Like a lot of things at Disney, they themselves are some of the biggest rule breakers by looking the other way. If someone is breaking the rules using a Disney cart, Disney should impound the cart and they should forfeit their entire payment. Same thing for other rule breakers, impound the devices until check out.

We did the Mothers Day Brunch in 2022 at Trails End (we were not staying at the Fort). We had a great time and the food was good. But like others have said family style is not a buffet. I have a feeling they are going to turn it into a place like Wilderness Lodges Roaring Fork. Definitely not a special place. Getting tired of getting less for more $ everyplace we go, and tons of places are doing it besides Disney.

So read g Grumpys post or rules it seems like tandem bikes are not allowed either?

We just came back from the Fort on 8/30. The beach area is restored and lounge chairs are back in the sand and tables and chairs on the deck. One thing we noticed is that we could barely hear the talking/music from the show. Seemed like the only speakers were back by the main path.

Interesting chart showing how there are 3 main players in RV manufacturing and only a couple handfuls of independents. Biggest surprise to me was that Thor owns Airstream. https://www.rvbrands.info/brandTree.html?fbclid=IwAR05lBqq4fm54xrFWtfY5s7Fb5Aq7HChZW_Zr8dqSGkwWfv4-v66rewD-qo

But look on the bright side, Minnie Van Service is starting back up! 😂

There is a Facebook group called fort wildernesses wandering fire pit you should join, and there is also a Disney Campers Freecycle group to pass along items.

Just announced a sale on select resort rooms this morning. Can’t even get to the page to see the deal. Average wait time to get into the page is 30 minutes. Guess they didn’t use their Covid down time to improve their infrastructure. And I’m guessing the Fort sites won’t be included.

Chapek has stated that he doesn’t like APs because they don’t spend enough $$$. They want fewer people willing to spend a boatload of $$$ during their stay. I fully understand they are a money making business, but they are going to make it too costly for Joe and Jane Average to afford to go to the parks.

So being the first to check in, I’m guessing you got a free stay and lifetime APs?

I love the reason he can’t attend, he has a more important meeting.

Reading posts on other FB pages it seems like Genie + and or LL are causing the standby lines to wait a lot longer than posted times once they enter. Rely queues have been delayed by hours from their arrival times.

Spoke with a barn CM and she said the wagons and carriage rides start Jan 1.

It’s been great. Hoping the forecasted rain on Thursday and Friday fizzles out. I hate packing up wet stuff!

It’s fun but pricey. We enjoyed the big wagon ride better, it went thru the most decorated loops at Christmas. But even though we’ve seen the wagons out training there is no return timeframe for them. And like everything else Disney, the bloggers have ruined both rides by hyping them up so it’s hard to get a reservation. You used to be able to walk up, pay and get on.

We are in 2000 loop and there are still empty sites. Thursday evening about 50% were empty

Did you call the front desk or reservation number? I am looking for a number for the front desk. Thank you.

I meant if you let a friend use the MB to get in the gate, they couldn’t use them to get into a park.

Comfort stations are only locked from midnight to 6. No bands needed to enter pool. If you have bands from previous visits and you’ve kept them active others can use them to get in thru the gate. Just don’t try to use them for a park entrance.

Depends on where you’re coming from and when. All campgrounds down here are getting hard to get even advanced reservations. If you’re coming down by Tampa you might want to try Lazy Days.

TCD, tell us how you really feel! 😄

Hey don’t question Disneys logic! After all 30 foot TT qualify as a pop up, tent, or van camper in the partial loops!

Has anyone gotten the call/email from Disney about leaving the Fort on 10/29, 30, and 31 and going to Port Orleans Riverside, then going back to the Fort to finish their stay?

I think they are doing that to “protect” themselves. Last year for Covid the rules were you couldn’t HAND out candy, but you could leave it on a table for people to pick up on their own.

Same here, that was a great spot
