All I can say is WOW! I didn't even think about getting onto the boards for the last 2 weeks, as it was a constant flurry of activity, but we could not have dreamed of a better trip. We have been to WDW 1-2 times a year over the last 10 years and were utterly taken by the experience of camping while we were there! The serenity of the campground (even at such a particularly busy time) was such a remarkable contrast to the bustling parks that enabled us to more fully enjoy the nature of each. Simple memories such as sitting on the deck behind the Meadow Trading post eating Mickey ice cream bars will last a LONG time!
We went into this trip with every assumption that this would be the one time we would make it the 1,300 miles down to FW with our camper and the kids. Now...not so much! It will be a few years, but plans are already in the works for an AP year with three separate visits (late summer, December and spring) with the trailer stored somewhere in FL between visits (I'll be back looking for your insights on that when it comes). Well before we left we (and the kids) were fully convinced that there was simply no way this could be a one-time thing.
As Ed said in an earlier post, I thank him, and all of you who shared insights, on the time you gave in helping us pull together a landmark first experience that could not have been better! It will be 2 years and 9 months before I get the camper down to the Fort again, but I will continue to try to be a regular on the boards to share with others what you all have shared with us!
