The 1500 loop

[Anne's Family]

Ok, I was just at WDW and ventured over to FW to bike around the property and look at the loops. We've got a popup and I'm not too keen on being put amongst all the motor homes. Is the 1500 loop a partial hookup loop (no sewer)? Is that why there's only tents and popup campers? Are there any other partial hookup loops? I love the 1500 loop, but what are my chances of getting in in August? (Yeah, I know... Florida in August.)

yes...1500 is partial hook up (elec & water only)as well as the 2000 loop. I literally JUST got off the phone with reservations and got in for May22-May31 with no problems...even got the AAA discount. It seems like the partial sites are alot easier to get than full or preferred. Good luck!

The 1500 loop is a partial hookup; that and the 2000 loop. I love 1500. It is a small, intimate loop that is very central to everything. My kids could ride their bikes over to the playground, even if I wasn't quite ready to join them. I have no experience with the 2000 loop, but I have noticed that it is more isolated, and for that reason I have never requested it. This last trip, we had to wait for a site in the 1500 loop for a couple of hours, but it was worth it!

WE have only stayed at the 1500 loop and we have always loved the central location of it. Being so close to the pool and trading post made it a great place to stay.

Ok, I've already booked a campsite for this August (might get pushed to next August - but insurance is good). I booked it through AAA, just because they did my last two trips. I booked room only and I'll pick up our tiks later. Now, if I want the 1500 loop, do I just have AAA put in the request and hope for the best?

Why don't you want to be with the motorhomes? We have popups next to us all the time. I was just curious. Although, if you don't have a bathroom in your popup, there really is no point paying the extra for a full hookup.

Well... I don't have anything against motorhomes per se. It just feels more like camping when you're with other popups and tents. I feel very puny beside motorhomes. Believe me, I'd love to actually own one myself. We are still looking to upgrade to a larger popup but it will most likely have a cassette potty so I wouldn't need full hookup.

But hey, if we end up being in the middle of the motorhomes, at least I know the people are always wonderful. I meet the most interesting souls that way.

There is one big advantage to being a pop-up camper in a full hookup loop - very little competition for the showers in the bathhouse!
