- Being an avid runner runner I saw this up close twice this year. During my
- Sept stay in Fort Wilderness, the land clearing as well as a lot of the
- prep work for the sewage/elec/water was being done (survey flags all over
- the place).
-
- They had shut down the 'exercise path' in FW...since I run the roads used by
- the bus system (including the roads that service between the transportation
- center and FW), I ran through the sight.
-
- During November I stayed in FW again. This time the back access road (to FW)had
- changed to form a 4 way intersection with the access road to the transportation
- center & the Polynesian Hotel....it use to come out down the road a bit
- towards the Contemporary...lot more work had been done on sewer/water/elec and
- steel was being put in place in that clearing. If you use the access road
- to the Contemporary, right after you pass under the monorail to the right
- there is a new construction sign with a picture of the Fort Wilderness Lodge.
