    decorated bikes in the Halloween parade?

    I thought that I had read somewhere that if the kids decorate their bikes and then sign up at the Bike Barn that they could participate in the Halloween parade. Did I read this correctly or is this not true? Thanks.

    How old must children be to be "unattended" at the fort?

    I think it is a very valid question. While I am paranoid about the pool and rarely leave mine.....I do let them wander pretty far on bikes when camping. Due to the size of the Fort....(although I have never actually been)....I have also put some thought into this....as to how far I would be...

    a little more on this subject....I am not familiar with Publix =)...could one also get ice and beer? Also, do you have any favorite delivery for food at the fort for nights you don't feel like cooking out?

    We will be in a tent loop...I have no idea which to ask for, but I am going to ask for the quieter loop for the youngest minnie to get good sleep. We will be staying a little more than a week and are only planning two park days...Magic and Animal. We hope to have a lot of down time/pool time...

    Crazy budget Jan '18 FW trip

    I agree friends that the ticket prices are also what is killing us. There are seven of us, you can just imagine....and I do agree that the Fort can be an experience in and of itself. In fact, should we ever make another trip, most likely, we would only do one Disney day simply because of the...

    OFFICIAL OCTOBER 2017 pretrip and trip report!

    I really, really hope crowd calendars are accurate as we have planned our trip into the parks around them. But, then again, I am trying to prepare myself that a "5" is still a massive amount of people.

    I for sure will not call you a liar or anything else. I would really, really like to "hear" your tips. We are going on an extreme budget...and honestly, I still am not sure Disney is worth it. This very well may be a once in a lifetime trip for my kids because of the expense. We are not...

    Any tips for hanging a tarp?

    we do tarps often. I have a huge one that goes over our tent and will cover the picnic table. It is a production. I have never used the poles you mentioned...we just cut down some little trees, shaved the bark and tie them down on top of the truck....but....how we do it....we attach one pole...

    Dining Canopy question

    Honestly, I would either go with a a nice EZ UP or just tarp it. You could either get folding tent poles or cut down a few saplings and use those for poles. We have both. The tarp is a lot more complicated but cheaper. It is also much more sturdy than the EZ UP. High winds can take the...
