Abby's 1st Disney Trip Days 9 & 10 - Final Epcot and Hollywood Studios Days

WILDEST Legoland New York Stay Yet!! Water Boil Mandates, Ninjago Room, and Packed Park Days
Переглядів 2704 місяці тому
This week's adventure takes us back to Legoland New York's Hotel to stay in a Ninjago themed room for Kaylee's birthday. It was an interesting stay to say the least with Goshen (the town where Legoland is located) instituting a water boil mandate that impacted the resort's ability to use ice or fountain drinks. We also saw some of the longest wait times we have seen since the park opened.

    Thanks for the great and real video! That's what we look for when watching people's experiences. About the noise in the campground, that is one reason we're afraid to go camping. We don't want to be heard or hear others. It's too close for comfort. Also, with kids and their unexpected bedtime during travel, they might stay up and not let us sleep. Are all campground this close to each other? Do you still hear people if you book in a cabin?

    • @thefunparent

    Why do people who "camper camp" refer to those who tent as "tent city" camping is camping I thought? and if they are next to you then they paid the same price for there site as you did. Same as those who have travel trailers or 5th wheels camp may see you as a step above tents in your hybrid. Treat people the same as you would like to be treated.

    • @thefunparent
      @thefunparent 5 місяців тому

      We started as tent campers. The difference is we respected our neighbors, didn’t have unleashed pets coming into other people’s sites, and didn’t setup 6 tents on one site with 20-30 people staying on that one site. We camp with people who have tents and don’t look down on them at all. “Tent City” is referring to the fact that a site should not have 6 tents on one site. Campgrounds do not allow me to roll in with 3 campers and park them all on the same site. Why is it ok for tent camping to pile as many people on one site as possible? There were a ton of people tent camping at this campground. Just don’t be disrespectful of those around you and you can sleep in whatever you want.
