Future camping at FW

[jme829]

One of these days I would like to camp at FW on a Disney trip.
Does Fw offer the same types of "packages" that the resorts have? Ex-tickets, dining plan, etc...

We are hopefully buying a camper within the next year. Just wondered what DIsney specific amenites are offered (other than basic camping ammenities like showers, etc..) I'm talking more " WDW resort" type benefits..

It's pretty much the same as any other Disney resort as far as free parking at the parks, free use of the transportation system, that sort of thing. You can buy the dining plan, but you can't get the free dining plan unless you are staying in the cabins. You can purchase items in the park and have them sent to the resort, but you have to pick them up at the Meadows trading post. FW is a very large resort so you have to either use the internal bus system, walk, ride a bike or use a golf cart to get around the resort. When you reserve a site, you are given the option of "room only" or a package including park tickets, if you want.

As ftwildernessguy pointed out, other than the free dining plan, all other packages are available to FW camping guests.

As far as "resort" amenities there are:

two pools on property (not themed though)
a nightly Chip & Dale sing-a-long, marshmellow roast, and movie
daily trail rides (extra fee)
carriage rides (extra fee)
wagon ride (extra fee)
a great buffet restaurant serving B, L, D
a great dinner show (advance reservations required)
a full marina with water mice, pontoon boats for rent
several playgrounds, basketball goals, tether balls all around the campground
Bike Barn rentals including golf carts, bicycles, paddle boats, canoes, kayaks
Two "trading post" stores with Disney merchandise and some camping/grocery items.
A beautiful walking/jogging/bicyle trail over to Wilderness Lodge (No golf carts allowed). (Great chance to spot deer and other wildlife)

What else am I missing??
