River Country Development

[Mr. EPCOT]

As someone who loves Fort Wilderness with all his heart, I really hope they don't ruin it with this.

And if they do, can they at least build a Big Thunder Mountain version of Trader Sam's to ease my pain?

Oooooohh, I could totally see a fun saloon experience.

I’m camping there in August. Driving the RV from Texas
Also a DVC Member.

So I’m split on this entirely. If they can keep the trees and keep it longer and shorter, I think I’m ok with it.
Disney has done great on some of these expansions and poor in others. So it could literally go one way or the other.

I do know they’re going to need a guard at the pool a la Stormalong Bay at Beach club to keep the campground folk out. And because of that, they might as well make a great pool area. To taunt them. :nana:

FW is possibly my favorite location at WDW, and I agree they have done some of these locations right. As long as it's well designed and stays relatively near the treeline height, I'm sure it'll be fine. I'm just worried they'll stick a behemoth over there.

These guys would know how to enjoy River Country

Looks like they are having fun. I will pass on joining them.

I hope that's not true, because then the price would sky rocket. I was actually looking forward to booking a trip here once the gondolas open. But not if they price me out.

Rumor was the price is going to skyrocket anyway with the gondolas going there.

Possibly This...? Pretty sure this was leaked (Pretty Much Confirmed) way back and delayed for some time. Has everyone forgotten?

It's being rumored that Mickey's Backyard BBQ will have it's last day of operation on December 31, 2018 in preparation for work related to the new DVC.
