Hi Everyone! I'm just dropping in here on the camping board to ask a Ft. Wilderness question.
My extended family is coming down next October. It will be the first fall trip for the grandparents (who are avid campers up here in Michigan) so I thought a stop at the Fort would be a neat idea. We are coming in on a Saturday and staying for a week at the Boardwalk. The family has 6-day park tickets, meaning that on our arrival day, we are not planning on going to a park.
I was thinking that (depending on our arrival time) it would be a good idea to head over to Ft. Wilderness, eat dinner at Trail's End and then catch the wagon ride at 7pm. Our group consists of 6 adults and 4 girls, ages 4, 8, 11 and 13. Do they still do these every night? I see that it is a first come, first served and no reservations are available. Do they fill up fast? I don't want to get the kids' hopes up and find out that it might not work. I know that the campsites are filled with Halloween decorations and I thought it would be a nice way to start out our trip.
Any input? Thanks!
