living in Florida for 13 years now and spending many months at Fort Wilderness I can sadly say its not the same old Fort wilderness of even a few yeas ago. The current management have raised the rates to a point where you come for your vacation, the mouse sucks every penny they can during that 1-2 week period and they really don't want you to come back until you saved up again. Current preferred rate is in the 130.00/night range, 4 years ago it was in the low 80's
It is unbelievable how expensive the Fort has gotten in the last 10 years. The first time we camped at Fort Wilderness was November 2005 (when we lived in NJ). We had a premium site in the 1400 loop and paid $38/night with AAA discount. Now that same premium site in November is $94/night. From what I hear, Disney does not accept AAA anymore.
started to Pic o the long term campers, to my knowledge out of the 15+/- of the long term campers only 1 remains, she has been there for 6years now and I think she is just trying to wear them down.
I assume you are talking about Hilda. I hope she does wear them down. It's her money, she can spend it anyway she wants. They better stop saying "Welcome Home" if they aren't going to let long termers call it that.
