I have some questions about camping at Fort Wilderness. We are thinking about renting a set up trailer....
1) Are there handicapped sites or is it just pay per location?
2) Which loop is the best for being close to things? I have a scooter so distance isn't an issue for me however we have little kids and renting a golf cart is out because we'd need to rent two for our family size.
3) Is the transportation difficult? Would we be better off renting a van than trying to get 7 people and a scooter into buses and boats?
4) Is there anything important I should know about this trip? IE is camping a terrible decision - any idea if other options would be better?
We are coming to Florida for about a month in Feb 2018. We are planning on renting a house or condo for the rest of the trip but wanted to stay on site for the first two weeks - 10 day passes so I can pace. I wanted on site because of the extended hours and fastpass booking but would give that up for an accommodation option that works better for our family. It's two adults, 2 teens, and 3 small children. I have a neurological disorder so I use a scooter. We also would have a stroller for our littlest child who has difficulty walking due to disability and will be almost 6 at the time of the trip. It's a MAJOR undertaking - we are coming from the West Coast in Canada and I'm both trying to be economical but also trying to make sure I don't set our trip but to be a disaster. I appreciate any suggestions and am in early planning. Thanks

). Has your family camped previously? Will you be in an RV or trailer, or tents? I guess my only concern might be to make sure your mobility challenges still allow you to access the RV and the sleeping spaces, which usually means going up some (steep) steps into the camper and even getting into bed can be climbing up/around things depending on the layout. If your family has never camped, I strongly suggest you try it for a long weekend before your WDW trip. One bathroom for 7 people is going to cozy; I'd suggest requesting a site near a comfort station so that will be an option as well.
