Partial Hookup Loops?

[WDWFWfan]

We're planning a trip to FW in May of next year. Went to price the trip and received sticker shock at the cost of a campsite for next year.

Anyway, that's got me thinking about getting a partial hookup site at FW. It would save us nearly $300 by simply loosing the sewer. I have never stayed in a partial hookup site in the past and have a few questions.

1. Which loops are partial hookup? The only ones I have seen were "off the beaten path" and were not as nice (less shade, less space, seemed to be less cared for).

2. Is there a dump station at FW that one could take a portable tank too?

3. How busy are the comfort stations? I've been spoiled by the one in the 1100 loop, never busy (rarely anyone else in it) and almost always spotless.

4. Comments on the partial vs. full debate?

5. Are the pads paved? Or would we be walking through sand/crushed shell to get to the door of our unit?

We are staying in a popup...it has a shower, but we would just use the bathhouse to avoid creating gray water, the sink would produce a little hence the need to dump the portable rolling tank.

Thanks for the input!

Partial hookup sites are great for popups!!

There is a paved driveway and many folks keep their popup on the paved area.

There is no dump station.

What I do is take my collapsible grey water container to the comfort station and just dump it there.

The sites are just as clean and well maintained as all of the other loops in the campground.

I have never found the comfort stations to be crowded, but then I usually take my shower very late at night. The 1500 loop is very small so the comfort station is not overwhelmed.

The 2000 Loop is huge, but has two comfort stations.

Thanks, I had seen the 2000 loop, but I did not know about the 1500 loop. Are these the only two partial loops?

How shady/private is the 1500 loop? I love the 1100 loop (we stayed there last 5 visits) because the sites are huge (as compared to others). Also, lots of shade is important for the pop as you know.

Finally, love the map in your sig...where'd you get that?

Thanks!

We have stayed in the preferred loops up front and found we really didn't use the water (sewer) much at all, so we decided to go back to the partial hook up with our pop up for next year. There is a significant difference in price! We stayed in the 2000 loop and were very happy with the size of the spaces. The 1500 loop looks smaller in site size from what I have seen. The 1500 loop sites are closer to more "things to do." We'll be getting a golf cart next time so the fun of the that will outweigh how far we are from things in the 2000 loop. Either way you'll have fun.

I've never stayed in a partial site, but from looping I'd say that 1500 has bigger sites. Like Carol said, its a small loop so not as many people...therefore a bit more private. Lots of shade in that loop too.
