Just got back today. We arrived at 1:05pm with onle one van ahead of us at the check in line. I did the online check in and it took all of 4 min. ( took longer because she had to go across to another booth to get print outs).
We got the loop 800 that we requested and I actually got a better site for our new 5'er than I had requested.

Made a note of that site number for future requests.

I don't think anyone should worry to much about the decorations, I saw at least 4 sites that had a very elaborate display that in no possible way could have fit within their site boundaries. And Thank goodness...I say phewy on those rules anyway.
It seemed like to me that at this point the 1600-and 1800 loopers over the weekend won for most participation as far as decorating their sites went (in my opionion). I even got to see LornaDuck's site, but nobody was there as I looped by on my bike.
I was very dissapointed in my loop 800 group, only a couple of people even made an effort, but I am hoping as most people checked out today that more loop 800er's will check in and dig out some Christmas stuff. For goodness sakes, we need to add to the atomsphere for the carriage ride folks who on Staurday looped through at least three different times.
I was only there for two nights, but even I brought to Mickey blow ups and a handful of Mickey lighted decorations.
Ya'll should have a great time at the Fort, the decorations that were already there were really good.
The biggest display's of holiday decorations when I was there this weekend could be found at loop 1100, Loop 1600, Loop 700 and loop 400. Most of them seem like folks I have seen before there, but I didn't remember the display on the loop 400 which was a set up as a small walk through just off the sidewalk from the main road and even computerized to music. Could be that they were there last year, but I went on the Disney Wonder instead for the holidays last year.
Anyway, lots of great T-shirts, car magnet and even a flimsy license plate cover ($7.95, I couldn't resist) for Fort Merchandise. I was disspaointed that no new Christmas ornaments were out though for the Fort. So, if anyone sees one let me know.
Have fun at the Fort...you can beat the holidays at Disney.

May all your wishes come true!
PS
I took pictures of the Fort Merchandise, but I need to figure out how to post them.
