Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 The Disney Parks Blog officially announced the new barn: https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2019/08/whoa-horses-at-disneys-fort-wilderness-resort-campground-to-receive-beautiful-new-barn/ this part was a surprise to me: Starting August 19, the Draft Horse Barn and Pony Farm will temporarily be inaccessible to guests until the new barn debuts in Spring 2020. Guests can still enjoy Pony rides at the Trail Blaze Corral near the campground’s entrance, and the resort’s trail rides and carriage rides will continue to operate as normal. Wow. That's not much notice for anyone hoping for a final visit to the old barn. TCD BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Whoa! (pun totally intended) that is one fancypants new barn! But yeah, not much notice. Basically if you're not there this weekend you're out of luck. Tri-Circle-D 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Duane 152 Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 I know it says the old barn will not be accessible, but I wonder if they are still going to physically house the horses there or move them somewhere else while the new barn is constructed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess I will have to do what I have to do. 29 minutes ago, Duane said: I know it says the old barn will not be accessible, but I wonder if they are still going to physically house the horses there or move them somewhere else while the new barn is constructed. Good question. I figure they're ready to tear the old barn down, so I'm guessing the horses will be relocated somewhere temporarily. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Memphis 105 Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Wow, It's just hitting me that the last time I was at the fort we did several things that it's looking like we did for the last time ever. I always thought I would be able go back and enjoy old favorites. Things always change I guess. I am afraid by the time I do get to come back I won't know the place at all.

rtguy007 74 Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 If that is the new barn I am glad they kept with the theme of the fort. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kadancer 82 Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 We were fortunate enough to be at the Fort to visit the barn one last time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
