Cyclonic 55 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 While we were camped at the Fort in January a group (of teens, unfortunately) were camped for the weekend in Fort Wilderness rental tents. I figured I would take some photos after the group left, but before they were taken down by the maintenance staff. I don't know anything else about them, but figured it would be good to have some nice, clear photos of what they look like. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Humphrey Bear…Rob 42 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Those look pretty big- how many did you sleep per tent? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 There's a page about this somewhere in our info pages, but yes, the Fort rents tents. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Thanks for the photos! Looks like they've updated the tents from what they used to rent. I'll update the Info page Gwen linked to. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AuburnJen 772 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I wish I could get my hands on one of the old ones they used to rent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Looking at those tents makes me have flashbacks of boy scouts screaming through the woods of the 2000 loop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks for the photos! Looks like they've updated the tents from what they used to rent. I'll update the Info page Gwen linked to. :)Uh, those "new" tents have been in use for at least a year and a half: OK, now I have a real revelation.Bear with me here.Look at how there are a bunch of identical tents all set up in the group camping area:Now, check this out . . .There were three of these tents set up on three different sites on the 2000 loop.One:Two:Three:What do you make of that?I say the Fort has new rental tents. That is what I make of it.That's a revelation.TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 My bad. As I've said before, I'm waaaaaaaaaay behind on TRs. Please feel free to do the internet version of whacking me on the head if something pops up that relates to content elsewhere on the site. Otherwise there's a darned good chance I may not see it for a year and a half. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Please feel free to do the internet version of whacking me on the head if something pops up that relates to content elsewhere on the site. Otherwise there's a darned good chance I may not see it for a year and a half. No worries. There was a more recent discussion about rental tents and pricing last year: http://www.fortfiends.net/forum/topic/12440-disney-staff-putting-up-tents/ In that thread, there was discussion about these new tents being smaller, as well as pricing for the tents and cots.
