Sorry, but you can't take the golf cart over to WL, it's a no, no. You can catch the boat from the marina or a bus from the Settlement Depot.
Have fun and bet the pool will be open by the 20th of this month.

Is riding bikes over ok?

 

[stacktester]

Oh, just go ahead and take the golf cart over to the lodge. Plenty of people do it . I will just get the blame for it, like I always do, even though I will be 2 states over. Do anything you want, they will hunt me down and yell at me.

If you mention you know MrsGus, they'll give you a free gift.

Is riding bikes over ok?

Absolutely! We do it all the time. There isn't a great place at WL to stow the bikes that we've found, but they've let us lock them up near the beach behind the bike rental hut. Anyone know of a spot with bike racks?

One more from the archive.

First posting, but have enjoyed reading all of the others. Thanks for the updates on the Meadows pool. We are a little disappointed that the pool doesn't look like it will be ready when we are there. A group of families have been coming to Ft. Wilderness for the same week for the last 19 years--always staying on Cottontail Curl (although it sometimes takes a bit of magic to make that happen). Our kids have grown up doing this, and for one family in the group, the fourth generation is now coming! (Grandparents were there the first year FW opened.) Obviously, it is a very special place for us, with lots of special memories.

pictures...pictures are what we need to see what is going on. Please someone....

YES..... I CAN'T WAIT 4 DAYS....I NEED TO SEE SOME PICS

We arrive a day ahead of you all. I will sneak down Thursday and open a valve, or drop a hose in and get the fillin' started if I have to!

Im bringing my workboots and tools....If I have to help with the construction its worth it...I just need one day in the new pool so I don't have to wait till next March!!

 

[Thumper_ehhhhh]

What ever you guys do when your down there. Either it's working on the pool getting chaised by the mouse police for sliding the dry slide pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee take pictures and post them on here. We would all love to see the progress. If there is wet cement Canadians dont forget to draw the Canadian flag in one of the corners hehehe. watchs with interest.

Have another wonderful trip.

We're leaving tonight and will be checking in tomorrow night. Anybody know the status on the pool? Will it be ready or will we have to use the Wilderness Lodge pools?

You will have to use the second pool at The Fort or the WL pool.

Isn't there anyone there who can post some new pics of the pool???? Is it almost done???

 

[hopeisb4u]

I have to be honest. This thread is the main reason i joined this forum. . . And it makes me so very sad that we haven't had any pics lately. They were all over the place for a while there. Maybe some freak thing happened...like all the batteries died at the same time.

or maybe...it is so close to being done that it is totally secure and all hush hush...maybe...it is already open, and everyone is in on the secret & want to surprise all of us when we get there!!!

yeah...yeah...thats the ticket!

It's a little hard to get inside the construction fence to take pictures - especially when workmen are there. I am going to FtW on Saturday to ride my bike. If I can sneak in to the pool area, I'll get some pictures. TCD is the super-sleuth of the board. He has this inane ability to blend it and look like he belongs there. This old broad is kind of obvious that she doesn't belong anywhere near a construction site.

When we were there last Sunday, you could see the new slide. It's a tube like structure that has about 3 spirals in it. If you were standing on the long side of the old pool by the dressing/bath area looking to the other side of the pool, the slide is in the right corner. No signs of a water tower yet.

 

[stacktester]

The water tower is up. There's some pics previously posted by TCD. I just hope it's done by April 2 when we show up.

[SewBzzzy]
