Now, now, everyone needs to hush up about the Fort. It's hard enough to get ressies as it is. And it's really not all that great...really.
No worries about me booking a site unless it is a throwaway for some reason lol. Still not sure why someone would book any onsite room of any type as a throwaway but that is just me lol.
With our length, we only book Premium (which you'd be nuts to book as a throwaway), and I still have to book a year or more out!
We have reservations for POR in July. We have always tent camped here in CT, but are looking into buying a camper. Although it seems like a no brainer to drive down and camp, and will save us over $1200 than staying in a hotel, I am wondering what the downsides might be. Hubby assures me there will be A/C which is my only concern I think the kids will love the change, and it will be something new and exciting. Discuss....
Dicneyhabs, Ok, you HAVE stayed there. You were likely in Loop 900, give or take a 100. I'm not sure if they had premium sites then, but any of those in that area would be premium today, meaning more concrete, higher prices, and no coquina. The Fort is not for everybody, and I'm sorry you aren't among the devotees. The paddle boats are gone, but they have some runabouts in Bay Lake for rent, and some canoes for use in the Meadows lake and canals. No train or trams, just busses and a daily Segway Tour (extra cost). Come check us out on a day visit. It's relaxing and a good home port for Park Hopping.
...we keep the RV stocked with nice wine, and shrimp cocktail to enjoy outside during downtime. We can always get take-out from Trails End if we want. Really, if you like the lifestyle that camping offers, you will enjoy the Fort (and a new camper ).
If I contribute to the happy hour can I join you? Or better yet, when we finally make it back -- with our new fifth wheel -- you can join us. I'll supply white wine, cheese, crackers and shrimp cocktail. Just bring a bottle of red if you don't like white
I will say when we go in Dec (our usual time to visit the world) we do love walking through the Fort and seeing the sites decked out in holidays trim that we do enjoy. Yes I believe we were in either 800 or 900 loop 900 seems more likeley looking at the pictures of the trip. The comfort station was almost directly behind our concrete home lol. The concrete pad was quite large on our site and all but the awning for the trailer was on the concrete. The posts for the awning were off the concrete and on the grass. We were one of the first sites in off the main road/bus route and could see Meadows and the bus stop from our site easily. I will be back down in Sept this year for my DDs 18th b day first week of Sept so if you are around I would be happy to stop by and say hello.
We were in 900 a couple years ago in the summer; a couple site back from the CS. We won't be there in Sept, but we are mostly a recurring Christmas/New years visitor. Maybe someday our paths will cross, after all, we met Ed last Spring on a rare Spring break trip.

I didn't see this and I was wondering. Like the original poster we will be getting a travel trailer this year and are thinking of Disney camping (at least I am). Obviously you can get park tickets for the same price anywhere. The question is meal plan bonus when they offer it at other resorts in their deals???
The family and I are going to be there 12-6 through 12-13. Hope to be as fun as last December.
