    Extra Magic Hours worth it?

    it all depends upon the time of year you are going. If going during the busy times, then it will probably be best to go to a different park then the one that extra magic hours is at. if going during the off season, I plan the entire day based around EMH. I get the family up, go to the...

    Is camping at fort wilderness "dirty"?

    I truly think the feet thing is what worried her the most. I mean, we live in the country- both of us grew up not wearing shoes from june through august. It is honestly the dirtiest I have ever seen my daughters feet. But it being the cleanest campsite will make her feel better.
