Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Heading for Fort Wilderness - Disney World!
Permalink  

Leaving for Ft. Wilderness on 12 January, will be there from 14-20 January.  Lucky for me my leave was approved and I was able to get a reservation.  It's our favorite campground, this time of year off season, it's $55/night for FHU site plus cable.


This is our 10th trip to Disney World in the last 30 years, 5th time at Ft. Wilderness.  We honeymooned at Disney World 30 years ago on our motorcycle and tent, complete with a "Just Married" sign on the Gold Wing.


This is our first time by ourselves since we first visited.  If you're around Ft. Wilderness, please drop in, we're the Winnebago Adventurer with the "R-SANITY" license plates.


Best Regards!

We just love Fort Wilderness! There is so much to do there and you don't even have to go to the theme parks. I feel like it is such a safe place for the kids. They stay out until around 10:00 (11:00 for the oldest) swimming,riding bikes, or going to the campfire movies. There is so much to do. We have been several times and we always try to stay in the same loop (close to the pool) We use hand held walkie talkies to communicate with everyone.


Have a wonderful time! Wish we could go. We were there this past Feb.


Ann and Tom

FIrst of all, Tropical Palms is the closest nice campground to Disney, it is right outside the gates.  Call and make a reservation.

Then keep calling the Disney Reservation line first thing (8:AM EST) in the morning, that is when they post the previous days cancellations.  Keep trying and trying, you just may be able to score a site in Ft. Wilderness, then you can cancel Tropical Palms.

It may be several days or even weeks before you get a FW site, but keep on trying, it is worth the effort.  Don't use the Disney website for FW reservations, just call and call.  People tend to have to cancel at the last minute, so don't give up. biggrin

Good Luck!

Thanks Paul,

I'll try that, we did get some reservations at a KOA nearby with a free shuttle to Disney, but there's nothing like staying at Fort Wilderness.
