Hi everyone. We just got back from DHS. It didn't start raining until about 6. We never did loose power. My cousin called to tell us hers was out, and that there were tornado watches. But we did everything we wanted except fantasmic. We payed $75 to eat at hollywood and vine, to do the dine and dash, but it got rained out (we won't eat there again) We did everything except TT & RRC. We had a little one with us, and dw and I aren't big thrill ride fans.
Park attendance wasn't that bad, little more than we are used to in the fall, but we didn't wait for anything!!
I broke down and got an ecv, OMG why didn't I do that before????? I feel amazing, I am not punching my legs in pain, and almost in tears!!!! I was worried that people would look at me like I was just lazy and fat LOL. But it was fine. But I have to say, when I walk, I am 6'8" and people get out of my way, and I can see over everyone. In the ecv, people just walk right in front of you, and you know those dumb thing don't have brakes!!
We got soaked leaving, and the gc ride from the outpost to the site was a might chilly. We aren't complaining about the site, we have a cart, so I can just ride it to CS.
We are sitting here listening to it rain and drink hot chocolate.
Even a wet rainy cold day at the fort is still fun. And I talked to home and they are expecting more snow!!
Talk to "yins" soon.
John
PS Tomorrow is boardwalk and dtd.
we will go play tomorrow if it isn't "snowing". I guess we can fill the mug up with hot chocolate tomorrow.
I was testing at a power plant in Jacksonville today. We're on the grid down here. I knew that big wire I unplugged probably wasn't a good idea
Here is a story from local news. But the real story is in the first reader comment.
You and I are very similar..I didnt go till I was 13(Im 39 now)and Epcot had JUST opened....didnt go back till I had my first 2 daughters...now I cant stop going, the older I get, the more I love it, but these days...its not just the parks....Im quickly learning that Disney has soooo much more to offer than thrills. Ive found a new sanctuary in Ft Wilderness.[/QUO
That's awesome Rog!! Whoever said Disney is for kids, has probably never been!! We are tenatively planning to go again in 2 years...right before my daugher hits that 10 year mark and her prices will sky-rocket!Just told my hubby last night that the next time we go down to camp I want to stay at FW for 9 days, and do other things besides the parks...although we will do some of those as well. This trip we are only there for 5 days and will only have 1 day at the campground to explore...and part of that day will be taken up horseback riding with my daughter. I'm getting soooooo excited!!
love it, so I have told that stubborn old man that I won't make 
reservations again until he gets another new knee. Wish us luck we will be pulling for you too.
