DaveInTN 3,247 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 and until the Fort gets an exercise room, guests staying there should be able to use WL's exercise room for free.Little known Fort fact...but there already is one, at least on a temporary basis during FF GG's. Only problem is, all the weights are only 12 oz. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I have no recollection of that. Am I really getting that old?yes... but you're in good companyLittle known Fort fact...but there already is one, at least on a temporary basis during FF GG's. Only problem is, all the weights are only 12 oz.unless they're Brian's margaritas - in which case I think those cup hold about 20oz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Sorry, but I don't care what anybody digs up on some website. We all know that Disney often publishes incorrect information.And, FortFiends.net is the final authority on anything Fort related.Here's an exerpt of a post I made about the Wilderness Lodge fitness room from my March, 2012 Trip Report:* * * *There had been a question asked not too long ago about whether Fort guests had the right to use the health club at the Lodge, so I went over there to ask the question directly.If you are in to that kind of thing, the health club is very nice. It is called Sturdy Branches:They have everything that you might expect in there:And, in case you are interested, the answer to the question is that yes, Fort Wilderness guests with a KTTW card (room key) are allowed to use this facility for free.Good to know.You probably won't see me in there.* * * *TCDThose recalling The Troll's TR are correct- he worked out at the Lodge when he was at the Fort in September, 2012, and again over Thanksgiving.Granted, things change, but based on two first hand reports from Fiends who went in there, there is no charge for registered FW guests with a KTTW card to use the fitness room at Wilderness Lodge.And, unless someone beats me to it, I will personally go in there to confirm this on my next visit.TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I don't care what anybody digs up on some website.Hey schmuck face, I think we've established that even though it is the policy, for FW guests, it's not followed for whatever reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Dave, where did you find that?I haven't found anything other than message board posts.And I wonder if this is one of those things where, because the Fort doesn't have facilities, they waive the fee for Fort guests but just don't publish it.Kind of like how they let Fort guests use the WL pool when the Meadows pool was being refurbed?http://www.wildernesslodgesite.com/content/sturdy-branches-health-club Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Per Joan Demato in the WL back office there is a $12.00 fee. Again whether it is enforced is another question. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 No she called down there..Oh. Then maybe someone in the New Jersey call center picked up and looked up the information.Or maybe the site where I got the screen shot that I sent you.Yes. Probably. And there is always the possibility that you and Dave are right and I'm wrong. But I won't believe it until someone goes in there and asks. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But isn't that what we're discussing. We know what the published policy is, but what is it when a FW guest shows up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Best test is probably to show up and play dumb. Just say howdy and flash your FW KTTW card and see what happens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 There is also the distinct possibility that two Fiends could visit the health club at two seperate times and receive two completely different answers. The best response to anyone interested in working out there is...give it a try and hope for the best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
