Reminder.... the subject is camping etiquette.
team bradfield, I'm glad y'all are okay.
Do you have a fifth wheel/TT? If so, was your tow vehicle gone while it happened?
I was telling my dh about what happened when you had originally posted. He and I wondered if there aren't opportunistic criminals that prey on the campground and scout for campers that are in the parks. We were discussing how much we get in our truck and leave our campsite while camping in our home state. It's very obvious we're gone. We were trying to figure out ways to prevent it.
Wondering if people make their way into the Fort with "we're going to eat" or "we're going to the campfire" and then set out to simply steal bikes and ride them out or take whatever they can from those that are enjoying the parks. I think the fact that it's Disney gives people a false sense of security, and I'm sure thieves prey on that.
Also, did you tell us you didn't make a police report? I can't recall if you did or not. It does make me wonder if this isn't common, but if there is no police report then "it didn't happen."
Great list. I will just add a few.
Bikes: If you will be riding at night, please make sure to have lights.
I saw a lot of people riding bikes after dark with zero lights on. Thats living dangerously in my book. No matter how diligent a driver is theres a lot going on at the Fort. Most places are lit to some degree but not all.
I watched the worst father today. He told his son to stand outside Trails End and I watched him go in the take out door, go to the buffet, fill his pockets with stolen food and walk out, smiling and telling his son it was ok. What is this world coming to.Tallis, I agree. I've never thought the sounds of children playing at campgrounds could be considered "rude." I enjoy hearing kids play outside (during the day); it's usually happy sounds. It is seldom a volume that is bothersome.
I have heard of people experiencing children throwing balls against their campers, or up and screaming & running feral late at night, or running through others' campsites. THAT is rude.
Just playing around the loop, even in the morning, is normal and healthy.
That's horrible. Unfortunately, that behavior is getting more and more common.I watched the worst father today.

We witnessed similar behaviour in Crockett's Tavern. Male adults sitting at the far end of the bar enjoying their drinks, wives and numerous children behind them on chairs and the floor, and the women went to the buffett and brought back enough food to feed everyone in their group. The bartender was flabbergasted but didn't say anything I guess because they were buying drinks. We shouldn't "assume" but there were plenty of open tables for them to occupy if they were interested in dining as a family. Really is sad to see this type of behaviour at the Fort.I watched the worst father today.

I think Disney should have a "camping etiquette class" and I should teach it. Subjects could include, bringing enough cold beverages for everyone, Hot dogs and their importance in camping, napping 101, napping 102, napping 103, no cutting through others sites, pick up any poo that you are responsible for creating. Just a few ideas for classes. I think we could even come up with special t-shirts. Who's with me ?
