If you wanna do something "Disney" for someone for Christmas, then this is the most important guy in all of Disney (cept for Santa Claus)

He's the one who delivers the Magic to Disney,
and the proof is tight there on his truck,

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS AT "THE FORT":

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through our RV,
Not one person was stirring, and not even ole me.
The stockings were hung ‘cross the slide out with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas, can find us, out here.

The children were nestled, all snug in bunk beds,
While visions of sugar plums, now danced in their heads.
And we in our warmest, for the heater did snap,
Had just settled down for a long winter’s nap.

When out in The Fort, there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bunk to see what's the matter.
Down the ladder, to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the blinds and rubbed frost off the glass.

The moon light shining on the new fallen snow,
Gave the appearance of midday to the pedestals below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But, a miniature fifth-wheel, and eight tiny reindeer.

No one wakes in our camper, without causing a stir,
No matter how silent, and nimble they were.
So the family came running and joins me right now,
To watch the occurance, from RV's stern to its bow.

We saw the old driver, so lively and quick,
We all knew in a moment, it must be St. Nick.
Faster than trucks, his reindeer they came,
And he whistled and shouted and called them by name.

Now Dasher, now Dancer, now Prancer and Vixen,
On Comet, on Cupid, on Donner and Blitzen.
On vinyl of roof, and fiberglass wall,
Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!

Like an awning before the wild hurricanes fly,
When met with an great force, and rips unto sky.
So up to the top of the camper, the coursers they flew,
With heavy of fifth-wheel, and St. Nicholas, too.

Then, with a loud creak up above, I heard on the roof,
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
“The way that they sound, they will rip it to shreds!”
Said Dad as his eye balls popped out of his head.

As we looked away from the window and were turning around,
Down the way too small air vent, came Nick with a bound.
We gasped at the sight, disbelieving what's here,
With a wink of his eye, we had nothing to fear.

Dressed in all fur, from his head to his foot,
His clothes were all tarnished, with ashes and soot.
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
Dad winced at our site, for we had no room to pack.

To our stockings he went, counting eight in the hall,
Hung up with care, on the slide out's long wall.
In the glow of our tree did we watch with delight,
As he continued his work in our camper that night.

He gave what we wished, 'cause he always just knew,
The wants of our hearts, without needing a clue.
Then laying his finger, on the side of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the air vent, he rose.

He sprang to his fifthwheel, to his team he did shout,
And away they all flew like that awning ripped out.
But, I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight,
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good-night!

Yipppeeee!!! We will be at the Fort from the 20th thru the 28th. My husband keeps rolling his eyes at me. Then yesterday at Wal-Mart I saw him eyeing the blow up Christmas Mickey's and trying to figure out if we could pack them in our luggage

 

[articfox676]

Best to buy it when you see it they go fast. You could also use it in the future at home. Or better yet your next Fort Christmas trip.

 

[Born 2 Fish]

AND THEN IT'S BLACK FRIDAY !!

A family had twin boys whose only resemblance to each other was their looks. If one felt it was too hot, the other thought it was too cold. If one said the TV was too loud, the other claimed the volume needed to be turned up. Opposite in every way, one was an eternal optimist, the other a doom and gloom pessimist.

Just to see what would happen, on the twins' birthday their father loaded the pessimist's room with every imaginable toy and game. The optimist's room he loaded with horse manure.

That night the father passed by the pessimist's room and found him sitting amid his new gifts crying bitterly.

"Why are you crying?" the father asked.

"Because my friends will be jealous, I'll have to read all these instructions before I can do anything with this stuff, I'll constantly need batteries, and my toys will eventually get broken." answered the pessimist twin.

Passing the optimist twin's room, the father found him dancing for joy in the pile of manure. "What are you so happy about?" he asked.

To which his optimist twin replied, "There's got to be a pony in here somewhere!"

One year we stay'd at the Wilderness Lodge at Christmas,,on Christmas day Santa Claus had put a Candy filled stocking on every room entrance door handle for each child in the rooms.
Just happened that we went to the laundry early that morning, while we were waiting for the clothes to finish, the custodian walked into the room and informed our son that Santa packed too many Candy filled stockings and said to give them to our son when he came in to do laundry,,
can't remember how many stockings there were, I think about a doz..

MERRY CHRISTMAS YA'LL ,,,!!!

Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground opened on November 19, 1971.
In 1971 guests had their choice of 232 campsites, two "comfort stations" and an assortment of themed activities and experiences. There were 40 cast members, in 1973 "The Fort" went though a major expansion as 482 campsites were added, Fort Wilderness now employs approximately 500 cast members who work very hard to make your camping and Holidayz very special. I love the Holidayz at the Fort, who am I kidd'n I love the Fort anytime !
My favorite saying about Ft.Wilderness is,
"Come for a visit and you'll be back for a lifetime."

After all, it's like coming home.

Pocket Taser Stun Gun, a great Christmas gift for the wife.

This was posted on the Dis Boards on June of 08.
It is one of the funniest things I have ever read and some things just need to be re-reposted, so here it is.
Kinda long, read it,,it'll be worth it.


Pocket Taser Stun Gun, a great Christmas gift for the wife.

A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket taser for their anniversary submitted this:

Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest.
The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized taser.
The effects of the taser were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety....??

WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home.
I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing!
I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button AND pressed it against a metal surface at the same time; I'd get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs. AWESOME!!! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Julie what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave.

Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that
it couldn't be all that bad with only two triple-A batteries, right? There
I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little
soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really
needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target. I must
admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and
thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give
this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want
some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong?
So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a t-shirt with my reading glasses
perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand,
and taser in another. The directions said that a one-second burst would
shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed
to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; a three-second
burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a
fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting
the batteries. All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about
5' long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference; pretty cute really and (loaded
with two itsy, bitsy triple-A batteries) thinking to myself, 'no possible way!'
What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best...?
I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side
as to say, 'don't do it stupid,' reasoning that a one second burst from such
a tiny little ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad. I decided to give myself a
one second burst just for heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked
thigh, pushed the button, and . . . HOLY MOTHER OF GOD . . . WEAPONS
OF MASS DESTRUCTION . . .WHAT THE HECK!!!
I'm pretty sure Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door, picked me up
in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over
and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position,
with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, chest on fire, with my left arm tucked under my body in the
oddest position, and tingling in my legs? The cat was making meowing
sounds I had never heard before, clinging to a picture frame hanging above
the fireplace, obviously in an attempt to avoid getting slammed by my body
flopping all over the living room.

Note: If you ever feel compelled to 'mug' yourself with a taser, one note
of caution: there is no such thing as a one second burst when you zap
yourself! You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your
hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor. A three second burst
would be considered conservative?THAT KNOCKED THE FIRE OUT OF ME, THAT HURT
LIKE HECK!!

A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at
that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and
surveyed the landscape. My bent reading glasses were on the
mantel of the fireplace. The recliner was upside down and about
8 feet or so from where it originally was. My triceps, right thigh
and my chest were still twitching. My face felt like it had been
shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs. I had
no control over the drooling.
Apparently I soiled myself, but was too numb to know for sure and
my sense of smell was gone. I saw a faint smoke cloud above my
head which I believe came from my hair.

P. S. My wife loved the gift, and now regularly threatens me with it!
'If you think Education is difficult, try being stupid.'
