    Disney bound from Ontario, Canada in November

    I don't think you would need to winterise before you go down, but you might need to on the way back We head down in December & usually don't winterise until our ride back to Michigan

    Towing from No CA to WDW, 'best' route?

    You shouldn't have any trouble going through anytime between 3 to 5am. That's when we go through & there is very little traffic. Also I stay away from the far right lane because one second it's a normal lane next thing you know it's an exit only lane

    Cost to use Wilderness Lodge exercise?

    Does anyone know what the cost is to use the exercise facility at the wilderness lodge, if you are staying at the fort. I think in the past it was free if you were a DVC member.

    Live from The Fort!

    I see what you mean about that site, it looks like up north Michigan Great pictures , thanks for sharing. We were there in July, had site 1112, its next to the cabins, so its a far from everything, but we had plenty of elbow room We can't wait to come back for Christmas & see all the decorations.

    Should I freak out yet about the availablity of site for the week of Christmas?

    Keep trying, vacation plans change and get adjusted You can call or check online, I have been lucky both ways its all about timing. For example, you calling to reserve a site and some else canceling at the same time. I think you still have enough time.

    Big Rigs

    My wife likes the 1400 loop because its close to the pool, tennis courts, etc.. Any premium loop works for me because of the larger cement pad We have a Monaco Windsor 40' and sometimes it can be a little tight maneuvering the motorhome in and out of the loops when we check in & check out

    help,never traveled this far

    We drive down from Howell Mi two or three times a year stopping at a KOA in Sweetwater Tenn (about half way) or if we get an early start we stop for the night just south of Atlanta that way we miss the heavy traffic going through Atlanta earlier in the day

    Wagon East! Trip Report

    Great trip report We love the pictures It seems like there is always something to fix especially when you drive as far as you do. We make the trek down from Michigan, I have had flat tires, trans problems, you name it. But its all good when we get to the fort.

    Need advice on fort wilderness reservations

    I would book the full hookup site & keep trying to upgrade, as you get closer to the dates you need you might catch a cancellation
