Fort Wilderness Rennovations!!!!

[PolynesianPixie]

Last thing I saw was that the pool wouldn't be started until 2009. Maybe it will be ready for our Wild Dis Women's Weekend!

Lets all send our thoughts telepathically to the "powers that be" to make this happen!

 

[Gatordad]

I've had the same thought! I asked my BIL who is a CM if anybody ever slept there....I figured some CMs could have made it happen. Never heard of a CM going wild or anything He just looked at me like "why would anyone want to do THAT?"

need to find out if it's ever been christened.

Actually I read where last year a couple of teenagers were caught "christening" the Tree House . And would you believe they were part of a youth group there for Night of Joy.

Disney could pave over the whole place, then cover it with astroturf. They could then spend a fortune making trees ala Swiss Family Robinson tree house. Armadillos, deer, birds and gators could easily be replaced with animatronics. They could even recycle some of those from the Jungle Ride. It would be GREAT!!!!

Why don't they just put a big dome top over the whole campground, like half of spaceship earth, then it could be climate controlled year round and never have a rain out day

Yep! I was raised "old school"!! I cook, do laundry, clean house and work two jobs!! I'm a well trained beer wench, too! My dad used to toss his empty long-neck's at me & I'd "one hand" 'em without even looking & go get him a replacement (which I would not toss back)!! I miss the "good old days"!

When Al comes down to visit I automatically revert to the "beer wench". I'll be glad to be considered yours & Pete's personal wench when you're here! I'd be an honor!!

Touring Plans just announced that rennovations to the Fort are being planned that will entirely pave the current dirt pads. If true, this will make tent camping extremely difficult!

Does anyone have better info?

Say it ain't so!

 

[Tent Camping Mom]

According to the list, Loop 100, 200, 300, and 1600 - 1800, and 1500 and 2000 will keep the sand paid available for tents.

All other loops will go to paved only. However, tents will still be allowed on any level of site. Folks will just have to get creative if they want to put a tent on concrete as far as staking it down. They also state upgraded vegetation for privacy will be added between the premium sites, so it won't be "all" concrete, so awnings will be able to be staked down past the edge of the concrete.

Whew! Thanks for the clarification! I was about to freak out. Since they're leaving the 1500 and 2000 alone, I'm good with it.

 

[kmurawski]

Paved pads will mean less chances of creepy crawly creatures who slither on their belly. I like that!

While we were there this past week in 1400 loop, the surveyors were taking measurements by our site and when DH asked what was going on they said they were deciding which sites to upgrade to premium. They also said not every site in the selected loops would be updgraded since some sites are very close together or there may be other issues peventing the upgrade.

The CM in the outpost did not have very much info at all on the upgrades and didn't know anything at all about the pool renovations, but DS (he is a CM) said he was told that about 100 sites total would be upgraded to premium.

... but DS (he is a CM) said he was told that about 100 sites total would be upgraded to premium.

That's good to hear. It sounds like there will still be full hookup sites available for those of us who want them and not pay the additional $$$ for a premium site.

I don't think there will be any "full hookup" sites after the conversion is complete. They are adding cable to ALL the sites, so anything that was full hookup previously will now be preferred. Not exactly sure what this means for the partial hookup and tent sites and if they're going to raise the rates there, but they're all supposed to have cable.

I hope they upgrade the cable service, because I haven't been a fan. That is why we brought our Direct TV with us.
