November 2015 Ft Wilderness Meet & Greet

[veraletta]

Booked November 18th - November 28th... Plan on seeing Grandson High School band playing at Epcot... Looking forward to seeing Osborne lights for the last time.. I'm going to miss watching the lights for Christmas time, it's one of the reason I love being at Disney World for the Holiday. I'm not going to decorate my site this year as we all got letters about having the lights off by 10 pm.. I'm to afraid of not getting back in time to turn them off.

Veraletta,
I never received any such letter and mine were on past 10 pm on the nights we were in the parks. If anything, I would suggest using timers on your lights. They are cheap and easy to use.

I would not let the letters dissuade you from bringing decorations.

Thank you!! I'm so excited for our camping trip! I am making my checklists now and have already painted our magic bands like I usually do!

I am sooooo ready to leave! We had our last trip out this past weekend so I got the camper thoroughly cleaned and emptied of everything we won't need in Disney. Then I started packing. Got the carseats in place on the couch with pillows, blankets, lots of snacks, activity books, and new soft plush dolls that they haven't seen before.



And we have a few stowaways along for the ride.....

Ruthies12,
That organization with the seats and everything is something my wife would pull. I can't stand that much order, but she starts twitching when something looks out if place.

You're almost there, but I don't see any squirrel feed...

 

[ruthies12]

Tiggerdad,
Yeah my DH walked into the camper and started laughing. I like to be super organized!

DH took care of filling the propane and the engine gas last weekend. He has it scheduled to go in for an oil change next Thursday so we can get the tire pressure and lights checked out. I'll be adding the squirrel feed soon!

 

[tiggerdad]

I'll be adding the squirrel feed soon!

OK, I'm good...

Weeks from today and we will be checking in! Can't wait. Hope the weather is cooler, still in the high 80's and humid here in central Fl.

Guess I got busy and forgot to post on here. We drove all night. Took a short nap in Ocala. Then drove on into the Fort. Arrived and checked in at 730. Much to my surprise my site was ready and what we had requested. We're in 724. Took another nap and went to get our cart from Kenny. My son drove down from Gainesville to spend the evening with us. We shared a toast to my retirement with some very rare Jack Daniels. Halloween was off the hook. We gave out all our candy by 830 and went looping. Colleen's haunted house was awesome. We went to Animal Kingdom yesterday. Heading to the Magic Kingdom today. Pictures to follow.

Checking in next Thursday, really hoping the temp drops below 90! Started my packing list today and instead of a light jacket, I added a fan and swimsuit.

Just booked a golf cart today for most of the trip through Tee Time. Booked it Sun to Sun as that will work better for us. Now to hope my cousin or her daughter can drive me to meet them so I can save the cab fare.

What is your ETA on the 15th? We also are picking up from TT on that day so, if the time works, maybe you can hitch a ride with us to get your cart?

Kenny's trailer actually holds two carts at a time.

Oh, we won't be picking up until noon-ish. Keep us in mind if you hit a snafu.
