I was waiting for the bus yesterday and saw this sign talking about the FWRR. Since I am a HUGE fan of the railroad, I had to snap up a picture. I didn't see it when I was at the Fort in February. I thought it was super cool.

The last morning, we have breakfast trying to eat up what we have left. We jump on the bikes and do some looping around. We stop at Meadows this is my last chance to find something. I ended up getting some hair clips for my neighbor and the Haunted Mansion puzzle. We head back taking the long way not wanting to leave. We pack up and pull out at 11. We have to stop back at Walmart to take in the battery core. Wow they have some unhappy workers there. We made it back home with no problems! My husband thinks the converter is bad. We ended up having a Mobil Tech come over just to double chec

I hope sooner rather than later. Thanks for the update!

We arrived at the fort the Tuesday after Labor Day about 6:00. We were tired, hungry and excited. I had done online check in before we left and never received a text with site number. We find a green light that is open, and we are in. Site 1908 is home for the next 8 nights. We find the site and I'm not sure I like it. There is a bit of a drop off between the pad and the ground. It needs more fill. My husband just wants to get unloaded he says it's fine right next to comfort station. I go along with him but, still I don't like it. We set up and, head to Downtown Disney. It's been a while

Walt Disney World is opening bookings for 2025 out to October 27 tomorrow with the rest of the year to follow at a later date.

Subject to availability and currently no reservation needed but subject to change. Room/campsite only bookings are now cancel by 8 days before arrival for 2025 And Campsites now have a max of 8 people in 2025 :::edited to add::: May be through October 31. The information I was originally given appears to have been upda

Cabins, tiny homes, wilderness trailers, whatever you want to call them have been at the Fort for a long time... The DVC cabins that Disney is putting in are basically the same thing that is there now. I think this was a way for Disney to pay for replacements on someone else's nickel. Plus, they have an opportunity to market to a different demographic. On how successful they will be, is anyone's guess. The cabins will still be available to the cash paying public as well as now being inside the "DVC bubble". The inside layout has changed a bit, but the number of beds still turn out

When we were last there in October it was a wooden Fort Wilderness sign. It was actually pretty nice.

Enjoy! Thanks Loretta!

Based on other information I've seen from DVC owners, yes, there will be cash reservations available for the cabins. The challenge to us non-DVC owners is that it will cost more than it is now and our choices for availability during the holidays may be slim.

Here ya go folks!

AGM have a different charging curve than your traditional wet cell lead acid battery so depending upon the age of the converter and coach alternator these might still need upgrading. There is no way to get an idea without the model number of the converter and year/model of the coach.

Thanks to Loretta and her wonderful daughter for getting this for me! ♥️

Thanks to Shalynn (Loretta's daughter) for going over to the Fort and getting this for me! She is such a doll!

Today we are up bright and early. I decided I wanted Strawberry Shortcake for breakfast. I hop on my bike and head down while my husband has his breakfast. Wow lots of dog walkers out. There was a few Shortcakes in the cooler I pick one and check out with no wait. I make my way back finish getting ready. I eat my breakfast on the way to EPCOT. I finish just in time. Today is calling for some afternoon showers so I back umbrellas in the backpack. It took forever to get in and we arrive just as the regular guests can enter. It looks like the park is going to be busy today. We get all the rides d

Thanks so Fort Wilderness Glampers for these pictures. My normal sources did not come through this month.

I really wish I was still at the Fort, as there were actually still sites available. I absolutely hated to leave right before the festivities. However, I want to thank Xander Gonzalez, who is currently at the Fort for the holiday, for the information. Here is his post on Facebook on a different group showing below. I just bought the tire cover with the 50th logo for my jeep and the next business day, they change it all up. Grr.

Thanks Jen. There used to be so many post daily, I couldn’t read them all? Started wondering if people weren’t posting anymore. Even though I like FaceBook I rather have blog site any day. I am hoping like you more people come back. Not sure what happened, but when I click on browsing the forums, there are posts from way back, few years ago. Is this correct? Or is there something wrong in settings? Thank you again Jen

I actually agree with you about burnout. Between work, social media posts for the side hustle and just life, I am really longing to get back to a forum. Please know that I will be posting much more in the future here to drum up some of the lurkers and get more attention. I do post almost daily on our FB pages and we have quite a following. I sincerely hope they will come back here.

I've always used the hitch & unhitch area on the way in on the right, before the 4-way stop.

Well, the pictures look good but then so did everything on the menu at Howard Johnsons (for those old enough to remember them)

As promised, here is the golf cart parade from the 4th. Thank you to Mousesteps for the video.

I got this right off the presses today! Enjoy

Congrats and welcome back to the great outdoors 🤠

Congrats on the new camper! If you are a disney plus member, check out the September rates at the Fort, if you can go then. I'm snagging another cabin this year, the rates are pretty low during the promotion.

May 31st was the latest word,

It's been a minute. 🙂 Just a quick update to this story. Our beautiful girl, Addie, will be 6 years old in April! Time flies by so fast. Addie has been such a blessing to our lives, we love her very, very much. She is a joy to everyone who meets here, after they get over their initial fear. She looks very intimidating, running up to someone to say hello, but she is a sweetie, and that's all she is trying to do. She's such a good girl. I've had a fifth grandchild, my first girl, who is four years old now. She lives here on the same property with us and despite the enormous size diffe

I remember as a teenager camping at the Fort in the early 70’s. At night they turned the buffet stations into build your own personal pizza. It was so cool. You would go through and build your little pizza pay for it then find a seat and wait for it to cook. There was bear heads hanging on the wall and other decor around. That was over 50 years ago and those are the best memories. Along with the open trams that would go around the loops to drop you off at your site. We would ride them just to avoid the mosquitoes. Ahh the memories. Miss them.
