Bob, Dave Liv,,we didn't get started til 10: o'clock,,when we shot down 840 ya'll were gone !! We hit the horn hoping you'd hear us coming, but to no avail, sorry ya'll. But I gotta say,, the horn was kinda annoying for the first 15 miles.
We are stopped at "Southern Gates RV Park & Campground" off of I-75 exit 92 at Arabi, GA..
It is a old, well taken care of, pet friendly, clean,cable TV, has a pool, and a FISHING POND !! [
When you check in they give you homemade cookies and big milk bones for the puppies, :thumbsup2 And the folk are real friendly.
I would recommand this RV Park.

Gage, Gretchen, and I froze our rears off waiting on you and the rest of the TN clan to pick us up earlier. Plus, I had no way of gettin' in touch with Bob or Dave to see what time to expect you. Geesh, we need some better communication here people!
Seriously, my family and I went out to eat this evening which always leads to a Wal-Mart run. The whole time all I could think about was getting home to see if you had updated us yet Frank. Thanks for the update...now I can go to bed.:rotfl2:

Oh man, I'm just now getting this! I was up until 1:30 this morning watching Little House on the Prairie with my 9 year old, so she and I slept in. We were already packed because we were expecting to be picked up yesterday. Oh well, I guess it'll have to be next time. I would LOVE to participate in a future GG and meet all you wonderful people.

Actually, there was a group of us that tried to make a GG happen this past summer in Pigeon Forge, or possibly in Gettysburg, but we couldn't get the individual pieces together. We'll have to see about next year, since there are a number of people in the group that weren't here when we were talking about 2009.

I'm waiting to hear what happened at the Fort. This "unhappiness" seems to be creeping into people's conversation more & more lately. Is it because we've become too demanding, or because Disney is really dropping the ball alot?

Frank,
You must have brought these cold temperatures with ya. We have gone from record heat to record cold. Also, the FT has gone from empty to super-packed this past weekend. I could not believe how crowded it was this weekend. There was a grand gathering in our loop and it was packed with kids, bikes and golf carts. Of course nobody had lights on the bikes so it was tough maneauvering after dark in the loop. It was crazy. My car got hit twice by kids on bikes so we're not real happy now; kinda scratched up the door.
Yeah, I went looking for TCD also but he was never there. His site was sure decorated. Think I saw him on the golf cart once with one of his daughters but they were gone before I could say hi.
Let's hope it warms up alittle and the crowds stay away.

And right now after riding thru the Fort for our last of the evening ride, I think the Fort is a average of about 3/4 full.
There is a drainage ditch right behind our site, and I do mean it is a drainage ditch,,it's bout 2 to 2 1/2 feet deep,,but I did manage to catch about a 10 inch bass outta it, :lmao:,,if D can get the photo bucket to work we'll try to post some pics.

Frank, do I have to bring my own worms to fish? I may have forgotten to mention this earlier, but I'm not really a good worm wrangler, and I'm almost certain worms don't like to fly.

Well we made it, checked in a day early. Sorry Dave and Liv, I went slow looking for y'all but didn't see youins. I started raining just as we pulled in to check in and stopped just as we finished. Of course we didn't get where we requested so we are in 800 in the back where I had to take the dish out in the woods to get a signal so I could watch my Phillies win the championship! We may be moving tomorrow where I can get a better signal for the Worlds Series so we didn't even put the awning out yet.

Wow, what a eventful and awesome day we had today.
Last night we smelled something not right in the camper,,(no it wasnt me Fort'n) and then Braden found it, smoke and fry'n com'n from the fuse box , :scared1: First thought,,the converter. Disney sent out maintenance to check the electric box , it was fine. We called mobile RV Maintenance, said he couldnt come til this morning,,and Disney offered us a CABIN to stay in for the night,,FOR FREE !! The RV repair came , fix'd the prob,,turned out to be wiring.
Okay, so today we fished with John,Erica, and Matt. Denise and Matt caught the fish today,,bream,,way cool, :thumbsup2
Then we all went swimming at the new Fort waterpark,,again,,WAY COOL !
Talk'd toRailmail again today, they have to go home tomorrow,,bummer.
Got to meet TnBob and DW Cathy,,great people.
And while loop'n tonight we ran into Nicole and Jim, they were headed to the pool.
The Fort is FULL !! And now it seems that the Management here are not put'n the GG in the same loop,,:confused3 , so far they have put everyone inna a different loop from each other.
Still wait'n to hear from the other fiends who are com'n,,HELLO WHERE ARE YOU ?
And TnBob has offered for all to meet at his site tomorrow evening/night to meet and greet, bring some dogs to eat, smores, drinks , what ever ya like to munch an drink. There are picnic tables right behind his site,:thumbsup2

It was a good day yeasterday (except for the bus service) we went to the MK and had a great time. No waits longer than 10 min on most stuff and no shoulder to shoulder crowds. we got a golden pass from one of the transportation guys because of the long bus wait so we used it on splash mt. There was a party at the MK last night and it looked like it was gonna be a busy night with people streeming in with costumes (a lot of Capt. Jacks). well we will hang out here today and Kathy and Bailey will swim and i will do my Camping World run. I hope some Disers can come by tonight at get together between the 600 and the Meadow near the fishing dock.

