Long story but I will try to make it short!!! My son joined the USCG in June and just got out of boot camp! We had no idea if he would be able to make our WDW trip this December. We had to wait on every decision for him. His girlfriend also just finished boot camp (same situation). My mom and dad are pulling their RV from Texas. My sister and I booked them a site over a year ago. My mom and dad are 70 and sometimes things get hard for them. Just to be safe, I also booked a partial site in my name. We booked a VRBO but if needed we would put up a tent and some of the kids could stay at Fort Wilderness if my parents could not make it. We wanted to cover all basis since it is December and Star Wars will be opening. We are tied to my parents for the experience so everyone can book 60 day FPs.
Now we know my son and his girlfriend can make it!!! I told him he could stay at the fort on the partial site if he wanted. He loves staying on Disney property! I have been looking for a small RV that we could have delivered (it is partial). I found one site that was like a VRBO thing. I am a little concerned on safety of using this site. It looks ok. It is call rvshare. Anyone heard of them? The larger companies all have large RVs.
We are also consider a tent for him. I looked up the Fort tents and they look big. The price I saw was $30/day?? I was trying to find someone that had pictures of the inside. Thoughts? We have a tent but the Fort tent is more like a cabin and it looks roomy. I want them to be comfortable.
Suggestions and thoughts? Thank you for everything!
Oh...I really don't think Disney gives any military discount on campsites anymore. Anyone experience different? Maybe a discount on the tent?
