Howdy folks.
I'm starting up a trip report thread a little early to include a week worth of pre-trip. Our poster jbrostek has an outstanding pre-trip thread going which I suggest you read. A number of us Camping posters are running during the Marathon weekend which runs next Thursday to Sunday (Jan 8-11). The 5k is 1/8, the 10k is 1/9, the Half Marathon is 1/10, and the Full Marathon is 1/11 all based out of the EPCOT parking lot. I'll be running just the Half on Saturday. We've been encouraging each other in the Palindrome thread (I had to look up what that word meant) http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=3280286
It will be a short trip with us coming in Thursday morning and going out Sunday morning. There are no theme park days planned. I'll be doing some sort of trip report in this thread. I've requested a Preferred site in loop 100. I was in 100 2 trips ago and it was great. The last time I requested 100 again but got upgraded to a Premium in 400 right across the street. I kinda bounce around as to what site type/loop I get or request. I've been through a Tent phase, a Premium phase, now I'm in my Preferred phase (I guess Full is next). At the point Disney is pricing campsites now, the cost difference isn't that great between Full-Preferred-Premium.
I've got a few pre-trip things to do here before we leave on Wednesday. Also I have to be in the office tomorrow and it's supposed to rain here in Bama Saturday so Sunday will be the one day I have to roll the Aliner out and prep it. This will be the first trip to the Fort with my Aliner Expedition which I "downsized" into and traded in my very able Jayco 12HW popup, a highwall that served our family well for nearly 10 years. As I like to say, my popup is my condo at the beach, my cabin in the woods, and my little DVC "all in one".
So stay tuned and I will be including pix.