Good morning ya'll !!
A absolute beautiful morning at the Fort!! I MEAN !!
I believe we'll be hang'n round the Fort mostly today,,just Fort'n around, :lmao: Wait'n to see who shows up today, :confused3
RV Mobile Repair,,the night of the trouble, he advised us what to do,,shut everything cept for 12 volt so we'd have lights. He came the next morning, RIGHT ON TIME :thumbsup2. He did a complete check of the fuse box , converter, and all of the wiring there-in. He did a excellent job of explain'n the problem, what he needed to do, he was very pro, quick, and reasonable price under the circumstan for the offer of the cabince. I WOULD use him again.
As for the cabin offer to stay in,,it was very late when all this happened, they sent a fellow down with a key to a cabin to stay in,,the night was REALLY beautiful, so we decided to open the windows an stay in the camper,,we called them at the front desk, thanked them for their thoughtfulness and declined the key.
As often as Disney upsets me, sometimes the do come thru, :thumbsup2
Well it looks like a lotta campers are pull',n outta our loop (500) this morning,
havnt been around yet to look at other loops.,
Got to see Railmail this morning,,they are pack'n up to head home, MAN thats sad to havta leave :sad2: very nice folk.

That may not be necessarily true. So far the only ones that are actually in the group reservation that have arrived is John. There are a few others arriving today that are actually in the group reservation. Those are the ones that should be in 400.
As I said before, there are a grand total of 24 sites that actually booked in the group reservation all arriving different dates with the most over Halloween weekend. By just weeding through all the threads, there are least that many families or more that indicated they would be there that time frame and booked outside the group reservation., so no, not everyone will be in the group loop.
It sounds like the weather is looking great!!! and everyone is having a wonderful time!!

Sounds like a similar problem we had when we stayed in the Fort - our converter did quit and we found out when the lights dimmed and our battery went dead, fridge control stopped (you would have thought the 120 volt would keep the fridge going, but I guess that controller was still 12 volt). The front desk directed us to an RV parts place out in Kissimee that had better prices than I expected. Swapped out the converter and everything was fine after that, just lost about 4 hours of the afternoon.

We had a great time, but then that's a given. Got to visit with Frank (born2fish) and Denise a couple of times and really enjoyed talking with them. It's good to put a face with our on-line chats. :surfweb: We sure hated to leave, but that's the way it goes.
Well, we drove all the way home after leaving the fort. Had a couple of instances on the freeway but kept on movin'. Pulled in the driveway at 12:30 am and realized that the place was dark as a dungeon, no security light, no landscape lights, security system wouldn't respond, garage door no open, guess what.......no juice!! :scared1: Well crap, we haven't had a power failure in over two years and naturally it has to happen when we're gone. DW called the power company and they called us back in about 5 minutes. I did some troubleshooting over the phone but no results. So, in less than an hour later a technician appears in the driveway. Turns out some poor squirrel has fried himself and blew a fuse in the transformer behind the house. And of course we're the only house on that transformer, so no one in the neighborhood has reported it. By 1:30 the yard is lit up like a Christmas tree and we're inspecting for damage. Security system tells us that power was lost at 11:44 am on Wed. Weather has been cool and freezers are full of still-frozen food, what a relief. :woohoo: So, today has been the normal catch-up of laundry :laundy:, yard-work, etc. We're already planning our next trip to the fort. Reservations were made last month and we'll be back in Dec. 2010.
Hope everyone is enjoying their stay.
Seeing all the pics just makes me wish I was there even more. :sad1:

Last night a few folk just kinda happened over at Johns site. Lornaduck came by for a breif hello, as did Cajunpeach. Tigger,n Bama (Kelly) was there, The Great Gonzo(Richard), Kagoguen (Keven), an Homebrew (Denny),an TnBob and can't forget his sweety granddaughter Bailey . And a part of Wild Bunch came by for a quick visit,,Kelly was not feel'n her best last night.
OHHH, an John , Erica , an Matt were there too !!
I'm sure there was MUCH more going on last night, but as I am a early to bed person,,,well,, you get the picture.
I can tell you that a lotta fiends hit parks yesterday,,D Braden an I hung at the Fort. We went to the Fort waterpark (had to do some sliding) and then to the pool cabins pool,,where we met a couple women (from the great state of Texas)who told us about one of the best places to learn about the Fort an Disney, the CAMPING DISBOARDS! She said she's never joined or posted but has lurked for a few years to find her info ,,and thats when we mention'd we do the boards too..I'm always amazed when I meet regular lurkers who don't post.
From loop'n last night I'd guess the Fort is bout 1/2 to 2/3 full, :confused3 Closer to 1/2 .

