I'm so glad to read that I was not the only one that went through every single pic and spend way too much time doing so ![smile :) :)](http://www.wdwinfo.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
You will just love your trip to FW. Beware the Fort bug bites pretty hard![Title pixiedust: pixiedust:](http://www.wdwinfo.com/images/smilies/pixiedust.gif)
Yes you can just bring your bikes, a cart in not needed but it does make the trip more enjoyable for some. I like to bring my cart cause I love to loop, look around at others campsite, look, stare with envy, drool a bit, stalk, loop again, drink and loop and there are many ways you could look at it. Also, we avoid having to wait for the internal bus system this way and thus shaving 30 mins a day or more off your trip. Some people fly and don't have bring your own bike option and or have small kids and have a site too far for the littles to walk, etc, etc, lots of reasons. Side note, you can rent a bike at the bike barn too.
But really, the whole indoor plumbing thing is kinda over rated don't you think? I mean they do provide you with a bucket in all. Who needs a shower? You can totally use the canal by your site or even better hop in Bay Lake! Just make sure to close your eyes. Indoor pool? Ummmm don't those require swimsuits? I like to travel light ya know! Plus my kids only know how to swim in that there outdoor pool, I'm not sure they can swim in the other....what did ya call it...indoor? Have to google that one.
I'm kidding, I promise. Just messing around![smile :) :)](http://www.wdwinfo.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Fort Wilderness is a far better choice for our family because you can make your site, your own, your home away from home. Whether that be in a tent or a million dollar motor home. Why box your family up in a hotel box when you can relax and enjoy the outdoor scenery and sounds nature provides? I like the fact my kids can run around and be a kid and I enjoy not having to worry about who or what was in that bathtub before me, same for the bed...

I realize that this thread is "no longer in use," but I just spent the better half of two afternoons going through the pictures! What a great thread!! I sure hope to see it resurrected in the future. I am planning our first trip to FW for June of 2015, FHU site only with a travel trailer. My wife and I are lifelong campers, but we have never been to FW. The pics on this thread really help with site selection and hopefully we will be able to get a good site in June!

At $80 a night, seems high even if the space has hookups & pool. Then I heard mention of $60/day for a cart to ride around. Can we just bring bikes instead? And, curious as to why people choose a campsite instead of hotel w/ indoor plumbing for only $25 more (Disney value hotel), or could stay off-site for LESS THAN the $78 camping fee? (Using Hotwire)
