Well, I've been gone for a while, but here is a dusty one from a few years ago.

Glad to have you back, buddy!

Tony! Glad to see your posts man. Your pics helped convince me to come to the Fort for the first time last year. Funny, I was just wondering the other night where you were. Good to hear from ya.

We have missed ya. Welcome back!

Yeah I am still alive and kickin'! Life has kept me busy doing lots of good things, but non FW and DIS related.

We cancelled our plans to attend the Carolwood Pacific Historical Society, Un-meeting this year. However we are going for a day trip tomorrow that will be spent between WL, FW and MK.

Great to see this thread is still alive. Nice to see so many of the 'old timers' and new ones too, sharing some wonderful photos!

Glad to see you back Tony! Life does that from time to time, look forward to seeing some other photos from you soon. I found a bunch I took on a flash card and thought about this thread the other day!

Tony !! How awesome it is to see you !
As you know, I'm a man of few words rotfl2 but I'd like to say that we have sure missed you and your beautiful captions. I am not a good photographer and the views from your camera make the most excellent memories from our trips .

I've been going to Disney World since I was a kid..and me, Mom and Dad camped there back in the 70's, in a "slide-on" truck camper. Now if I were to step back in that same camper, it would seem like a "cracker box"! But I had the best time at Fort Wilderness. Just a few months ago, back in May, we were staying off-site, and one day, while the ladies went shopping, I drove to Fort Wilderness and went exploring. (I usually do this on almost every Disney World trip) It brought back some great memories of the Railroad days at the fort. When I took the picture below, back in 2011. I was walking down the old railroad bed back through the woods, when I came upon a dad and his little girl. Turns out, he was doing the same thing I was doing, tracing the old tracks of the railroad. We talked a few minutes about the FWRR, and then went on our way, back to exploring.

Loved that Railroad, found my old ticket the other day to ride it. Thanks for sharing!

I spent part of Saturday afternoon visiting the Fort. I am sorry to report that the wagons didn't all make it. It appears that there was an attack, at the Settlement. Wagon took a beatin'..............

Disregard my previous attempt at humor (wagon train attacked).

I see that Mickey has had a wardrobe change down at the Meadow Trading Post.
This is how he has been dressed for many years. Farmer Mickey was 'OK', but not really what The Fort is all about.......IMHO.

Here he is now. A CM told me he got the Wilderness Mickey outfit in the last few months.

I was in FL for business a while back and spent a couple days at WDW. Went to The Fort and captured some images I've always wanted to get but couldn't (the family wanted to go to the parks, of all things).

Here's one of the beach around sunset:

Thanx.

Early morning

Have you seen these 2 in their CM outfits? I hear that when the morning crew comes in to open the Meadow Trading Post, they never know where they will turn up.

Now that is funny, would be a great item for them to sale at the Fort!
