Dvc...c???
Has there ever been, is there, or will there ever be a DVC offering for Fort Wilderness as the primary purchase? We LOVE to camp and love FW but haven't seen any reasonable offering. Maybe a camper's version of what's offered at the resorts...

They don't offer it as an ownership but you can use DVC points for a campsite at Fort Wilderness, I think it's around 11 points per night.

Re: Dvc...c???
You can use points to stay there like other WDW places, but I'm guessing it won't ever be a DVC resort.

Re: Dvc...c???
We are paying about $100 per night...during Christmas. And that's lodging for 10 people.
I've thought about a regular DVC purchase, but it really isn't reasonable at all. Just thought it would be nifty if there was a special set up for campers. Oh well.

Re: Dvc...c???
Looks like full hookup is low of 7 points to high of 20 points. PLUS that stupid "reservation" fee ($95) which I think I heard they lowered to FW. Considering JUST the $5 per point annual dues average thats $35-100 per night plus reservation fee. Renting points at $10-13 would be even worst - probably about WDW rates.
Cabins look like 41-74 per night. For comparison, studios run 8-48 points per night. Staying at WDW locations other that DVC resorts is generally not a members best option.
