In hopes of them doing exactly what they didI’ve read of others having much better luck asking on Twitter so I figured why not. And honestly they were so much faster than calling in (hard to believe I know!). I think it’s a separate dedicated customer care and also PR team.
You got fort wilderness for $63? Was that a campsite or actual cabins? Or is fort something different lolW and I will be there the 19th from 3 to 7 ish. So far, we have reservations at the Fort at the rate of abt $63 after taxes. We usually camp using Fe@rless McT@ggert (our T@g mini-camper), but as this is a whirlwind trip--planned when we got the message about the preview--we're going to have to fly from northwest Michigan. So far, if we can leave on Saturday the 17th instead of Sunday, our ticket costs will be cut by %50, but we're not sure himself can get that extra day off work. Here's hoping! (Edited to add: we're taking a smallish tent and some other camping needs, so we're going to have to do the baggage check. It's going to be an adventure to see how my 70-year-old back makes it through sleeping on the ground again lol. Again--it's for Disney
Are you saying you got reservations at Oga's? If so, how did you make it? Did you have to call in? The reason I'm asking is that when I look at reservations, it says it's not open until the 29thI will be there with my DS7, Aug 19th, 5-9. MFSR and Oga's.
(Scratch this post--I see that one doesn't need reservations for Oga's 
To clarify, when you booked the Preview timeslot you could pick from 3 options, just like the cast member previews.Are you saying you got reservations at Oga's? If so, how did you make it?

The OP said they’re taking a tent so I’m assuming they are camping, not staying in a cabin
I think you'll win as the one with the biggest sacrifice. I can not fathom any point at which sleeping on the ground is fun. Especially when for another $40 you can have a room with a roof and a bed (not to mention a shower and toilet), LOLW and I will be there the 19th from 3 to 7 ish.

We've never camped at WDW before, but I'm really wanting to once it gets cooler out since we're locals now. I don't think I would go in August though lol. You're braver than I am. I'm not really big into camping thoughYep, we're tenting it

Ah gotcha. I was skimming while at work lol
My 16-year-old is totally jealous but she has field hockey non-stop starting August 1.Sun. Aug. 18, 9-1, Oga's (full disclaimer - I was at Disneyland last week and rode Smuggler's run 4 times but didnt get into Oga's = super excited)
Put in a waitlist DVC and by some miracle it came through today
I wanted to drive down from PA, wife decided she wants to go...we are flying (that costs more than I wanted).
2 DD (15 & 16) are pissed that they have HS soccer and cannot go...priceless
See you there.
And I've tent-camped for decades before we got our T@g, so I know what to expect. We're on a shoestring--we've already stayed at Disney for essentially a month in the last year--and this was unexpected, so the money we save by camping will be put toward our food
