    GOOD FOR YOU!!! Sounds like you have it all planned out. Now just drive safe, get to The Fort, and enjoy:dogdance: We will also be there 12/20-27. My family has been lots of times, but I am giddy as a school girl..... (I don't think I remember any girls in school being giddy) I too am...

    When do you turn Christmas decorations on/off?

    I saw this asked in a thread about another topic, but had wondered the same thing. This will be our first year at The Fort over Christmas :yay: We have several inflatables and a bunch of lights! Is there a general "rule" about when to turn the decorations on and off? Do you leave everything...

    10/30 Golf cart parade timing

    Hopefully someone more knowledgable will answer, but I think the parade starts at 4. I can't find it now, but the list I saw had something else starting on the beach at 5:00. We have done the July 4th GC parade a couple of times and we lined up before the time given.

    Staying at the Fort for Thanksgiving or Christmas

    I started trying to reserve Christmas 2017 sites back in December 2016 and could find only a few days available online. I contacted a TA (first time ever) and she said "no problem". Ever few weeks, I'd get an email where she had "found" another day and after several months we had TWO week long...

    Does DME use have to happen on check-in and check-out day?

    Thanks! I will use that link when they get their flights figured out. DME will save me a trip to the airport to fetch them :)

    Does DME use have to happen on check-in and check-out day?

    My family will be at The Fort for a week during Christmas :yay: YAY! My BIL and his wife will only be able to join us for a day or two in the middle. I just put them on the reservation for the whole week, but was wondering if they can schedule their DME rides from/to the airport for days in...

    What should Ben do before and after hoop dee do at Christmas time

    Some options depend on how mobile the adult in the wheelchair is - can they walk a short distance or climb a few steps? I don't think the carriage or sleigh rides are handicap accessible (I may be wrong). Also, your trip over to the Fort "may" take a little extra time because they may need to...

    Is the Pool Fence keeping Locals out?

    We were there over July 4th the last two years. The pool was packed both years. There was no magic band access to the gate, you just walked in. It more seemed to be there so they could lock it up after hours. I think some (many) of the other resorts require your magic band to get in. As...

    *Truck and Towing thread........ask your questions here.*

    I have a 2500HD with the 6-1/2' bed. I do not have a slider and so far have never needed one. We currently have a over-cab rack that comes up from the front of the bed, which takes about another 6" of space. The 5th wheel gets closer now, but I just keep a closer eye on it. So far, so good...

    boarding dogs at Disney's kennel

    We kept our dog at Best Friends last summer. It was a large, clean place with very nice staff. There are a ton of options on the website, which I found very confusing... A quick call, and the options were only a little confusing :) They have accommodations ranging from a small "cage" to a...

    Long term golf cart rental options?

    I've reserved two carts from Kenny for Christmas :) First time not renting from Disney. The plan is to turn them back in the morning we check out. Has anyone run into issues trying to get that done and still be out by 11:00? THANKS!

    Favorite beach campground near FW

    We have stayed at Anastasia State Park a couple of times. It is nice. Also, stayed at Fort Clinch SP last year, just outside Amelia Island, FL. The Beach section is very open (no trees), while the river section is very wooded. Jekyll Island SP near Brunswick, GA is an interesting place. I...

    Hopper Pass Is It Worth It

    Well.....everyone's "mileage will vary". It really depends on a lot of factors you didn't mention. What time of the year are you going? Do you only have the one day? Have you been before? Do you go the WDW often? What ages are represented in the 8? We go fairly often (at least once a...

    Best option from Kissimmee Amtrak station to WDW

    I didn't see any new info on this. My DD(23) and seven friends will be traveling to WDW in April via Amtrak. A quick internet search shows Happy Limo at about $100 each way with a large van (or an older limo). Including tip that is about $15 each....sounds pretty good to me. Does anyone know...

    Parking at Disney Springs

    I was there a couple of weeks ago and the Lime garage was open. As for what's closer...I have no idea. I still call it The Village, and once I walked out of the garage was totally lost (an odd feeling for me). Enjoy!

    July 2016 Trip Report Thread

    We will be there July 2nd thru the 7th. Stopping for a few days in St. Augustine on the way down, and Amelia Island on the way home. Almost two weeks total... Not going into the parks this trip. We make it to WDW at least once a year (this year 3!), so a No Park Trip is not a big deal. With...

    Did a good deed today.

    Well Done!!! We've got to look out for each other out there! Every time I hit a big bump, I check the mirrors half expecting to see everyone swerving to miss all my falling stuff.....
