Coming to you LIVE from THE FORT

[Magicbus]

Nothing better than knowing that you and the family are having a great time.
I'm stopping by the Fort tomorrow, need anything?
I'll stop and say hi if you're there.

Love your pics! How many miles is it for you to Fort Wilderness and how long are you staying there? I am trying to talk my husband into towing our camper from Pittsburgh. It is 1000 miles. So far it hasn't worked. Your story has inspired me to try again.

We're in OH, just on the other side of Pittsburgh. We take two nights to get to FW. DH and i don't like to push it and when the kids were around, they enjoyed stopping in different states. We try to stay just north of Charlotte and hit that early the next a.m. before rush hour and do the same in Jacksonville. Works out nice. Coming home we'd hit the ones we missed going down (except WV where there are none along 77S). It's really a nice drive. Of course you need to be at FW at least a week or it's not worth all that towing and the cost of FW these days.

I know what you mean about a home cooked meal! I get burned out by eating out all the time! Would love to know what recipes you used.
Enjoying your TR Thanks for sharing! It looks like you all are having Fun!

I'll post my recipes when I get home



This rash kept flaring up every day starting last Saturday. At first we thought it was from his carseat, then we thought it was from the sunscreen, then after avoiding both it still flared up, leaving us wondering what he was allergic to, off to the doctor we went. Turns out it's Solar Dermatitis.

Isaiah and I spent the afternoon at Centracare in Lake Buena Vista. If you have to go to the doctor while at DW, and you have means to get somewhere else, don't go here. We waited over two hours just to get in to see the doctor. Not the clinic's fault, of course - it was just busy. I'd recommend somewhere away from vacation-land that isn't so busy.

Dinner of sloppy joes and beans before heading to the Magic Kingdom.

Thanks for posting -looks like a great time is being had by all!

Hello from North Dakota! I am the guilty party that told your DH that you should check out The DIS! Awesome, isn't it? Bummer that you had to take your DS to the clinic, but I am glad that he is OK. It looks like you guys are having a great time and it is fun to see pictures while your trip is in progress.

Great live trip report, thanks for the photos. By the way, there is wifi (not free) located at the trading post. It is also $10 per day (or maybe more now).

Glad you got through the Centracare facility OK. We had to take our daughter there on a Saturday night one trip. She had been on antibiotics for an ear infection before we left and had to take her last three doses on the travels down. Of course, we lost the Rx in the car on the way down and figured, what the heck, she'll be fine. Of course she flared up with a temp of 104 to 105 while we were in Epcot and the family was split up. I took her and Matt back to the hotel while waiting for Nancy and her parents to meet us. We got to the CentraCare facility at midnight on a Saturday and got a real education on nightlife and the aftermath that they see! All the police took time to spend some attention on our little girl and they made the most of it.

Anyhow, enjoying the posts. Hope you have a great and safe trip back too!

walgreens has a nurse practitioner at 12100 s apopka. We had a visit for strep throat in the fall. We were the only patients.

Awesome TR! It's getting us excited about our trip! So glad your little guy is okay! Can't wait to see more pics!

 

[mumto2]

Thanks for sharing! We are headed down to the cabins in June for a grand gathering! We love FW! Your live TR has me looking forward to our trip even more!

Were you getting the boat to go over to MK about 9:00 Pm last
night? I think it was you that I saw but wasn't sure.

Oh, that was you! We saw your campsite while we were down there and wondered who it was!

BTW-I have heard great things about that campground in St. Augustine. It's on our list of places to visit next year.

 

[Spiers]

Thanks for sharing your trip report and the fantastic photos of your family.

Also noticed the campsite was called Bryn Mawr which stood out to me as it's Welsh. I would love to hear how it's pronounced over there.

Watching Phineas and Ferb before we head to EPCOT

Walking from the 300 loop to the boat launch

The Energy game at Spaceship Earth (ready to kick a$$, but not sure whose a$$ I'm kicking in this game... Energy's? Consumers'? hmmmm)

Love the fountain of all nations

Isaiah's first pin trade!

Yummy

Brats, franc, sauer kraut, apple strudel, and beer. Perfection.

Dinner at Tangierine Cafe

Trying to figure out how this light up pavement works. It's awesome. Eric liked to poke it with his glow sticks.

Watching Wishes from For Wilderness beach

Chip 'n Dale's Campfire Sing-a-Long

Extra Magic Hours at Magic Kingdom (open until 3 am!)

mmmmmm Dole Whip

Part of the castle is fabric - is this permanent or are they doing work under there? Nobody does scaffolding cover like Disney!

Gotta love Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe at Midnight!

Isaiah loves this fountain. We played here for a loooooooong time

Fishin' at the Fort! We all know who this one's for

Checking up on current events while waiting for a bus to Animal Kingdom

Isaiah's first time canoeing. Thank you Fort Wilderness!

Eric and I rode bike around Fort Wilderness while Grant and Isaiah went canoeing. I saw this cute little camper at a tent site, and I had to get a picture. It's a little cabin thing on a trailer, and it even has an air conditioner! Too cool!

I snagged a good sized fish by the tail. I couldn't tell what it was, but I don't know my fish very well. Anyone know what that is? It got loose right after this photo, so this is the best look I got of it.

Playing chase

Finally caught a fish!

Ridemakerz at Downtown Disney (it's like Build-a-Bear Workship but with remote control cars)
