~Kristina~ 10 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 When can this be done? Can I request a site too? We're booked for a preferred site, that's 100 and 200. Any site recommendations? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaddysCoolTV 4 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 I usually call 7 days before check in. I always request a site and a loop if the site is not available. Sorry no suggestions for 100 or 200 loop usually don't stay in those. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
~Kristina~ 10 Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Everyday I debate with myself if I should change to a Premium (dh would KILL me!) or just a full hookup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaddysCoolTV 4 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Personally, I think the 100, 200, and 300 loops are to tight for all of the stuff we bring. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Judy in Texas 150 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 I called WDW reservations last night to schedule my October trip and the lady asked for loop (by number) and site preferences. She said she couldn't make any promises but she would add it to the reservation. I hadn't heard anyone talk about this before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BouncingTiggers 98 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Whatever you do. Do not take site 110 as it is rediculously small & has zero privacy as people are right on top of you on all sides. Site #201 is our favorite site out any campground anywhere.

Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 I read that the best way to request a site is by what it offers rather than a number. Also, it was recommended to me to fax my request. Here is what I faxed, with my personal info removed:The fax# for the Fort is: 407-824-3508Date of faxTO: Ft.

~Kristina~ 10 Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Okay, the only loops available are preferred and tent. So I obviously stayed with preferred and requested site 201. And she did note in the system that I have an awning and side slides. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
campingmommy aka Kelli 7 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Everyday I debate with myself if I should change to a Premium (dh would KILL me!) or just a full hookup.We get a premium, just because the sites are bigger and DH can back the fifth wheel in easier! (and so that he doesn't yell at me the entire time he's backing in! LOL) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kazlac4 3 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 This is site #215. It is on the inside of the loop. We thought it was just right!This was site #210. It is on the outside of the loop and we felt it was a tighter fit than #210. (Although our camper was larger we still felt the site itself was more narrow than 210). If you sat at the far side of the picnic table at this site you could just about stretch your arm out and touch the pop-up that was next to us. :-\ Hope they help. Sorry they are not better. We will make sure next time to get more precise pics of our site! :banana: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It has actually worked for us in the past, the last time i tried to back the 40' monster into one of the less than generous sites, there was so much yelling that a truck driver camping near us came over and backed it in for me.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 We try and cover all our bases requesting a loop/site.We have it noted on our reservation, and then 4 days before check-in we fax a request.Somewhere we were told that the site assigner doesn't look at anything much further out than that, but I can't recall where.Also, when we put in our request we usually give them our reasons (usually dog related) and our top 3-4 picks.So far we're batting 100%. We don't always get our first pick, but we've always gotten one of our top 3.Keep in mind that WHEN you go (time of year and even day of check in) can have a huge effect on their ability to fill your request. Also, the more specific the request you make, the tougher it might be for them to meet it.That's where giving them reasons (near XYZ, etc.) can help. If they can't get you into the exact site you want, they can try and find another similar site.Good luck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
~Kristina~ 10 Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 It looks like the sites on the 200 loop are pretty big, so I'd be happy with that loop rather than the 100 loop. I'll fax a request later as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 You will also have less GC traffic on 200, won't have to worry about the little ones as much! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brent... Just Brent 83 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Hope I'm not being repetitive here, but you definitely made the right decision staying with the preferred, IMHO. Then again, it's just that, my opinion. It all depends what you like. I'd gladly take 100-300 any day just to be so close to the Settlement. Being able to walk to the beach for fireworks or to catch the boat and not take the bus is huge. Also, I don't even bother with the refillable mug if I can't walk to fill it. If you like seclusion, then those loops probably aren't for you, though I think some sites are quieter than others.Regardless, have a good time and enjoy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
