I thought the same thing....lol

Should we start the whole "Florida grey water dumping laws" discussion again?  Seems to come up every year about this time, when the dishwashers appear at the Fort.  

I thought I'd post a thread where fiends could post things strange, new or whatever during thanksgiving week. Here a few I saw
1.
this was only parked for a day near the DVC kiosk. Never saw it before. 
2.
new whatever's being built by the lodge.  Back when I was here in July, they were just clearing the land.  They look huge.  I think I counted 16 on each side of the lodge
3. Empty sites
as of Tuesday morning, there are 13 empty sites on the 2000 loop, 8 between 1600-1900 and 3 on the 1500 loop.  I haven't checked the rest yet but I'm sure there are at least 10-15 more between the other loops  The new loop looks nice   It has 3 empty sites
4. Refrigerator group
i thought I was going to report no sighting of the large group who are always here that bring a full size fridge and dishwasher but I was wrong. They are on the 1500 loop with (3) full size fridges and at least (2) full size dishwashers....no comment
5. Fence frenzy update
looks like all fencing is complete at the fort. All 3 playgrounds are now all fenced in with black chain links and gates. The pool fencing is complete (with no card readers) and most of the water eats in common areas gave the rope fencing. Creeks/canals behind most sites just have gator and wildlife signs posted 
6. Less merchandise is offered at the trading post than years past.  It looks like less toys and clothing 
7. No main tree near trails end as of yet and a lot of garland not lit on trails end
8. Seems all the buses have a digital sign on the back that says do not pass. Also it looks like all the buses were retro fit with HID lights. They are all super bright now. 
9. Epcot has minimal holiday decorations compared to other parks  Maybe this was always so   Future world continues to become more pathetic   
 
Going to Disney springs tonight  will report on new things 
 

You are welcome!
There is a lot of confusion and wrong information out there, but you can always come here for correct answers to your questions.
It would be a simple thing for Disney to print clear explanations of what is provided and what is allowed and not allowed on each level of campsite.  But, they just have never been able to do that.
When you posted your question, I checked the official Disney site to see if any new information was posted there.  Of course, I had to plug in dates for a proposed trip before I could even see a description of the campsites.  Here is what Disney tells potential guests about the different campsite categories:

They start out pretty good with the description of the Tent or Pop-up Sites.  And the full hook-up site description isn't bad.  It tells you that RV's and tents are OK on those sites, and that you get a sewer hook-up.  But then look at the description for a preferred campsite.  Is an RV OK on those sites?  It doesn't say.  Apparently tents are OK, because they show one in the photo.  What about a sewer hook-up?  Doesn't say.  Then look at the Premium description.  It doesn't say anything about tents.  Does that mean they're not allowed?  Apparently, that's how some people interpret it, and I think that's where the persistent rumors come from.  It says some premium sites allow pets.  There's no mention of pets on the full hook up or preferred sites, but we all know that all of the full hook up sites are pet friendly, as is one of the preferred loops.
I think it's safe to say that the majority of people that Disney has answering their phones have never stepped foot on the grounds of Fort Wilderness.  All they know is what Disney provides on their computer monitors.  As you can see, Disney does a horrible job with that.

This is an old rumor that resurfaces from time to time.
It has been discussed here many times, and there have been lengthy threads addressing it.  A couple of examples:
There apparently is something addressing this subject on an internal Disney site.
But that incorrect information has been floating around for years.
It has always been and is still OK to have a tent on a premium site at the Fort.

Hi ya all,
I'm really interested in seeing where this thread goes. We're coming down to the fort in 26 more days and booked a premium site with the hopes of putting up a tent for the kids as well.

First I've heard of it.  If they do, they'll need to stop the 3 or 4 tents and 5 families on one site in the tent loops ?
Someine else will be along shorty to confirm or deny.
Have a great trip!
