Thought about you and all the other campers, especially the ones in tents, pop-ups or hybrids.
Same here, considering a Tropical Storm was formed out of that mess. We had tornados touch down just south of us on the East Coast.

Thanks for the update, TCD! I agree that given a choice, I'd opt for 1600-1800 over this loop.
I agree with you, but not that there is more sites available, I wouldn't turn my nose up to this loop. A site at the Fort is generally better than a site elsewhere.

If you've been at the AoA pool, you know the MB reader is pretty much a joke, as everyone holds the gate open for each other.
This is true, and I've actually had the same thing at Bay Lake Tower pool as well.

Local news, WFTV, reported a story that a firework from the Star Wars show went rogue. I haven't been able to watch the video as my wifi out here is spotty.

The funny thing is that there isn't going to be a new attraction, parade or show at a WDW theme park for a year or more!
Plenty of time to implement the changes prior to AP holders getting to enjoy the new attractions under the old system with the old prices and restrictions...or lack thereof

I saw a picture floating around earlier tonight of a can of OFF! brand spray next to that information card. I assume there is some kind of business/sponsorship deal going on, unless this was an over night decision and they went to the local Costco/BJs/SAMs and bought the inventory. We'll be there September 22nd, so I'll see if we get one.

Enjoy it!

Disney is now giving out Cutter mosquito spray to hotel guests at check in as part of their mosquito prevention program. They also have stations set up at Disney Springs and the parks for guests to give themselves a spray. I wonder if we will get the same treatment upon check in at The Fort?

I can't for the life of me imagine a scenario where they would ever reuse that pool. They're never going to reopen a water park there, and if they ever build a DVC resort, that pool is so outdated in design it would never be considered part of a high end pool complex IMO. The shape is outdated, the depth is outdated, it needs resurfacing, recoping, redesigning and resurrecting. Any hope of the pool or any other component of River Country being reopened someday is just delusional nostalgia.
I agree 100%, my guess is this was just the cheapest and fastest way to remove that liability. What does it cost to have some truckloads of dirt and a crew to fill it versus a complete demolition where I assume you would still have to truck some fill into the site once everything was removed? This is a forgotten corner of property to the general public, so a quick and easy job was probably their goal. Get it done and move on.

Apparently the Disney quote in the Sentinel was correct that there were no immediate plans for further demolition.

From today's Orlando Sentinel. "Disney said it has no immediate plans to tear down any other remaining parts of the park, some of which can be seen from Bay Lake. Disney said the work had been planned for a while now."

Your best bet is to call Disney and get a TW (traveling with) number and link your reservation to their's. That will be the best and easiest way to ensure you guys will be together. They may even sprinkle some pixie dust and upgrade you guys to a Full Hook Up site for free to place you near your family..

What TCD said. We were in 327 with a 26' TT in July 2015 and it was super tight. Your rig is considerably larger than mine. We actually stayed there before the new yellow lines were painted to "widen" the road and we were still cramped for space. If you can, I recommend upgrading to a premium site and requesting the 600 loop. The 600 loop is really the only loop that would allow good satellite exposure.

So I guess I should take my pillow cases and Howdy Doody mask back to Walmart and find another plan for Halloween?

I agree with the majority, I do feel my belongs are safe at The Fort, however I will lock up. If someone really wants something, they will get it from you whether it's locked or not, so I'm mainly just keeping the honest people honest and preventing the opportunistic thieves from running off with something of ours.

I will be at the show this weekend, as long as I make it home from work on time

Awesome! Thanks for finding this Mo!

Well if you're looking to sell carts to a targeted, captive audience, why not book a few nights at the Fort and put on a show? Great advertising opportunity and a business write off to boot! :)
This seems to be the most logical explanation. And I like it. I wonder if I could start a one cart rental service and "advertise" it at The Fort, then write it off.

Last year we were in a site that had a couple of deposits. Don't know if they were from a previous occupant or someone just wandering by the site. We didn't have a dog at that tie, and we try to be more observant for our new fur ball.
I would venture a guess to say that was someone just wandering by. Those guys are pretty efficient at cleaning the sites fro, the previous occupant, including the surrounding "wooded" area around the site.

A friend of mine suggested Disney's Hollywood Adventure.
