Hi all, long term reader but rarely post. My family and I just got back from 2 weeks at the fort, and I thought I would keep daily notes so I could put together a trip report. Let me know what you think.
Mask enforcement was very good at the parks. Had one person picking up trash outside of Epcot see someone without their mask fully on, and he radioed ahead to the next CM pointing the person out. Another time, after the doors were closed on Star Tours, someone pulled his mask down, and a CM came on the speaker and said that the ride would not start until the masks were all in place. There were more people at the Fort who were not wearing masks (runners, golf cart riders, dog walkers).
Generally people were also pretty good with distancing, with just a few random issues in que lines throughout the trip.
Only saw 2 people with Gaiters instead of masks (both we on the ferry from the Fort to the Magic Kingdom).
WDW does not seem to be doing much to ban selfie sticks.
Saw one person try and sneak a smoke, and a CM shut him down quickly.
Wild turkeys and deer were seen everywhere!
On Friday (1/22/21) we left our home in Morehead City, NC. It was also my son’s 26th birthday, so we had a birthday lunch before we took off. I loaded up my 32’ Winnebago Sunstar with a car in tow. We left mid-afternoon, and spent the night at a Walmart parking lot in Smithfield, NC (right off I-95), where we also got groceries/supplies. We had checked beforehand to make sure overnights were allowed.
On Saturday (1/23/21), we traveled to Ki Ki RV park in Kingsland, GA for an overnight stay. “RV Park” might be an overstatement. There was one site that was not occupied by permanent residents. The park was right off the interstate, next to an Econo-lodge (where you check in). Sites were very close together, and the promised cable didnt work. The site served its purpose for a single overnight stay, but I would probably look for somewhere else next time.
On Sunday (1/24/21) we drove the rest of the way to the Fort. Traffic really not bad. Got there at 2PM and our site was ready. We had asked for a Preferred site, and got space 311 (we were hoping for loop 100 or 200). We appeared to be the only people in the loop without a doggie (we had to leave our 170 pound swiss mountain dog, Buzz, at home). Loop looked about 2/3's full. After getting set up, we headed over to Wilderness Lodge for dinner at Whispering Canyon. This was my first time at the Lodge, and the buildings were incredible. We ate WAY to much dinner, so we headed back to the RV and bedded down for the night.
More daily reports to come as I write them up.............................
