March 2019 Fort Rec Calendar

LOL-i was hoping for “Remember the Titans” and “Miracle” double feature nightly, but hey beggars can’t be choosers. -
On Wednesday night our Boat Captain announced the Fort Marina was going to be REPLACED with a new marina that will be SHARED with Reflections. Makes me sad. Sounds like the Fort is going to have a shared "Lake Walk" area and lose what makes it so unique and precious to us all.

What's wrong with the frame? - Today

Sorry you had to stop camping , but I understand the cost of the fort pushing you out. I use to not give it a second thought booking a trip to Disney but when I look at what it cost now it's just really hard to book it. Keep posting though, next you will buy a small motor home, it will be great for driving to motels.

We’re Done

You're still a FORT FIEND... We haven't camped for 2 yrs, but everybody's still stuck with me posting....😂 -
Well, I’m bittersweet to say we sold our camper (again)..lol. We were avid fort campers for 11 great years and made many great memories. I believe we camped there when the fort was still considered a hidden gem. Unfortunately the prices just pushed us out. I’m not posting to bash Disney or say the prices just got out of hand, but just to say thank you for giving us great memories and experiences. We met some great campers over the years especially TCD (Andrew). We always looked forward to your great trip reports and your love of Disney. Not that anyone really cares here, but I’m probably going to become more of a lurker here from time to time instead of a poster since we won’t be camping any longer. I hope many people can afford to experience the fort like we did and be able to cope with the future changes of the new river country resort. Thanks for the memories Walt 😊

They are doing a Lemonade Mouth marathon every night in March. -

If by chance you end up looking at hotels let me know I have a couple we like, they are in Shipsweanna but probably not cheaper then a cabin. Also let me know when you'll be there as we will be there from the end of July thru mid August for the FROG rally. -
Yup

LOL! I was actually surprised to find out we've apparently got bunnies in the yard leaving "treats" behind and my dogs don't seem in the least bit interested. -

I am out of the loop now....but if anyone has access to the recreation calendars, please post for March when it becomes available. Thanks! -
This reminds me of how we give our dog small round training treats and how excited he was to find that the deer were leaving piles of them in the yard for him.

Ha... so now I do another search and that campground pulls up -
I also hope that they are (very) careful to preserve the Fort. I do have my doubts though, hopefully I'm wrong.

Thank you. They didn't pull up when I tried to search the area, so I appreciate it. They are less expensive than the KOA, but it's all one room so that's something I'll need to consider. RV Hall of Fame and Museum? Yep... definitely need to do that. That and (hopefully) a couple factory tours (do they do those??). Hot mess though. Would much rather the rig not need a repair, but thankful that our dealership fought for us and Keystone agreed to take it back. They've agreed to pay for our gas (which less face it, is much less than paying for a transport), but now I need them to agree to paying our nightly rate. We have the neurotic pup so, that limits us. Plus, I need a small kitchen area so I can cook meals. Keystone told me they wanted 2-3 weeks for this silly repair (which is ridiculous). I told them I wanted accommodations paid for and they could have 9 business days. So... we'll see. Hopefully they'll do right by us. Thanks again for the recommendations. -
We've only stayed at Elkhart Campground up there. It was fairly nice, and has cabin rentals. I know nothing about the cabins though. In any case, might be worth checking out as it has to be cheaper than the KOA. Off topic...but go eat at the Essenhaus. And be sure to visit the RV Hall of Fame and Museum.

I hope so also. But in the end the bean counters will always win. If they can cut down a 1000 trees and increase their bottom line $100 they will do it.

I would think it will have its own boat. I know someone involved with this. He said a big concern of his and others is how it will affect the atmosphere at Fort Wilderness. They've been working to minimize the impact since the charm and the feeling of isolation of Fort Wilderness is what makes it so special. Hopefully they will be able to strike the balance. He thinks in the end it will be very nice. I hope so.

So... the frame on our rig has never been right. Our dealership has fought with Keystone and they have agreed to take it back. I don't trust any transport company (I've seen too many of those fly by me on the interstate), so we are taking the rig up there and staying until the work is complete. I'm looking at the KOAs in the area, as we'll need a cabin. Is anyone familiar with the KOAs near Elkhart? This is for the month of July.

Epcot News - new Play Pavilion and park entrance

Sounds cool, but wasn't that what Wonders of Life used to be? A play pavilion about fitness? -
Dog Park Closed
BradyBzLyn...Mo replied to DebbieT11's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
Oh dear. Yeah "all natural" fertilizer tends to be really tempting for dogs. Try walking a border collie through a field where sheep have been grazing sometime. Aside from the "face paint" from rolling around, some dogs will totally binge on the free "snacks" . LOL -

Disney has a limitless supply of natural fertilizer to help that grass grow....just down the road at the horse barn. Of course, that's probably not a good idea. INC and I had the bright idea a couple of years ago to work some of our horse manure into the front beds before planting flowers. I filled up the front loader from the pasture with nice manure, and we worked it into the soil, then planted flowers. And that's when we found out that Golden doodles and Maltipoos LOVE digging up manure for a snack. The flowers didn't fare so well. And neither did the dogs tummies.
