We are leaving for FW next week (Hooray!) and just got a letter in the mail yesterday. It states the "Meadows Swimmin' Pool will be closed mid January 09-late March 09". The leisure pool will be open, but it also states that we will be able to use the "Silver Creek Springs Pool located at Disney's Willderness Lodge for Guests wishing to take advantage of this nearby experience."
There you have it... straight from the mouth of the mouse.

That pool is not very big. I can't imagine how crazy it will be with all of the campground guests there.

We're arriving at FW next Monday. Since the main pool is closed, is there another pool we can use? Maybe WL? Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks!
-
Sorry Ron I was just tring to get the information out that people have requested.

Does anybody know the status of the pool ? Wondering if it's on schedule to re-open late March ?

The slide is up and the hot tub is formed in the ground with the concrete poured. There is still a lot of plumbing and concrete work to do. Send me a PM and I'll tell you were to see pictures.
-
Water tower is complete for the slide. The pad is getting ready for pouring then the steps will be done. The hot tub is in and the pool looks like it's on the finishing touches. Looks like the water tower has the old fort wilderness railroad logo on it to. Should be a interesting theme when it's done. I still have the link to the pictures if anybody else wants it.
-
I have seen some great pics from some other websites. It appears to be the water tower from River Country, however it has an old logo from the Fort Wilderness Railroad. Very odd? Ron - can you provide some info?

Sorry, no. I haven't been in there lately to look for myself, and I don't know any FW folks well enough to ask. Maybe Figaro can add some more info. He's our resident Bay Lake Recreation guy.
I've been looking at the pics on That Other Site (yes, I admit I lurk over there sometimes). I agree that it is most likely the old FW railroad logo, and I don't find that very strange. Back when the railroad was operating there were elevated "wooden" water tanks at Settlement Depot and Outpost depot. They were real, and were used to add water to the steam engines. Including an old railroad water tank in the new pool design seems to me to be consistent with the whole FW theme.
And isn't that an old railroad lantern hanging from the side of the tank?

Yeah I thought it looked like a old railway lantern myself. With the pipes sticking out of the bottom of the pool it could help the water hole look more rustic too. You can see them in the earlier pictures. Either way it looks like its going to be the place to be.

I haven't had the chance to see it lately, but I'll talk to my bike barn friends about it. The progress is as previously stated though as far as I last heard. The slide is up and the water tower are up. The tower is the old one from RC, tho. They told us from the beginning that it was going to be put into there. I think they are making the pool shallower by a foot, also, which is in progress. I think things are still on track with no delays, or at least, haven't heard of any. As far as the logo goes, I'm not sure. I haven't heard anything as far as a specific theme goes to the pool, but I assume it's still the good old country waterin hole.

I stand corrected...supposedly it'll be like 4ft deep at deepest point...they did some tile work to the kiddy pool, too.
