Hi, I've been a long time DIS lurker and occasional poster. We haven't camped at the Fort in 15 years, we had a pop up and we stayed at a hotel on the way down, but have been to WDW once or twice a year flying down and staying in hotels (on or offsite), rental houses and time shares; usually visiting in October, February, April and one July trip. We visited the Fort and attended Hoop de Doo on every trip . I have planned an end of July trip with our TT for 9 days at the Fort and 4 days as our stop on the way back home at the Outer Banks.
We are traveling from Central/Western NY (Rochester). We are not committed to a route at this time (I get the DC issue but we are pretty good at timing to avoid the traffic) but are not opposed to the WV route either. We would plan to drive 10-13 hours (2 drivers) the first day and only stop for quick gas/potty breaks. With any of our route options, I would expect we would be stopping in North or South Carolina. We are traveling with our 14DS, meeting our 16DD and leaving our 22DS home to work, we are pulling our 25 TT with one slide.
I did a search and found a few recommendations but no recent threads (if there is one I missed please post a link). I need tips on where to stay on the way down? Do we stay at a campground?
If so please share your favorites and why? Do we pull into a truck stop? Walmart? Something else? How does it all work, do you slide out, unhitch? We have camped our whole lives but never did a one night stop in the camper.
Thanks in advance,
Pam
