Starbuc71 162 Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 This was a long time coming but they are finally fencing in the meadows pool. I know we won't get a card reader on the gate, but I think we needed the fence. Makes me think the chain link is temporary at the playground since this fence fits the fort better Avatab....

Seals 111 Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 And not just a fence, but a place to hang towels! BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Wow. I honestly thought they'd never do it. It's interesting how much of the grass they are fencing out. On busy days, people use that grass as overflow for the pool deck. Now that they're fencing it, they're going to need to do something to keep the freeloaders out. I'll believe that when I see it.

Starbuc71 162 Posted July 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 I'll try to snap a picture of the big green monster around the kiddie pool looks like they are removing it. Maybe adding more lounges or tables. Looks like the new mgr of the fort may be actually making a difference Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Travisma 1,317 Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 When we were there over the 4th they had the little purple utility marker flags (sprinkler line) all around the pool deck and on the 5th someone was going all around the outside of the deck with a tape measure. Now I know what it was for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm surprised they didn't put some sort of pictures, posters, notices, etc. on it to make it blend in a little bit.. It is a big eyesore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Thanks for the updates!! I'm was starting to think this was never going to happen too. It's been years(?) since they announced that all the pools were going to be fenced. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbuc71 162 Posted July 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Saw this also tonight i wonder if it's only a matter of time before every waterway, creek or drainage has some sort of fence around it. If that's the case, the 1900 loop would look like a line for the jungle boat cruise..lol BradyBzLyn...Mo, Avatab.... Steve and arthuruscg 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 That fence along the 300 loop canal is unbelievable. What a waste of money! I wish I owned the company that is selling Disney all those posts and rope. If they're doing this, then they are going to have to put fences along every canal in the Fort. Stupid.

(sigh) Well on the plus side, the next time Brady decides he's going to saunter over and and try to go for a swim, I won't have to scramble to grab his butt before he makes it in. "...the 1900 loop would look like a line for the jungle boat cruise..lol" LOL!! Indeed it will!! And thanks again for all the updates and pics. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starbuc71 162 Posted July 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Here is the green monster at the pool. Also, they drained the main pool last night. We have a couple more hours to wait. Baby Ruth? BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Wow, I didn't know what you meant by the Green Monster. What in the world is going on? It looks like the spray area is still operating behind that wall. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I knew that, but I didn't think about the little kiddie pool when I saw that big green wall. 11 minutes ago, Starbuc71 said: i think they fenced off the trail next to the lake to your favorite spot. Ill take pics later That makes me sad. But, I know that CM's use that path, so I expect that they'll keep the path open. I'll still be able to see over those useless little rope fences.

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 I don't even want to think about how high they're going to jack up the campsite rates to pay for all of this! TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TCD Which likely means the Christmas price of a tent site will zoom past the $120 mark of this year to what - maybe $145 or higher? Sure does put our plans on the back burner Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbuc71 162 Posted July 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 The 2017 pricing for a campsite will be the deciding factor if sell the camper next year or boycott the fort. We are paying $138 a night for two nights of this 6 night stay . I refuse to pay over $140-$150 a night for a concrete pad. I got to get my kids a job here Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I got to get my kids a job here I just looked at the cost today for US Dollars - based on the current exchange rate the $120 per night will be $155.62 Canadian !!!! Dear lord - for a tent site. Well we definitely won't be staying at Disney this year, if we even go down. Seriously horrible. 3 hours ago, BradyBzLyn...Mo said: Hmm... anybody want to rent me an employment-age kid? ME TOO!!!!
