Current work at the Fort

[CarolynFH]

Some years ago (2018/19-ish) a bus driver (in the fort) said that pioneer hall was going to be torn down as it was showing its age and was needing more work. The suggestion was that it was becoming easier to tear down and rebuild than to keep putting bandaids on things gong wrong.

So, I agree with your opinion; I think they’ve planned all along to tear it down. The only thing that was still up in the air was what it would look like afterwards; I think we know now.

This makes me sad, to think that PH is going away in its present form. I hope they'll keep Hoop Dee Doo going; hopefully the new building will go up before the current one is torn down! I hate to think of a new HDD theater possibly holding more guests, though - it seems large enough for me right now and would lose something intangible if it were a lot larger.

OMG I just thought of something - what if PH and Crockett's Tavern, etc., are going away because they'll be replaced by something inside the new building?? That could explain why the new building is so close to the Settlement buildings. I hope that's not the case, but I'm afraid now that it is.

I don't think they want us lowly campers wandering around over there

I’ve been saying since I saw how close the construction is, FW is going to lose the Settlement. If they take away Pioneer Hall, what’s left? The trading post, playground, “Clemintine’s” beach and the marina.

They will find a way to take “Clemintine’s” beach from us too, they’ll want to put more of those waterfront A frame cabins there, why would they waste that prime real estate on us campers? And the marina? It’s really just a dock now to catch a boat to MK or the other resorts or a fishing excursion. And you know the folks staying in those waterfront cabins on Clementine’s Beach won’t want to walk all the way over to the LSL dock when the Fort dock is SO close.

I don’t have any new pics of the monstrosity, but here are pics of my dogs at the Fort, we just checked in today.

I still think everyone has it backwards, I think Pioneer hall will be redesigned to match the tower - they are way too close for it not to be combined into one resort and campground. I think it is closer to PH than BLT is to the Contemporary.

This is a future possibility.

When they rebuilt the Tri-Circle-D Ranch across the road and went with a more modern design (not the original TCD style that matched Pioneer Hall), my antennae went up when I saw that.

With HDDR being so popular though, they might refurb the existing building heavily.

I like pictures of your dogs more than I do that other, mom.
