Re: fort wilderness campground
We have not stayed at FW camp but we also love Trails End. They have the best chicken in all of Disney. I agree about prices...the buffet price for the 4 of us... is fantastic. Service has always been great also. One of our favorite, out of the way meals.

Re: fort wilderness campground
We have camped there a few times - even through Hurrican Andrew. They made us sleep in the Hoop de Doo Revue hall.
We have not been back since we had children, the closest we got was the Cabins - which was great fun!

Re: fort wilderness campground
I stayed at Fort Wilderness for 14 years straight in my Grandma and PopPop's 'Tioga Arrow' RV and to this day my BEST Disney memories were staying there. I used to LOVE riding my bike to the store, renting canoes, and zooming around in a golf cart everywhere. I used to take the hayrides, and I used to love going to the campfires, and playing volleyball on the sand court. "Jack Rabbit Run," we stayed in that loop a lot and I sware I remember my Grandma bringing her dog so there must be a pet loop somewhere too. My FAVORITE thing was how everyone would decorate their campers for the holidays.
![]() I miss it so much in fact that I wanted to RENT an RV just to go stay there again. DH looked at me like I was absolutely crazy but hey, I'll convince him one day!

Re: fort wilderness campground
Fort Wilderness is the only place I have ever stayed at WDW. There is so much to see and do. I love that I can share some of my favorite memories from camping there with my parents with my DH and DS's now. Of course my parents come along too...I don't think I could get down to WDW without them tagging along. At least they still have their own trailer
Last trip down my brother and his wife borrowed a camper and came along too. My DSIL isn't a camper but after all the fun we had, they ended up buying their own trailer and are coming with us again in the spring. DSIL is even trying to figure out the best way to decorate the campsites for Easter.

Re: fort wilderness campground
Sounds great...BUT....
What is the Disney Transportation like? When we stayed at PO Riverside we had to wait almost an hour for a bus back from MK and Epcot..after the fireworks (this was in June). The line was curling thru the cue area and then all the way down the middle of the line shelter. Is the transportation as bad or do they have more busses for FW than POR? Thanks |

Re: fort wilderness campground
Well FW has a few more options. Boat from MK is pretty quick (or walk through Contemporary and take a boat from there). Buses from other parks are not bad. Some buses serve W Lodge as well, but we never had a problem.

Re: fort wilderness campground
We love FW so much that we go there every 2 or 3 months :) It's very easy going and fun there. Going so often helps us use the heck out of our APs ;)

We watched the MK fireworks from the FW dock. We didn't have time to see the zoo, the movie, sit around tha campfire or do the woop-de-do revue. But, there is always this January 2009!

Re: fort wilderness campground
So excited to take ds there when he is a little older. That is the only place that I will probably ever go camping. Just not the camping kind of gal.
