ftwildernessguy 778 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Be sure to give them your dimensions when you reserve, and if you get to your site and you can't get in, but you see another vacant site that will work, call the front desk from the nearest comfort station and ask them to swap sites for you. I have done this a couple times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted June 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Do they have a place to park bikes near the meadows pool? As we no longer have dogs, I was thinking about the 1400 but only since it's easy in and out to the campfire, meadow area... but if they have places to park bikes...

Brent... Just Brent 83 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Yes, there's a bike rack near the pool. Depending on where you are in the 1400 loop, though, it may be easier to walk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jsh...Joyce 11 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 We usually stay in the 1400 loop and love it. Our granddaughter is always with us and she loves the easy access to the pool and game room. Choose the Big Bear loop which is on the outside and most sites are easy to get into.

.....Gary 85 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Go to the loops information thread. Most have deminsions AND pictures. When you find some you think you like look them up on google earth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Retired & Tired (Judy) 90 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 When we check in we drive to the site they have assigned us. If DH can not get the trailer and the RV backed in, we call the front desk and suggest other sites. Last December we had to try 3 o4 sites and the CM helping us was wonderful. Ended up in the perfect one right across from the Comfort Station, which we needed. :mh1: :camp1: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Disneyzombie-Brenda 10 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 We always stay in 1400, Big Bear loop, close to the CS. I can't remember the numbers...want to say 1432. We have a 38 foot 5th wheel.....plenty of space. Backs up to the canal. Really close to the camp fire, bike barn and the pool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm really in love with those giant sites in the back along the canal in 1400, but I was thinking that the campfire/movie might be obnoxiously loud if you're that close to it. Thoughts?

Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 I am thinking of faxing in three sites from the 1400 (close to the comfort station) and 2 from the 600 close to the path to the campfire (thus not too far from the 1400 CS).Dh may never go preferred again.

I need to pay better attention.If you no longer need a pet loop, then your plan sounds good.Those sites are all in good locations.And I will really LOL if you get 617,TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Although I did plan out my ADRs for the dining plan(DH insisted on not cooking on his vacation). I planned them all for lunch time except Chef Mickey's and SOA so that we could park hop. I am taking advice from TCD. I plan on checking into Fastpasses.... I will relax. I will just wonder around the park... I will spend time at the Fort playing. I will make pie for Lou.

I'm really in love with those giant sites in the back along the canal in 1400, but I was thinking that the campfire/movie might be obnoxiously loud if you're that close to it. Thoughts?You can hear the campfire and movie, it's not obnoxiously loud, it really doesn't bother us. The campfire is usually over by the time we settle in....we usually stay late at the parks. The coulple sites that back right up to the campfire are really big. I can't remember the numbers. I think 1432 or 33. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
