Fort Wilderness Campground

Pros: lots to do, secluded, plenty of room
Cons: bus service, only 2 pools

Our most recent stay at Disney World included four nights in a Fort Wilderness Cabin and that is where we will be returning next. Located a short boat ride from the Magic Kingdom, Fort Wilderness is the perfect place to lose yourself and your family in ...

Pros: Great Vacation, Lots to do outside the Theme Parks, Great fun for the whole family
Cons: Can be Expensive

We recently stayed at Fort Wilderness Resort and Campsite. We love Disney World and wanted to stay somewhere we have not stayed before. We were driving so finding it was very simple. You actually have to pass thru the Magic Kingdom entrance to ...

Pros: Great location, no fail hook-ups, clean
Cons: sites are a bit tight for camper plus vehicle, pay for wi-fi

I generally don't write a review on a product or service if so many reviews have been written. Very fine, excellent reviews to be sure. Yet during our recent excursion down south we came to realize that unless one is reading something very recent when ...

Pros: A woodsy paradise in the Disney World resort.
Cons: Not too well geared for people who don't have their own transportation.

First off, let me confess that I'm not really a camping kind of gal. For me, roughing it means a motel with outside corridors vs. a hotel with inside rooms. To give you an idea of my taste, my favorite Disney World hotels are the Wilderness Lodge and ...

Pros: Full Disney Magic, Easy Access to Parks, Reasonable Cost, Beautiful Simulation of Wilderness
Cons: More costly than Motel 6, but you do get your money's worth.

In early December, 1998, my husband, Pip, and I wanted to host a family Christmas trip in lieu of buying lots of presents that nobody needed. Two of our three children and their kids were able to join us. Somehow the trip began to grow. We invited Pip's...

Pros: Beautiful, private and LARGE cabin, activities at the campground, excellent service
Cons: bus system torturous, pool pretty dull for the price, difficult to get around

For our first trip to WDW, we decided to stay on-site. We had excellent rates ($179 tx incl/ night) due to an Annual Pass. Usually you pay more than $250/nt. Our family of 4 (husband, daughter 8 and son 4,and me) fit easily into the cabins. Each cabin is ...

Pros: tons of activities, the ability to eat a home cooked meal, the atmosphere
Cons: I would like to see Disney provide a few larger homes, so that Large families could enjoy this place

Camping in a tent is not my cup of tea, at this point in my life. As a child my parents took their 6 children camping many times and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I have such wonderful memories of various campgrounds - the campfires, hayrides, swimming in...

Pros: Quiet, clean, laid back fun, and super close to Magic Kingdom. Elbow room!
Cons: No food court. Lacks architectural "wow" of the other resorts.

My wife and I asked each other this question several times during our 4-night stay in early May. And believe me I had to convince her to stay here. She has zero interest in camping and was a bit apprehensive about the cabins (less so after seeing ...

Pros: A great place to camp; would be fun to visit even without the theme parks!
Cons: Staying within a strict budget requires careful planning and coordination.

My first trip to WDW (1989) was timed to coincide with my son growing tall enough to qualify for a ride on the Big Mountain Thunder Railway. We stayed with relatives in a nearby town that trip and while it was fun, I wanted to concentrate on enjoying...

Pros: shaded campsites, easy access to parks
Cons: none

I'm a life long camper and have camped in many different settings and styles ranging from strapping everything I need onto my back and walking from campsite to campsite to using the popup tent camper we purchased after our daughter's birth. I've camped...

Pros: everything
Cons: nothing

Fort Wilderness is the way to stay at Disney for those that cannot afford $100+ per night per room. Off season rates can be as low as $40, and in season about $60.
The campground is a park in itself. We usually stay about a week, and visit the...

Pros: Fun for your kids, relaxing for you!!
Cons: May be extremely HOT in afternoon during summer months.

One afternoon last week my husband and I decided to take a ride out to Fort Wilderness Campground and Resort. We had heard about pony rides and a petting zoo at the Tri Circle D Ranch Petting Farm from friends with small children and decided to check it...

Pros: Shaded sites, clean facilities, economical, lots for kids to do
Cons: Miserable if it rains

For at least three Easter vacations, we loaded up sleeping bags, tents, a week's worth of clothes for four people, pots and pans (?!?), and fishing poles and took a train from New Jersey to Orlando for a week of camping in Disney World.

Now...

Pros: LOTS of activities
Cons: the price is a little high

We have stayed in the Fort Wilderness Campground 4 times so far and each time it is a VERY wonderful experience! We have Two young children and find it very hard staying in hotels as they don't have enough room to run around and play and you have to...

Pros: Freedom for kids, exceptional sites, inexpensive
Cons: A little difficult to get around, little protection from rain

We have spent some of our best Disney World vacations in a tent. Disney's Fort Wilderness resort is made up of hundreds of tree-shaded tent sites and a number of RV sites, as well as fully-furnished travel trailers.

For families with...
