We didn't (I don't camp well) but close friends just returned from a 9 day/8night trip in a pop-up camper. They LOVED Ft Wilderness. Just raved about it. We've eaten and walked around there and it's quite tranquil and beautiful.

They felt the facilities were the best out of any KOA, etc. they have ever camped at (they camp alot).

There's a huge amount of info over on the Camping board. Our friends researched there quite a bit before leaving.

I camped there once over 20 years ago and loved it! You should check out the "Camping at Disney" forum!

I'd definitely check out the special Camping board. I grew up going to WDW and staying at FW. So last year when DH and I took our daughter for her 1st Disney trip, I had to show them Fort Wilderness. It's a very large campground, with individual loops where the campsites are located off of the main road. That road goes from the resort's entrance down to Pioneer Hall. The price per night depends on the location of your campsite. Transportation is by boat or bus. I think you can reach WL from FW through walking trails. I"m not sure exactly the types of questions you have, but if you can't find them on the separate board, just fire away. I absolutely loved staying here growing up and plan to rent a cabin here one day.

Some things to know - there's lot to do at FW. There's pools, bike trails, segway rentals (cool!), walking trails, boat rentals on Seven Seas Lagoon, beach, canoe rentals for the stream, restaurants, nightclub, 2 gift shops and camp provision store, farm, Mickey's Backyard BBQ, movies, Hoop de do Revue, and night time water show. The bathrooms are clean and of course there's full hookups and cable. Lots of regulars decorate their campers and sites for Christmas, and that's something to see.

Lisa,

Camping at FW is wonderful. It's hard for some people to go back to the regular resorts after staying at the Fort. There is so much to do there that we make sure we have some days we don't plan on going to any of the parks. Horseback riding, bike riding, canoes and kayaks, planned activities, swimming, Chip and Dale campfire program, golf cart rentals, wagon rides, the Hoop Dee Doo Review.

Taking the boat to the MK is wonderful. The Trail's End restaurant onsite offers a family friendly buffet as well as some carry out choices. There are two Trading Posts with soveniers as well as basic camping supplies.

You can see the fireworks from MK as well as the electric water pagent on the beach at FW.

If you check out the stickys at the top of the camping page you will find lots of useful information. There are also several "picture" threads.

Hope this helps

RIDISNEYLOVER/Lisa,

Your thread has been moved to the right place. Cruise our board and you will find all the info you need.

You will also determine quickly the "personalities" of the posters on the FW/Dis board. Some, like Shannone, are earnest, true, and helpful. Our tireless moderators are also polite and honest.

Then we come to some of the more energetic, need I say, juvenile, members of the board. You've already met some of them on this thread. They mean well but they bring their playfullness onto any thread and keep the conversations/insults/compliments right on going jumping from thread to thread.

I took pity on you and thought I should explain. My DW's name is Lisa so I thought I would butt in.

Okay, I'm gone now. You may resume your regular postings! Class, I'm going to the office for a moment - be on your best behavior for the new girl today.

I think so

I think everyone on the camping part of this board is helpful, no reason we can't have a little fun at the same time!

That was directed totally at you Rog. No one else here has that kind of a reputation.

 

[BigDaddyRog]

Al...Im all about self confidence...but do you HAVE to post your picture in ALL of your threads???

 

[PolynesianPixie]

Oh Gawd I just about choked!

In all seriousness.......what was the question?????????????????

OH! Yeah, FW is fantastic! You are at Disney! You are in your own bed! You have ammenities galore at your disposal! You have people like US!!!!!!!! I don't know about that night club of which you all speak.....but I'm game!

 

[abbdrey]

Oh Gawd I just about choked!

I had to quote you PolynesianPixie... I had the exact same reaction. I thought the picture was funny, but just about choked on my drink when I read BDR's response.

 

[AuburnJen92]

Nah, here is the pic he needs!
