    Thank you. That is what I thought. My hopes is maybe like the other DVC at the River country site, it will be scrapped. There is nothing wrong with these cabins except for cosmetics. 

    I believe some of the new cabins are already being prepped with swaps to start this summer. I do not expect this one to go away unfortunately. 

     

  3. Disney will be opening bookings for 2024 May 31st. Dining plans return for dates after Jan 9. Date based tickets will no longer need park passes. 

    Also Disney is no longer paying commission on the campsites. If people want me to book campsites for them in the future I will have to charge a fee so I can get compensated for my time. Still pondering this but wanted to share the information. 

  4. DVC at Fort Wilderness.
     
    Today, Walt Disney World Resort announced proposed plans to bring refreshed cabin hideaways to Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, offering guests a private retreat in the midst of nature with many of the comforts of home.
     
    Nestled across 750 acres of scenic woodlands, proposed plans call for more than 350 new cabins to replace the existing cabins at the resort, which have delighted guests for many years and will soon be ready for a refresh. Additionally, the proposed cabins would be built with an eye toward the environment, utilizing the footprint of the existing cabins and taking advantage of more energy-efficient features.
    Design concepts offer a fresh take on the current cabin experience and are inspired by the resort’s idyllic setting, while also paying homage to the resort’s unique culture and heritage through the magic of Disney storytelling. Each proposed, stand-alone cabin offers spacious accommodations, sleeping up to six adults, and features a bedroom, bathroom, living room, full kitchen and private patio. A select number of cabins are also expected to be dog-friendly.
     
    As with all Disney Vacation Club resorts, the proposed cabins will continue to be open for reservations to all guests, including those who are not Disney Vacation Club Members, based on availability.
     
    The planned cabins are part of a collection of improvement projects underway at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground that are designed to enhance the guest experience. Examples include proposed pool and walking trail enhancements as well as new expanded dining experiences at Trail’s End Restaurant and Crockett’s Tavern, with more exciting news to come.
     
    Located right in the heart of Walt Disney World magic and a boat ride away from the Magic Kingdom Park, Members and guests would have easy access to the theme parks and be able to enjoy the resort’s cherished amenities, including horseback riding at the recently updated Tri-Circle-D Ranch, fishing, walking trails, pools, playgrounds for the little ones, Chip ’n’ Dale’s Campfire Sing-A-Long and rootin’ tootin’ dining and entertainment at Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue. Campsite accommodations will also continue to be available for guests.
     
    The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort – A Disney Vacation Club Resort is projected to open in 2024 and would be the 17th Disney Vacation Club resort. Additional Information regarding project details, the start of sales and rental bookings will be released at a later date.

    Walt Disney World Character News: Mirabel Debuting, Favorites Returning 

    One of the most rewarding parts of the steady return of live entertainment to Walt Disney World Resort has been watching guests create special moments with their Disney character friends once more. Whether it be a wave in a parade, a family photo or a warm embrace, these encounters bring even more magic to each visit. That’s why we can’t wait to share what’s next for new and returning characters as we continue The World’s Most Magical Celebration!

    Let’s kick things off with some exciting news for Magic Kingdom Park. We may not talk about Bruno, but we can definitely talk about Mirabel making her debut in the “Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade” on June 26! The young hero from Walt Disney Animation Studios’ hit film “Encanto” will join Miguel from “Coco,” Nick and Judy from “Zootopia,” Max Goof, Moana and more as this super-sized cavalcade winds through the park several times each day.

    Looking ahead to July, the always iconic Minnie Mouse will join Mickey Mouse starting on July 6 in Town Square Theater at Magic Kingdom Park. Both will be ready for hugs and photos in their EARidescent fashions designed specifically for the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary celebration!

    July 6 also marks the return of Chip 'N Dale's Campfire Sing-A-Long at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, where guests can join the nutty friends for a campfire celebration followed by a classic Disney movie under the stars. Then, on July 10, familiar Fantasyland friends Peter Pan and Snow White will greet guests at Magic Kingdom Park once again.

    Over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Star Wars Launch Bay returns July 17! A celebration of the legendary space saga, Star Wars Launch Bay is the place for a warm embrace with Chewbacca, a face-to-droid encounter with BB-8 or a run-in with Darth Vader himself for those brave enough.

    And those are just the next few weeks! More fun, hugs and memories are on the horizon. In the coming months, a visit to Magic Kingdom Park will bring chances to meet Aladdin, Jasmine, Merida, Pooh, Tigger and Storybook Circus pals like The Great Goofini in Pete’s Silly Sideshow. Guests' favorite toys will be ready for playtime in Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Donald Duck and friends will rejoin their prehistoric party at “Donald's Dino-Bash!” in DinoLand U.S.A. at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park.

    These exciting character encounters add to the many terrific offerings returning across Walt Disney World Resort, including Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue stomping into Pioneer Hall June 23, and Harmony Barber Shop creating magical memories on Main Street once again beginning July 31.

    Yah-hoo, let’s eat! Get ready to clap your hands, stomp your feet and sing along, as the beloved musical dinner show Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue returns this summer to Walt Disney World Resort! Reservations will be available starting May 26 for showtimes beginning June 23.
    The Pioneer Hall Players and Cast Members will be welcoming back Guests to this frontier-style family fun dining experience in Pioneer Hall at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. First debuting in 1974, Hoop-Dee-Doo will once again offer Guests a rousing Wild West performance, singing, zany vaudeville comedy with lots of laughs and an unforgettable countrified feast full of fried chicken, smoked BBQ ribs, a variety of savory sides and of course, strawberry shortcake!
    Since its opening day almost 50 years ago, this fan-favorite show has continued to surprise and delight our Guests, and as Disney grows we look for new ways to elevate and enhance our classic experiences. Hoop-Dee-Doo will return with a few updates to its script and scenery, while staying true to the treasured experience the whole family can enjoy – with the hilarious, high-spirited entertainment that it’s been known for all these years.
    Hoop-Dee-Doo holds a special place in the hearts of many Disney fans and Cast Members and has been creating special memories for generations. We’ve heard from so many Guests who are excited about the show’s return and we look forward to seeing the curtain rise once again!
    The return of Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue is just the latest to make its grand return, joining other recent entertainment offerings like the “Festival of Fantasy” Parade, “Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular”, “Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire” and even “Adventure Friends Cavalcade”! Other shows will be coming back later this year – including “Fantasmic!” and a fresh spin on a Guest favorite, “Finding Nemo: The Big Blue… and Beyond!

    We were at MK a few days ago.  Stayed at FW. Enjoyed the 30 min early entrance time. Same day MK offered extended hours 9-11 for Disney Deluxe Resort or, Disney Deluxe Villa Resort.  Unfortunately FW guests don’t qualify for this.  We were rather disappointed. 

    Fort Wilderness at best with the Cabins is in the moderate category.

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

    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.

    Jason... you know me... hold my hand :lol:

    We have lots of bands.  If each one of us, used one that was originally assigned to us (they have our names on them), will those work for part tickets if we buy them?  What about the Boo tickets... ?

    They should. Those bands are just links to your My Disney Experience. Any band that is still Active in My Disney Experience should work for that person to use any tickets assigned to them.

    You can't have park tickets put on old bands?

    The bands are linked to the person on My Disney Experience account. The tickets get linked to the persons account as well. If they are linked to a different account from the Magic bands they cant really use both. And old bands cant be transferred in MDE. Once linked they cant be transferred.
