You guys probably know this.....but I ran across a blog post from March 15th. It is from Attractions Magazine's blog. Thanks to those guys who run the magazine for keeping us posted. I am excited about the water slide! 
"An outdoor adventure that has been a favorite with Walt Disney World guests since 1971 is receiving some enhancements. As part of a resort-wide renovation project, on now, changes are coming or already in place across the 700 acres of Disneys Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground.
Over the last 37 years, the average length of an RV has increased by 27 feet, says Fort Wilderness spokesperson Darcy Cormier, Many feature slide outs that mechanically extend from the sides of the vehicle.
To address the needs of todays larger vehicles, an intensive effort will begin to widen and lengthen the concrete parking pads, while maintaining privacy and tranquility provided by natural vegetation. A new Premium campsite will be available that feature extra large concrete pads for larger vehicles - also upgrades to existing amenities such as picnic tables and grills.
The main pool at Fort Wilderness will be enhanced with a themed water slide, hot tub and childrens wet play area. The pools deep end has been made shallower.
Nestled in the woodlands, the Resorts 409 Wilderness Cabins feature brand-new furniture, carpeting, fixtures and linens plus a fresh coat of paint.
Fort Wilderness has always been the pet-friendly choice for guests to Walt Disney World Resort, and now dogs are getting a playground of their own at the newly-opened Waggin Trails Dog Park, an off-leash play area."
