disneylitch......Debbie 61 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 We are thinking about visiting The Fort the middle of June. This will be the first trip since my Dad passed and we are bringing my Mom. Also, we are bringing my daughter, son in law, and 3 grandkids. My daughter and grandkids are coming to visit in May and my son in law will fly into Orlando for our visit. This is also the first time my son in law has been with us since he was deployed.We are hoping to come for 2 weeks and I was wondering if anyone knows of any campsite discount available?Thanks in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites

twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 I'm not aware of any discounts at the Fort... especially for June, but if there are any Jason (Katman1356...Jason) can help you find them :) Sorry for the loss of your father; I pray that you and your family have a very blessed trip.

keith_h 420 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 I recommend working through Jason. While I make no guarantees he has a good track record of finding discounts for folks even after they have made their reservation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 I fear that with the Disney/AAA breakup that the discounts are gone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Sorry Debbie about your Dad passing. I meant to write that in my initial comment but I was at work leaving one store headed to another. I have so afr not heard a single current rumor about AAA coming back. Everytime an offer does come out the first thing I do is check to see if applies to the campground or if that is excluded. My goal for every customer is to save every dime I can for them.

LONE-STAR 370 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I fear that with the Disney/AAA breakup that the discounts are gone.Yep for this very reason our next trip we will be at SSR.I was not paying $130.00 per night for a campsite. I love the Fort at $65 a night I like the the Fort at $90 a night and couldn't care less about going to the Fort at $130 per night at least not for a quick 5 day trip.

But, you know how comments go truth- and accuracy-wise...I did get a call the other day from AXA about renewing our AP's we bought through them last year. But we had already renewed on property.

I could not have said it any better. As much as we love the Fort, we can stay at plenty of nice places two nights for $130 per. MarylouD 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vika1819 0 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Hi,I just joined the forum. I booked our spring brake back in november but the price is $160 a night. Are there any discounts going on for that period. Also, I'm open to any other weekends that they have good discounts. Everytime I get an email that they have $49 deal, when I go to check nothing is available or the rate is bet. 130 for 160 for the premium site. We have traverl trailer, traveling with 3 kids, ages 8 month and twins 10 yrs old and a dog. Thanks alot everyone for any advice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Since they dropped the discount with AAA discounts will be few if any. About the only other discount they had for a short time last year was an AP and simultaneous FL Res discount. Currently no discounts offered for the Campsites through the end of the current offers.

PGHFiend 140 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 FYI I called the WDW customer suggestion line as per another thread I read yesterday, and surprisingly, I got a phone call back today. The nice woman on the phone explained that since the Fort is a high demand resort, she doesn't foresee any discounts. I did mention the AP's and she only mentioned something about FLA resident, but that helps not me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Just for curiosity while we were looping we counted empty sites last night and it confirms why discounts are few and far between. Granted we didn't go into the 2000 loop but since the vast majority here use Premium, Preferred or Full Hook-up and the majority like 1500 here are the numbers. Wed night in February, not an overly busy season. 15 total empty sites in Premium. Preferred and FH and 5 empty in the 1500. With that low number of unoccupied sites DISNEY has no reason to offer discounts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You hit the nail on the head- there's no reason for Disney to offer discounts if they can fill the sites without them. And, none of us should be surprised to see more price increases. If there are people willing to pay, then Disney's going to take their money all day long and laugh all the way to the bank. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes there are times when there are a lot of empty sites, but it never seems to last for long. This last trip we arrived Friday, Nov 14, and were told the weekend was sold out. We saw less than a handful of empty sites the one time we went out looping that weekend. On Tuesday (which was the week before Thanksgiving week) things got very, very empty. We were in 300 and the 2nd half of the loop had maybe 6 campers in it. For 3 days we felt like we had the whole loop to ourselves. Then Friday came. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Groan... Actually while the weekend was pretty busy, it wasn't crazy horrible. And Monday and Tuesday of Thanksgiving week were slower than I expected. It seemed the big crowds didn't really start coming in until Wednesday. Those days over Thanksgiving were jam-packed. We didn't encounter any crazy behavior - mostly big family-type groups gathering for the holiday. But it did make the traffic situation insane with people, bikes and golf carts EVERYWHERE - including a fair number of clueless and underage GC drivers making it even more hectic. We avoided looping over those days because it was more stressful than anything. Getting in/out of the Settlement area was a crawl most days. By Monday it was fairly peaceful again, although still not what I'd call "empty". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
