Winter Settlers at Fort Wilderness

Ignoring the approximate 4,000 cost and what else you could do for that same amount of money, I think you may have trouble getting a spot for that long. I just input 1/2/14-2/1/14 and no campsites were available! You have to call to reserve a site for longer than 30 days. It can't be done online. Personally, I would probably need a rubber room if I stayed at the mouse house for that long!! :B

You should check out this site if you haven't yet http://www.fortfiends.net/forum/ . The people on there should be able to answer all your question.

We loved our stay at Ft. Wilderness and if you're planning to visit the theme parks staying at Ft. Wilderness is a convenient way of doing it with the benefits of staying at a Disney resort. But I have to think that in a week you could do all you wanted to do at the parks and then find a much less expensive place to stay to enjoy the other attractions in the Orlando area...

But to each his own.

It is great to visit the park but that long a stay is expensive but people do it I am told.

Ken,

There are people who stay at Fort Wilderness that long. People on the disboards talk about several people who spend quite a bit of time camping at Disney. I think this amount of time would give you a chance to really explore Disney World. I would make a reservation as soon as possible.

Have fun.

There are year rounders at FW. Just another nice place when $$$$ are of little concern.

Love this comment, not made by me. More than 3 days would likely get me a mouse house pass!

Hilda at the end of the 700 loop has been there continuously since 2008, I believe.

I am pretty sure that there are people who decorate their sites for Halloween, then Thanksgiving, then Christmas without leaving. I always wondered if they had some kind of time share deal or something.

Winter Settler's Rate went away 4 or 5 years ago. There are groups who get a small discount, but nothing like it used to be. It's a lot of money but if you can do it it's worth it!!!!
