September Trip Roll Call & trip report thread

[MotherRunner]

Definetly in Sept 27-Oct 6. Requested 1600 loop. Just updated our adult chairs and fans. Decided to borrow a second tent so we could have a parent tent and a kid tent.

Now we just have to move from Virginia to Tennessee, unpack, pack for the Fort and we will be relaxing!

So just a few things before you go? Sounds like the Fort will be just the ticket.

4 under 4. Wow. Lots of respect here.

Here's hoping for good weather and a great trip.

4 under 4. Wow. Lots of respect here.

Have to agree there....

I am the youngest of 4 in my family. We were all 1 and a half years apart. Oldest born On June 1964, youngest (me) born December 1968... I don't know how my parents did it and I respect anyone that can.

I am not going in September but will be there in spirit and anxiously awaiting the TRs.

NO NO. Only 2 of the kids are mine. LOL . My boys are 4 and 2 they been camping before. The other two are my buddies. My family go to DW often. But we all are excited. Hope it doesn't rain too much just picked up a screen tent too. I have all my camping gear in my car last night wasn't sure if it will fit all in my Honda Accord. Tent, Chairs Grill and all in my Trunk. My wife think I'm crazy LOL. I'm Ready for sure just need the kids and the clothes.

SamRoc, I think it is great that you are going twice to the best place on earth "THE FORT" Truly wish we lived closer(Central Texas) & retired. I would be their all the time. Have a great fun time & safe travels!! Be sure, if you have time, to let us know about all the fun & we all love pictures.

Thank you so much! Just 9 days left! I would be there too all the time if dh and I were retired. I could definitely see being a snowbird at the Fort!

We're here!! Not the most auspicious start... Came down during the storm and stayed in SC where trees were falling left and right (hit the sites next to ours but thankfully we were ok) which made for a super scary night, then we got here yesterday and this morning the water pipe broke clean off and water is flooding the site (not to mention we have no water). It's been going for 2 hours now and no one has come to even look at it despite a few people promising they'd be here soon. Oh well, guess it's a good thing we didn't have a park day planned. Getting 7 kids out the door would have been tough with no water. As it is it's an inconvenience but we can use the comfort station for their bathroom. Fingers crossed they get here soon. But anyway, we're HERE!

Edit: It's fixed! Phew! Had a great brunch at trails end (our kids are bottomless pits yet walked out of there full!) Now off to the Poly for dole whips and monorail rides!

Oh my, glad you made it safely, I hope things get better and you are able to enjoy the rest of your stay.

Glad you're in safe. Hopefully the missteps are behind you now and the rest of the trip will be smooth sailing.

KCP1377, glad to hear that you made it to the Fort and I hope that kind of excitement is over for you and your family. We are also from NY( just a half hour south of Albany) and can somewhat relate to the trip you completed. I am guessing that you took 81,77,26,95 and so on. That is how we travel and like that route. Looking forward to your posts and maybe a picture or 10.

Aight folks, take note:. Too much caffeine intake on the way to the Fort can lead to extreme excitement and ultimately the inability to hit the space bar.

Yeah, as fellow Dairy Farmers, we know you will enjoy their "dairy-aire"! Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the amazement of the farm, safe travels, and enjoy all Fort Wilderness has to offer. We love Fort Wilderness, especially as our sons involved in our operation take over management, etc.

Got there late on Friday Nite had to work, (trying to save vacation days lol) Was able to get my site up and going in about a hour 3 tents. 1 screen tent and 2 Ozarks 6 person and 10 person tent. 2 problems, really not problems but learning lesson. Leave your bread in the car lol, These squirrels are devil lol they can smell it from mile away. 2 we had a red ant issue, forgot to tell the people about it it was bad. The Everything was OK the Campfire show was ok the kids loved it. We ate a Trials Ends on Sunday before going to the park YES YES. That Smoked Bacon lol and the French Toast bread pudding The best. We will be back.

Glad the trip went well other than the critter problems. I have had site 1511 before, it is one of the best sites in the 1500 loop, IMO anyway.
