You have no idea how honored I am
I was wondering if it was too soon to start an October thread
Never too early!

Only about a 90 min drive to were I would be working from the house.
I'm going to post so I can keep this on the first page. Watching this drop off makes it feel that much longer to our September trips.
Thanks Vince,Trying to help you out as this thread has dropped to #16 on the 2nd page.
Chris not sure of route you take down or how far you are comfortable in traveling each day but I do have some suggestions on CG's for trip
The RV Resort at Carolina Crossroads ( Just south of Va Border in NC) not a whole lot of amenaties but clean and super friendly and helpful staff. The few "Residents'' all had neat and tidy sites CS was being cleaned at least 3 times that I know of during our overnight stay
Camp Lake Jasper in SC is a must stay at for us. While we didn't make it there due to loss of electrical power and not able to get repaired for 2 weeks . When I called to ake a reservation I stated i wanted a site near the Dog Park for the 2 pups and they penciled me in for one directly opposite it. As they didn't have any payment info and provide me a reservation number I decided I didn't need to cancel with them. All they had was my name and phone number The day after we should have checked in they were on the phone to see if we were okay. We in large measure chose them as not a single review on Good Sam had any negatives. Based on how they dealt with us we can't wait to stay there
Thanks Vince,
I booked a few ADRs this week. My sister would decide on any character meals, so I picked Ohana for breakfast one day and we all like Japanese. Teppan Edo is fun and the food is typical Japanese Steak House good. I'll probably book a few Breakfast/lunches at Trails End, but I'm not sure what days yet.
My sister did give me a day back. She wanted to go "to the ocean" one day. She hasn't been to the ocean since my parents sold their condos in St Pete 20 years ago and my niece has never seen the ocean, so I said we'd go over to Daytona Beach one day. This week my sister said she is going to get a car and drive over to see one of her friends that lives in Tampa and has a boat. She was trying to make me jealous saying she'd be out on a boat all day. I said I'll be at the beach in May and I'll have an extra day at WDW instead.
She stopped after that.
She still doesn't seem that excited. My 5 year old niece on the other hand...

So during my two week camping trip, i realized that I could really use an ottoman in the trailer. So ordered one today, will post pictures once it comes in and makes it way to the trailer. We only have a couch, so there is no where to put my feet if I want to relax out. Usually I am outside and have the recliners for that. But on occasion, get stuck inside, usually weather related, figured I could use one. Have some other upgrades, but they will be forthcoming.
Just booked our first Fort trip for Sept 17-27! Reserved a premium campsite. We'll be coming from Indianapolis area pulling a travel trailer with our 10, 9, 3, and 2 year olds in tow. Four out of 6 of us have Sept birthdays within 3 weeks of each other so we decided to celebrate big this year with a trip to Disney. We try to make it to Disney every 2-3 years but this will be our first time driving and camping. We will likely leave a day early and camp/sleep overnight in Georgia somewhere. Having a trip booked makes stalking this board so much more fun!
Congrats JJ8! And to the Camping forum.Just booked our first Fort trip for Sept 17-27!
I didn't realize MNSSHP would be going on when we originally booked for September. (Actually starts in August this year) I've never been and no one in our group is a big Halloween person. Other than the 7pm-MN park access and a special parade and light show, is it worth the $$?
And how decorated will the Fort be in mid-September? I do have some Halloween decorations I can bring down.

They actually let you in at 4PM. I also hear Sunday night is the best time to go.I didn't realize MNSSHP would be going on when we originally booked for September.
