I tried to find it, but couldn't.If this is for the Fort's BBQ pavilion, this might be a reference to the new pavilion. If it is, this is big news. It means that the DVC is starting to move forward.TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Live4FW 30 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Maybe just maybe it is for the existing pavillion? Meaning that the DVC may be shelved. Hey I can hope can't I? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Judy in Texas 150 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 I talked to Kristin, Fort Wilderness front end manager, today while waiting for the Magical Express. She said that all cabins are scheduled for refurbishment in 2014 and that refurbishment means total replacement. She said their planning meetings start this week and one thing they hear from customers is the need to separate the toilet from the rest of the bathroom. I suggested that some of the cabins be designed for fewer people with a queen bed only in the bedroom. She didn't buy it since they average 5 people per cabin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted October 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 I do vaguely remember that some of the original Wilderness Homes did not have bunkbeds Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Judy in Texas 150 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 I faxed front end manager Kristin a letter today thanking her for taking the time to chat with her customers. I also expounded on my desire for at least a few of the cabins to be designed for adults only. I said the reason most cabins are rented by families and not couples is the single double bed stuck in the corner. A couple or a couple of friends don't want to pay that much $$ only to have one of them sleep against the wall and have to climb over the other to get in and out of bed. We'll see what happens.

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Do you ever get the feeling that the people who run the Fort don't "get" the Fort? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted October 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Disney itself doesn't "get" the Fort......I mean something just hit me, this forum works off Google Ads, which keys off of what we are talking about and we are talking about Fort Wilderness all day, every day. Yes we see lots of Disney "specials" ads and other disney ads. Lots for AoA, and some specific to other resorts. However, I have NEVER seen a Disney Fort Wilderness ad pop up on the ads up top or on the bottom, EVER!!!Granted they may not have specials, but you'd think they could create a targeted Google banner ad or two for the Fort.
