Queen or King Bed in any of the cabins?

[minniebride]

Do any of the cabins have a bed that is larger than a full or double?

Thanks!

That's a big "negatory" there minniebride.

No queen or kings. Even a double definition is a stretch IMO.

Make sure you check out the cabin pictures so judge for yourself. http://www.wdwinfo.com/Photos/Fort-Wilderness-Campground/cabin-campsite/index.htm

Thank you for the info and for that link. I'll be fine with it, just not sure about my 6 foot tall husband

Are the cabins split between two different families? In one of the porch pictures it looks like there are two front doors.

The main door (nearest the stairs on the deck) comes into the kitchen/living room portion of the cabin. The backmost door onto the deck is at the foot of the double bed back in the bedroom. It's probably there so the people in the back bedroom can get outside (to the car, to get coffee, etc) without waking up anyone sleeping in the living room.

The cabin has a bedroom in back with a double bed and a bunk bed with a closet; a door off the room goes out on the deck. There is one bathroom in the middle of the cabin. Then the kitchen/dining area with pots/pans/dishes/utinsels and a living room at the front with a couch and the flip down murphy bed (small double) in the front wall. The door to the deck is off the kitchen area.

If DH is 6 foot he should be fine. (Not 6-6 or anthing like that). If two adults are somewhat Pooh-sized it could be cozy but it should be manageable. Cabins are wonderful because they have the kitchen and you can cook some meals and save some dining $$$$ but they are pricey to start with. We started in cabins and moved to a pop-up trailer and have saved money overall. But if I had the dough to get a room on property the cabins would be the way I would go.

I think it has to do with the fact that the cabins are really trailers or more likely mobile homes in the eyes of the FL state government. So I always figured it was a fire safety issue that only applies to homes of that sort. Since the bedroom has a door, it has to have some sort of outside egress i.e. a door.

As for not waking up people in the other room, the door is pretty much in the hallway and not near the Living room really.

A lot depends on how many people you're going to have with you. My DU and DA shared the murphy bed in the living room (and he's 6'4" to her 5'4") but one of them could have slept on the bottom bunk if they had been uncomfortable, since they only had 2 other people with them. If you're going with five or six people, and absolutely can't get a good night's sleep without being in a "big" bed, I would say a cabin is not for you.

There are six of us and saying the cabins sleep six is a real stretch. My husband and I are on the larger side, the three of our kids who are adult sized are tall average and our 9 year old is tall for his age but still kid sized. None of us could share either of the double beds. I started the night sharing with my 9 year old and couldn't even do that, no room to move. Thankfully he was short enough for the couch so we each had our own bed including the air bed we brought along. Not sure what we'll do next time since we love the cabins but he'll be too tall for the couch. Might try to fit in a second air bed somewhere but I'm not sure where it would fit.

. . . The backmost door onto the deck is at the foot of the double bed back in the bedroom. It's probably there so the people in the back bedroom can get outside (to the car, to get coffee, etc) without waking up anyone sleeping in the living room . . .

1) Actually, it is federal law.
2) The "cabins" are mobile homes.
3) HUD Standards require two exterior doors for mobile homes.

NOTE: In a past life, I ran divisions that manufactured trucks, firetrucks,
school buses, RV frames, and (smaller) mobile home frames. We had to
make sure where the exit steps would be placed for small mobile homes,
such as the cabins.
