Adding a reservation for one night

[pgumiela]

We are camping at the Fort in May for 4 nights, we booked as a package with tickets and the dining plan. We usually leave for Disney after DH gets off of work, drive to the Georgia/Florida border, stay overnight and then arrive late morning/lunch time the next day. We just decided yesterday that he would take off the day that we are planning on leaving so we can just leave to drive down in the morning and arrive at Disney by mid to late afternoon. I am planning on just adding a one night reservation at Fort Wilderness and not adding on to our package. Mostly because we are arriving later in the day, we are just going to hang out at the campgrounds, cook at our site etc. So I don't want to pay for another day on the dining plan, and I don't need to add to our park days.

My question/concern is, will we have to check out the next day and move campsites, or will we be able to be placed where we are going to stay for the other 4 nights. I know with the other resorts it's hit or miss if you will have to move rooms, but since this is a campground, and we will have a tent to tear down and set back up are we more likely to not have to move? DH really does not want to have to set up the tent, take down the tent, set up the tent all within 12-16 hours jusk kidding I don't either.

When you make a site only reservation for the extra day be sure to link the 2 reservations together. By doing this your chances of being moved are slim to none.

Make sure you're one night ressie is of the same camp site type (Premuim, Preferred, etc) as your site in the package. Then link the two ressies as 2goofycampers said and you are set.

Hopefully your experience in this situation will be better than ours. A few years ago we got their earlier than expected, called and asked if we could come in a night earlier, they said yes, no problem. Well, when we got there they said our site was not ready and put us away in another loop. We had no choice, but the next morning early, called them and they told us they don't usually move you once they give you a site. Our site was to be in 100 loop and they argued and gave us a rough time, finally agreeing to call us when a site opened up. Well, they were determined at this point to give us as much hassle as possible, so even after calling several times, they finally told us our site was ready at 1pm - made us basically miss a whole park day I was so upset, but we couldn't "make" them let us move early (we even went down there (to loop 100) and there were empty sites early in the morning ) but they said they hadn't been "cleaned" yet! Wrong! That is the worse experience we have ever had there and we will not do it again. Good luck!
