MissyDisneyPin 0 Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Hello All, This morning I was informed by a Facebook user, that FW will no longer allow you to put a tent on your Premium Site . I will have my Motorhome but the kiddos want to sleep in a tent. Is that true? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 First I've heard of it. If they do, they'll need to stop the 3 or 4 tents and 5 families on one site in the tent loops ? Someine else will be along shorty to confirm or deny. Have a great trip!

michaeljsz 5 Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Hi ya all, I'm really interested in seeing where this thread goes. We're coming down to the fort in 26 more days and booked a premium site with the hopes of putting up a tent for the kids as well. MissyDisneyPin 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 This is an old rumor that resurfaces from time to time. It has been discussed here many times, and there have been lengthy threads addressing it. A couple of examples: There apparently is something addressing this subject on an internal Disney site. But that incorrect information has been floating around for years. It has always been and is still OK to have a tent on a premium site at the Fort.

There is a lot of confusion and wrong information out there, but you can always come here for correct answers to your questions. It would be a simple thing for Disney to print clear explanations of what is provided and what is allowed and not allowed on each level of campsite. But, they just have never been able to do that. When you posted your question, I checked the official Disney site to see if any new information was posted there. Of course, I had to plug in dates for a proposed trip before I could even see a description of the campsites. Here is what Disney tells potential guests about the different campsite categories: They start out pretty good with the description of the Tent or Pop-up Sites. And the full hook-up site description isn't bad. It tells you that RV's and tents are OK on those sites, and that you get a sewer hook-up. But then look at the description for a preferred campsite. Is an RV OK on those sites? It doesn't say. Apparently tents are OK, because they show one in the photo. What about a sewer hook-up? Doesn't say. Then look at the Premium description. It doesn't say anything about tents. Does that mean they're not allowed? Apparently, that's how some people interpret it, and I think that's where the persistent rumors come from. It says some premium sites allow pets. There's no mention of pets on the full hook up or preferred sites, but we all know that all of the full hook up sites are pet friendly, as is one of the preferred loops. I think it's safe to say that the majority of people that Disney has answering their phones have never stepped foot on the grounds of Fort Wilderness. All they know is what Disney provides on their computer monitors. As you can see, Disney does a horrible job with that. TCD MissyDisneyPin 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seals 111 Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 "Views of Woods" as one of two features of the Preferred sites, and only the Preferred sites, just cracks me up, especially since all the categories have photos with pictures of trees. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LOL. I didn't notice that. It's a good thing they let us know that we will have a view of woods at a campground. Maybe they're going to cut all the woods down on the other loops?

ftwildernessguy 778 Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 A bus driver told me that the Premium sites will soon only allow Prevost Class A's and sufficient foliage will be planted to block any views of poor campers who may have travel trailers or tents.
