southernview -- Ray 25 Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Many loops are half empty some three-quarters empty and the place looks like a ghost town. The 300 loop and 1600 loop are completely empty and it appears they might be about to do some work on 300 as there is a machine in it. They have put almost everyone on 1700, 1800, and 1900. The 1700 and 1800 have only one empty space in each and 1900 has only 12 empty. Probably just the time of the year, but it's been some time since we have found it this empty. No traffic on the roads and no golf carts to dodge. ImDownWithDisney 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PGHFiend 140 Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Would be neat to see it like that. We are slaves to peak seasons due to our jobs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caveat lector 181 Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 That sounds like the perfect equation for a relaxing Fort visit Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hollywood Studios was pretty busy today and looking at the wait for rides at MK, they were packed. 4 or 5 rides had at least and 80 minute wait over there. I posted under loops but 1600 had 1 class a in there earlier when we rode the bikes through. They were doing tree trimming when we rode by. Not sure about 300 as we didnt head over there. I will agree through, never seen the fort this dead. 1200 is about 2/3 full, 1300 is about the same, 1400 is about 1/3 full, not to sure but 2100 looks dead as well. Tomorrow is a park day but if I get some free time I will try and check out some other loops. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LONE-STAR 370 Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Well a coworker of mine tried to get a reservation for later this month and there was nothing. Only tent sites. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Only tent sites. Not surprising. They clearly block off loops this time of the year so they can do maintenance things. It seems like it is always hard to score a reservation in May, but when you go to the Fort, you will see totally empty loops. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We normally go Mother's Day weekend and it is usually pretty nice. I don't know how packed it will get this weekend with the beginning of the new fireworks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't been back by 300 yet, but they had a small excavator bucket machine in there yesterday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

djsamuel 322 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Checked in today and the place was pretty empty. 300 loop is still closed, but plenty of spots in 100 and 200. Wait for Space Mountain today was 30 minutes. Pirates was 20, and Rides like Little Mermaid and Small World were 10. Stayed for the next to last Wishes, and it was a bit more crowded then. I think tomorrow will be crowded for the last Wishes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We had a report a couple of weeks ago that the 1300 loop was closed for paving. I came across this Notice of Commencement from a paving contractor- it looks like they will be doing repaving in the maintenance parking lot and at the cabin pool as well: There was a post on this board about paving going on in the main parking lot this week. That work isn't covered by this NOC. Is the main parking lot being repaved? TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The signs out front are not descriptive and the machines they had up there look like they are just to reseal everything. They had about half the lot closed yesterday or the day before. I dodnt payattention when I just came through there to see where things are. May ride up there later on the bike and take a look and see where things are at. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 I was in 2000 once when it emptied out after a weekend. It was almost too empty. Maybe 4 campers in the whole loop the last two nights...... Spooky.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rtguy007 74 Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Just rode the bike around some and it is starting to fill back in. Probably the weekend warriors. Also rode back up front. Currently the lot directly beside the outpost is closed. Sign says repaving and striping but wht they have done just appears to be resealed and striped. The remaining portion of the overflow lots are open and pretty full tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Missed you again, rode by your site right before dark and no one was there. We rode our bikes over to Wilderness Lodge and were just coming back from there about the time you were out riding around 9:45 or so. Sorry, we missed you, we are leaving in the morning.
