Camping Newbie

[dragitoff]

DW and I just went on our 1st camping trip together this past weekend. We're certain we'll be doing that often with our DD8 and DD5. Since we both love Disney, I wanted to find out some things about the Campgrounds at WDW and the info on the Disneyworld website was somewhat limited. Here are my questions (or at least what I could think of)

1. Are there any restaurants at the WDW campgrounds?
2. Are there on-site showers and restrooms (I would think so, but couldn't find that anywhere)
3. Are there playgrounds for the kids?
4. Is the transportation convenient and easy to use (at least as good as the resorts)?
5. Are there size restrictions on the tents?
6. Is there a map of the campsites available somewhere to determine the best possible spot?
7. Can you request certain spots or is it 1st come/1st serve?

First, realize FW is a resort with all the amenities and then some. Pools, recreation, transportation, entertainment, and some unique stuff only found or done at the Fort.

As advised already, read the threads. Another good source is allearsnet.com

Yes, you can request particular campsites or loops, but not guaranteed.

Yes, Disney's own website leaves a lot to be desired for real info.
