Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Look like Ozark Trail trents from Walmart based on the logo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Even though they are rather inexpensive, I'm sure they are much better for ventability, air flow, and cleanability. I've heard reports that the heavy tents they were using frequently looked moldy like they were put up wet. If they are not going to take the time to dry them out properly and clean them after they are taken down, it might be better in the long run to purchase cheap ones and dispose when they get unusable.

Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Almost all my camping stuff has been Ozark so I don't have a problem with it. I wonder what that model goes for and if it would be cheaper just to buy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Nice work, Fiends! That's some good cooperation to bring cutting edge news to this board. It seems like the old tents were a lot more substantial than these. But, like Carol said, they probably all smelled musty. These seem kind of flimsy, though. Probably won't last as long as the old ones. But, if they're cheaper, they can afford to replace them more often. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 For what it's worth, I noticed quite a few of the previous style rental tents over our recent 3 weeks - definitely more than I remember seeing in the past and they were in all kinds of loops, not just 1500 & 2000. There could have been even more, as I wasn't on the lookout for this style. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

parrothead7368 aka Norm 101 Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 They aren't a bad brand tent, we used an Ozark Trail brand tent for a couple years and than my brother used it and we still have it to loan out to friends now that we have our campers. They will also dry out a lot quicker than the canvas style that mildew easier and should be a little cooler as well. Best Regards,Norm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And, I can only assume Disney isn't running down to Walmart to buy them one at a time. So there is likely a more wholesale price that they're getting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I overhead something about their stock running out on them. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I overhead something about their stock running out on them.I knew a guy who worked as a buyer for a grocery store and he said Wal-Mart sells stuff on their shelves (I think he gave an example of canned peas) for cheaper than he could get wholesale from the supplier.

Other big box stores like Home Depot do the same. It is kind of a devils bargain getting tied into WalMart for smaller suppliers. It is great as they push a lot of merchandise but they are well known to drop you if you don't give them the price they demand after they become your main outlet.

BouncingTiggers 98 Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 I saw some of these set up the morning after halloween. They in grass down the cast member only access road. That's the road where I believe all the supplies are delivered to the fort. Disney was diverting exiting traffic down this road when the huge crowd was leaving sunday morning.
