mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 OK, to start off, I am NOT endorsing these folks. I've never heard of them, don't know who they are or if they even are real. However, I saw their link on our Google ads and was wondering if any of ya'll had talked to these folks. Donnie do you know them??They seem pretty restrictive, 7 days only, Sat - Sat. Looks like they have a full time job and only want to come to the Fort on Saturday mornings.http://www.rvrentalatdisney.com/index.htmlDonnie is still the best at renting his RV and providing Fiends the BEST RV rental experience!!!

stacktester 78 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I've seen their ad Carol but never talked to anyone who rented. Looks pretty high end to me. We're still just trying to keep prices moderate while supplying good equipment. I'm not planning on getting any bigger at this time unless I lived closer to WDW which I don't see in the near future. Thank you for your comment. We really do try hard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
We4mickey 6 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Yikes! You might as well stay at the Poly or one of the deluxes for those prices. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AuburnJen 771 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Wait until Disney legal eagles get a load of their name and LLC. I see the letters coming now. Yikes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LORNADUCK 261 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 If you rented it for a month you could almost buy one lol. I know that is an expensive unit, but the rental with the price of the campsite is steep, IMHOI agree with Carol about Donnie's rental he goes out of his way for his customers and even will shop for them JK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ftwildernessguy 778 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Holy crap - over 300 bucks a day plus the cost of the site!!!! Sorry, I don't care how nice your ClassA is, I ain't payin no 300 bucks a day for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BouncingTiggers 98 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Takes either major balls or infinet stupidity to make your site look like you're affiliated with Disney. If I didn't know better & found their site I'd think it was Disney owned. If FW management really follows our site it wont be much longer till Disney hell rains down on them.

SCTigerCock 171 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I got three words for y'all. Tax write off. Price it right with enough restrictions=no business, but can write off the vehicle. PureTcrazy...rita 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AuburnChris 193 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I got three more words, then: Income tax evasion.Seriously, let them try that. The IRS would take one look at that and say "Denied." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SCTigerCock 171 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Concur, but some people will take the chance/gamble of not being audited. I've heard of some crazy things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Brian keeps trying to find an angle to write off our annual pilgrimage to the Fort. Accountant keeps laughing at him.My uncle in Plant City wants me to do a website for him but umm.... hard to write off a 20 night vacation for a 2 page website job. :rofl2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SCTigerCock 171 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 LolI keep trying to figure one out too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SCTigerCock 171 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I've thought about volunteer work for mileage. Need to see if there is a cap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 We do a lot of transport work for rescue and are able to write off the mileage. Not sure what the cap is but it must be pretty high as I don't think we've ever hit it.I have seen the occasional MH at the Fort that are basically rolling billboards promoting something. I'm assuming that's a legit writeoff.Brian keeps asking our accountant if we can write off the ATV and snowmobile if paint my company logo on the side.Oh yeah... and he's always trying to work the angle of claiming the dogs as dependents.Good thing our accountant likes us... and has a good sense of humor!

SCTigerCock 171 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I'm with Brian on the pups. When we retire, We want to follow the NASCAR circuit and do Habitat for Humanity as we go. Something to research. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dblr....Rennie 224 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 WOW we get less then they charge when we rent out our for our DVC points, when we can not use them, looks like they want their renters to pay their monthly M/H payment or two. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daddyphat808 - Eric 16 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Umm for that price there should be a butler and a maid and 3 six person carts and an unlimited supply of Red Solo Cups! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 LOL I was just thinking how excited they will be when they see all the traffic their site got today. Too bad it is just a bunch of fiends who know better than to rent at those prices! I just noticed they have no reservations yet. Hmm.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 $350/night, plus ~$100/night for a site (give or take). That's just nuts. Why wouldn't someone just rent a cabin if they want the Fort experience but don't own an RV? You're still sleeping in someone else's bed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KC5GRW...aka...Mike 1 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Here's a quote from his FAQ: Why does it cost so much? Well, RV's are expensive. The cost is comparable to the cost to reserve a cabin at Fort Wilderness. It is also comparible to the cost for two hotel rooms. The Fort Wilderness camping experience is unique.Has this guy even looked at what it costs for a cabin? Hell the cost per night is as high as a cabin is during peak season then you have to add the peak campsite rate. NO THANK YOU. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AuburnJen 771 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I am surprised he hasn't got a letter yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gots2pitt.. Jeff 64 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Apparently they aren't renting it as much as they planned.. although I am guessing more than 10% might be needed.Use the code January2012 to get a 10% discount on your reservation. Enter it as one word. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
