A note to everyone on this forum

[WebmasterPete]

Hi everyone,

A friend of mine mentioned today how much he loves this particular forum, and how much it's helped him in planning an upcoming stay to Fort Wilderness. I have to be honest, I hear this A LOT and it occurred to me that it might be nice if I dropped in and shared that feedback with all of you.

I have just recently been 'bitten' by the Fort Wilderness bug (actually, on my last visit I was bitten by about 12 of them) - it is now hands down my favorite Disney resort - something I never thought I would say (I'm not exactly the 'outdoorsy' type). While I'm not brave enough to go camping, I do love the cabins and everything about Ft. Wilderness. My partner Walter and I could not get over the sense of community that seems inherent at Ft. Wilderness - everyone smiles and says hello (something I rarely see at other resorts), and there is a relaxed pace that is unlike anywhere else I've stayed (Disney or otherwise).

I guess it makes sense that this forum would embody much of those same qualities.

Just thought I would share that observation here, and say "Thanks" to all of you who participate and make this a great example of a great forum on the DIS.

Pete

Welcome Pete!

That's all it takes. One visit and your hooked.

We were in Disneyland this Christmas and both my DDs are wanting to know when we're going back to the Fort. There is just something about the Fort that makes a Disney trip even more magical.

Campers in general are a friendly bunch of folk no matter where you're camping. The Fort is just a really cool place to mix and mingle.

Welcome Pete !
Just about everyplace you camp, you will find a a people unlike any other. They are actually friendly and likeable and tend to be helpful even! And at the Fort and on these camp'n boards, those wonderful qualities are even more magnified in these fine folks we refer to as fiends. What a great buncha folk they are !

And some time you'll hav'ta try out the fish'n at the Fort,,

I saw about 20 fishing boats in the Niagara River this morning and thought about you.

I wonder if Pete will show up here (the other Pete).

A visit from the Grand Master......Whoaaaa..... Glad to hear you finally came to your senses and realized the Fort is THE resort of choice. Seriously, thank you for the kudos. I agree, this is a fabulous bunch of folks with a great mixture of personalities, humor, input, brains, craziness, experience and pure fun.

I agree. In general campers are a friendly bunch of folks. This group is no exception. They are also helpful and hilarious...encouraging, honest, insightful, resourceful, talented, accepting, caring...I could go on and on.

Thanks for "stopping by" Pete! AND...a huge thanks for all you do to provide this great little place we all call the DIS.

Glad to see you have discovered the great outdoors. Now you need to try a little thing we call RV'ing...

 

[kc5grw]

Well, even getting hit in the head with the sword you get noticed.

 

[4mickey2]

why thank you, thank you very much....

 

[FlaFortCampster]

OMG, you guys are hilarious!!!!!

 

[Minnie&Mickey]

Pete, you might like the Fort now, but by the end of your next trip, you will LOVE the Fort. We are long-time DVC members, but we would rather stay at the Fort than any place else! I have learned so much by visiting this board...the Camping DISers are the best!

By the way, I love the podcast!

Welcome to the addiction of going to the Fort.

Ditto and you can't find a better group of folks willing to help each other than folks that camp/RV whatever.

Pete - You and Walter have to come back to the Fort soon! Better yet, bring the whole podcast crew to FW and let's have a party. Labor Day would be a great weekend. (Yes, I'll be there, but I'm guessing lots of the usual Fort Fiends will be there then too.)

This site is really great. Thanks for everything you do - both with the boards and with the podcast - all is great!

You know, I read threads like this and it makes me think about beer. But then, just about everything makes me think about beer. In Germany, beer is considered a food. That says a lot for my ancestors. I mean, you gotta admire a group of people who think that much of beer. I went to a local restaurant tonight and had a Labatt's. Those Canadians can make a good beer. I don't know if it's the cold weather or the fresh water or what, but their beer is good. What the heck were we talking about?
