I'm back!!!
After a long absence from the Boards, and the Fort, TCD is just back from another mission errr.... visit to the Fort.
And, I have the pictures to prove it.
The Fort looks great!
After having camped at the Fort for many, many years, I had become accustomed to things staying the same, or maybe slowing decaying. No more. It is clear that Disney is sinking a lot of $$$ into the Fort, and that exciting times are ahead.
I have photographic confirmation that the rumored site expansions are actually going to happen, and soon. But I will get to that later.
Who wants to see some photos?
First, a couple of photos from the pre-trip, just to set everything in proper perspective:
Have any of you heard of Airstream Ranch? You may know that there is an attraction in Texas called the Cadillac Ranch. A bunch of Cadillacs are planted in the ground, Stonehenge style. Well, just outside of Tampa (mile-marker 14 on I-4 to be exact), an RV dealer has erected Airstream Ranch. Take a look:
The bad news is, this is a code and/or zoning violation, and the attraction is going to be coming down.
Now, on to the Fort.
But, first, I need to give you all just a little more background. There are three TCD DD's, ages 12-16. There is this music group called the Jonas Brothers. They were scheduled to be at Universal Studios on March 28th to tape an appearance on the Ellen show. They begged the old mad to take them on the way to the Fort. Well, I guess these photos will show you who is boss:
So that is Joe, Kevin and Nick (in that order), above. Yes, I now know their names, and I can tell them apart!
Here is Ellen with the boys:
So, all this is being mentioned to explain the golf cart decorations displayed on the TCD spy mobile for the week. See for yourself:
As I was waiting at the marina one fine afternoon to pick up a couple of the DD's from a visit to the MK, a woman on her golf cart laughed out loud at me sitting in my cart. Her young son asked mom why she was laughing. She told the young fellow that that man over there had "his man card taken away." Ouch!
So, now that the preliminaries are out of the way, how about some photos of some new and different and obscure places at the Fort? Anyone up for that?
Do you think I can deliver?
