renting a camper (I meant RV)

[Nutz4Dizney]

I have always stayed (except once) in a Deluxe or Mod resort BUT I'm thinking about doing something very very different this year since hubby will not be going.


My original plan was to stay at the Port Orleans Riverside again. I love it because it has a tremble bed. My son will be 9 and he is horrible to sleep with. With the tremble bed my mother has 1 bed, I have 1 bed and my son sleeps on the tremble when my hubby goes we rent 2 rooms everyone gets a queen

I have a couple of questions
Has anyone ever rented a RV to stay on Disney property?
If so, do they do a drop off-pick up service. I don't think I can handle a trailer LOL

If free dining comes out do people who stay in the RV qualify for it?


any help would be great
thanks

I know there is someone that rents a popup. and some one else that rents a travel trailer they set up everything for you. Free dining is not available to campsites.

There is a rental service for a pop-up that may fit your needs. Here is the URL: http://www.makecampingeasy.com/. It has a bed on each end (for you and your mom) and the kitchen table (dinette) folds down for a single bed (your son). They set it up for you before you arrive at the Fort and take it down for you. All you have to do is reserve a campsite and they do the rest. I saw this service being used when I was at the Fort this past Thankgsgiving week.

I would think you would like the relaxed atmosphere of the Fort and your son would enjoy all the fun things to do there.

You can cook a few meals or heat things up (the trailer rental comes with a microwave and electric skillet) and it has a fridge so you can buy a few groceries and save some $$$$. Then you can schedule a nice Disney meal here and there. Some folks say they don't want to cook on vacation but it's such a winner $$$ that paper plates and cups makes cleanup easy. We go off Disney property to buy groceries at a Winn Dixie or Publix and it works out great.

This is a viable option for your plans I think so good luck with it.

You can also consider getting a cabin which sleeps 6 and I believe you are able to get the free dining with this (just not the campsites).

thank you for your suggestions.
Mom can't stay in a popup, she's claustrophobic. My subject should say RV rental sorry about that.

I'm one of those that don't cook in a camper, at a camp site, in disney or at home LOL

I looked into the cabins. For my plans it would cost me over $6,000.00 compared to a little over $3,000.00 for POR. I didn't realized RV's were so expensive.

thanks for all the help everyone
