We love Ft. Wilderness! I've never camped there, but we stayed in a cabin last year and it was GREAT! They give you a list of activities when you check in and it looks like you could stay busy without leaving the place! Your boys will love it!
We stayed in a cabin back six years ago I think it was, and I agree! It was fun! The more I think about it, I am not sure what we will have time for, but I am sure we will have time to nose around, it will depend on how hot it is. We are not going to rush to get there from Vero. I think once we set up camp, we'll probably just explore some of the area, and maybe go over to Wilderness lodge for a drink before Dinner. We are going to eat at the Contemporary that night, and want to see Wishes! I think we will take time to explore Ft. Wilderness, b/c we may rent a cabin next time we do Christmas there...
How FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will love FW, so many cool activities and how great to do it with the freedom of not going to a park. You could fill a whole day just there!
For me, I think Typhoon Lagoon is better for that age, I know my kids had a blast at 4&5, as well as at 9&11 but since I've not actually been to BB I suppose I'm just biased. I just like the theming better
although we've promised BB on the next trip.
Thanks for the tip about the waterpark! I am on the fence b/c I have the clearer memory from Blizzard Beach, this was BEFORE kids... and then we went to Typhoon Lagoon when Nolyn was 6 mos (with grandma) and Griffin was 3, and it was a blur... go figure!!
I want to make sure there is plenty for them to do and we get our day out of it!!!
Looking forward to having fun camping that night.. I would like to go to the campfire event, we may do that, too... I know it is going to be HOT, but hopefully not dreadfully so, and it is one night. We have a tent that can basically give a full cross breeze without losing privacy, so I think we will be okay, not sure we'll even need the sleeping bags!!! AND for one night, I can do it. We just agreed that the boys will have a great time doing it! And we can say we did!
Sounds like you will have a great time!! I am with Michelle....I would have opted for two nights at AKL
but it will be a fun adventure for your kids!!
I "rough" it enough without air conditioning at our cottage in the summer
What a wimp I am!!
There is so much to do at AK....pool activities/games...walk over to Kidani for the pool area there....campfire at night, I think there is a parade of some sort in the afternoon with some of the CM's. Lots and lots to do
I wonder if your ADR's will have anything in common with the color blue and a place where animals are kept on display....

Oh you just know me so welll..... Seriously, can I tell you the true dilemma we have had the past two nights?? How to get to Blue Zoo without paying for childcare, when all we really want is drinks and crab nachos!!??!!
We'd spend $$ if we took advantage of the "free" care at the Dolphin b.c we would each have to order an entree, AND we'd spend almost as much if we put the boys in the sand dollar club at the BC. So Matt was thinking can't they just play outside??!! I about choked!!!
We have decided that if we go early enough, like when they open, we could sit in one of the booths near the bar (they are removed from the dining room, and we saw kids there once before. We figure earlier when it is dead anyhow, won't be a problem. Then we'll get the boys pizza on the boardwalk!
As far as the camping, it will be an adventure, and something new, so I am up for it! Knowing I'll be at the AKL next will help too!!!!
A tent?!?!?
Oh but you are brave!!!
HA! Well, BRAVE, sure. Or REALLY STUPID.
Yes, the jury is out on that one... it will be interesting, that I can confirm!!!
AND MiniGolf!!!! 
not sure yet... But somehow in these 48 hours I have to coordinate a DISmeet with some great DISers who I know will be close! So we'll figure it out! 
Even I can't believe it!!!
