Current work at the Fort

Got to the Fort at 6:50am, currently waiting for a site.

We took the dogs for a walk and were happy to see that the construction staging zone is gone.

There are 3 premium loops closed, 500, 700 and 1100.

And the eyesore is continuing to grow.

The front desk CM advised me that the Meadows construction is now scheduled to start on 5/8.

I’ll continue to report what I see. If anyone has any questions or requests, let me know and I’ll do my best.

It’s a nice morning with a good breeze blowing through the open windows as we sit in the overflow lot.

We like to check in early in the morning too, @proudmomof4 , and enjoy the peace and quiet of the start of the arrival day in the overflow lot. Have a great stay!

PS - if the work starts at the Meadow project while you are there, see if you can strike up some pleasant small talk with any of the construction workers as to what the building is going to be for.

:( I was hoping the Meadows project was cancelled. At least I got some pictures of the Meadow as it is now, right after sunrise when we were getting back from the Wine and Dine 5K this fall.
 

Important info for those who like to use a television while at the Fort. We always use it to have noise for the dogs, but on this trip we couldn’t get any channels. I scanned over and over and still nothing.

I went to the front desk yesterday morning and they had someone from engineering come out and check. That guy said it was a problem at the post and he would have Telecom come out.

We waited until after 7:00pm and no one showed up, but we did see them at a site across from us. I walked over and struck up a conversation, they said there had been an update about a month ago and DirectTV is no longer being used. They said I should rescan and I would get over a hundred channels. I told them I had rescanned many times. They tried to tell me my TV might be old and I should get a new one. My TV is 3 years old, I’m not getting a new one.

After the Telecom guys were done at the other site they came over to mine, even though they claimed they shouldn’t without a ticket. I told them it was called in that morning by the engineering CM. They claimed they never got it. They did a rescan on my outside TV and lo and behold, over a hundred channels. They wouldn’t come inside to check the inside TV but told me to rescan again. I went in, rescanned and got over a hundred channels. They claimed they didn’t do anything, but they must have done something.

Oh, and of the over 100 channels, half are duplicates and the people are all blue and any text on the screen is backwards. So just keep going through the channels and eventually you’ll find what you’re looking for with normal color and correct text.

The Disney IT disease is spreading to other departments apparently .....

But I'm glad you found some channels as background noise for the dogs. :happytv:
