I feel so sorry for campers impacted by this...

I also posted this on two FW-specific threads, but I am posting here in case any here has any additional thoughts!!
Concern here on my end.
I have been the planner for my dad's dream vacation to WDW - there are nine of use going: my dad, stepmom, stepbrother, his wife, their three kids, DH and me! My dad has been dreaming about this for 10 years and is taking us as his big gift to all of us.
We are scheduled to stay in the Cabins at FW - DH, dad, stepmom and I to check-in on 9/27 and my stepbrother's family on 9/29. My dad, stepmom and stepbrother haven't been to WDW in almost 30 years and my sister-in-law, two nephews and niece have never been. DH and I are WDW veterans, but have never stayed at FW. Needless to say we are all really looking forward to it - I already have reservations for golf carts and a couple of meals at Trail's End.
So....and I know everything is just a guess at this point...should I just sit tight for now or should I go ahead and try to book something else (for my stepbrother's room I would need to find something which sleeps 5 which I know are in short supply on this short of notice)???
Help!!!!
But I would settle for a room anywhere on the monorail loop.
Wow. I'm glad you got through! I was on hold for 3 hours and 25 minutes before I finally called it and decided to call back tomorrow right at 7a. So you were moved to a resort? If so, which one?Here's the latest (mis)information. I'm currently 45 minutes into a predicted 2 hour hold on the phone with Guest Relations. Per the CM I talked to, who acted like he read this afternoon's memo.
Those of us with Fort check in dates between now and the 17th (Sunday), received the email. We are being offered a temporary relocate to a resort until the Fort opens. They are hoping to have the Fort open on the 18th, which is likely why Chris didn't get the email. They can't (obviously) guarantee the Fort will be open on the 18th, but that is the day they are shooting for now. Either way, whenever the Fort opens, we will be allowed to move in.
I may be making a 2000 mile round trip with 15,000 lbs in tow for nothing, but at least I'll be at Disney.
Guest relations has to do the relocate (at no additional charge), hence the 2 hour hold.

I haven't got completely through. I just made it to a CM that seemed to have a memo (and actually read it) that spoke to the process for Fort reservations.Wow. I'm glad you got through! I was on hold for 3 hours and 25 minutes before I finally called it and decided to call back tomorrow right at 7a. So you were moved to a resort? If so, which one?
Ohhhh okay..I misunderstood. Good to know we won't be charged. Hopefully you won't be waiting too much longer!I haven't got completely through. I just made it to a CM that seemed to have a memo (and actually read it) that spoke to the process for Fort reservations.
I said I had to get through to Guest Relations (still on hold with them. Going on 1:30), but we would be relocated to another resort until the Fort reopens. Same sort of process they had for those that had to evacuate before the storm.

Someone who is not a very nice person sent this to me just now. Can anyone confirm this? The Fort permanently closed? http://www.breakingnews247.net/59b8...-walt-disney-world-due-to-hurricane-irma.html
That story is Pure Unadulterated Squirrel Poop. One Look at the price tag Disney does that in 1 day at Ft W. Two Check the stories to the right I at first glance fell for it too as all I saw was they are "CLOSING" the resort Rereading the headline and story it doesn't pass the smell tank. Maybe we should find the person who put it up and have him or her scrub all of our BLACK WATER tanks with a tooth brushSomeone who is not a very nice person sent this to me just now.
