Disney's New Site Format

[zakerdog]

I was just in the "Official" Disney site just poking around and I saw that they have changed and updated the Fort Wilderness Campground Info page. They list the camp site specifics, they are broken down into 4 categories. There is a option button to check rates for different times of the year and a lot of other updated information about the park.

I notice they call the first two camp site types as premium but do not have the next two labled.

Well, they really don't label any of them, which is really weird. They call the first two classes "premium location" (these classes we refer to as Premium and Preferred campsite types, according to pricing). They also claim the "preferred" sites have upgraded tables and grills. Then they drop the "premium location" descriptor for the third tier (what we refer to as Full). And then drop the types of units that can be used when they get to "partial" sites. What is also interesting is they claim "preferred" sites can accomodate the largest motorhomes like the "premium". Odd.

Did you also notice that they show all sites having internet and cable.

All sites do now have cable and internet (additional fee).

But why can't they ever get all the details right. Here is the pet comment: "Pets allowed in select premium campsite loops" So, I guess pets can't be on preferred or full hook up sites

They also show four types of sites:
Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort offers 4 different types of campsites:

* Tent/Pop-Up Campsite
* Full Hook-Up Campsite
* Preferred Hook-Up Campsite
* Premium Campsite

Tim, where are you seeing this? The new website does not use any of these "classic" labels to identify site classes.

Along the left side there are several tabs. Click the tab for Amenities & Services and the last thing on that frame is the quote for the pets.

Click the Overview tab and you get the following quote:
"Pick Your Campsite

After checking in at a drive-up Reception Outpost kiosk, Guests can drive to the many loops containing 784 campsites. Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort offers 4 different types of campsites:

* Tent/Pop-Up Campsite
* Full Hook-Up Campsite
* Preferred Hook-Up Campsite
* Premium Campsite"

Ah, yes, I see where you get it. But the odd thing is that when you click the hyperlink that says they offer 4 different types of campsites it takes you to the rate chart which lists the four types, and their specifics, and never labels them! Leaving you to guess which relates to the four labels listed on the referring page! Brilliant! LOL I am glad to see they haven't expunged the labels altogether.
