OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have me cracking up, I am practically in tears!!!!
After today I truly needed some laughter. Hahahahahahahaha

I thought the Halloween party was supposed to be not so scary. That Pocahontas was very, very scary.

WOW! No wonder John Smith went back to England.

I don't really have a secret. My point is that the guards at the Fort are not the most vigilant, but just so no one gets the wrong idea, almost all of my visits are as a registered guest, or as the visitor of a registered guest. I do not print fake parking passes or do anything else illegal.

TCD

On July 4th weekend, we were staying at All-Stars, and needed to drop off some larger stuff at Gatordads site for the parties. So when we arrived, we told them the name and the site #. He winked and said "That's fine, but I really need to tell you that you need to park in that big lot over there and take a bus back to the site". We ultimately did that, but detoured by his site to drop off the stuff we brought. Then the next day as we were leaving, we did the same thing cause we had to pick up said stuff. We got the same security guard and he gave us the same quote.

Nothing like a TCD update. I just want to say thank you for all the time you put into letting us all know whats going on.

 

[Dizney_Luver]

Thanks for the updates as always!

So glad to see the changes to the Giddy-up and Go, we always asked for mashed potatoes instead of the fries and they always said no substitutions allowed.

Once I even told them to keep the coleslaw (didn't ask for any substitution, just didn't want it) and they said they have to give to us because it's part of the meal, I said ok but I am going to throw it in the trashcan, they still gave it to me!

My family will be very happy with the giddy up a go changes. We get that meal at least two times a trip.. Last time my DH beg the CM to please sell him some corn bread. Of corse it was not for sale but the sweet cm slipped him a couple on the side...

 

[Pirate-Jeff]

Thanks for sharing. Now I'm going to have NIGHTMARES for a week.

Did your daughter realize you were not taking a picture of her ?

Thanks for the update.

O.K. - I'm going to try and give 'golddigger' the benefit of the doubt here.
Is it possible that that was a bathing suit? The top (bra part) looks like it might be the same design as the bottoms.

Of course, it could be matching underwear.

Regardless, I agree it is a sight to behold!

I haven't laughed that hard in a long time...

I meant no offense here and was not accusing TCD of any illegality. I guess I had always been naive in thinking security was tighter than what it appears to be. Of course that is what most security systems are: window dressing. Like TCD, I know from experience you can go just about anywhere at anytime if you have the right attitude and look like you belong there. If you look afraid or guilty someone will pick up on that and chase you away. Most times Disney CMs or any other organization's representatives will try not to inconvenience or offend guests by detaining them and checking out their documentation. Except of course the airports where they seem to take pleasure in making you jump through hoops.

No worries, I took no offense.

And since I have so many methods of entering the Fort, I'll share two that I have used a lot and probably will not be using again for a while:

1. You have seen my Obama mask, right? This one:

If you get yourself an Obama mask, and drive up to the gate, they usually will waive you right through. If not, you can just demand the guard's badge number. Usually, he will waive you through. If using this method, it also helps if you have a black Suburban with tinted windows, and a driver to act as your accomplice.

2. Take a plain piece of paper, and write "Fort Wilderness Parking Pass" on it with a crayon. Then fold up the paper with a $5 bill in it. When the guard asks for your parking pass, hand him the paper, and say: "it's right here my good man." When they open up the paper and see Abe Lincoln staring right at them, they will usually give you a wink, and send your right on through.

Now thats funny right there!

I used to have an Eisner mask to get me into places. Unfortunately my tummy gave me away as an imposter.

Maybe if I can dress up the rig with a Rudolf head on the grille and pretend to be Santa delivering to the good little boys and girls the CM might wave me through

Note to self.... keep crayons in glove box.

Wow - I stepped away from the camping board for a day or so and almost missed everything! Great report, as always! Here's hoping there's more to come...

Good one, Dave!

So that's two of you happy about the change. And so am I. That makes three. No one in my family really cared for the coleslaw either, but I would always eat it because it was included. It is nice to have a choice. It's amazing how a little change like this can make me happy.

Did your daughter realize you were not taking a picture of her ?

Maybe I will get flamed for this, but yes, my daughter knew. In fact, she is the one who pointed out Pocahontas to me. I know that it is wrong, and Mrs. TCD always fusses at me for this type of juvenile behavior and for being a bad example to the kids, but I like to snap photos of fashion disasters. I have some sweet ones too. But, then there's always those that get away. Like the lady we saw earlier in the day squeezed into Lycra shorts at Animal Kingdom. Camel Toe for days (is that OK to say on here?) from the front, and two pigs wrestling in a sack from the back. But I did not have my camera ready.

O.K. - I'm going to try and give 'golddigger' the benefit of the doubt here.

Perhaps you are right. I do not know the ways of the Golddigger. When I stop to think about it, I am still amazed. Is this lady really a Golddigger? What benefit did she think she would gain by advertising that on her rear? I don't' get it. But, then, I don't own any cheetah underpants. Zebra, yes. Snake skin, yes. Cheetah, no.

Now thats funny right there!

Now you are thinking! That ruse would work perfectly. Do you really have an Eisner mask? I want one!

Actually, I don't have any more Fort stuff, because we were there just briefly. But, I have not told the beginning of the story. Like what we were doing at WDW on a Tuesday to begin with. Since there are so many reading along, I will go ahead and share the story of the rest of our day. . .

TCD, you are amazing!!!! I love reading your reports. If you ever find yourself near the Albertson's at Largo Mall stop in the liquor store and see me. I feel like I should buy you a bottle to pay you for all your insight and info concerning the Fort.

Regular crayons will melt. Get the twistables. They can withstand a higher heat. LOL

 

[Pirate-Jeff]

Thanks TCD

Now I'm going to carry my camera everywhere at WDW this trip

I have seen some strange things over the years.

Here is the best of last year, Well except the college girls with the should be only worn in the "bed room" costumes. That my Wife made me erase and checked twice to make sure I did.
