It was a long night for OCSD and Reedy Creek FD.The holiday decoration competition is heating up. The people in the 1600 loop ordered a hit on all other sites with decorations
Judy’s site was the worst and here is the aftermath

Did she blow another circuit? I hear she's borrowing power from the trading post.

Do you know anyone driving around the fort all night???

I heard from a bus driver who heard from a lifeguard who heard from a friend that a friend next to Judy that the hit was put out those (who remain unnamed) in the 1600 loop.

I can't even get mine to inflate properly. No need to send a hit squad to my house, we're already DOA.

Wait until CAP and TRADE passes! The days of having enough electricity to have decorations will be over and this will be the scene all over the US. I also bet Disney will become "green" way before that and start evaluating the carbon footprint the Fort makes during Christmas, Halloween, etc and levels a surcharge. :hippie: Peace comrades. Its a change you can believe in.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think there was a previous thread and post about what someone's good ole' Southern grandma would do to these folks once we catch them......

Tis the season......:santa:

Is this... normal? I mean, do people go around doing this?

Now I will say that a few years ago, my parents were spending some time at FW and the person in the space next to them had SO many bright decorations -- which they left on all night -- that it was bright as day in the black of night even when my parents had their blinds drawn. I thought that was kinda inconsiderate...

Meanwhie, someone mentioned earlier the possibility (eventuality) of a surcharge based on usage. Wouldn't that be... um, kinda fair? I mean, obviously, it costs more to light up a bunch of decorations than a "non-decorated" site would... so wouldn't a surcharge be just kind of evening things out and making people pay their fair share?

It's all very... odd to me.

I feel like Spock, observing human behavior and shaking his head while muttering, "fascinating."

I'd heard rumors that Osbourne Lights would one day be replaced, now I guess we know what with...

I wonder if Kenny has considered how much he could make renting extension cords in addition to GCs? :lmao:

2 complainers VS thousands of happy guests. The fort actually makes sure the decorators get their sites every year so kinda doubt it's a problem to them. Sorry, but you lose.

:confused3 Did I miss something?? I love the decorations, the trick or treating, cart parades, everything campers do contributes to making the fort more magical than any hotel room. Don't know where you read a complaint from me...

And did you consider how much these decorators spend in time and money to give you a great FW experience? We spent a week across from 734. I can tell you Hilda spent days on her display. Spent hours and hours talking to other guests who dropped by to admire it ... it's a labor of love!

This thread was started as a JOKE! We know the people in the 1600 loop and they knew it was a joke. Every night most people turn off their decorations so we thought it would be funny to make a joke about it. We feel it is a shame that some people take life too seriously.

I think I was misunderstood. I was saying a poster was complaining on this thread and JohnVN had a complaint a couple weeks ago so that's the 2. The main reason we stay Thanksgiving every year is to see the decorations. You will never hear a complaint from me about decorations. To me that's what makes the fort what it is. Sorry you thought I attacked you.

:thumbsup2 That's what I thought. Glad to know it wasn't only me who was amused then. For a few minutes there I thought I'd misunderstood. Thanks for the pics. We enjoyed them at our house enough to wonder if there was room for an inflatable wonderland in the back of the van for our next trip down. DD thought perhaps we could convince Kenny to add them as a GC rental option like the strings of lights we bought to take along... giant hood ornaments anyone? :lmao:

No worries, we are both in total agreement then! :flower3:

Todd should have one of those warnings like a cigarette pack lol.

Warning: This product can and will disappear and reappear without notice. He will be at the fort for months on end. He will be zipping around on his golf cart. Most important if you ride with him hang on.
