My husband and I are thinking about camping at the fort long term. We live up north and visit Disney often in the winter at the mod and value hotels. Not really park people, just like to get out of the winter weather in a clean friendly place.

Thanks

Has anyone done back-to-back 30-day reservations on a full hook up site

What date would the reservations open from Jan 8 to March 8, 2027

What issues are common when staying this long

Has anyone brought their indoor cat along with them

Are there a lot of large snakes around the fort

Can you bring your own fishing gear to fish (and release)

How is the internet for streaming tv shows

Hi, Tink.

Well, good luck. Cause once you stay at the Fort, you’ll have a hard time staying home for future winters.

I’m not sure how the back to back 30 day reservation system works today. In the past, people would simply go up to the check in, tell them they are back to back reservations, and the CM hits a few buttons and you return to your site. It is common for lengthy stays.

A good thing about repeat trips around the same time frame is you’ll end up meeting people that also stay around the same time. We’ve never had a trip where we haven’t ran into multiple families and elderly couples that we have corresponded with in the year(s) before.

Cats and dogs are welcome.

I’ve never seen a snake. We’ve fished many times from behind our site (believed rules may have changed for this) and also around the canal near the meadows.

Internet is decent. I believe they have upgraded that, too.

Thank you for the info, when does Disney open 2027 reservations

I tried back to back 3 yrs ago, made them online, they called next day and said nope, 30 day max now, I suppose you could check out for a day or 2 and return, we left for 3 weeks last year and returned for a week, never hurts to try, seems disney policies are ever changing

Good wifi, never seen a snake, fishing ok

Residency laws in Florida changed a few years back, so Disney changed their rules too. Max stay is 30 days, you then have to leave (I’m not sure for how long but I’m sure @bama_ed knows). But after whatever amount of time you have to leave, you can come back for another 30 days.

As far as cats, they are welcome but be very careful, there a few resident cats now that escaped from their owners RVs and were never able to be caught and returned to the owners.
