Folks,

As a reminder, the DIS Camping Forum is offering a group camping opportunity at Fort Wilderness in the first half of October through a direct contract with Disney. In the last week alone, I have been contacted (as the chief cat wrangler of this here rodeo) by more than one person about available space for trips that have been cancelled or otherwise affected by the COVID shutdown.

In short, we have a few Premium sites available for the week starting Sunday October 4, 2020 and more opening up available beginning Saturday October 10, 2020 and our contract ends Sunday October 18, 2020. The rates are not what I would consider discounted (it's a flat rate so hard to compare to weekday/weekend varied pricing) but about average. Note I said Premium, not Premium Meadow sites. So I'm not offering you a discount - what I am offering you is availability.

There is a sticky on the camping board with the latest news and the original thread announcing the event is on the camping community board. I encourage you, if you are interested in joining us, to read post two which has many of the details.

We are having our one DIS get-together on Monday October 12. Attendance is not required but we would love to have you there. I don't know and can't help with current issues related to purchasing tickets, making park reservations, or all the things that are up in the air right now. But if you can travel in early-mid October and need your Fort Fix, we can help.

In a few weeks we will stop taking reservations and the block will be closed. Read up on post #2 and PM me if you are interested to start the process of joining us for the Fort Wilderness DISMeet in October.

I hope to see YOU there. :wave:

Really going to miss the get together. Haven't cancelled our site yet, was kinda waiting to see if they were going to open up next Oct to reservations first but time is running out. Also going to miss Football and volleyball.

I am sad to say we will not be able to make the Dismeet. Arnold (Grumpy Aggie) is not able strength wise to travel. He has chemo every 4 weeks & it is kicking his rear. We plan on cancelling our reservations tomorrow. Were to arrive on Oct 4th staying close to 3 weeks. We were waiting to see if he could gain his strength, but so far no. Hoping someone will take our spot. Please if possible, let us all know who can't make the trip all the fun y'all will be having. Be safe & will miss not meeting everyone!!

Okay Gloria we will miss you and Arnold. We will continue to keep you both in our prayers.

And yes, we will do some sort of live trip report that hopefully the attendees will contribute to.

@friendofeeyore i am sad to see that but completely understand. Sending good thoughts to you and arnold.
No worries there will be live trip reporting and some mallory and food pictures.
 
Thank y'all! We have been waiting so long to attend this meet. Was even bring Shiner Bock Texas beer.
 
I was really hoping that this was finally going to be the dismeet that my husband and I could attend, but we are simply still too leary of COVID. Hoping to get to the next one.
