Who is ready for a trip report?

[WeLovePluto]

Oh good. I actually got a SunPass a couple weeks ago. I haven’t added the trailer to it yet, because apparently I should put the license plate number somewhere more handy than on the trailer half an hour away.

Also, your pictures are making our 19 days feel longer

Hello...pretty new to this area of the boards. Following along as we were supposed to arrive this week for a two week stay but postponed until next Feb due to Covid...

Ran this morning at 7. It was pretty quiet.

My office with secretary.



My view

 

[garneska]

Apparently there is no firewood to be found within 20 miles of the Fort. We may be driving to Lakeland to get firewood.

 

[WeLovePluto]

Should have brought some of that good, out-of-state fire wood

So excited to see Mallory looking good. Also y'all get 2 weeks at the Fort. Love your pictures. Have some fun for me. Our Grandkids took the boat from MK to the Fort a few wks.ago & surprised me with face time. They wanted me to see what was going on. Made by day!

 

[garneska]

On Mallory’s evening walk we headed to the trading post to see if Disney had firewood. They did. I paid double the Publix price but worth it to not drive 2 hours to get firewood. Got two bags and going back to Publix on Friday for weekend groceries and maybe firewood.

Now watching happily ever after on tv.

Kris Consider LOWES and Home Depot for firewood as well

 

[garneska]

I have been staring at 8 empty sites and they just put someone in right next to me blocking my office view

 

[PaHunter]

So did you walk down to catch the Electric Water Parade ? Or have they stopped it again.

 

[garneska]

@PaHunter it is going on still. We have not walked down and surprisingly have not heard it in the 2100 loop. I really thought we would hear it but i have been awake and nothing. Now i am used to being up in 700, 400, or 500 and i always heard it up there.

Oh and new problem (which is no big deal) our match light charcoal is not lighting. Probably have leftovers tonight and grill the chicken and asparagus tomorrow. So far we are having a problem with fire

We may have to call an emergency committee meeting and ask for Bert's Man Card back.

Going oh-fer on fire attempts is completely unacceptable.

Well you are quite far, so did not figure you would hear it there.

Sounds like match light charcoal has absorbed too much humidity. Should never have a problem with fire.

 

[garneska]

@PaHunter we conquer on the humidity. Will buy some lighter fluid at the meadow so we can use it tomorrow. Both of us had busy work days today. Tomorrow is not much better but I am off on Friday.

hoping to score a Gideon’s cookie on Friday.

I'm very interested to hear how the Gideon's cookies and other items are, and the value for dollars spent. Also interested in Everglazed Donuts, if you happen to pass by there.

 

[bama_ed]

I forgot to add that it's a shame, with all those empty sites around you, that someone had to be put in the spot that is your office view.

Maybe they won't be staying long.

Ed

 

[friendofeeyore]

Don't understand why they did that. We are suppose to be distance from people. Maybe that is their site on each trip?

 

[jbrostek]

I never understand how Disney assign spots. Though I could use a week in FW....

 

[garneska]

@proudmomof4 hoping to try both Gideon’s and everglaze will let you know what I think. Will get a pic tomorrow of my now obstructed view. They stay till Monday.

Have lots to post tomorrow but I might have the best kicking it at the fort pic. You will get it here and the other thread.

but I might have the best kicking it at the fort pic.

I think that one is about 1000 points
