$1980 is the quoted price off of Fort Wilderness website. That is the full-hook up site & 5 day ticket for all 4 of us. I did not choose any dining plan or other options (please note that I have NOT made the reservations).

6- fortfiends will answer all your questions.., we have been going for 2 weeks a year for the past 25 years... We love it

FW is one of the finest campgrounds we have ever stayed at. The restrooms are top notch and there are plenty of fun things to do within FW. The free buses will take you anywhere within FW as it is huge. The north end of the park will get you a free boat shuttle to the Disneyland part of the resort. The southern end of the park are free buses to take you to the other parks. You can park your rig and not have to move it until you leave. Disney did this resort in a first class fashion.

2. Is there transportation to and from Disney World without having to drive?
Yes Bus to sites and boat to Epcot

Not sure about boat to Epcot but definitely to Magic Kingdom.

Also, no direct bus from Magic Kingdom to FW but you can take a bus to Wilderness Lodge(or any other ?) and then take a bus to FW.

Wow. My family still talks about our first trip to the Fort back in January, 2006. Wonderful, lifetime memories.

Fast Passes are a great idea to do now. If you can swing it, call right now and make reservations for Hoop-De-Doo Revue one night. Its expensive but in our opinion, well worth it (especially for a first timer).

Save every nickel and dime you can between now and then for the trip. Its Disneyworld. It's expensive but since most of us do it only every-so-often, go ahead and do it right and not try to skimp out cheap. You won't regret it.

By the way, we like to reserve an overnight somewhere in south Ga. so we can head down the day before our arrival. Then the day we're supposed to be there, we can arrive by noon or so fresh and ready to go. If you can add a day to your campground stay, you could spend that first afternoon at the Fort and Downtown Disney.

Check out Crooked River. Wonderful park!

Leave your car at home and have a good time. Camp ground is great. You can rent a golf cart to commute within FW. Consider having breakfast at the campsite then go to the parks. Come back early afternoon to have lunch and a rest. Go back later in the day and then perhaps have dinner at one of the theme restaurants or wait till later and have dinner back at the campground. Food and drinks in the park have always been pricey. You can take water and snacks into the park, but I'd not try to take a picnic lunch.

Another thing to consider is not to get park passes for each day and visit one of the other parks in the area such as Universal. You can Arrange for a cab at the transportation center.

WDW also has a full service kennel so you have options for dog care while you're in the park or go offsite.

We were in the 400 loop. We could walk to the landing to get the boat to the Magic Kingdom.The Hoop de Doo Revue and store is there also. They have buses to Animal Kingdom and the water park. The 400 loop is within walking distance of the pool,the dog park and Chip and Dale show.I would agree on the Hoop de Doo Revue.Great show and decent food.
