wow, how cool is that.

is there a way to get 2000 and 1500 loops like that? i would love to see what they look like.

 

[2goofycampers]

Here is a little loop info.


The number of campsites in each loop is as follows:

100 loop - 25; 200 loop - 37; 300 loop - 63; 400 loop - 33; 500 loop - 56; 600 loop - 22; 700 loop - 35; 800 loop - 74; 900 loop - 32; 1000 loop - 23; 1100 loop - 24; 1200 loop - 22; 1300 loop - 34; 1400 loop - 61; 1500 loop - 21; 1600 loop - 46; 1700 loop - 41; 1800 loop - 32; 1900 loop - 38; 2000 loop - 69.

Hey Deni, I was curious where you got those numbers? My count on 300 is 61 but have seen it reported as 63. I'm just wondering if they decommissioned a couple of sites at some point. Also, on 700 you show 35 but I count only 34. 1600 you have 46, but I count 45. This is a matter that has caused me no small concern over the past couple of months as it intersects my work on a "secret project" soon to be revealed (stay tuned ) Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Speaking of loops, I just got off the phone with Disney reservations, and the woman told me that as of this coming April, Loops 100-300 will be the only preferred loops, and loops 400-1400 will all be premium. Has anyone else heard this or have any knowledge of it? Am I losing my mind, or do the loop categories keep changing?

The designations have changed since they were first announced, but this information appears to be correct for when all of the work has been finished. Originally, there weren't going to be full hook ups any more, just premium, preferred, and partial. But, I think the suits backed down from their original intention of trying to pass 1600-1900 off as preferred loops. So, it looks like 100-300 will be preferred, 400-1400 will be premium, 1600-1900 will be full, and 1500 and 2000 will be partial.

When I was at the Fort last week, the 1400 loop was in the midst of its upgrade. From the looks of things, I would say it will be two to three weeks at the soonest before 1400 is ready to go. After that, 900, 1000 and 1100 all need to be done. I would be surprised if this will be done by April.

...and 700. I suspect 700 will be next, then 900-1100.

EDIT: Oops, I was trying to tag this on to the end of TCDs post.

Ah... once again I think AllEars is AllWet! Ok, that's unfair, they're a really good source, but they seem to have dropped the ball a few times re: the Fort. I feel more sure of my numbers now. Thanks.

 

[3gr8kids]

Thanks for the update TCD, (a.k.a. "Super Sleuth")! I knew that if anyone had the 411, it would be you.

 

[zakerdog]

I show loop 300 with 61 sites on the map I made and 700 with 34 sites. I walked around last year and drew a rough sketch for my own reference.

 

[Shan-man]

Thanks for the confirmation Carol!

Whoops, Shan-man is right. 700, 900, 1000 and 1100 are all still waiting for the premium upgrade. Unless they bring in additional crews, there is no way that all four of these loops will be done by April.

I think this all about money since most of the peole I see at FW don't have a 40' MH or a giant trailer. But you are still going to have to pay for a spot big enough to park one. I liked the sand!!!

When we where there in Nov/Dec 08 we wanted 200 loop. Well they stuck us in 1900 and called it preferred. I am sure somebody prefers it but not us. We like to be closer to the action. Next trip we are shooting for the 400 loop.

Site 722 - I love this site.

 

[team bradfield]

worst site, I think it was 1423, when the glacier recedes from the camper, I will check...all my vacation files are in the camper...

getting backed in around the tree was fun...took me a 6 pack to recover

 

[BigDaddyRog]

Thats a hell of a drop off from the sandpad...a guy could jump to his death on something that extreme!!! When was this...has it been fixed since the new reno's???

We really had to dismount the rig slowly......I sure hope they improve it, I think the 1400 loop is now premium.

I would have passed on the site and requested a change, but everyone in the area bet I couldn't back it in..Damn my pride

 

[Shan-man]

That one's gonna be a challenge to turn into a Premium! Well, maybe not, if they approach it with their typical technique: a chainsaw and a backhoe!
