Thank you for the welcome !
We are Locals and are planning a Day in MK - then typhoon laggon and relaxing and exploring the campground and enjoying what it has to offer
Our older daughter has lost some her "thrill" in Disney Parks ( oh the horror)- so a good comprimise is to make sure there is a definete balence between parks and down time.
We made the leap into tent camping this past spring with a trip to Lion Country Safari after my daughter said "anything BUT Disney" and finding out all the cabins were booked...so went crazy and said " why not tent camp?"
I had been to LCS as a child so often and I loved it. I was sooo nervous about if my family would like it - if it was still everything in my memory - if my husband and kids would like tent camping. The trip went GREAT and everyone loved it. So much so its on the agenda for 2010
As well as a camping trip to Fort DeSoto.
We've been trying to save for a nice PoRiverside stay when I thought... OMG Why not camp at Disney !! (

what took me so long to figure that out

)
Its great considering we have a basic start to gear ( omg some of the pics of your sites are amazing

) and the camp site is a great price to try out disney camping. I am sure we will all love it.
I am finding instead of a 'big trip" to plan and save for - Camping just opens SOOO many doors for us to enjoy time as a family. Local trips and time together - no 100+ per night hotel rooms or a large budget for food or tickets. We can just go camping and have some fun without breaking the bank. With the tent and basics paid for - it comes down to site cost and gas and packing some food!!
I LOVE the possiblities and fun camping gives us - what even better - is how much my family is now in love with it as well. 1 camp trip and we're all hooked and looking forward to a new year of camping and exploring
Now my problem is I am debating on wether to book a " pre " camp trip for May - I am so excited I keep coming with reason on why this would be a great idea.
"we could get the "lay of the land" so to speak - so on the Nov trip ...we know where stuff is
" we could get all the kinks worked out..see what we need and don't need for the nov trip"
"It's May...who doesnt like a nice camping trip in May??"
