Vacation Part 3: Disney's Fort Wilderness Campground Resort

We were excited to camp at The Fort.  Everyone recommended staying there and said it would be wonderful.  We were greeted by a very cheerful and informative hostess.  She explained how to get to our campsite and where the amenities were located in relation to our site.  We followed her directions and didn't have one problem with finding our site 1706.

We settled in for the remainder of the day and did a bit of resort exploration and hoping.  This was our home for the next nine days and we were able to relax every evening from our park trips.  The comfort stations in our loop were clean and convenient.  I had to do laundry twice during our stay and it was a no hassle experience.  Just make sure you bring your debit/credit card with you to work the machines. 



The wild turkeys greeted us every morning.  They would walk within a foot of us and just kept foraging. One turkey tried to follow a fellow camper into her RV! 


The campground was quiet for the most part and very well kept.  Many campers decorated their sites for the upcoming holidays.  I don't know how some of them had room to bring all the outdoor displays with them!



We did note that the transportation of buses was lacking.  It took forever to get a bus to different destinations and back.  We decided after our second day there, we would just drive.  We saved tons of time driving to all the parks, but Magic Kingdom.  We took the water taxi there on our first day.  The kids love the water taxi and monorail.

Little Man and I enjoyed one afternoon at the pool.  He is too cool to partake in the poolside activities for kids.  However, he loved the water slide.

We also walked around the main campground loop on our last day.  Many people had brought bicycles and tons had golf carts.  So there is a lot of traffic of carts and bikes.  Walkers beware!

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at The Fort. It was enjoyable and we can say we have camped there!
