tent questions (and other tent ?s)

    We use a blue tarp that is slightly smaller than the footprint under the tent to help keep most of the crushed rock off the tent. It's easier to hose off a tarp than the bottom of my tent. We also use a very large reflective tarp over the tent. We had know idea how much that was helping until we...

    DCL food that you know you shouldn't love...but you do!

    On the first night, I told the waiter that they were the best vegetarian food on the entire cruise. He asked if I would be very happy to get them the next night. I said sure, of course. Every night, he asked if I wanted them again the next night. I was really impressed that they even made some...

    Tortola Baths Excursion

    I took this tour 2 yrs ago with my 60+ parents. It was amazingly beautiful, but it is an active excursion. We all made it to the entrance just fine. Then, my stepmother decided to stay at the beach area at a picnic table in the shade ("to rest her knees"). After that, I was the slowest, an...

    DCL food that you know you shouldn't love...but you do!

    How has no one mentioned the black truffle pursettes -by far the best vegetarian dish onboard! I ate it every single day. I'll blame the stretch pants I wear for disembarkment on those. Second vote goes to the little pineapple cakes at CC. So moist and refreshing.

    FE amongst family cabins

    Our family does this. The adults buy small things to place in the other family's FE every day. The kids think it is amazing. They have no idea where the gifts come from. It's just Disney magic. To spread the Disney magic, we deliver pixie dust gifts one day to random FE we see that are decorated...
