Fort Wilderness Camp Sites
DW and I are trying to plan a trip to Disney over spring break next year. Realising that Fort Wilderness fills up fast we will take what we can get but just in case can someone explain the differences...

Keep in mind that Spring Break at Disney can last for a month or more, depending on when Easter falls. When we went this past spring, we went the week before Easter (departed the day before Easter). We had no trouble getting two sites next to each other with only 3 months notice. It was surprisingly quiet at Fort Wilderness. However, a few years ago we went for two nights the Monday and Tuesday after Easter. With 5 months notice, we had to call for about a week to get just those 2 nights.
We stayed in a Full Hookup loop this past spring, first time in a Full Hookup site (1600 loop). Now that Full Hookup sites also have cable, I don't really think there is enough of a difference between Full Hookup and Preferred sites to be worth the money. We bike everywhere at the Fort, even to Wilderness Lodge, so it doesn't really matter to us how far we are from anything.
Premium sites do have nicer picnic tables and grills. However, the quality of the site itself isn't going to be different from the others. We've stayed in Premium sites that weren't that great. While the site we were in at the 1600 loop was really nice.
