Thanks for the great pictures. It really shows how much they have pulled out. My dh and I visited in AUg and were surprised how much was gone.

We were there in August too, during Tropical Storm Fay, and were surprised to see how much work they were doing. I spoke to the manager and he said that they need to build up the cabins again as they are sinking and they needed to upgrade in order to accomadate the trailers that have pop out sides. They are also going to change the pool area and add a slide and some hot tubs. This should all be done by the summer of 2009 as they started refurbishing the cabins in August and they started with loop 2500.

Thanks to everyone for posting your pics. We don't have a camper (we barely have a tent, lol), but these make us want one!

The day before we were to check in, we took a drive over to FW and took a ride around the campground checking out sites that we thought would fit our camper and truck. Finally we went to the office and requested sites and they said they can not do that, you can request but they'd can't promise you a site. So I told them I wanted either 401 or 236, nope he said they are both reserved. So I mentioned a few other sites and sure enough they too were all reserved. I asked him what site we were assigned to and he said they are not allowed to tell you. So he kept saying "just wait and see what you get, you might like your location," over and over and over. I guess I should have taken the hint but it wasn't getting through, lol. Finally I said okay we'll wait and see and then can I come choose another available site if we don't like it, he said yes but just wait and see first. Duh? Ok.

Ok it's Monday, 10/6/08 we have arrived. We get to the office to check in and we get our packet of Disney Magical Information and our tickets / room keys and they give us the card that lists our campsite and guess what???? Remember me whining that they would not let us have the couple sites that we drove around and picked specifically because they were great sites? Every time I picked a site he’d say no, that’s reserved. Wait until you get here tomorrow, you just may like the site you’re assigned. Finally I had given up and said ok ok I’ll wait! So he hands me the packet with our site assignment and our site is (drum roll here……………….Site 401!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s the one we picked as our absolute most favorite one! Woohoo….Doing the Happy Dance Here.


Now, on to our site!

It’s a great site, on a corner and wide so we have a lot more room for our decorations!! You just know we love gaudy so it was park the camper and get started, we only have 24 hours till the kids get here so have to be all gaudied up (is that even a word)? LOL.

There he goes, the race is on, he’s going to open up the camper and get the electric, water and sewer hooked up (all very important things) and then get down to the serious stuff………..the decorating!!!!

Now this is the way to get around the campground, a Golf Cart. We rented ours off property, which saved about $150 - $200. They are not allowed to deliver them on Disney property as naturally they want you to rent theirs, however, they are allowed to deliver them just off the campground because you are allowed to bring in a golf cart on your own, so we met the man at the kennel, which is just outside the gate and drove it on in ourselves. It was great all week running around the campground on it, driving down to the front for buses to the parks or over to the Marina for boats to Magic Kingdom. I want one of these for my very own now; they are just way too cool!!!! Can you imagine how we’d decorate it if it were our own???

And yes, I know my pictures are not in chronological order, lol. I took the ones of the decorated site later and so now they have to post in the wrong spots just so you can see what we have in the normal order of things, lol, not my normal order, but real people’s normal order, lol. I just wanted to get a good dusk picture where you could see the lights lit but not be too dark to see all the decorations.

While we were busy decorating, we had some visitors. It was so nice to have them stop by and see us. They offered to help but we thought if they would just feed us it would be enough so they gave us a few quackers

In the evenings when we'd be driving back to the campground just before the gate for returning campers we saw so many deer. They were laying around on the grass, very comfortable knowing they were safe at Disney. AFterall, who is going to hurt Bambi here at Disney? They were just beautiful!

4mickey2, where did you get your inflatable pumpkin Mickey? My wife will have to have one!...so will I.

Site 1639 two weeks ago. Good location, just a few sites from the bus stop and the bridge to Meadows Trading Post was just across the street. Site is a little sparse from all the clearing, but we liked it for the convenience. Right near the road, but we never "noticed" road noise... Could be we were always exhausted by the time we got back from running around Disney ...

Edited: changed picture size.

Also, we said hello to 4mickey2 while we were there!

Actually that is my pumpkin Mickey. We were with 4mickey2. I got it on Disneyshopping.com. I looked a week or so before we left and they didn't have them on their site anymore.

The new and IMPROVED 1900 loop! I always said that I would never stay in that loop...well, never say never!

Our site was the last site on the loop so we LOTS of space. We had lots of golf cart traffic being the last site (which we dont mind), but no bus noise being that far back from the bus stop.

Site 1938

 

[Born 2 Fish]

It actually looks like a pretty nice site. Nice and big too.
Good pics.

Sonya-
Did you have ressies for a full hook up? We are going soon and my ressies(I have 6 or 7 now!?!? ) are for full, prem. and pref. with most being for full. I don't have a clue which loop to request. 1900 looks really nice and the sites look big! Hope you had a good trip and glad to have you safely back in north GA!

We're home safe and sound, thanks!

No our reservations were for a preferred site. They had originally placed us in a VERY small site in 1400...no room on either side for decorations for the inflatable movie screen. I called up front and they gave us this site. The site person claimed on the phone that 1900 is preferred loop since it now has cable. I didn't worry about it since I liked the site so much. Not all of the sites are this big, but the ones toward the end of the loop are! Maybe I'll call and ask the "manager" if 1900 is now considered preferred....I may have a refund coming??

Maybe the site assigner can combine your reservations? That will be a pain to go back up and re-check in so many times!!
