    Golf Cart Ent.

    We rented two for 9 days at the beginning of June. We had no problems at all and John delivered them to me himself at the FW front office. Both were gas, and both were used alot with no problems. Highly recommended. GRIFF

    Early Morning Transportation suggestion

    We just got back from 9 days at WDW and I'd like to pass on something that worked for us. While the Disney Transportation system is probably superior to all others, we used our own vehicle to go to Epcot, MGM, and The Animal Kingdom. Fort Wilderness will provide you with a parking permit that...

    Camping in Florida on the way down

    We just got back. We stayed 10 miles east of Biloxi at a KOA in Ocean Springs while heading toward Florida. We stayed at the Casino Magic campground in Bay St. Louis on the way home. The Casino Magic campground was a very pleasant surprise. The bathhouse was better than Disney's, and the sites...

    Smoke Situation

    I am leaving tomorrow and will arrive at WDW on Sat. morning. What can I expect in the way of smoke from the numerous fires in Florida. What is the situation in the theme parks, do you smell the smoke, is it hazy? I hope these fires don't put a black eye on 12 months of planning. GRIFF

    GCE Golfcarts update

    A few days ago someone posted about not being able to reach GCE Golfcarts. This coupled with the fact that their web sit was down led to speculation they may be out of business. I spoke to John at GCE this morning and business is booming. They have just changed locations because he just...

    Dry Ice questions

    first off, dry ice has to be handled with gloves because it will burn you just as bad as a heat burn. I used dry ice once to keep frozen salmon on a flight from Portland, Or. to New Orleans. We froze the salmon in a regular freezer, put it in a ice chest with 4 lbs of dry ice, and filled all...

    In 1987 when my son was 10, he was picked out of the crowd at the Hoop de do reveiw. They put a cowboy hat on him and gave him a broom. He had to sweep around like he was sweeping the saloon. We are going back this summer and he will be there with his girlfriend. I might just sneak in a picture...
