Sorry this recap is a bit late - we got back home the 6th, spent the next few days unpacking, doing laundry, dealing with the time change, and since then have been aggressively washing hands!!! And then I saw the news today that the World is shutting down through the end of March and thought no time like the present to relive our vacation.
Staying at the Ft was great - perfect for our 3 year old. She loved the play grounds, the pool, and getting to ride a real pony! Staying in the 100 loop was ideal for a toddler. The playground, settlement, and boat to MK were a 3 min walk or golf cart ride away. We could actually see the MK fireworks at night too albeit with a few trees in the way. The view from the marina was even better and it was great to wheel the kids down in their jammies, watch the show, and then head right into bed without having to face the crush if people leaving MK after.
Cruising around in a golf cart was ok - but my anxiety went through the roof every bump and turn as I always had our 3 month old strapped to me in the baby carrier. Also our 3 year old kept accidentally kicking it into neutral so that kept us on our toes.
We could certainly hear the music that played from the Settlement - and that was a mixed blessing. At first I thought how fun, but then I was worried it would keep the kids from sleeping becuase I forgot the sound machine at home. And then by day 5 I thought it would be nice to hear something other than a fiddle while trying to drift off to sleep. And then it sort of turned into a tinnitus type situation for me where I heard it playing while trying to drift off to sleep at home
. Im sorry I totally forgot to take pictures of the cabin itself - but the views posted on YouTube etc are pretty on point. All in all a great trip and we will certainly be back to the Ft in the future.
