I'm in San Diego and I'm an annual pass holder. I go all the time and I'd say it all depends on whether or not you want to see the original concept for what became The Magic Kingdom or if you want to see a really awesome version of Hollywood Studios with cooler stuff. Disneyland is awesome. It's sweeter, more charming and easier to manage in a day than MK and has The Matterhorn-the first tubular steel roller coaster and the first Disney roller coaster. CaAdv has the exact same Sorin' (they lifted it and slapped down in Epcot), a cool roller coaster, a truncated Tower of Terror and the amazing

You guys are funny. Plus, I think there's going to be a lot to do over at FW and I'm planning to drag my friend over there to check it all out! We'll be at the All-Star Music resort for 6 nights and have a 5-day hopper pass. Since we've been to WDW 3 times already I think we need to check out the other resorts, the monorail system, where all the boats are and where they go.... plus, I think a lazy canoe ride would be fun. And, that means FW. The dates are Jan 7th-13th. Hope I get to meet some of you!

I'm not gonna leave. :)

Hey, all! Thanks for all the help. I have booked my trip and I'm really excited. However... I am sad to say that my friends who "really want to camp" have failed me. One panicked when she heard the price (and it was CHEAP!). The other decided that since it "might get cold" we should just get a hotel. I am hell-bent on camping at Fort Wilderness and I know I will find a time to do it. Just not this January. Thank you all for your input. I have all your wonderful references saved and I'll be using them in the future!

This will be our 3rd trip for the January 1/2 Marathon. The first year we froze our fannies off. The second year it was perfect weather. I was told the really cold years are rare but to prepare for them. An electric blanket is an excellent idea. Also, if we come back from the parks late it's because we're ready to hit the sack. We tend to be respectful since we've been on the other side of the "I'm trying to sleep" scenario. The evenings where we'd stay at the site and chill would most likely be kept to one or two. We don't like to offend people.

FunFinder265: I used Pop Century the last few times I did the Marathon Weekend and it was kinda quiet but I guess it's worth a try. Although, I'm not mad if it's packed & busy. :) mouseketab (Carol): I'm not sure my friends will go for the pop-up. I'll ask them once I have some numbers, though. I adore the Magical Express and to know they will actually take our stuff to the campsite is even more exciting. We've used it before but we pack light so we've always had carry-ons only. And, we like using SouthWest because we can check 2 bags up to 50 lbs each without any extra charges. And, we're

Great ideas, guys! Yvonne, thanks for the threads. I'll look them over in the morning. Judy, no worries. It's mostly boisterous and a language problem... :) but we can behave ourselves. (I'll make sure to ask for an empty loop, too). Kelly, we have been wondering about groceries. I have the 3 Publix markets in my phone book. LOL. I'll look at wegoshop.com, too.

Hi, all! I'm Jeremiah and I'm new to Fort Fiends. I was referred here by Rod Wheaton of WDW Mousenger. And, I have questions! :) I've searched through the boards but I can't find the information I'm looking for on camping at FW with tents, no vehicles involved. Here's why I'm asking: My friends and I are planning on attending the WDW Marathon weekend in January 2015 but we want to do it on a budget. So, we have decided to go camping and take all of our equipment with us. We live in San Diego, CA and will be flying to Orlando. We plan to pack our tents, sleeping bags and other odds &am
