Fort Wilderness Campgrounds Part 2
Trails End Restaurant
After a great morning and afternoon with the grandchildren, the crew headed back to Cabin 2209. The grandparents needed a quick break before heading back out for dinner. Much to their surprise, the cabin was back in working order and Mouse Keeping added a few of their special touches!
The dish rags in the kitchen were so cute...and Woody was all tucked in bed with a swan on the end keeping watch. Don't ya just love Disney??!!
One of the great aspects of FW cabins is the size, or should I say the 2 separate rooms?! The kids could go to the bedroom and watch TV, while the adults relaxed in the den area...very nice!
After a much needed rest, it was time to head to dinner. Along the way, they stopped at the Trading Post to look at Pins for Stephen...he wanted to start one of those pin trading deals. And true to Disney fashion...Mickey is dressed the part for Fort Wilderness!
DS9 (Stephen) loves nature...so he's always wanting to snap shots of ANY animal, big or small...here are some of the shots along the way while walking and riding...
Not sure how they spotted this little guy!?
Another plus for FW...the wildlife...it's everywhere...but guess that means there are snakes, also, lurking somewhere
And the reason I say snakes...well...take a look at this...it's swamp land! Well, not 'true' swamp, but it does appear that water stands here with the cypress trees when it's really wet. We didn't see any slithery friends, though.
Off to dinner at.....
When they arrived, the hostess did not have their 6:30 reservation number listed
...however it was no big deal...they were seated anyway. Not sure what happened???
Faith eats like a little bird...we're not quite sure how she continues to grow!

Stephen said the ribs were OUTSTANDING!!!!
Everyone really, really enjoyed the food. Actually, it was a pleasant surprise...they said it is one of the better buffets at WDW...and reasonably priced...for WDW, that is!
Would not hesitate to eat here again!!!
After dinner, the kids wanted to return to the Chip n Dale Sing-along! They didn't get enough the night before
Of course, they were a little early! Jesse was able to get autographs tonight (Ma Hopie bought him his very own book)
They had plenty of the Smores kit left over, so they did that again, too! Who can really resist a good smores????!!!
We thought about buying all the stuff to make smores before we arrived...thank goodness we didn't!!! It was too convenient to just buy it there...the perfect amount for 3 kids, for 2 nights!
After stuffing their faces with smores...it was time for the Sing-along...BUT...it started raining, so the crew left. Honestly, I think they were tired and secretly
ready to go back and relax in the cabin. The next day is going to be long!!! Check in at the Contemporary then hit Epcot full force!
Stay tuned...up next... Early Morning pictures of FW and a review of the campground!
