Judy in Texas 150 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I think you and your kids would love to take a walk around the Art of Animation Resort. Disney did a most excellent job with the theming. The food court and shop are standard WDW fair; but the outside grounds are A+. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 There's also the Boardwalk area for resort touring near Epcot. You can make the loop around the lake and check out the Beach and Yacht clubs, Swan and Dolphin, and the Boardwalk resort, which also has an area of shopping and dining. You can rent surrey bikes there too if you'd rather pedal the loop around instead of walking it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BillTheDogWalker 0 Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 WOW! Thanks for the welcome and advice! So, if I understand this correctly .. we park our vehicle, that we drove in on (and towed the popup with) in a parking lot elsewhere from the camping site? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bord1niowa......Curt 79 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Check-in is 1 pm...check out is 11 am UNLESS you get late check out. Then it could be as late as 1 pm check out. Early check in can be as early as 7 am or earlier! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So, if I understand this correctly .. we park our vehicle, that we drove in on (and towed the popup with) in a parking lot elsewhere from the camping site? No, your car can stay at the campsite with you and your popup at the campsite. The only time you may need to park in the parking lot is if your site is not ready when you check in. If you check in after 1 pm, it shouldn't be a problem. But if you check in before 1 pm, your site may not be ready for you and you would have to park in the overflow lot. They would then take your cell phone number and either text or call you later when your site is ready with your site number. Hope this helps! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You are allowed to keep your vehicle at your site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Early check in can be as early as 7 am or earlier! So you're saying that check-in is 1PM and check-out is 11AM. Good to know. I am really surprised Lou didn't mention this. I'm slipping.

ftwildernessguy 778 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Since you have been ignoring all the other posts as I advised, I feel compelled to tell you that check in is at 1 pm, checkout is 11 am. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Just a heads up - you can park at your site, but you cannot park at different areas in the campground. So, to get to the marina you would take an internal FW bus, unless you have bikes or a golf cart. Same thing for the pool, unless you are within walking distance. In case you missed it, check in is 1pm and check out is 11am. HTH! BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Retired and Happy (Ken) 101 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Did you get answers to your questions? By the way, your family members can be referred to as DW, DS11, DS9, and DD4. DW would usually refer to you in these forums as DH. Dufus and Shmuckface are already taken. We drive in from Lake City and try to arrive around check in time, which is 1 pm. When we get ready to leave, we try to hit around check out time, which is 11 am. We rarely make either time. We have not done much resort hopping, but there are some amazing decorative touches at each to make it well worthwhile to see. Just remember you can eat and play at those resorts, but do not try to swim. And welcome to the nut house. As you can tell, you will get good and goofy information. The more replies, the goofier it gets. But we are good people anyway. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Millermouseketeers MaryAnn 150 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Try for 1500 loop. It's a pop up/ tent loop & very close to the pool. Right across the road from it. And Welcome! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 What I really want to know is what time is late check in and early check out....LOL!!! Seriously, though I've arrived at 2am (just pushed her in plugged in and went to sleep), and a couple of times I've paid for a night, but left about 10pm to drive a couple hours North to continue our drive the next day.

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 As others have said, you can park your vehicle at your site. But you do have the option of leaving it in the overflow lot, which I sometimes prefer to do so that I have more room on the site for a golf cart, bikes, ez up canopy, etc. Oh, and I feel I should tell you that check in is at 1pm and check out is at 11am.

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 One last question (I think .. ) What loop should request for popup camper that is closest to pool and comfort station? Assuming you reserved a partial hook-up site, then I agree with Millermouseketeers recommendation of the 1500 loop. There are only two partial hook-up loops: 1500 and 2000. 1500 is much smaller than 2000, so it's possible there will not be any sites available on that loop. You should be OK this time of year, but you never know. If they can't put you on 1500, ask for a site in the range of 2018-2038 on the 2000 loop. Ask for a site on the outside of the loop. That will put you near a comfort station, and a path that you can take through the 900 loop to get to the pool. If you reserved another level of site (full, preferred or premium), I have recommendations for those too, but you need to let us know what level of site you reserved. And, in case you missed it- check-in is after 1 pm. Check-out is no later than 11 am. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 re: which loop to request - there's some information on this page that might be helpful, including links to a great Google Earth application, the Fort Fiends mobile app (with specs and photos on every site) and some great videos as well...http://www.fortfiends.net/_/accomodations/loop-information/site-classifications-r61 ...welcome to the nut house. As you can tell, you will get good and goofy information. The more replies, the goofier it gets. But we are good people anyway. I think that should be our tagline...
