We just made our first Fort Wilderness reservation. I have an assortment of questions!
First, are there any discounts available? AP? DVC? AAA?
We need "room" only. We have our APs already.
Is it usual for the Fort to be full in February? We searched online and found a full hook-up site for Feb 10th- 16th, 2013. We wanted a preferred site, so called and were told they had no sites (not even full hook-up) available. I was surprised! This is the week before President's weekend. Fortunately we were still able to book the full hook-up site online. Should we keep calling and checking for a preferred site?
Should we request any particular site? We have 4 kids 8 and under. It would be nice to be close to transportation or playgrounds. It's also nice to have an easy site to get into.
And now the fun stuff...
I'm certainly not a newbie to WDW, but is there anything special I should know about Fort Wilderness? We've been to Mickey's Backyard BBQ (and it's not running in Feb. anyway, right?) and Hoop-dee-doo. I know about Chip and Dale's Sing-along and roasting marshmallows or making s'mores. I assume you can bring your own, right? Anything else I should be aware of? Thanks so much!
