Hello all,

Just go back from our sixth annual camping trip to Fort Wilderness. Let me start off by saying that we LOVE it there, obviously since we go every January. We camp in a tent for a week, and let me tell you, it was COLD :xmas:. It got down to the 20's at night two nights and in the 30's and 40's the other five nights. BRRRRR!! We were prepared, had good sleeping bags, doubled up in our sweat pants and brought an electric blanket. It didn't dampen our spirits at all.

We were able to see the main pool getting ripped up. They started with the jack hammering about 8 am every morning. Does anyone know what the new pool will look like?

The one thing about Fort Wilderness is that you can always count on hearing plenty of "noise pollution". If it's not the blowers clearing off the sites it's the chain saws. It seems that they are always cutting down trees, always. You'd think that they would run out of trees to cut.

But, as I said, we love it there so it's worth a little noise to enjoy our "winter home".

We were there last Feb.. We also stayed in a tent and we had a blast. Two of my favorite sounds in all WDW are the boat whistles and train whistle(at MK) off in the distance. It was a little chilly at night but not as cold as you had.

While dog sledding my way to work this morning ( a glorious foot of fresh snow :rolleyes:) the weatherman said Orlando was going to be 81 today. I got angry and turned off the radio. So, it seems their weather has now taken a turn for the better.

I too love FW, in fact I may camp there one day in the near future. We ususally stay in a cabin but if the price is right and I want to go I may grab a tent or the back of our SUV and camp. Put a nice air mattress in the 4 runner, take out the back seats, pack a bag and head out. I am up for an adventure about now that doesn't involve a snow shovel, mittens, salt, boots....you get the picture!
