Something is happening near the pool!!!

[DaveInTN]

As a follow up to the depth marker error, we went over to the WL pool again last night. The depth at one point in that pool is 3ft 6in / 1.1m, and at another point 4ft / 1.2m. Those are much more accurate than the markings at the Fort pool.

Awesome pictures, send some warm weather up north in Michigan.

I'm a little confused since 3 feet 9 inches is greater than 1 meter. Disney is usually a little sharper with those details.

Maybe someone got confused and thought when they were told it was 1 meter, they made it equal to 3 feet 9 inches instead of 39 inches? You know, 3 feet 3 inches didn't sound right, so it must be 3 feet 9. So much for double checking before"writing it in stone".

We will be there on Thursday for several days! Hope to see progress!

Maybe the nine was suppose to be a 6????

Even though folks have been doing a great job keeping us updated lately, it just so happens that TCD will be at the Fort for a few days this week.

We had a little rain today at the Fort, which cut down on my typical photo taking. Also, the workers on the pool have finally shifted it into high gear, and were working to 7 pm. Things are changing fast!

And, something really strange happened to the logo on the water tower.

Here are a few photos for now- I will post some more in the morning.

That mysterious box that we saw in an earlier photo is now in the ground:

That large cylinder in the photo above is the second one on site. Are these going to be spray towers?

About the water tower- there were workers working around the tower with what looked like some kind of large decal

Look what they did!:

Yes, that is Musket Mickey!

He is back!

The FWRR logo is gone, and they have replaced it with a real, original, old favorite!

I can't believe it!

This is the best photo that I could get today- I will sneak back tomorrow for another try.

Great pics all keep up the good work.

I am soooo suprised they put up musket mickey...seriously I thought they were slowly weeding him out over the years....that made my day....thanks tcd!

 

[DaveInTN]

TCD - you scooped me! I couldn't believe it myself when I saw the new logo this morning on my bike ride and was hoping to be the first to report it on here. I should have known that no one scoops TCD! Great reporting.

I also am pleased that they used a traditional WDW font in the lettering on the new logo. It gives the tower a real connection to the past.

I was able to get a close-up of the new logo today:

Thanks to everyone for the information and updates on the pool project. We check in 4/19, and I've <gulp> promised the kids it will be open. Sure hope so or I'm in deep! Keep posting the great pictures and let us know as soon as it's open for business!

Man that would suck.

Oh no, I fell for it

I am in bed reading for school (and of course my mind is thinking about Disney and not curriculum theory) when it hit me that this may have been an April Fool's joke. I saw it earlier this morning and I thought nothing of it besides "That's awesome!" and 6ish hours later it clicked

I quick jump on the computer to double check that TCD posted the pics TODAY, and sure enough he did.

I am pretty sure we were fooled

If it is an April Fools joke, it's a pretty good doctoring of the picture. Hopefully it isn't and Disney has had a change of heart and realized how silly it was to replace the logo in the first place.

I was fooled. I also saw this photo on the Fort Wilderness Railroad site today.
It is great photo shopping. After looking closer though the cable hanging down from the top seems to disappear in places. Brilliant to get DaveInTN as an accomplice.

As far as the April Fools joke - you got me too!!

the cylinders in previous photos--

In the north east we use that size tube for light pole bases around fields(soccer,football,etc.)

Are there any flood lights around the pools yet?

I may be mistaken, but I think the newer pools on property have big lights. It seems it's brighter than day at some of the pools at newer resorts.

Just speculation.
