 A Moderate Change at Fort Wilderness

[WDW] Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort’s cabin accomodations have now been added to the ‘moderate’ resort category, having previously been in the lower end of the deluxe. Despite the change, rates will remain at the same level. Although no official reason has been given behind the switch, its thought its ‘deluxe’ tag was misleading some guests into believing they would be getting deluxe amenities, similiar to that found at Disney’s other deluxe resorts, such as full service restaurants and a themed pool area. Don’t get me wrong, the cabins are still amongst the most spacious accomodations to be found on Dinsey property, and are perfect for larger families who would otherwise need to book 2 rooms (the cabins sleep 6), but there’s no escaping the fact the resort is still effectively a campsite, albeit on the upper end of the scale.

Magic Kingdom Rehab Alert!

[WDW] More rehab news, this time its the turn of Big Al, Liver Lips and co. to go into temporary hibernation, with Disney listing the Country Bear Jamboree as being closed from Sept 28th thru Oct 31st 2008. Initial speculation reckoned this could signal a return of the Country Bears Christmas Jamboree which has been absent from the park for the last two festive seasons. unfortunately, this doesn’t appear to be the case and the timing is merely co-incidental. Work is likely to concentrate on the attraction’s much maligned audio system, with general maintenance and sprucing-up along side.
