Haunted Trail Rides at Fort Wilderness Cancelled for Fall 2012

[Wendy]

I called Disney this morning to ask about the Haunted Trail rides at Fort Wilderness this year and I was told that there won't be any as they have been cancelled

I asked if this was permanent and she said she didn't know, but that it was due to work being carried out in preparation for a new DVC resort at Fort Wilderness. I wonder if this is also the reason that the Hoop Dee Doo has been cancelled for the Holiday Season this year

If I hear any more you'll read it here

They are going to incorporate some of the old River Country into the new resort. All the barns and animals are going to be moved as well. I'm beginning to wonder if Pioneer Hall is going to be moved or be torn down completely and rebuilt someplace else in Fort Wilderness.

That would make sense yep. wow :/

I better book a couple of luaus for our december trip then because the hoop audiences will want to go somewhere and the luau is probably going to be packed out

This would be a wise move on your part. Have you seen the Luau? While not as good as The Hoop Dee Doo it is very entertaining and the food is just as good.

WHAT?!?

sorry both of you

I posted here that there was a rumour that Hoop Dee Doo might be closing for refurbishment, but I'm wondering if it might be something else now

I'm looking for some more information about the DVC.

Okay according Explorer's Encycledia:

"The first phases of the project are to prepare the Fort Wilderness area for the forthcoming DVC resort and recall permits that were filed late last year that have now faded into relative obscurity. First the stables and blacksmith area of the campground will be relocated to make room for whatever design they have for the forthcoming resort buildings – those plans specifically haven’t been filed and released (they’ll show up later this year or early 2013) – and then the shoreline will be reshaped as a parking area is added near the existing boat dock and a large dining hall will be added on the waterfront as pictured below."

You can see the plan here
