Live from Fort Wilderness

[Disney Campers]

Hi everyone we are in site 1218, until Saturday. The Chip & Dale buses are gone and no additional buses were added to the crockett or boone routes according to the cast member who checked us in, The routes have changed and from what we have seen so far - packed buses standing room only and packed bus stops, I hope they make some changes on this quick - what a mess.

I will be checking email throughout the week.

Just Curious......

Do you notice increased car traffic inside FW? (Are folks driving themselves to and from the parks as opposed to waiting out the bus fiasco?)

Hope you are having a wonderful time!

Did they put the snack bar back in the meadows trading post?

Did you just get there? We were on 906 and left yesterday. Just wondering if I might have missed ya. WE got there June 15 and left the 25th (yesterday)

I have a few questions:

Is the campground VERY crowded? Are people getting vocal and angry with the bus problems?

What time does the first boat leave for the MK on early entry mornings?

After you have checked things out, let us know how you would recommend getting to each park. (since the busses are so messed up, are you driving to MGM and Epcot?)

Thank you for all of the information!!

Have a great vacation!!

hmmmm......Either Scott isn't answering because he's having a wonderful time at WDW.............or..........he's still waiting for a Boone or Crockett bus

First Boat leaves for MK on Early Entry days at 7:30 i'm told, (we never get up that early) The campground seems quite full most of the week and car traffic seems about typical. We have not visited any of the Disney Theme parks this trip, but my take on the Bus situation - I like the fact theat both Boone and Crockett go through the campground not just parts of it, the buses seem overly crowded at certain time - maybe just a bug they will work out hopefully (Add additional buses at certain times may help), we usually never rode the Chip or Dale bus in the past.

Another thing we heard was the MK boat now stops at the Wilderness Lodge also rather than directly to the MK

We left on the 28th after 6 days in a cabin and bus transport is the worst we have ever encountered. If you are unfamiliar with the transportation at FW it can be frustrating. After attending the BBQ on 06/21 we waited through 4 busses before finding one with enough space to board. I cant imagine the mess if they were really busy, about 1/3 of the cabins looked empty and there were many open campsites.

Thanks Disney Campers for the info! Did you happen to get the listing of the new Boone and Crockett bus stops? I can't find the list online yet.

Thanks,
Twinmommy
