OK, We just got home today from the Fort and Holy ?!@#! I think there needs to be more beer and Kungaloosh drinking! and less critiquing.
Lets be a little more sensitive to the Flamingos. They are sensitive creatures and require TLC, a better PR guy, and sturdier legs.
As to the Halloween decorations; many were extremely creative with traditional types of scary, tombstone, murder, witch, creepy, dark themes.
Some were more about quantity than quality. Not going any further on that subject.
I'm not a big fan of inflatables, but I see their use. Large Bang, Small Area. and portability.
Anyhoo, The coolest thing at the Fort (and the parks) was that on Nov. 1, Halloween was over and Christmas arrived!!! Really, it was amazing how quickly some of the Halloween decorations were removed and the new Christmas decorations took their place.
We joked that there is a revolving wheel underneath some of the campsites and when its time to change holidays you hit a switch, the flip happens, and a whole new crop of inflatables, lights, trees and music pops to the surface.
In closing, we love Ft. Wilderness and everything about it (except the lack of Fort things in the stores. Bad, Bad, Bad.).
Had a great time, going back next year. and the year after that, etc.
