FortD3

So has the sudden halt in AP sales affected any of your upcoming trips or overall mindset with Disney?  

We have 4 reservations currently for the fort between January & December 22.  With the AP halt, that has killed at least our January trip. Considering canceling all but next December and maybe putting together another big year in '23.  
 

They keep making it harder & harder...

No idea. 499 is old info btw. Bookings, when they have been open for room/campsite only, are now 500 days as the starting point and up to 30 days for the length. We will see if there is any change to that once they open up 2023. 

The agency I am with does not do group bookings like this. We have tried a couple of times and the up front costs and the return on time and investment have not been worth our while. I am sure I could make them work for Fort bookings but with the number of other people doing them and the fact I would have to put the money out myself to get things set up I don't think I could get the in demand dates or afford to do it. 

I will say I believe the contracts for the groups can be set up before hand but that isn't the same thing as booking the group to specific people. They are probably gathering the lists to match what their contracts will allow and that's as much as they are doing. 

This is not specific information mind you. Just what I have come to understand from conversations with various people. I could be incorrect on certain details. 

Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

The TA in question books groups and is prepping lists for when the group booking is set up so they can fill it in. Nothing can be booked so far in 2023. Not even to the 500 day point we usually have. As of now the latest you can book is a reservation stating on December 31, 2022

So please educate me Jason, does the group bookings open before the 499 day window that is open to all?

Sad to hear about the marina & settlement areas.  We haven't been to the Fort since November 2019, so your status saddens me for our scheduled January trip. 
 

I (like many) wish they had never gotten started on Reflections.  Given the leadership, I imagine what work was done there will remain a blight for a LONG time.  
 

Sure hope I am wrong...

Thanks for sharing Travisma.  Hope you guys are having a great trip!

Thanks for the update BennieH.  Hope you all have are having a great time!  Have you gotten more neighbors since your post, and curious what occupancy looks like on the other loops that you may have seen.
