jlf 7 Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 We are here at the Ft and took our usual golf cart tour. We were amazed to see so many Class B's and C's in the 2000 loop. I always thought, or the rules used to be, only tents and pop ups were permitted in loops 1500 and 2000. Is this a way of having a cheaper rate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Nothing new to see here. People with Class C's and A's intentionally reserve sites in the tent loops to save money. And Disney is happy to take their money. That 10 person per site limit is also merely a suggestion. If you want to put 20 screaming teenagers and a half dozen or more tents on one site, come on down. Park as many cars as you can fit on the site, and set up your tents wherever you can find the space. Feel free to soup up your golf cart so it can exceed the measly Fort speed limit. That way you can pass the stopped buses faster. And please don't feel obligated to actually rent a campsite. You are more than welcome to unload your coolers, charcoal and other supplies at the 1500 loop bus stop and spend the entire day enjoying the pool for free. You are welcome to use the 1500 loop comfort station to take showers before heading to the free campfire and movie.

jlf 7 Posted March 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Everytime we come here, nothing is the same. Went to the Luau last night for our anniversary like we do every year. They asked us if we checked in at the Polynesian Resort. Huh? Never done that in the last 15 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fortpartyof4 108 Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 when we were there last month there was a (smaller) 5th wheel in the 2000 loop! Had to do a double take! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
michelb 3 Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 I've always thought it was just tents and popups but Disney reservations website says : Quote Tent or Pop-Up Campsite Room for either a pop-up or camper van-type vehicle plus a tent or 2 tents Accommodates equipment up to 10 feet by 60 feet While Full Hook-up sites say the same except adds " Sewage hook-up " So it would certainly permit ClassBs and I guess, to them, they don't really make a huge distinction and probably allow anyone in that doesn't mind not having the sewer hook-up.

Wow, so all those times I tried to get a site and the only ones available were "Tent or Pop-Up Campsites" I should have gone ahead and booked it?? All this time I assumed that those sites were for Tents or Pop-Ups only..... silly me! I guess the new rule at the Fort is there are no real rules. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dgpace 0 Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Several weeks ago my wife was down there with our small class c. They had oversold and asked her if putting her in one of those spots would be ok. The reasoning was the the loop was tight and our Winnebago Fuse could maneuver into the spots. She was fine with it since the price was better, but there was no sewer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly, I've experienced the same thing several times !!! It never even occurred to me that we could use them with an RV. I don't really care about the sewer since when we go to Fort Wilderness, it's often just for 2 or 3 days and I often don't even bother connecting the sewer for short stays like that. Our moho is relatively large (40') so I'd probably want to drive around the loop to make sure we can fit before booking but it's something I'll keep in mind for future trips (especially if it's just 1 night to complete the trip (e.g. we want 4 nights but can only get 3 nights in a regular site ...).

I hope it's a diesel you're driving, and that you start that baby up early when you pull out after your short stay. The tent campers won't mind. Much. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Whoah, this thread is getting a bit ridiculous. Yes the website says, popups, van campers, and tents. I don't think any of us are advocating that folks with large buses or TTs purposely book those sites. What we are saying is that smaller campers that don't have/need sewer connections are probably within the spirit of their rules. Seriously, do ya'll think that 8 - 20 foot small campers that just don't happen to have tent ends are not appropriate for those loops. The website is crap. The CMs, managers, know the website is crap, and use their own judgment regarding what is in the loops. Get a grip. I've stayed in that loop with my T@B many, many times. I didn't hide my unit from CMs when checking in, and they didn't blink an eye. Let's gripe about the dangerous stuff, the disruptive stuff, the loss of customer service, and don't let the little stuff worry us. fladogfan aka Gretchen 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
