After all was said and done, himself and I were close enough to WD (Valdosta, Ga) that we decided to get to the Fort anyway. Welp, we were on the turnpike heading to the turn-off when I got a phone call from Disney.
Because we were going to stay at the tent/pop-up sites (we have a mini-camper) and hadn't arrived yet, they said they were relocating us to Port Orleans Riverside. The cast member told me they were going to be closing down the tent sites.
We didn't have to pay anything extra (so she said), and we were able to find a parking space that would accommodate our Subbie and Little Guy.
Additionally, we had had a double reservation--from the 26th to the 30th, and the 30th to the 3rd. We were told we wouldn't have to move rooms, and will probably be put up here (at POR) for our length of stay.
I mentioned I'd thought we'd have to wait for a warning, but she said the powers-that-be were being really proactive on this. The cast member that checked us in said they weren't being told much. I guess we'll be set here until if and when they open the Fort back up? It's been kind of confusing.
Anyway, the cast members have gone over and above for us, and they eased our transition remarkably well. Now we're taking a wait and see attitude as to what happens next.
Thought I'd provide a this bit of information to show how things went for us. I would think others had similar experiences.
