the MOST USEFUL ITEM....you bring to the FORT?????

[SPINNER]

WONDERING... WHAT you seem to use the most during your stay...
aside from the obvious like food, water, BUG SPRAY..., and, of course a nice bottle of wine....................................................
for me (us) I would say my bikes and a good pair of sneakers....
we do stay a few weeks, and the bikes are an important part of our day for fun, for exercise and to get places easily and simply....
we go to the Lodge gym every day with our bikes and just about every other place in the fort...all trails have been explored...
has anyone gone off property biking? thinking, of this January taking a trip to Goodings OR about there....
and SNEAKERS...they are the secret of life...(especially at Disneyworld..
you can't wear them and not MOVE....UNLESS, of course, you get run over by a golf cart hot rod kid......
ah..its enough to be on your way, nuff to be moving on...JT HOURGLASS CD.

We like to ride bikes too...........But most of all we use our wagon. We use it to get ice, to transport laundry to mat, and of corse to transport the smaller children in our party.

I think you nailed it. Besides a good attitude and our camper we get the most use out of a great pair of shoes and our bikes. Also, your bikes should really have head and tail lights if you plan on ridding after sunset. Most of the lighting at FW is very subdued which I like but requires lights on your bike for safety. If you have kids without cell phones the family radios are very useful for peace of mind as well.

I would have to say the most useful item is our Fifth wheel! .

Really the most useful item would be our reclining lawn chairs. We love to people watch.
For the kids the bikes are definitely the most useful item. Swimsuits are a valuable item also.

For my family it's a t.v. (or 3 to be exact ). I've gotta watch those Disney vacation channels over and over.

I agree with you guys on the bikes and chairs. Gotta have them too!

We like to have a fan which provides white noise for a good night's sleep (helps drown out the sound of the busses or noisey neighbors) and/or to circulate the air inside our pop-up.

Not essential, but something we took for the first time this year... a George Forman grill!!! We made hot dogs on it with little or no fuss/mess (just plug it in, grill and then wipe down). Also good for burgers, chicken, etc.

I also just purchased a blender for the camper so I can enjoy blended drinks at a fraction of the cost charged at the lounges ($7+ each). They have so many good mixes out now with and without alcohol ... all you do is blend it with ice and enjoy!!

Note: We just purchased a larger pop-up so now have room for a few extras from previous years!!!
