    Renting tent equipment?

    I'm not aware of anyone who rents tent equipment other than Disney. Disney does rent tents (canvas wall style), cots, etc. but the quality of the offerings was not good a few years ago and haven't heard much since. They were primarily targeted at those staying the in the group campsite...

    Tell me the "weather" where you live.

    Got up to 85F outside and up to 75F inside the house so today (March 14) I had to flip on the AC. Ed

    Any word or any prep work being done for new DVC cabins?

    Yep the "middle of March" is when they are supposed to begin starting the removal and replacement process. And wouldn't you think they would finish a model ASAP including deck and side closures to have for walk-throughs? The cabin pool with its changing rooms and laundry room in the rear...

    DISmeet at the Fort 2024?

    I got the Wine & Dine 5k and 10k registrations done this morning so I can firm up my DISMeet attendance dates. We will arrive on October 30 (Wed) and depart on November 8 (Fri). That's means we'll be dropping the reservation from 11/8 to 11/11. Also we have a Lake Louisa pre-stay for the...

    The DisFort's Chit Chat Cafe

    Well I manage to get BOTH the 5k and 10k for the Wine & Dine weekend of runDisney (5k, 10, and half). The IT experience with Disney races is never boring - it's an emotional ride on something like GOTG. Those two races are Nov 1 (5k) and Nov 2 (10k) at 5am :crazy: starting at the Epcot parking...

    Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend (Oct. 31-Nov. 3, 2024)

    That same window that had gotten down to 33 minutes, then back up to over an hour, has resumed counting now 58 minutes.

    Any word or any prep work being done for new DVC cabins?

    I'm getting to the age where I am attracted to the idea of a small outlay for not having to mess with a camper to/from Disney. After our trip this past January which included one token night in a cabin, I realized that while I love that the Cabins get me into Fort Wilderness, the cabin loops...

    The DisFort's Chit Chat Cafe

    Just signing up me tomorrow for whatever I can get, Kris. I tried to get me and DD signed up a few years ago for the 5k/10k during Marathon week in early January but I was filling in the forms for the two of us (she had to work that morning - ha!). Well I got one of loaded in and which seemed...

    Maximum Number of Guests Reduced For The Fort Campsites

    Well, for the legitimate large families that could prove or show that they had more than 10 in the past (whatever that system was) I'm sure the same system will cover the 8-person limit. Based on my experience in 1500 and 2000 loops over the decades, the abuse of the 10 person limit comes from...

    Cactus League MLB Spring Training 2024 Trip Report

    Just to close the loop on my souvenirs that Rusty (@TheRustyScupper ) asked about. 1. Previously shared pics of Goodyear Ball Park (Indians and Reds) souvenir cups. 2. Two Cleveland Indians stadium cups from Jacobs Field in Cleveland from ebay. 3. A Cleveland 2024 Spring Training...

    The DisFort's Chit Chat Cafe

    Which one should I try for first? 5K or 10K? I'll use the method employed by most registrants but if it comes down to having to pick, which? I have read that in the past the 10K was the first to fill up although the Swedish Chef medal for the 5k seems to interest many folks. I had been...

    I'm waiting for the grass to dry out after the rain down south here but yeah, it's time to start the yard maintenance thing again, @tiggerdad . Prolly tomorrow morning. Dang it.

    MLB Spring Training 2024 Trip Report- East Coast Style

    Cacti Park looks like many of the Arizona spring training parks (including Cleveland's Goodyear Park). Those FL teams got to work on their menus, though. I do recall going to a game a few years ago in Port St. Lucie at the New York Mets park that had some good burgers and foot longs down in...

    Thinking about it…

    Melissa M, I didn't see this post when I was at the Fort in January (2 months ago). But the FW main pool looked the same. I'm an old Ohio boy (from the North East corner of the state). Many of us are planning to go back to the Fort the 1st full week of November 2024 for a TRUE DISMeet. I...

    Cactus League MLB Spring Training 2024 Trip Report

    I admit I pulled out the DVD and watched it before we left for Arizona (because the first part of the movie is set in spring training).
