DaveInTN 3,247 Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Great question Mr. Lou, you surprise me sometimes I agree, the answer to the Cabin question shows a total ignorance of camping, or what camping is about. What do you mean, Mr Lou? You quoted me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No. He won't care about us lowly campers think. He is going to spend all his time at the Lodge and we will be stuck with that site manager. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ftwildernessguy 778 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 We may be better off if he does focus on WL and ignores us. We can start a vigilante squad and enforce the rules ourselves. A mini revolution. I like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lou... 3,118 Posted December 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Joseph, I translated his name into English, as this is America and I'm all for assimilation, was not the GM at the GF. He was only the Rooms Manger, and so has zero experience being a GM. Isn't that special. So Joey, I just gave him that nickname, will be learning on the job. I'm sure he'll be touring the Fort in his GMmobile and will permit the little people to speak with him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alexwyattmommy 181 Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 No he won't. He is not going to let you speak to him unless you cough up some tip money first. Kinda like a maître d Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TnBob 311 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 You never know he may try hard this could be the biggest problem, it seems when Disney moves people around they want to put their stamp on things and change things just to change them. This could be a good thing or this could be a very very bad thing when it comes from someone who has no camping experience, my biggest fear is that he will be more worried about "classing up" the place and catering to the cabin business.

This could be a good thing or this could be a very very bad thing when it comes from someone who has no camping experience, my biggest fear is that he will be more worried about "classing up" the place and catering to the cabin business. That, sometimes may sound like a cliche, however, I come out of front line management with a large organization and over a 40 year career I have seen this happen time after time. Every time a new, upper level manager comes in, he/she would change something, and when they would leave the new replacement would do the same. Many times a new manager would change things back to the way they originally were. Rarely did I see a change that actually helped anything, most of the time the best you could hope for was that the change would be neutral, no better, no worse. Can someone tell me what a Rooms Manager does? Sounds like he supervised the cleaning crew to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Can someone tell me what a Rooms Manager does? Sounds like he supervised the cleaning crew to me. On the flier, it says that his former role was "Operations manager, room operations". I did a search on that job title and nothing came up. I think they worded it that way on the flier because it sounded more impressive than "Executive Housekeeper".That title does come up for all the resorts, including the Fort.It's actually an important position that reports directly to the GM. The Fort's Exec. Housekeeper is Sam Gates. He has the most authority of any manager at the Fort. Duty Managers, Rangers, and Housekeepers, report to him. He's responsible for anything to do with the sites. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 My sources tell me that Jose has already made his first move. This excerpt was taken from the unofficial Fort e-newsletter "Ears, Beers and Blackwater Fears". The 600 loop is going to be converted to Concierge Level, and the Meadow Trading Post is being converted into an exclusive Concierge Lounge. Those staying in 600 will be entitled to lounge access, where a light continental breakfast, afternoon snacks, and nightly desserts will be available for no additional charge. Also, on select evenings, Chef presentations of "Wilderness inspired" appetizers will be provided. Alcoholic beverages will be complimentary during these presentations. Concierge sites start at $460/night. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
