Since this was our first camping trip to the Fort, I thought I would let folks know how things went and what to expect for the other newbies.
Fort Wilderness camping is more than just camping, it is the true definition of glamping. We were in a 31’ FW and were located in the 1900 loop (Full Hook-Up) on site 1901. Most of the sites in this loop are somewhat difficult to back into, but doable. I was fortunate enough to have an across the street neighbor on site when we pulled in and he moved his truck to give me a little more maneuvering room. I could have gotten in the site without him moving but it made it somewhat easier.
Our full hook-up site included cable TV connection, WI-FI (although somewhat slow), 50/30/20 amp. connections, water, sewer connection along with a level concrete pad and picnic table. There was enough room on the back side of the site for a tent (probably about a 10’x10’ tent). We were only 2 sites away from the bathroom and about a 3-minute walk to the internal bus stop. Wherever your sight is, you’re never more than 2 minutes from a bathroom.
Speaking of bus stops … there are internal busses that run about every 10-15 minutes. The internal busses are used to get to Pioneer Hall, Settlement camp store, Meadows camp store and pool area, the boat landing, and the Outpost. The Outpost is where you have to go to switch busses in order to get to the parks. You can also take a boat to MK or to the transportation center. If you happen to have a golf cart or bicycles, both of the above destinations are short rides. Disney provides plenty of parking for golf carts and bicycles at both locations.
The Settlement camp store and the Meadows camp store carry most of the basic staples needed for camping along with the usual Disney trinkets and clothing. The Outpost provides for reservation services and a place to pick up things that you may have purchased within the other parks.
The experience of camping at Fort Wilderness only adds to the total “magical” experience of Disneyworld. If you are considering a camping trip and a Disneyworld visit, don’t miss the opportunity to experience the best of both worlds.
