    Mickey lamp post, battery with LEDs?

    I found the instructions for building a Mickey lamp post, looks easy enough. Question I have, and a search didn't help me, is has anyone done one that uses battery power with LED lights? If so, any links or details you can provide would be appreciated. Especially type of LEDs used and how you...

    1st Time at Fort Wilderness

    The ones closest to the boats (100, 200 & 300) are pretty tight. The first time we went we were worried about location. Now we just get what we get. Much less stress and worry. I'm not sure that there is a bad site there.

    Help - Feb 14th Fantansy - Last minute

    We just booked a 7 day on the Fantasy with stops at San Juan, St. Martin and castaway cay. Been reading up on excursions at Pitt and think we'll get that figured out. We are first timers with 12 yo daughter and 9 yo son. The part I need that I can't find is the Disney Cruise 101. Is...

    Disney Veterans -- How has your recent experience been with the new guidelines

    We are a Disney loving family, but the Dining Plans and reservations are making me loathe Disney. While the planing months in advance is fun for a lot of you, that isn't our cup of tea. We like the flexibility of going where we want, when we want. The dining plan, while i know many love it...

    My "Back from the Fort" Report

    I think at the time it was full hook up, but we made it quite some time ago and weren't sure what was going to be what at the time we were there. I think the upgrades trapped us back there. Hopefully that is an isolated problem of being in the midst of upgrades. DW is already pushing for...

    My experience with the Quick Service Dining Plan

    We weren't offered any;) , but found out by asking we could substitute any side item or drink for it that you could choose with your meal anyway. For instance, we could get a bag of grapes, more fries, bottles of water or apple juice to name a few. But for the most part, it all ended up being...

    My experience with the Quick Service Dining Plan

    We just returned from a week long trip to Disney, at the Fort Wilderness Campground with the Quick Service Dining Plan (QSR). All in all it was OK, but I am not too satisified with it, nor would I do it again. First off - Children are required to order from the kids menu as stated, but their...

    My "Back from the Fort" Report

    Just returned last night. We were down there from 1/24 thru 2/1. The good: 1. We were in Disney 2. My 6 year old had a GREAT Birthday 3. Weather was great, except Friday (rainy and 50's) The bad: 1. We asked to be as close to the marina as possible on the reservation, and faxed a...

    I-75 construction?

    We are leaving tomorrow for the Fort from Michigan, headed down I-75. Does anyone know if the is any major construction we should worry about? I know the northern states are wrapped up for winter but wasn't sure about mid or southern states. Any information is appreciated! Craig

    Weekly Photo Contest - Jan 19 thru Jan 25 - Relax... you're on vacation

    Most certainly the Dawa Bar. Done many battles with the Margaritas there, only to find out I lost. I am in the photo album a few times. When sitting at the bar, ask the bar keepers if you can look through it. Been the same bar keepers there for many years now! As a little hint, the...

    T-4 days and counting......

    I understand that the white stuff, in addition to the several days of negative temperatures (in f) are a result of global warming. :confused3

    T-4 days and counting......

    Absolutely cannot wait until Thursday Evening when our Journey to the Fort begins. It will be a nice 9 days at the Fort for us. This is part of the reason we are so excited: I wonder how far south we'll have to go before all of it (that doesn't blow off) melts off?

    Need ideas for trip to disney....

    For trips down to Disney, or other long trips, we overnight in a lot someplace. Our furnace runs on propane with the help of our 5'er's battery, fridge runs on propane, and we travel with a full tank of water. We got everything we need, so why spend $30 to park at a campground? All we need is...

    Something is happening near the pool!!!

    Better yet would be to put a Mickey in it and you could read about the new Hidden Mickey at FW for years to come!!! :joker:

    Do you think a golf cart/car rental is necessary if staying @ Fort Wilderness

    A golf cart sure would be nice for getting from transportation to the campsite after a long day of parking. We just can't justify the price, even the off site ones, since it would sit all day and only get a couple trips a day. But we spend almost all of our awake time at the parks. If we...

    Anyone go with NO BUDGET!!

    We don't budget, or even worry about it all that much, but we don't get every last thing that we'd like to have. We order what we want and buy some things to bring home. $$ is always a consideration, so things that are riducously expensive stay at Disney.

    Hmm...

    Everything! You never know this time of year, it can be a really mixed bag. The forcast shows that they are expecting highs in the 60's and lows in the 40's, so you may not need shorts. Usually this time of year, we (from Michigan) end up wearing shorts and bring a sweatshirt for morning and...
