We just got back from a 5 day/ 4 night stay! So nice to get away even if we were working while there! As many of you know this is our first camper and this was our first "real trip". We left Ft.Myers and got up there by 3:30. We only had one camper ahead of us so check in was a breeze! I got my gimp golf cart and we were on our way! Our site was 432 roadside. Yes, the busses were loud as were the kids on the golf carts. I won't complain because A. I'm not home and 2. They were kids having fun and they could be doing a lot worse than balsting the same song over and over and over while they looped over and over and over. By the way this was a premium pet loop but I could not tell you if it was an improvement since this was out first trip. We were the SMALLEST thing in there- the Prevost people were all around us and they were pulling utilitiy trailer bigger than us! It was quite comicial if I say so myself!
So, Friday we set up without incident and just relaxed a bit. We were tired so we did Trail's End to go. DH had wings (blech) and I had the all white meat dinner (yummy) we went to bed early.
Saturday, we woke up and I made breakfast outside. On the menu: Fresh ground coffee, OJ, sausage patties, eggs and toast. We cleaned up and took a nap. After out nap we went looping in "The cart that could not get out of it's own way". We saw these mesh rooms and decided we needed one. So, off to Wally world. When we were in the car, DD made an amusing comment. She pretended she was on an intercom "Attention all cast members we have a code red situation, we have guests leaving the bubble repeat we have guests leaving the bubble. Be prepared to stop them if you see them. This is serious they are going to spend money outside of the bubble!" Maybe it was funnier if you were there, but you get the idea. So, we get to the zoo, er I mean wally world and it is crazy of course. We went over to the camping section and asked about these screen rooms. Just as we are about to take it some ill mannered gentleman grabbed and and says "Looks like that is the last one"
So we ask if they possibly have any more anymore. They came back and said no, but if you are willing to take a Florida Gators one you can have in for half price! We are now officially Gators fans by way of wally world
So we get back set it up and realize that the square footage of the "Gator Dome" is greater than our camper! Too funny. We were ready for lunch and I made grilled pastrami sammies with italian pasta salad. After lunch we napped. We woke up and looped a bit. I looked for lime green mickey signs, but nothin! Went by the pool and new loop. This may be posted, but it is all camper sites no cabins. I also saw parts of a waterslide. We went back watched TV and chilled. For dinner I made a Valentine's day dinner of steak, loaded mashed taters and salad. Oh, and wine for me, rootbeer for Gabriella and beer for Alan. We just chilled after that. At 3:30 in the Am DH wakes me up and asks if I turned off the A/C I told him no. That is when it happened--- our first malfunction! We checked everthing and I called had Disney check out elect which was fine. In the AM (Sun no less) we called Frank's RV repair and he came out and fixed the shoreline box. It was not installed correctly. BTW Frank was professional, and quick I would recommend. Before he got there I was grinding the coffee and brewing right from the elec stump! So, when he left I made brunch. I made steak and eggs. We napped. At dinner we were grouch from broken sleep and I was hungry so I made dinner. It was pancetta and onions sattueed and chix tenders cooked in the fat then I melted colby jack cheese on top and served with yellow rice and black beans. It is now called something chicken and DH loved it! Gabriella had a feta cheese salad. We went to watch fireworks and came back and chilled. It rained and that was great! Very relaxing.
On Monday I got up made coffee and breakfast. I cooked bacon and onions and then cooked shredded potatoes in the fat. Melted cheese on top toasted bagels and there you have it. Same routine, nap and loop. For lunch we went to Giradelli's and had ice cream. THAT was the moment I was waiting for. I had the menu at home and would show it to DH every night! Guess what we did after we got back? If you guessed nap you would be correct. Dinner was ham steak sammies and chips. I can't tell you haw many times I dumped grey water from the dishes I washed! For those of you who know me, I NEVER cook at home. With our crazy schedules it never works out right. So, when we got the camper I said that we would eat well. And sleep well. Tue am I made pancakes bacon and eggs and we hooked up and came home. No, we never went to any parks, and that was just fine by me. We had a great time and relaxed as well as worked. I left all of the work out of the TR but we did everyday. I will post pics later but I have to call Coachman to see if they will pay for the repair. Thanks for reading!

First, you said 400 is a pet loop. Is that official? Where did you hear it? If it's true, this is news.
