Discamper 394 Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 I was in the 100 loop yesterday there is no one in there no RV's no tent or Motor home's. Was told the Fort was sold out but most loops or 1/2 full. Why does Disney do this to us Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Retired and Happy (Ken) 101 Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Sometimes there is some kind of overhaul planned for a particular loop and they must get everyone out of that loop before starting....water, sewer, cable, electrical, paving. They try to get this done in the lesser busy seasons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djsamuel 322 Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 The 100 loop was closed in May for work. However, there was a broken water pipe on that loop last weekend (July 18th). Maybe that is the issue for the 100 loop. Also, I've noticed it is becoming very difficult to find reservations less than a week. If I extend my stay, I get much more availability. Perhaps this policy is backfiring. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Discamper 394 Posted July 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 We tried to book 2 cabins no luck but most cabin loops look like they there less then 1/2 full Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Were you trying to book just the weekend or longer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Over the 4th of July weekend, there were two entire cabin loops closed and fenced off. They appear to be replacing all of the porches on the cabins entirely. That's a lot of rooms to take off-line during a busy time of the year. The fact that they are replacing all of the porches suggests to me that the existing cabins, some of which have now been in service for 15+ years, are not going to be replaced any time soon.

FEARtheEERS 18 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I saw cabin loops closed with porches or decks being replaced. The 2 in 100 got new porches also and some new wood on the sides. Also one morning I was out on the golf cart super early and saw 2 cars parked in the grass at the 4 way stop close to the exit where the chip and dale sign is located. I was kind of going slow looking at these cars when a guy rolls down his window in a Chevy Impala and asked if I had seen construction going on. Said he was lost. I said no and went on since the area was super quiet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
articfox676 11 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 On a bike ride through loop 100 on Monday they were pouring a cement patio with what looks like a stone fireplace for the two cabins. You can see more from the new path that runs behind the two cabins. I know no pictures and it didn't happen. Sorry no pics. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tuke 16 Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Was there in May and wondered the same thing. Along that same line of thought, I also noticed that 100-200 landscaping and grass appeared a bit unkempt as comparied with other loops. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
~Kristina~ 10 Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 I hope 100 is back open now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djsamuel 322 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 I hope 100 is back open now!Just got back yesterday, and the 100 loop was fine. We were in the 200 loop, and there were only a handful of sites occupied there. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

djsamuel 322 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Thanks for the update. Hope you had a great time!Thanks. We had a great time, and the Fort was really empty. The 200 loop was about 20% full. Other loops were running much higher, 50 - 60%, so I think the 200 loop was being emptied for maintenance, but who knows. In any event, a very nice weekend that started with an amazing thunderstorm Thursday night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
