Well here goes on our FIRST EVER trip report as this was our 1st stay at FW. Been to DW several times a few different ways, but have to say staying at a campsite with our new TT was a whole new experience.

Still trying to figure out how to get it all in here as well as some good pix we got. Will try to include the good, bad and the ugly....unfortunately, for us, we had ugly....read on, you'll see :sad2:

That said, on the whole, think this was our BEST TRIP ever. Halloween was awesome. Had no idea people went so "all out" with decorating their sites, and the golf cart parade, was a hoot...the kids had a ball, and again, you could see that some people really put a lot of effort into it.

So, we left on Thur, 10/28 around midnight from southern NJ...wanted to beat the Baltimore/DC/VA traffic. Did fine with that, stopped @ 7 a.m. somewhere in SC, I think, for breakfast and drove the rest of the day. Stopped in Savannah, GA @ 5 ish for the night at a very clean and hospitable KOA. Friday drove another few hours and we were waiting in line at the Fort by 1:45 for our packet.

Will continue after I read up on HOW to post pix !!!!!
 

.....somebody help....HOW do I post pix!! been searching...nada...or Im just looking in all the wrong places :confused:
 
...while Im waiting for some gracious soul to point me in the right direction...here's some more tidbits...

We waited in line about 15 minutes, pulled up to drive-thru window (lol,lol) and got out packet fast since had done the ONLINE check-in. We had requested pet loop, 900, somewhere between 925-931...and got exactly what we wanted - Site #929 was ours, with Mom and Rog, in 931 right next door.

We really liked the location..close to the CS, but not too close. Also, right across from the Meadows store, pool, bike barn, campfire/movie....would take this loop again in a heartbeat,,,,very centrally located, smack in the middle of the marina at the back and checkin at the front.

Unloaded bodies from truck, and got started decorating for Halloween with some festive colors we had brought 1000 miles from home !!!

We spent the rest of Friday setting up and checking out everythin that was nearby.
 
Here goes...

This is us arriving to DW !

Nice pictures. Is that a real candle in the pumpkin on the propane tanks cover?
 
Since I'm on a roll, here are pix of the golf cart contest Saturday night...Shrek, Mickey and Minnie, and 'Jason' and his scary gang. The last photo is part of a project that our 16yo DD had to do for her Spanish class,,,we had to "host" Mr. Pablo during our trip !

Saturday, BEFORE the golf cart escapades, we spent the day in MK, while my Mom and Rog went to Animal Kingdom. This was our first time at DW during this time of year and they really had it nice and fall festive in true Disney style.

We had a great time at MK, the lines weren't too bad, nothing like in the Spring time, and we did all the classics too. Around 2 I took the girls back to the castle for Bibidi Bobidi,,,yes it was a one time treat (!), while the boys raced to Space Mountain for fast passes when we were finished.
