    Truck stop/Rest stop off I95?

    We have made the trip to Disney on 95. Like you, we look for a good stopping point in SC or GA. Our normal rule of thumb is that 500 miles is a long day on the road - so not sure how far you plan to go on day one. Here are two places we have used and can recommend. KOA Fayetteville in Wade...

    Private party on beach

    Thanks for the info. I was really curious about the fireworks show. We were in the 100 loop and had a great view of this amazing show. It seemed like a bigger and better show than Wishes. But, it was a bit too close for comfort - rattling the windows and I didn't appreciate all of the ashes...

    Decorations Question Thanksgiving Week

    I have not been to WDW for Thanksgiving. My one question is about Christmas decorations. I understand that the decorating for Christmas begins well before Thanksgiving. But, I am not sure when it the decorations are complete. Is there anything special about going on Thanksgiving Day or after...

    Where to stay on the way? Campground in SC? GA?

    We have had good experiences using the KOAs in Fayetteville and Savannah on the way to Fort Wilderness. If you haven't done a trip that long yet, consider using 500 miles as an estimate for a long day on the road. the eman

    Why do you rent a camper for camping?

    The poster asks why rent a camper to camp at Fort Wilderness. My guess is that it would be a great way to try camping in a friendly and easy spot. As others have said, if you have to pay to rent and for the site, you probably won't come out ahead. But, consider your food tastes and expenses...

    What size truck?

    This is a great question. I am not a truck expert, but I am happy to share what I learned. First, you need to know what you plan to pull. Travel trailers vary quite a bit in weight. Take a look at the specs for a few of your favorites. But, don't just look at the dry weight. You should factor...

    kids bikes?

    Fort Wilderness is a great place to ride bikes. There are some really nice bike paths and it is a good way to get to the pool or store. Terrain is level so very easy riding. When we first got our camper, we had four bikes we needed to bring; 2 adult and 2 child. Our first try was to put the...

    help,never traveled this far

    Good luck on your trip to the Fort. Here are a few tips I can share for a long trip. You are traveling with a travel trailer which is what I do. I haven't slept in a wal-mart or similar situation. I might feel more comfortable doing that in a Class A or C, but not in a travel trailer. I plan...
