Sorry for the slight delay today. My computer is acting up.
On with the report.
My last update left off with us visiting Downtown Disney, briefly touring the Fort at night, and turning in.
On Friday morning, January 2, I was up early again, and now had the TCD spy mobile available to get me around the Fort quickly.
So, I headed out.
I was heading up to the maintenance area to see if I might get a glimpse of the old River Country water tower. I took the road that goes by the cabin pool. I saw something was going on there, and stopped to see what was up.
There was a castmember cleaning the pool area, and a brave camper taking a dip:
I would say that it was in the mid 50's that morning. As you can see, the pool was nicely heated.
Some shots of the building that houses the restrooms and laundry facilities:
Someone was asking questions here on the boards about the laundry facilities for the cabins. This is it. This is the only laundry facility located in the cabin loops. The only other place that is close would be if you had a cabin in the 2100 loop. That loop is very close to the 1000 loop, and there is a sidewalk that takes you to that camping loop's comfort station.
The laundry facilities at the cabin pool are about twice the size as the facilities at the regular loop comfort stations. Here are some shots of the inside of the cabin laundry room:
And, check this out. If you want to bring a picnic lunch and make an afternoon out of it, feel free:
I don't know what those picnic tables were doing in there. I have been in here before, and I don't recall those.
I love this sign.
In case you need to know in great detail what an average load of laundry consists of, here you go:
I would say that makes things pretty clear. But, what happens if you put in three pairs of jeans, and two sets of undergarments? How much money do you need then?
I never noticed that there is automobile parking here at the laundry. It is right inside the 2500 loop:
So, if you are on one of the cabin loops further away, then you can drive there, and park here.
The sky was beautiful on this morning:
And, here comes a purple bus to get folks where they want to go:
There is also a basketball hoop here in this area, for anyone interested:
From here, I did head toward the maintenance area, but too many people were coming in and out of there.
So, I headed back to the loops, and looped around the 1700 loop. I noticed this camper's New Year's Eve decorations:
This same camper was here at Thanksgiving. With almost the same decorations. Look:
So, I headed down to the Settlement.
That is when I ran into the surveyors by the 600 loop. I have already posted the photos that I took of them.
I then looped into the 600 loop, and crossed over to the 700 loop. This is one of my favorite places to loop.
On the 600 loop, I saw this home-made RV. Looks rather nice:
On the 700 loop, I cruised by the sites that had been so nicely decorated for Christmas. The last site on the left had most of its decorations taken down.
But, this Mickey Mouse remained:
I wonder what this is all about?
Do you see the chain?
And the lock?
Maybe this statue is valuable.
Maybe Mickey saw the surveyors by the 600 loop with the orange ribbon, and has decided to start a campaign to save the trees?
I don't know.
