Ok, so only one question is related to Herpetology.
Anyways, HI! My name is Missy, but everyone knows me as AnnaBeth for whatever ungoddly reason. You can call me A.B. lol
Me (23) and DH (22) are reserving in the next week or two for Disney World in October (19-28). We are avid campers and after two months of debating, we have decided to camp at Fort Wilderness. I have looked through the picture thread and even on the Disney Site at all the ammenities, and it DEFINATELY looks like my cup of tea. I'm an M.S. candidate in Wildlife Biology and a Herpetologist specializing in Colubrids (harmless, egg laying snakes). So, I am more than excited to not only camp in Florida, but to BE AROUND FLORIDA HERPS!
Questions:
1) Have any of you caught glimpses of any snakes or lizards while you were camping?
2) Do you have any pics of said animals?
3) Are you allowed to walk down to the creeks and water edges, to look for animals or just to check it out?
4) How generic is it? Basically, am I going to be camping there like I'm in a summer camp or a hotter and much smaller hotel? Or can I explore and see animals and things?

Questions non-biology related:
1)My best friend is staying at the All-Star Music Resort. Is there a tram that goes between all the resorts? She may want to sleep over.
2) Does anyone have prices on the activities? I am particularly interested in the Horseback Riding and any trail tours I can get my hands on. I am also particularly interested in renting bikes. Do you rent the bikes for a certain amount of hours? or can you rent them by the week?
If you have any prices, that would be great. I already know that we are looking at 1200 dollars with no mealplan (we would rather bring some deer meat and things from home). So, we have plenty of room for fun expenses, besides the parks.
Thanks in advance!
