Well , a little late, but we are at the Fort. The weather / snowstorm timing worked in our favor and we were able to travel our normal route from PA to FW . 81-77-26-95-4-417. No weather , and I think the first trip ever that we had absolutely NO traffic slowdowns , even in Charlotte ! We arrived on Sunday 23rd right around when we got the text that our site was ready . Lucked out and we were granted our #1 preferred site I had listed . Loop 300 , outside of the loop and in site 305 . We had 302 last year , but 305 is better Very close to the dog park , and a huge site that opens up out the back towards the the dog park, and also the secluded trails all around the creeks . Perfect for walking the dog !
Now its been pretty lousy weather . Rain all day yesterday, and today . Went to Magic Kingdom yesterday and it was relatively empty due to the rain and early closing time of 4:30 . Almost walk-ons for everything except the headliners and they were even pretty low . Space mountain was 10 minutes all day for instance , almost everything else as well.
Its pretty cold . Most locals are wearing legit winter jackets ! They are calling for 28-32 overnights this upcoming weekend . SO cold, that we had to change some plans for our daughter and her boyfriend flying in from Chicago .They were planning on tenting in our site .....but at 28 degrees at night , that aint going to happen . We booked them a room at the newly refurbished All Star Music resort . Not ideal, but at least they are still on property and we will make it work .
Picked up our Golf Cart from Kenny right after we parked the RV and loosely set-it up . As luck would have it , Kenny had it sitting here for us already . Parked up front by the bus stop golf cart parking area, and had the keys hidden for us . (Think another guest must have been done renting it it that day, so it worked out) . He texted me some pictures of it so we could find it , and that was it .
Went to Steakhouse 71 for LUNCH on 24th . OMG, it was fantastic. We got the Bacon and Eggs for an appetizer to share and the prime rib sandwiches for meals . Got the chocolate cake to share for dessert. All was great , but the standout was the Bacon and Eggs (only available at lunch) .........omg , it was fantastic. Wish we didnt get it to share ! lol .
Had some food truck dinner last night and it was all very good.
Wife went inside to fill up our mugs and was suprisingly given a private tour of ................ The HOOP DEE DOO REVIEW under restoration , while I waited outside with the dog, wondering what the heck happened to her, lol .
SO .........NEWS for the HOOP DEE DOO ..............it is opening back up VERY soon ! They are in the process of re-doing the whole interior ! New Varnish on everything ..........except the original podium , since its original since 74. New lighting systems are being put in place , and she even got a demo of the new lighting system . Its going to be 6-9 weeks for cast member re-training , and they are waiting for covid mask rules to loosen a bit so they are sure to have the ability to "fill the house" .
Another rainy day today ..........not sure what we are doing yet , lol. .