Rog arrived at the DHS as we were leav'n, and when we got back to the bus depot we saw PirateJeffs buggy so he musta been at a park too :confused3.
I forgot to mention , the morn'n after Rog arrived at the Fort, his back went out on him,,he spent most of daylight on lay'n down, we were pretty worried for him there, then that ol Disney Magic slowly kicked in and started help'n him feel better,,it was that or the pain medicine, :confused3.
We do have a few pics to post, but will havta wait til we get home to do it on the home PC,,this lap top thing just dont wanna cooperate.
BUT, if you plead real loud maybe one a the other fine loopers here will post some.

Carol that's great. Deb see you tomorrow. We got in about 8 last night I tried to get the MH set up, was very tired and went to sleep early. We are in 402 great site, haven't done much looping yet. Met up with we4mickey or her sister get them both confused, really nice people. Homebrew came by and Tigerinbama. We need to still meet Rog and Frank so stop by and say HI.
Hey Lorna, how you guys doing. We are supposed to get there on Thursday. Got some brake problems with the old moho, but hope to have them fixed and ready to go tomorrow.
Richy must be doing well, which is good to hear.

John, Karla and I fished the marina dock , got there at 5:AM and fished til they opened for bizz. Then went fish'n to another spot briefly and Rog came at that fish'n hole.
Between all, we prob caught 17 to 20 swimmers, pretty nice too, :thumbsup2
We passed and spoke to Deb for a moment a few minutes ago, she brought the GEM and is going after the MH.

Hey everyone! It was GREAT to meet "y'all" (that's my new word that I am going to use up here in New England just to confuse all us northerners). I had such a blast with everyone. "Y'all" are some of the nicest, funniest people I've ever met and I can't wait for the next time we can get together. Denise - I'm sorry I wasn't able to stop to say good bye before I left. That whole 5:00 am fishing thing (or should I say "5:00 am sitting on the dock chit-chatting because it was pre-coffee and I was not functioning very well and couldn't fish" thing) really threw me for a loop and I had to go back to the cabin and sleep.
Frank and John - thanks for inviting me - next time I promise I will actually pick up a pole and fish!!
Hoping you all have a GREAT rest of your vacation, please do me the honor and raise your glasses (or big red cups) for a toast for me, and have a safe trip home! :goodvibes

The only fairy that ever visited me while on vacation is the one that breaks water pipes in your crawlspace. That fairy sucks.

Well we are home from the Fort. And not because we want to be. I am how ever very grateful to have had the time I had there to spend with my lovely wife and son, gett'n to meet all the awesome fiends,, who are really awesome friends.
It is really amazing to me that today there still a genuine old fashion camaraderie amongst a group of folk, that can rarely be found in todays time. I have met many of those folk and am proud call them friends. There are some that I was not able to meet, but not because I didnt try or didn't want to, it just didnt work out. I'm sure there will always be another time. There are also some fine folk who couldnt come to this event, and I missed them (Auntie), and others who couldnt make it that I wish could have.
All I can say, if you have the opportunity to make a GG or to meet any of these fine folk,,do it,,its worth it.
TR coming soon,,in bits,,and pieces,,.:upsidedow

Do you fish after 1:00 p.m.? If you do, let me know. I would love the chance to fish with you. It would be my honor. I just can't seem to roll out of bed at a decent hour. I told you those people didn't feed me or let me sleep!:rotfl2:

TIDBITS FROM THE FORT :
1. BDRog won the fishing award for catch'n the biggest fish while at the Fort,,close 2'nd was Scot, Ami's husband (Mr.PolynesianPixie)
2. The coffee at the Meadows does in fact really SUCK as reported by ftwildernessguy.
3.The new Fort waterpark is very nice as are the new hot tubs. I'd swear there were folk from OTHER resorts swimm'n in the Fort pool.

We are so sorry that we didn't have more time to meet and spend with fellow Diser's. Our family comes over for this week and we have to spend time with them. I meet many new fiends and wish I had met more.
I do want to thank Carol for all the work she did for our group reservation and hosting the GG on the 31st, even if I didn't get over there. She did a great job for us.
If anyone is interested in going over July 4th 2010 I would consider looking into a group reservation for us, let me know. If we can get a break on price, why not do it that way again. Also let's start planning next Oct.
