That is scary. My oldest is like that. He's never been afraid of strangers. I think that if someone came up to him and said, "Wanna go for a ride? I have candy!" he would say SURE and get right on in. I've had to put the fear of strangers in to him, somewhat. It's sad that I had to do that but necessary. In school he will just wander away...he doesn't follow the herd. His teachers always have to keep an extra eye out for him.

My DS only has a fear of strangers when we are around. I am on a crusade to get him to stop wandering off, but he always tells me, "Mommy, what are you doing is boring! I don't want to go and do your stuff, I want to find the toys!" I want to ring his neck most times. We are still working on it.

You should only worry about college sports! They don't get paid (much)!
I have never really gotten excited about pro sports. I do like to take in a pro hockey game once in a while, the fights are what keeps me there. Otherwise I would freeze to death. They do keep it under 70 in there you know... Native Floridians don't enjoy cold.

I didn't think you floridians knew what hockey was... LOL I thought it was just a pale northerner thingy....

When you live in Pittsburgh if you aren't into the Steelers and Pens, then you may get strung up by your privates if someone finds out....

Ok, let me change that.....

this is now my FAVORITE Disney travel show of all time. They literally just spent the last two sequences talking about the Fort, about 20 minutes worth. They showed TONS of the Fort, I even got some golf cart action!!!

This is now permanent on my DVR, I can't tell you how much I love seeing them cover the Fort on TV. Of course, now it means that the cabins will probably see a HUGE surge in reservations, but hey, it's not like the Fort has been showing any signs of slowing down recently. Considering all the money Disney is pouring into the Fort right now, I bet they specifically asked them to showcase the Fort (and we all know the cabins are a gold mine for them).

I loved when they showed them renting the boats, although it annoyed the crap out of me when that cute blonde (shh, don't tell my wife ), said "Hey, let's go see the Magic Castle". Magic Castle? Ok

And then, when they showed them in Crockett's Tavern!! I was like, I NEVER thought I would see a show on TV that showed the Tavern or the porch, it was freaking awesome!!

ACtually, the table they are sitting at in the Tavern for their dinner, is the exact same table Beth and I sat at last time we were at the Fort.

EASILY now my new favorite #1 travel show ever, I can't believe I'm seeing so much about the Fort, woohoo!!! Ok it's back on!!

Man I wish I was at the Fort right now!!!!

I did tune in after I saw your post and caught the family eating in Trails End...and the family on the pontoon boats(only they left the price out of that information..just said it was cheaper to rent than where the family lives. As I recall, I don't think it was a dime!...still fun, and I'd do it again )
I didn't get to watch the entire program and hope they show it again soon.
Their little baby was all of 6 months and adorable. It made me remember how we went on our first Disney trip when our youngest was only 6 weeks old..in the middle of August! I don't know what I was thinking..but we've kept going back..and he's 16 now!

Now that just seems wrong..on so many levels. But..we'll keep your secret!

My husband is a NJ Devils fan(son's too). No Islanders for us..hope no one strings them up. My dad is a Ranger fan from WAY back..before there were any Islanders.
I'm a fan of them going to games and leaving me home with some peace and quiet!...and the Dis!

Hmm, that sounds strangely familiar to when you venture into AL. They instantly ask you who you root for, Auburn or Bama. They then decide if they are going to talk to you. They have hockey down in Ft. Lauderdale with the Florida Panthers. I have gone and seen them 2 or 3 times.

Ok, I know Colson was on Percoset when he wrote all those wonderful things about the show last night, but I decided not to take Percoset when I watched it this morning. Each of those vacations were no less than $1599. I do understand that most people on this forum are Disney "spoiled" and know more than the average "Let's go and see the Magic Castle!" person, but come on! Those three packages they showed were no bargain at all. I guess it was just a Disney push, but geesh! No, they didn't have RV's and such and used the cabins, but the cabins are really no bargain at all unless you can put the appropriate amount of people in them. They even mentioned that they had plenty of room to spare. I got a HUGE chuckle out of them going on and on about how they went down to the trading posts and got their food and saved all kinds of money. Did they forget what regular groceries cost!

Ok, I know I am playing the cynic and ruining the "Disney Magic/Pixie Dust, etc." here, but I just don't think it portrayed the correct verstion of FW on a dime. There were many, many dimes in that package. As mentioned by auntie, they never mentioned how much it cost to rent the pontoon to go and see the Magic Castle, golf cart rental, the admission to Circ, (which I don't remember them doing), or DisneyQuest. They left all that out, which was a big jump in their overall cost. I just thought it was a bit misleading, but I know why Disney did it. My parents have always loved staying in the cabins, even since I was very young. They have always been hooked on them. They will only book cabins when they come up at the same time as us, with just the two of them. They NEVER have a problem getting a reservation. Maybe they are trying to up their occupancy of that particular segment of their rooms. Dunno, but I think people will get sticker shock when they actually see what the bottom line comes out to with the cabins and a smaller family. Don't get me wrong, for extended families, larger families, or multiple families, the cabins are a bargain. However, that wasn't the focus of the segment, now was it!?
