Preferred vs Full Hookup

[Theed31u 10]

We have been to the Fort a few times and have always stayed in the full hookup 1700 loop.  We first stayed in the back of the loop and fell in love with the sites around site 1719.  When booking for this June there were 2 out of 14 days that were blocking us from getting a full hookup site so now we are in preferred and not sure how we will like it.  

Are there any advantages to any of the preferred loops?  We are a family of 6 with kids that love to ride bikes, is there one loop that might be better to let the kids ride?  

I'm trying to see if it is worth our time to keep checking for availability of full hookup or just go with the preferred.

Thanks!

The alleged advantage of the preferred loops (100, 200, and 300) is the close proximity to the Settlement area. The 100 and 200 loops are very close to the Settlement. There is a nice playground there and the new horse barn is nice to visit. However, even the Fort management recognized the dubious advantage of being close to the Settlement by rebranding the loops close to the Meadow area and jacking up the rates for those sites.  As far as bike riding goes, the loops aren’t the best place for kids to ride, but there are plenty of other sidewalks and areas around the Settlement and Meadow areas for that, and there is also a very nice trail that runs along Bay Lake between the Settlement area and the 300 loop.

So we have been watching for full hookup and decided to go full hookup.  We did end up getting reservations starting June 15th and extended it through July 1st.  With how the 4th of July falls we should be able to drive and be back to our regular spot on July 3rd.

I would call Disney everyday to see if anything opens up.  That's what we have done in the past.  Personally, we love the full hook up sites.

we like the premium meadow sites.  The 800 and 1000 loops are nice and we enjoyed them both.  We were in the 800 loop last June and in the 1000 loop in mid March.

I'm so glad to hear that people like full hook up sites. We have always been in tent pop up sites.

 With are new to us travel trailer we are booked in full hook up in September.
