Dryadi 0 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Hi!I am new to the group so I apologize if this message comes out wrong ...I will be camping in April with another friend. I made both reservations under my name . How can I be assured that I will get two premium sites together ?Thanks ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Welcome! I am not sure of the answer, but I know there are folks here who will. Hope you stick around and join the fun! :welcome2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ftwildernessguy 778 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I'm pretty sure you can't guarantee it. You can request, but the probablility of adjacent sites is pretty slim. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We did have one site across the street, but 3 next to each other. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YodaGirl 13 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 We tried that in 2006. The two sites were supposed to be side by side. When we got there, they were not. A not-so-happy CM did eventually move our sites (had to switch loops). So, while it can be done, from my experience, it's not a guarantee. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marilyn 19 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 You could try calling FTW front desk @ 407-824-2727 and ask them to link the reservations. There is no guarantee but they try to work with you the best they can. It depends on the availability. Good Luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brent... Just Brent 83 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I'm speaking from past experiences so someone may come along and let me know if something has changed. The way I've done it, and it worked, was to make sure the reservations were linked. At one time you could do it on your reservation online, but I've also called with both reservation numbers and ask that the other person's be linked to mine. They did the same and it worked.I'd also fax a request in about 5 days prior to arrival with the reservation numbers and request that you be side by side. The fax request info can be found here: http://www.fortfiends.net/forum/topic/79-fort-wilderness-faq/ (Sorry I couldn't make it a link, but that toolbar isn't showing up for some reason)If you get there and the sites aren't side by side, you can always request (pester) at the front desk to make it happen. I know we did that once at a value and it worked out just fine.I'll wait for Carol to chime in. She's the expert at such things.Oh, and welcome! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YodaGirl 13 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Ours were linked. Unfortunately, it's taken until just recently to get our names and addresses unlinked from each other. >.< We called multiple times, and each time they supposedly corrected it. Each time, mail was still sent to wrong addresses, etc. It was a nightmare. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 740 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I've had the same experience as Brent. Had the ressies linked and we had side by side sites.Also when we returned from the cruise last week we drove around looking for sites before checking back in. 114 & 116 were open so I asked for 116. I was then told that there were two people traveling together and those sites were set aside for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Persistence, nagging, and swearing at the CMs, ok skip the last one, I made that up, is the key. Except for the first week, April is a slow month so you have that going for you.I think as long as you stay on top of it, you should be ok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I've had the same experience as Brent. Had the ressies linked and we had side by side sites.Ditto - and just this past November. But it is true that Disney won't guarantee that you'll be right next to each other. Good luck and WELCOME!!

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Yup, definitely call reservations and have the sites linked, then reiterate about 5 days ahead with a fax.Personally for two campers, I'd actually prefer two sites across from each other, then one camper is not looking at the "backside" of the other camper.
