Who's camping at Disney or nearby?

We have never been able to plan very far in advance because of my DH miltary job! Now that he's retired maybe we can actually plan a year ahead and get into FW next year! I grew up tent camping at FW and would love to show my kids where we stayed! Can you visit the campground if your not staying onsite?

Yes, you are free to visit the fort, however, you cannot drive your own vehicle through the campground to look around. You can park in the overflow lot at the entrance and either walk around or use the internal bus system. FYI: Even people staying at FW are not allowed to drive around the campground, we can only drive to and from our site. Otherwise, to get anywhere else in the campground we need to walk, bike, use a golf cart or take a bus to get from place to place within FW.

Yes!
We've visited there several times for the campfire singalong and just to walk around and check it out!

Oh btw you don't always have to plan a year ahead. When we recently booked the discounted cruise for May 31 09- I called and booked our May 24-31st stay at FW and had no problem getting a premium or preferred site. I don't know about the rest of the sites though. Then just recently (last week) I called to add May 23rd to our reservation without any problem. So just saying- you don't always have to book a year ahead. I guess that's changed because I know in 2007 we tinkered with the idea of making a reservation for the summer 2008 (yes a year ahead) and couldn't find any openings. So maybe it used to be that way- but not anymore? Anyway just saying you should check it out sometime and you might not have to book a year ahead.
