stobaugh9 3 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Hey Y'all! So we are coming to Ft Wilderness in September and we are traveling with 3 other families. Is there any way we can get our campsites together? Thanks! Heather Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 You or your travel agent can have your reservations linked and can request sites next to each other. They try to accommodate but remember it is a request. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Our travel agent (Jason!) did a great job at linking our reservations the two years i was meeting up with others at the Fort. I would highly recommend him. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Okieatheart 33 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 I don't want to be Debbie Downer, but sometimes - even if you request and do all the right things - and even if they tell you that you have sites together - it just doesn't happen. In November, we were assigned site 715 for one night. As we were backing into 715, a man ran out saying we were on the wrong site. I checked our information and we had been assigned 715. So I called the office and they had no record of the man having requested three sites together for his friends. According to him, he asked for sites together when he booked, he phoned ahead of time, and when he checked in he reminded the CM of his request. We did ask for another site, but they gave us one of the other sites he had "reserved." DUH! Everything worked out in the end, but sometimes things get a little bumfuzzeled. I hope you all have a wonderful time! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bord1niowa......Curt 79 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 So far, every time we had groups or families coming in, and that's been many, Disney has managed to keep them together. As was said earlier, make sure Disney is aware of it ahead of time and reiterate it when checking in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if the person had actually linked the reservations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They actually create a special travel with number that draws special attention to trying to maintain the group together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Okieatheart 33 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 I have no idea if the reservations were linked. All he said was that they all made their reservations at the same time. He was a little miffed about the situation, but, as I said, I think it worked out okay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
disneylitch......Debbie 61 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Book it as a Grand Gathering. That way the sites are close or next to each other. Y will be given a Grand Gathering number that will be attached to each reservation. One person will be put in charge. That is what we did when we booked for our daughters wedding.

Y will be given a Grand Gathering number that will be attached to each reservation. One person will be put in charge. That is what we did when we booked for our daughters wedding. They have recently dropped the Grand Gathering options. You can still book groups of people but its requires a couple of extra steps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
