Let's see if this works:

I know what you mean about gas prices. We pull a hybrid with a full size van and get just over 10mpg. OUCH!!! Our next trip will cost us about $540 in gas if it is still $3/gal. I am tempted to buy a tent again! But we seriously would not be as comfortable.

Ha! This post was from fourteen months ago, when we were all worried gas would stay aroundd $3 per gallon. I paid over $70 to fill up my minivan yesterday. Yay 2008! (that was sarcasm)

Site 1009

Here are pics of site 1208 from our July 2008 trip. We stayed in this site 11 nights.

loop number: 1200
site number: 1208
type/size of rig/tent: 5th wheel toyhauler, 39' 7"
ease of backing into site: Pretty easy as it was on the outside of the loop.
addt'l info about site: Site was very roomy. Even after we were parked, we still had room to lower the ramp on the back of the toyhauler to unload/load the golf cart. There was room for the awning, we just didn't put it out. Our trailer is a triple slide (model 3712ts) and we had more than enough room for everything. This site is a full hookup site without cable. I would gladly request this site again. This site is near the first main intersection. Our trailer has good insulation so traffic noise was not an issue. I would expect the traffic may be a little annoying for those in tents or tent trailers. The site is also only about 100 yards from two different bus stops so traveling was super easy. This site was on the "higher" side of the campground nearer the outpost. I noticed that sites nearer the settlement (yellow bus loop) were often on swampy ground.

Please pardon the foggy pictures. The camera was suffering from morning condensation.

Yes, that was my comment. And now, at almost $4 a gallon, we are buying a tent. We will be staying in a tent on our trip in March unless gas comes down to below $3 a gallon.

OK, think I think I now know how to post pics, I will finally try to post pics from my trip in Feb 2008.

I hope I am not posting too many.

I know it took me forever to get them up, but better late than never right???

Great photos!!!! Love seeing the campsites.

We have that Mickey checkers set, but have never used it. Time for my grandson and me to break it in.

has anyone seen any of the new wider site at the campgrounds. We are going there in Nov. and we are supposed to have one of the new ones.

We're on our way back from 9 days at the Fort (first wifi connection in 2 weeks) and noticed that they had one section completely vacant and were making major changes as we left. Started Monday, ripped up many of the landscaping timbers around the sand pads, chipped a lot of branches, lots of utility work going on. Looks like upgrading electrical (excavating near some of the transformers). I have some photos that I will post when I get a chance (probably at home in a couple of days.

There were other DIS'ers there but we never connected with any (that I know of) as we were pretty busy with 4 kids and trying to get a lot done. Love the Fort, but noticed the crowds were more than I expected for mid - August.

Glad to hear this. Seems like we have had electrical problems with every campsite we have occupied in the nine times we have stayed at the Fort. Everything from brown outs to power surges to insufficient voltage to total lack of power at the golf cart outlet at the street side post.

It's gonna be a gut-check the first time I fill up to the tune of $340 , and the second time, on our next Disney trip. Last year a round trip from Raleigh cost us about $450 in gas, this year it should be about $620. But hey, $170 is not a crisis; it's a nice dinner and a souvenir shirt. Certainly not a cause to wave-off the vacation. I think that helps put it in perspective, for me anyhow.

We had requested the 1400 loop in order to be close to the pool, campfire and movie, but were put in site 401. They said it was because some guy with a Class A towing a "Doom Buggy" golf cart got there before us ;-) Anyhow, site 401 had great access to the Pioneer Hall area and the marina, so we weren't complaining. Well we were, just about how hot and crowded it was, but not the site. This was the location:

Here are some shots (never got close enough to show the AC in the tent we set up for the teenagers).

Can you upload pics from your computer? I only see a link to post a url.

 

[Cockburn Family]

Great Idea...How about some photo's of the new pool and sites!! Ill try to post a picture of our March 2008 site if I can figure it out.

Dan,

I saw your campsite when we were there 8/7-8/14. I thought the tent inside the screen room was brilliant. A lot smarter than just putting up a tarp. Keeps it dry and keeps the bugs out.

We were on site 920.
