Andrew Roberts 17 Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 So I have been at the fort for over two weeks now and Christmas was awesome. But i have noticed something fishy. There is an RV close to me (not say where because I don't want anyone to mess with it) No one has been in or out of this site for over two weeks now. Not really sure how I feel about this. On one hand you know its safe and secure. but the cost alone to leave it in a site over christmas just to store it. And then really people are begging for sites for the holiday and you left an RV in a site unused? And then maybe someone got sick and had to go. I actually even told the front desk cause maybe they are dead in there (no smell yet AC could be way down) What do you guys think Is this taking advantage of your wealth or ok to do? Im on the fence Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Grumpy and Grandma 740 Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 There used to be 1 site that was occupied by a unit belonging to a dealer who let employees use it. It was there 365 days a yr since they had an agreement with Disney.n Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cortezcapt (Derek) 156 Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Could be on a cruise, although I would have emptied my fridge and moved it out to the overflow lot. But if you have the money to leave it on a site. Could also be people wintering who went somewhere for the holidays but wanted to keep their same site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PGHFiend 140 Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 I saw this same thing in the 100 loop over multiple spring break trips. There was the same 45 foot MH for the whole week and no one ever showed up the entire week, and it was also in the same spot over those years. On a cruise maybe?

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Although not as many as in the past, there are still a few long term and/or winter folks there, and perhaps moving the trailer out for a short bit is more trouble than paying the money. If the site is being paid for, I don't see an issue with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Roberts 17 Posted December 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 I know what it has cost me to be in this site the last two weeks and I sure wish I had that kind of disposable income. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Me too! But look at it this way, better to have that site as a neighbor than one of the many large groups that have descended on the Fort the last couple of years. Empty camper means no noise, no racing golfcarts, no people blocking the road, taking over the CS, etc etc..... But I do agree it is annoying for the rest of us who can't get a site to know it's just sitting there unused.... it's only one step above an unused Phantom Site......

LONE-STAR 370 Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Maybe there a large family and they just put a Rv there for magic bands. But really there are 15 people crammed into a dvc at the Grand Floridian. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I spoke to a guy at the dog run a few years ago who just had his RV in the fort for his dg to stay in while the rest of his family was at the Lodge. He or his wife would just bus over a couple times a day to take him to the dog park and make sure there was fresh food and water for him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know whether to feel glad or sad for the dog..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Roberts 17 Posted December 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Meet them they went home for the holidays and a few other personal things they needed to attend to. just easier for them to leave it her then move it and risk losing the site. I can understand the whats and whys (hope I can afford to do the same when I retire) very nice people (they may be reading this) but they are still nice people Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I mean I guess the dog was probably happier then being boarded somewhere but geez. I'd rather stay at the Fort with the dog. 7 hours ago, Andrew Roberts said: Meet them they went home for the holidays and a few other personal things they needed to attend to. just easier for them to leave it her then move it and risk losing the site.

Compared to the cost of fuel, time and mileage to drive or take the RV. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
