We really enjoyed our stay at FW a few years ago. The kids loved the huge pools. I think we could have skipped Disney World, and they would have had fun in the campground.
Our family saved money by carrying snacks and refillable water bottles and by being very strategic about food. We ate breakfast in the motorhome and bought food at the cheaper places in the park. We thought the food was usually decent, though expensive. Sometimes, we made it back to the motorhome for dinner, meaning we only ate one meal in the park. We sometimes shared snacks and meals, just to stretch it out a little. The park apps often have menus for the various restaurants so you can easily find a place in your budget.
We gave our kids a budget for the week we were there of their "own" money for souvenirs and snacks. This way, when they begged for a $5 lollipop, we could tell them they could have it but out of their money. They very quickly quit asking for all the junk and saved their money for bigger things.
We used the park transportation, which was great; however, it often took us much longer than we expected to get from place to place, especially since you do a lot of walking just to get to the gate. We found that once we made it to a park, we really did all we wanted to do and didn't go back and forth to the campsite since it was too much trouble.
