Fort Wilderness is changing — and this time, the evidence is impossible to ignore.

For long-time "Fort natives," the changes feel personal. The shoe tree tradition — decades of retired Disney boat captains tossing their shoes as a farewell — has all but disappeared. And the new zero-entry pool, while open, is leaving many regulars underwhelmed. Updates and changes are revealed and the why to questions!

In this episode of The Lakeshore Effect, we trace the full timeline — from Michael Eisner's 1990 DVC announcement to the shelving of Buffalo Junction, the abandonment of River Country, and the slow, deliberate repositioning of Fort Wilderness from a rustic frontier wilderness into a Disney Vacation Club hub.

Is this evolution — or is the Fort Wilderness as we know being left behind for good?

New video drops on Glamp Review YouTube this Sunday 6/14/26 @ 9:30AM!
Be sure to hype this episode on your phone it will be a good one!

Our Viewer Appreciation event was never about gaining subscribers or trying to grow the channel. It was simply about showing appreciation to the people who make this channel possible—our viewers. After all, you are the channel.

Ironically, the live stream actually resulted in us losing subscribers, which is the opposite of what most people would expect from a giveaway!

Will we do another one? Absolutely. Even if it costs us subscribers, what we gain is far more important—the joy of knowing we made people happy.

Just like we did for Aimee, who received the awesome beach canopy giveaway—the exact canopy we’ve personally used and loved for the past two years. Seeing her excitement made it all worthwhile!

Congratulation to Aimee once again for winning the Beach Canopy from our viewer appreciation giveaway back in April! Just wanted to share!

She could’ny wait for the beach so they used it at Camp Margarettaville in Piecon Forge.

This is what she told us:
“Hello!!! It’s not the beach because we haven’t made it there yet but we were excited to use the beach canopy so we put it up at Margaritaville in Pigeon Forge!! It works!!! Can’t wait to use it at the beach.”

The Lakeshore Effect series is back with another episode!

We've been sitting on this story for months — and we're finally ready to tell it.

You can see it from the monorail. You can see it from Fort Wilderness. You can see it from the Contemporary Resort. It just… sits there. In the middle of Bay Lake. Completely abandoned. Completely unaddressed.

Discovery Island closed on April 8th, 1999 — exactly 25 years to the day it opened. No announcement. No farewell event. No explanation.

What Disney never told you:
🦅 A species went extinct here — on Disney property — in 1987
🐾 Disney settled 16 animal cruelty charges for $95,000 in 1990
🚫 An urban explorer secretly camped on the island during COVID and was permanently banned from Walt Disney World

We’re bringing the full investigation to light this Sunday morning. The Lakeshore Effect continues.
This Sunday May 31st @9:30AM!

🇺🇸 This Memorial Day, we pause before the campfires and road trips to remember those who never made it home.
"All gave some. Some gave all."
To every fallen service member, and to the families who carry that weight — thank you. Enjoy the long weekend with gratitude.
— Jamie, Tonya, Simon & Annie 🐱🐱

If you missed it — we're celebrating America's 250th Anniversary with a new patriotic series! Our first adventure took us to FDR State Park in Warm Springs, GA, and we're heading to Washington D.C. next. Catch up on the series here 👇

Six months ago, Himiway sent me their A7 ebike. I'd never heard of them. My first thought? Is this just another generic Chinese ebike with a fancy label?

Before I agreed to the review, I told them one thing: if I find something I don't like, my audience is going to hear about it. That was the deal. They said fine.

So here's what six months of real-world RV testing actually revealed:
The box claims 80 miles on a single charge. It doesn't. I ran the test and I'll show you the real number.
The box claims 28 MPH. Not out of the box. That speed is buried in a complicated menu — and I walk you through exactly how to unlock it.

After all of it, one question remains: Is a $2,000 ebike actually worth it for RVers? What do you really get for that money?

I'm not bound to anyone but my own honesty. You'll get the full truth this Sunday.

Honest feedback asked for the latest drive-through video. A recent comment said this video gave him motion sickness. I don’t have motion sickness so it looked good to me. I included in the pin comments of the video to three different styles. Love to know what you all think. Comment on the video your honest thoughts.

Coming tomorrow, May 1st at 11 AM on Glamp Review: a full loop drive tour of the FDR State Park Campground.

We’d love your feedback on the camera setup—do you prefer the dual cameras mounted on top of the truck, or the e-bike view? I’m trying to avoid the fisheye effect from super wide lenses since it can make campsites look larger than they really are. Using two cameras—one facing left and one facing right—seems to give a more accurate perspective. Let me know what you think after watching.

This tour will be similar in style to our Gulf State Park driving tour.

Be sure to tune in tomorrow at 11 AM 5/1/2026 and catch it first!

COMING THIS SUNDAY — 4/26/26 at 8AM
America’s 250th RV Camping series continues!
What if we told you there’s a 2,500-acre hidden paradise in Georgia… and after 6 hours, we STILL didn’t see it all? 👀

Welcome to Callaway Gardens — America’s Garden of Eden 🌿
Built from worn-out farmland, this place was designed to help restore the American spirit through nature and conservation — rooted in the same belief that shaped FDR’s time in Warm Springs: that nature can truly revive you.

👉 Is it worth $33 a day?
🦋 Butterflies
🦅 Birds of prey
🚴 Scenic trails
⛪ Peaceful hidden gems

🏕️ We’re still camped right next door at FDR State Park — one of the best values we’ve found.

➡️ Next Friday May 1st 2026 full FDR State Park Campground loop tour!

➡️ The America 250 series continues this July… next stop: Washington, D.C.

⏰ Set your reminder — this one’s worth it.
