I believe the Contemporary also has this. We saw the outdoor screen the last time we were there and we were surprised.

I got to thinking about this, and I checked the Coleman website. I thought I had seen a pop-up toy hauler at the Tampa RV show this year. Sure enough, Coleman is still manufacturing one, although it is a different design than the one in KFK's photo. Here's a link to the Coleman site for anyone who might be interested: Coleman Pop-up Camper Toy Hauler
This is a pretty cool trailer. But, I don't think it would haul a golf cart.
Thank you for that link. I wasn't sure what year that was or exactly where to find it, but this is exactly what I was thinking of. If anyone reading along hasn't already looked at this video, take a look. You will see good old Samantha Brown at the Fort. And, her first stop is site 734, where she speaks to Charlie and Hilda, and then she catches a ride on their golf cart to go see the Howards over on the 300 loop. For any newbies, the Howards used to have the best Christmas display at the Fort. Unfortunately, Mrs. Howard died just after this special was filmed, and Mr. Howard has not been back at the Fort for the past couple of years. Since then, others, including Charlie and Hilda, have stepped their game up, and the displays have grown in number and size.
There you go, another thread hijack for you, KFK!

Okay, finally got a chance to catch up on your TR -- LOVE IT. The photos! The beautiful family! The familiar scenery! The pancakes!
Hmmm.
They have hammocks and free marshmallows at the GF?
That is good to know.
And, KFK, I am really enjoying seeing how much your younger DS was able to enjoy his visit to WDW. I don't want to get into the details here, but I have some experience in my extended family with autism. It is really intriguing to see what appealed to your son, and it warms my heart to see him enjoying himself. And, as a big brother myself, I give your older DS credit for being a great big bro.

TCD, Thank you for your kind words. DS5 really does enjoy himself at WDW, and DS7 really is a wonderful UNDERSTANDING (for his age) big bro.
My GF is from Aiken and says you look really familiar.
Great trip report.
I believe the Contemporary also has this. We saw the outdoor screen the last time we were there and we were surprised.
During our stay we saw a lot of Golf Carts, plain ones, custom ones, outrageous ones, but my fave was a little simpler....
How can you not love the Herbie Cart?
There you have it. Herbie got my vote for best GC of 2010
Alrighty, who's the imposter
O.K. I know I'm late to the game but what's up with site 617?
KFK, Four for a Dollar are no more, the dreaded Disney budget cuts.
Lovin' the trip report and pictures, it's getting me prepared for arrival the day after Labor Day!
O.K. I know I'm late to the game but what's up with site 617?
You guys are so fun! I just love the pic on the GC of brotherly love - that's a keeper! Your DS's are so cute! I also adore the shots of DS7 at the Jedi training thing. He looks like he's SO into it!
Looking forward to more Fort pics!
I've been scheming- trying to figure out a way that we can go again before next summer... I just don't think it's gonna happen. If only we had a camper...
Thanks for giving me such a good TR to keep me happy in the meantime!!!
It's TCD's favorite site. He always wants to get it but doesn't want to buck up and pay for a premium site so he says in the 1500 loop instead. He does however wander over there during lunch or dinner time.
My 3 DS's also love the star wars training pics.. Dad can we do that, please can we ,please please please, well can we..
Sorry to hear about the I.J. show. It stinks when they decide to pull something like that and not warn you earlier with a sign or something.
Completely loving the TR! Can't wait for more pics!
. . . . I saw where repriebe replied to your question.....
I wish we had a just pulling your leg smiley right now! That's a great idea!!
617 has been heralded as the worst site at FW! After paying a little more attention this trip, I'm afraid I have to agree.
1. It is right beside a walking path, which some folks seem to use as a GC path.
2. When your awning is out it reaches all the way to the foot path where passersby are tempted to give it a good "Whack" as they walk past.
3. Because your awning is right by the foot path....so is your picnic table.
4. It's right beside a noisy bus stop.
5. Not much shade.
When we first passed by it, without realizing it was 617, I remarked to DH what a horrible site it was. He just said I should look at the site marker.
I noticed that campers didn't stay long and very few pulled their awnings out at all.
. . . . .
We're you able to get any pics of the fort's front gate. How's it looking?
What are your pros and cons of loop 1400 over the 900's your staying in? We always stay in loop 1400.
That's a great description of that site but you forgot the best feature. You can walk by on the path and snatch a hot dog or burger off the grill and never miss a beat. I forgot what TCD called it but it was something like "drive by dining" or "grab and go".
Oh and KFK, I'm loving your trip report. It's been great following along with your adventures.
