twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Funny... I'm actually surprised that Disney hasn't asked this sooner. Not because the bright lights might be offensive to guests, but because they cost Disney money. Now, I will say that there were sites in the 100 loop that oh. my. gosh. Their (basic white) globe lights (so not seasonal), were sooooo bright.... pretty sure planes could have landed. I've never seen lights that bright. I was thankful that no one in a tent was (trying) to sleep next to them because there is no way you could have slept with those lights... it was like daylight at midnight. Who knows. As for offensive... top of this list is still the idiots in the GCs. Seriously, just give me a bb gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Oh no, I don't mean that. These were very bright flood lights, not the smaller porch lights. They very well may have forgotten about them anyway. Didn't bother us at all, but I can assume it may have bothered those right next to them. Weren't you in the 200 Loop? We're probably talking about the same people... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
momofmany...Christina 17 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I haven't seen any decorations that would bother the surrounding people at night. We are right by the road and the only noise we ever hear at night are the stupid horns on the Disney golf carts on the weekends. It just seems weird to me to get this letter today when it has been so quiet the past few days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Classact....Mike 17 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Since Tennessee folks generally leave Christmas (and every other season) decorations up all year, they don't quality as "seasonal", so I think we'll be good! And just for Lou, I'll leave our beautiful inflatable inflated and lighted all night long. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigTom 76 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I wonder iff this includes our Mickey Head lights, we leave ours on all night usually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 And just for Lou, I'll leave our beautiful inflatable inflated and lighted all night long. Fixed it. I wonder iff this includes our Mickey Head lights, we leave ours on all night usually. Mickey head lights, I need to get those for my car. Are they street legal? Could the reason for this have nothing to do with the lights annoying other campers or the cost of the electricity?It might be that they just want to reduce the site seeing by Fort campers in GCs and by those walking around the loops after 10pm.It can get noisy and 10pm is quiet time. djsamuel 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quite possibly. I also think it's possible this has nothing to do with how quiet it's been this week, and more to do with how crazy it's about to get this weekend.

No message is going to stop it. It's Halloween weekend and it will be going on way after 10. I vote it's just more idiocy from the IM"s. I second it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But that little bit of paper at least gives them something to point to when they show up at some rowdy site...

(cue John Candy Wally World voice I'm working Friday and Saturday nights, so I won't show up at the Fort until 11pm on one of those nights.I guess I'll have to bring a flashlight because with all the lights turned off, I won't be able to see anything.

You may be on to something there. They certainly don't want those guests shelling out $600 a night for a standard room to find out that a campground is next door.

Family of Bears 98 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I am currently drafting a letter of my own:Dear Fort Wilderness Rangers,Due to the new "seasonal lights out policy" I would now like to enforce a rule of my own. We'll call it the "if you don't get rid of the flood lights at the comfort station that shine right into my face while I'm sleeping specifically in the site right next to the bathroom in the 2000 loop I am going to unscrew them all myself" policy.
