    I think FW may be losing me

    In the past, you never heard anyone talking about leaving the fort for a hotel. Now you hear several people mulling it over. Current prices are rediculously high if you ask me. The fact that this discussion even exists is proof enough of that. The best way I can say it is that the Fort has...

    Security & had a thought.....

    But don't you see, by not doing anything about it, you ARE condoning this behavior. That is the exact definition of condoning. (overlooking an offense or violation) By not saying something to those people, that encourages them to do it more and more ! that is exactly my point. Correct, and...

    Security & had a thought.....

    Management may not care, but it is obvious that the people spending their money renting sites, DO CARE. No one is complaining about non-guests eating at Trails end, or renting bikes, or fishing, or renting boats. You obviously don't know much about Fort Wilderness. The Fort is packed...

    Security & had a thought.....

    I'm so sorry that this happened to you. I recently had my charger stolen as well from the outpost area, so I know exactly how you feel. It stinks. Unfortunately, the worst feeling (for us) was the uncaring way we were treated by the disney managers when we reported these thefts. They actually...

    Annual Passholder Discounts not available Fort Wilderness?

    Many times you have to book for longer periods of time (like 14 nights) to get the AP rate. Then call back after reservation is made to change to the correct dates.You will keep the AP rates for the shorter period. I have done this many times.

    Question about preferred sites..

    As usual, TCD is correct. We stayed in site 109 in August. There was a very green and nasty "canal" behind our site. I wouldn't waste your time requesting a site on the water in these loops.

    Security & had a thought.....

    I like many of the ideas floated around here. And I am glad that I am not the only one that feels that the fort lacks in security. All of the extra gates and wristbands are great BUT....... until you have someone working there that has a backbone and is not afraid to approach the offenders...

    Security & had a thought.....

    As far as the new procedures, which were in place while we were there in August: During our 3 week stay, we saw dozens of people parking their cars in the overflow lot, carrying coolers, tables, lawn chairs, Pizzas, and towels to the meadows area and beach area. Then they spent the whole day...

    FYI - The New Gates at the Parking Lot and Kennel

    I am not trying to inflame, or attack anyone or anything with this post. It is only an informational post that addresses the theft of my charger last month: Now that the disclaimer is out of the way. My charger was stolen by a person that lives in Orlando. I know this because when we got...

    Fort thefts.... They got ME !!

    I spoke with Manager Jeff Martin the other day and "spoke my peace" about all of my recent issues at the Fort. (thefts,overcharged, lack of security) I gave him an earfull and he listened to me for a LONG time. He was really very nice and I felt bad for him after it was all over with because I...

    You can't request a pet loop if you don't have a pet?

    I don't have pets and I have been placed in a pet loop numerous times. Never by request. Lately every loop is a pet loop anyway. The last 3 times we stayed this year, we were in 100 loop (non-pet) and there were dogs everywhere. In our loop, at the Settlement, on the beach etc....The Pet and Non...

    Fort thefts.... They got ME !!

    No one is saying "let's ban private carts". What happened was, when I was talking to the managers at the Fort about someone stealing my charger, I was told by them that there has been a rash of thefts and "other issues" that they were trying to address. One of the "other" issues was kids driving...

    Check your bill closely !! I was overcharged $223

    When I checked out on 8/25 I looked at my bill and it seemed a little high so I asked the front desk person to recheck my bill. She gave me the nightly rates and we both added them up. There was a $223 discrepency. The cast member (Alma) was great. I cannot express how courteous and professional...

    Fort thefts.... They got ME !!

    They have been working on the overflow lot recently. There is a big sign now that says all traffic needs to go through the security gate. It looks like they are adding new security poles to prevent cars from entering from the second entrance.

    Well, to add insult to injury....... After being told by 3 managers that I could file a cliam for my golf cart charger being stolen , and being given the telephone number by them, I called the number today and was told that I could NOT file a claim. Way to go Fort Managers. Thanks for lying...

    Fort thefts.... They got ME !!

    This was our 15th trip with our golf cart and never thought to secure the charger until this trip. Funny thing is, 2 days prior to the charger getting stolen I said to my wife " I think I better lock the charger to the cart when we get home. I would have done it right there, if I had the...

    Fort thefts.... They got ME !!

    No, it was no mistake. It was under the back seat, in a compartment. They knew what they were doing. But thanks for the kind thoughts:)

    Fort thefts.... They got ME !!

    No they didn't offer any compensation. they offered to let me use one of their carts for 24 hours, but I was leaving the next day so I declined. They gave me a telephone number to file a claim. Well, thefts of, and from private carts are becoming a problem, so if there are no private...

    Fort thefts.... They got ME !!

    Just got back from the Fort and am very angry to report that my Powerwise golf cart battery charger was stolen from my cart on 8/24. When I reported it stolen, I was told by several staff members that they have had an increase of thefts recently. (lights, bikes, my charger, and even an entire...
