We just completed our 2nd trip to Disney's Fort Wilderness campground, and we're still just as impressed as we were the first time. Once again, bath houses were spotless, grounds were well kept, and ...

You are a lifelong Floridian and have only been to the Fort twice?!? :)
We love Fort Wilderness. We usually go twice a year. Haven't been to the parks since 2011. We don't really care about the parks; we enjoy the campground too much.
Now that all full hook-up sites have Cable, the difference between the 3 full hookup site designations is not really worth the price in our opinion. It is nice to have less sand on the Premium sites, but not that big of a deal.
We've never had an issue with Horseflies or yellow flies. April and October/November are our favorite times to go. We did get over run by weird looking caterpillars in 2005. Asked about them at the Outpost registration and they sent someone out to look at them. It was only our site that had them. Disney deemed they were harmless, but told use they would remove the nests if we wanted them too. Our 2.5 year old son enjoyed playing with them, so we didn't bother.
As mentioned, the boat to Contemporary or Magic Kingdom gets you on the Monorail quickly. You can also walk or bike to Wilderness Lodge quicker than taking the boat if you want to check out the Lodge. Whispering Canyon Cafe is fun to experience. If you have young children (older kids might enjoy it too), the Lodge has hidden Mickey hunts. There are hidden Mickeys at both the main Lodge and the DVC Villas.
We always enjoy taking the boats throughout Disney to explore the different resorts connected by boat.
