Vehicle length at Old Key West, Fort Wilderness cabins

[reddog]

This is a somewhat obscure question, but I'm wondering if there is a limit on length of a vehicle parked at OKW or at the cabins at FW. We have a 24 foot van (although it does have an overhang behind the rear wheels of about 5 feet) so it can park up to a curb. Looking at photos of cabins at FW I'm not sure it would be a fit, but also wondering in general about OKW and hotels that do not have the ability to park in two spaces (drive through).

Any info would be helpful as we don't want to have to park the vehicle someplace away from where we are staying (which is why I'm asking specifically about OKW or FW cabins).

Thanks in advance!

Specific to Fort Wilderness Cabins, I would ask on the camping thread. Specific to OKW I would ask on the DVC Resorts thread rather than here on the resorts thread.

At FW, I expect you would likely need to park in the overflow lot and not at your cabin. Below is a picture of a minivan at our cabin in 2010. There is about 2 feet between the cabin and the front of the minivan so not much space at all for a much larger vehicle.

It will not fit in the FW cabin parking space. Our Excursion is almost 19' in length and just fits.

You will need to park your van in the overflow lot at the entrance of FW, which has drive through parking spaces. I would also notify the front desk of my oversized vehicle and obtain a resort parking pass to put on the dash. Just to cover all the bases.

For OKW, you may be asked to park your van at Port Orleans.

Thank you - Looking like this could be a bigger problem than I anticipated. That photo at FW helps a lot and the possibility of parking at Port Orleans doesn't exactly make our own vehicle convenient. I realize calling the resorts is not going to necessarily result in a clear answer - does anybody know how to contact someone at OKW that might be able to give us an idea of what our options might be? If we aren't able to park easily than we will have to reconsider where to stay for our trip this spring. I will post on the individual boards for these resorts as well.
