He said it will not reopen today he can guarantee it. He said it will reopen tomorrow but did not know what time. Good to know - was the overflow lot empty or full of displaced campers? We are due to arrive tomorrow. I had hoped to avoid the chaos of everybody trying to get back in, but chaos at the Fort is better than no Fort at all... One of the Facebook sites "I love camping at Disney" had a report that they will let folks back in at Noon tomorrow. What a check in line that will be! I'm hoping to get there about 10-11 and hopefully they will let me park in overflow - go to MK and let the chaos die down before trying to set up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, what ride are you going to do...but still. Good info, makes sense. I don't know that Disney has enough land to do that (but maybe they moved the animals)...who knows. The Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa opened their stables for horse owners in the evacuation area for a safe place to house them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 Thanks for the updates, all! Hopefully those of you trying to check in (or back in) tomorrow don't experience too much of a headache. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cortezcapt (Derek) 156 Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 I'm wondering if everyone going back in will have to go through the whole check in process again? I'd like to hope that at least the people who stayed on property won't have to. That will be a mess if everyone does. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fladogfan aka Gretchen 259 Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 OK so reading here made me think...wonder if I can take those 2100 loop pics Jen is looking for. Would be a great time to do that, no RVs in the fort! But nope. The guard at the gate said 'can't go in, no one allowed today' So I ask, 'when will campers be allowed back in', he says 'tomorrow', Sunday, 'what time' I say, he says '8AM'. Whether that holds true is anyone's guess. The overflow lot is almost empty, a few cars near the check-in building, probably cast. The main part had 2 RVs and a work trailer. Took a look at the riding horses. They have an open on the sides covered shelter in their pasture. A bunch of them were out chomping some of the green grass. I think there is also a closed barn but not too sure. Driving past some of the other resorts I could see RVs in the parking lots, one even had a slide out.

Beckers 1,136 Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 has anyone read the comments or reviews on Disney's FB page? There are some real winners. It seems personal responsibility goes out the window when you go on vacation to Disney. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LONE-STAR 370 Posted October 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 It would be a lot harder for some one to take a rv if the slides are out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When we left there last Wednesday morning, the road and several sites were already flooding from all the rain we had. Can't imagine how bad it must be now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fotofx....Steve 34 Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 The check in clerk said they were told several loops would be closed till Wednesday. Yesterday they did not have the express monorail up. Were using resort, the ferry, and buses for TTC to MK. Epcot was running normally. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
