Heading to Disney here at the end of the month for Spring Break. First trip out for the season - staying at Ft Wilderness. Can't wait to spend a great vacation with the family - it will be "MAGICAL"

We will be headed down 4.26.13 for 10 days, our second trip in 3 years! We love it at the Fort! Have a safe trip.

I believe you CANNOT take any glass bottle in... Just be ready to have the bag searched as you enter...Standard procedure for any and all bags entering including hand and camera bags.

When we stayed a week in Disney World a few years ago, we didn't get the food plan for the 3 of us (DH, GD & me, but our DS & DIL did for their family. There were too many to choose from and we had no idea when and where we'd be each day and it was too hard to keep track.

We ate most of our meals at our All-Star Resort cafeteria, but enjoyed the flexibility of eating at outside the park when visiting Universal & other places outside of Disney. We even got my BIL (a Disney employee) to pick up breakfast tab at one of the Resorts. And of course, we prepaid for Cinderella's Castle Lunch when we made reservations.

Thanks,Mike

Yes Disney does allow coolers that comply with the size guidelines (they just dont publicize it as it means a loss of revenue lol). If we are all going on a ride the cooler is simply left in the baby stroller area. We have yet to have any issues and not a single item has ever been disturbed.

My favorite campground hands down! Been there 4 times and loved it every time. Get the meal plan and enjoy yourself.

Do you take lunch inside the park or drinks?
Thanks,Mike

The cooler is for drinks and snacks and makes our trips far more enjoyable and saves me a ton of money.

My wife and I are planning a 2014 trip to Disney. Definitely going with the food package. We're going to pull our 5er down from Maryland.

We spend 12 days at Fort Wilderness in July, 2012.. LOVED it..

We bought the dining package and were able to go without a cooler in the park. FWIW.. anyway you can do Ft Wilderness is pretty awesome.

We did lose our awning to a pop up storm at the Ft. I highly suggest you put your awning up completely every time you leave the site for an extended period, or at the very least put your awning to the lowest setting.. and use deflappers. 🙂

Good luck, Have a Magical trip

enjoy your trip but here is my money saving family tip...you will enjoy the parks far more if you plan ahead and take a properly sized wheeled cooler...24"L x 15"W x 18"H.
