MOUCHIE 0 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 We may be headed to FW in a new camper either Halloween or right after Christmas? Confused though as to the differences "Full hookup", "Preferred" and "Premium". Wouldn't all 3 of these include full hookups - water, sewer, cable, etc?? They all state views of the woods so which is better to try and get? Thanks in advance for any suggestions Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Yes, all three levels have W/E/S/cable. The preferred are close to the marina/settlement. The Premium are larger pads with more concrete. The regular full hookups are a little bit isolated from the rest of the campground, but some sites are close to the pool. The preferred and regular FH have sand areas in the back. The Premiums have nicer grills and picnic tables to me the preferred are smaller than regular FH, their only advantage is location. djsamuel and MOUCHIE 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MOUCHIE 0 Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 mouseketab.....Carol, Thanks so much. Going p/u our camper this coming weekend and so excited to be headed back to FW. We stayed in one of the cabins 2 yrs ago and loved it. Gonna be hard to even want to try other Disney properties now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

keith_h 420 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 This page has a lot of pointers to loop information and videos. Look for the Loop Information heading towards the bottom of the page. http://www.fortfiends.net/index.html/accomodations/loop-information/ Campsite info http://www.fortfiends.net/index.html/accomodations/campsites/ There is also a phone app but I can never find it since the site has been upgraded. Some else will post it I'm sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cortezcapt (Derek) 156 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Welcome! Your question has been pretty well answered, it comes down to preference, budget, and availability. If you are set one either Halloween or after Christmas it will probably come down to availability. I would recommend starting to try booking a site ASAP, or getting a travel agent on it. Jason, who posts a lot on here and is also a sponsor is a great travel agent with a lot of experience with the Fort (you can find his information under the sponsors tab, I'm on my phone and not sure how to attach a link). Those times book up quick and usually a year in advance so if you can get a reservation in any level I would book it and if it's not the level you ultimately want keep trying, at least you'll have a reservation though. After all any site at the Fort is better than no site at the Fort. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 In my opinion, the full hook-up sites seem to have less privacy as the bushes seem to be thinner between spots. I agree with Carol, that the most of the full hook-ups do seem larger than the preferred but the preferred is closer to the marina (if you have a bike or golf cart, that won't matter as much). djsamuel 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your links were fine, it's the ones between the Info pages that are still broken - like that main Site Classifications page that links to all the other stuff. I think Super Geek was putting in a ticket to get them to flip the format of those pages so that all those page/article listings comes *below* the actual page content.

Theed31u 10 Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 We made our first trip to the fort a couple weeks ago and stayed in a full hookup at the 1700 loop. I don't think we we'll change for our next trip. The site was plenty big enough for our motorhome, it was a short walk to the outpost for busses, and it seemed a little more quiet then the preferred or premium loops we walked through. We walked from the settlement to our loop a few times while we were there and it is not a bad walk, nothing compared to walking in the parks all day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Campingdad 3 Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Difference in size between proffered and premium? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Premiums are generally wider at least if not longer, although there are a few preferred sites that are quite long. Premiums are paved end to end vs Preferred which have the sand/coquina pad at the back. The Fort Fiends site app gives sizes of all sites if you want to do a specific comparison.
