Cabins at FW~ hints for a fabulous stay

[cjdj4]

Can anyone tell me what shape the filters I should bring for the 10-cup coffee pot? Cone or basket?

TIA

 

[Jcricket Fan]

They would be the basket type.

Have a great trip.

I have never been, and I am very excited. Thanks for the info!

This is just a little thing, but do remember that when you go to the pool, they do NOT have towels there. You have to bring some from the cabin, or bring your own!

We are going to the cabins Nov 29 - Dec 5. I am starting to get nervous about transportation to the parks. Is the internal busses quick? Or do you wait a long time between them? Also are the roads stroller friendly?

 

[NOLA_Tink]

We're also bringing a toothbrush holder (to save space & for sanitary reasons) and a can of cooking spray for cooking & grilling.

We had a stroller there and never had a problem- there are sidewalks everywhere.

If anyone can guess - what is the "longest" your walk to the internal bus could be. Could it be longer than 10 minutes?

Thanks - considering switching to a cabin for our August trip.

I believe the longest walk is from the back of the 1900 loop (around 1919) and that is 1400 feet which at a 2 mph stroll would take 8 minutes.



EDIT: Oh! I just saw you are looking at the cabins, and I don't have the cabin stops plotted, so I cannot help. Sorry. But I am going to leave the original post in case any campers were wondering the same thing.

Love the thread. I just discovered the cabins yesterday and they sound perfect for my family. We are going the last week in October with my Dad and I like that we can all stay together instead of getting 2 rooms. Plus I don't have to stress out about the kids being too loud or running down the halls in their excitement to beat us to the elevators

That's okay - you're a wealth of information!!

I know this is an older thread... but I am actually packing right now for our trip to FW cabins. Arriving next week-

We'll be bringing:
cheap tablecloth for the picnic table on the front porch
citronella bug candle for porch, bug spray for us and anti itch lotion
charcoal and lighter
outdoor christmas lights with extension cord and timer for porch (my hubby was not too thrilled to climb into the attic and dig through the christmas decorations... but I made him! )
purple colored battery powered lights for golf cart (DH is huge Baltimore Ravens fan... to each his own.)
the usual kitchen stuff folks have mentioned (coffee filters, etc)
over the door shoe organizer for back of bathroom door- put all of our lotions, hair products, etc in the orgainzer)
night light (for any middle of the night potty trips)
tips for mousekeeping in separate envelopes (1 enevlope per day)
smores ingredients
bag full of quarters, pop up laundrey basket, new Purex 3 in 1 sheets (laundrey soap, fab.softener and dryer sheet all in 1- much easier to remember 1 sheet then all 3 of those items separately)
Glow in the dark neckalaces, bracelets, glow sticks, etc- kids love wearing them around when the sun goes down
Grown up drinks!!! the kind that go into a frosty mug...
I can't think of anything else that someone already hasn't mentioned.
I can't wait to get there and get settled in!!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful trip!!!

This is great information! Right now we are torn between staying at POR or the cabins, but after reading this thread, I'm almost convinced the cabins will be much better. There are 5 of us, so we don't want to be cramped in one hotel room, and it seems the cabins are much roomier. Thanks for all the great info

Command hooks. Over the door hooks. Under bed organizer - my sister used zip around kind from dollar store. They had 6 adults and came in handy. Also, pop up cubes used to store undies, etc on shelving on either side of the murphy. Rain ponchos. If you're driving and have room extra camp chair, otherwise you only have benches. Power strip for charging all cell phones, etc. Have fun!

Subbing...we pushed our trip up a few weeks and are now leaving in 15 days - But now I'm freaking about forgetting something. Thanks for all the great tips!

Is there a spot next to the Murphy bed for an alarm clock? I can't stand waking up and not knowing what time it is...although I can always use the cell phone.

There are cabinets on either side of the bed. Have you looked at all the photos of the cabins? That's where you shoulds store your clothes, too, from what I've heard from other folks. I won't know until August 16!!!

The cabinets reach about table height, with a deep counter-top back to the windows (on either side of the Murphy).

Perfect - thank you!

another tip, when you first get there, make sure the ice maker is working, we didn't have ice for a little while, my dh and dad fixed the one we were staying in, but we were drinking cocktails faster then the ice machine was making ice!!! or bring your own. I can't wait to go back there, the cabins were very peaceful!
