DaveInTN 3,247 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I think that truck is off the pavement. But I bet whoever is planning this is paying the Fort big bucks. So that must make it ok. And there is no way all that firewood can be burned in a little enclosed firepit. Who wants to bet there will be a big open fire? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Here are the details on the big gathering. These folks are from Clearwater. Maybe TCD knows them? http://clearwater.platoacademy.net/frontpageannounce/allprodadcampingtrip-fortwilderness It's interesting that they have reserved "community sites". I wonder how many tents per site management is allowing them? As many as they cram in? The cost is $40/tent/night....so obviously more than one per site to cover the costs. I hope there aren't any unrelated, unsuspecting campers getting placed in that loop this weekend. This ain't gonna be quiet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 There are several lined up along the canal. They are going to have a firepit and movie watching area. Wonder if they are setting up a big movie screen along the canal? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Wow that looks like it's going to be bad. According to the link DIT posted, they plan to have 65 tents. Will those all be on the 1500 loop? That's 3.09+ tents per site. Oh boy. This is a charter school here in my county. All Pro Dads is a great organization started by Tony Dungy. Still, that's too many people in a small loop. I hope you'll give us some updates Grumpy. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beckers 1,136 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 This is going to be a hot mess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Sorry, I need to correct my estimate of 3.09+ tents per site. Since they say that there will be "community sites" for the catering trucks, I will guess that they will use two sites for that purpose. That means 3.42+ tents per site. This should not be allowed. But if you got the cash, Disney will take it. The guests on 1600 are going to love this. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TCD In October there was a huge church group that took up most of 1600, with "overflow" in a good chunk of 300. I wonder if this group will end up spilling over to another loop? Agreed I'd be looking to be in 2000 while this is going on. ...or Key West. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Judy in Texas 150 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I drove through the 1500 loop last night. There was also a pile of maybe 50 (I'm guessing) picnic tables near the canal waiting to be set out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alexwyattmommy 181 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Our plan is to provide dinner on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night as well as breakfast on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday morning. Disney is not making money on meals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Avatab.... Steve 124 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Seems like groups and freeloaders are big problems at FW. With just a little thought and effort by FW management both could be solved quite easily, mostly by a fair and common sense application of the rules. It is very discouraging when money is so obviously more important than the comfort of their other guests... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
devores 382 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Couple of things: This is a school? Im not sure Id want them teaching my kids. quote: "Camping will take place in February, from Friday the 15th through Monday the 18th. There is no school on Monday the 18th." (that's cause there is no Monday the 18th) Looking at a calendar, their dates are a little off. Proof read much? Next: Take note of this "We will kick off the camping trip with a Friday evening poolside pizza party and wrap up Monday with an IHOP pancake breakfast." Wonder if they reserved the whole pool too? If not, avoid the area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Memphis 105 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 This is the organization Tony Dungy started and as such I lay odds they will be much better behaved than ya'll think. I predict no real problems at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I predict no real problems at all. It's just a chapter of Tony's group that meets at this particular school. If Tony was there, I wouldn't worry. But I'll bet he's not going to be there hanging out at the pool and eating pizza. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think you are right. This was for the 2013 weekend. I guess it was a hit, cause they're doing it again this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
