Thanks everyone! Maybe I posted the wrong picture but that is what our camper looks like although it sleeps 6 not 4. So we would have one extra (the baby) basically. We plan to be camping almost all summer before our trip, in fact we're heading to lake of the ozark this weekend! Yay! I can definitely deal with the weather changes. It was sort of like that when we went in November although maybe not so drastic just chilly mornings and evenings. The kids we're sticking in the tent are boy scouts so they have all they need to camp outdoors we will make sure to be prepared though! Any other advice about must do's on the campgrounds themselves?

Separate question: We are discussing doing Cinderella's Royal Table for just me and my husband since it will be my 30th birthday when we go. I know I need to try for ADR at 180 days but is this restaurant worth it? I love the princesses (Ariel especially) even though I'm 29 LOL

OK, so a party of 9, with four kids with an age range of 1-13.

You're going in February- the pools will be open, but probably won't be a huge priority, right?

Will you have more than the tow vehicle and the camper to park on the site, or are other party members arriving by other means?

Are you planning for 9 people to sleep in that 23' trailer?  Or are you going to have a tent or another site, or what?  9 in a 23' trailer sounds very cozy.

Although you could fit on a full or preferred site, you will probably want the room provided by a premium site, and you are also going to want to be on a loop that has a comfort station.  So, I would rule out 600 and 700.

Are you going to have any pets along on this trip?

I'm trying to decipher what this means.

Do you have a hard sided travel trailer?

TCD

I saw somewhere you can have a tent with your camper. We were thinking the older kids in there...still cozy in the camper don't get me wrong but we figured we will really only be sleeping in there. Not like we'd be hanging out all day shoved in there together. We would have 2 cars. The SUV that will tow and then another car. Pools are not a huge priority no, i doubt it would be warm enough for the baby especially. We are not planning to bring the dog as it seems like a hassle worrying about providing care for him once we get there.

I have no idea what it means LOL

it is 2017 forest river cherokee wolf pup 18TO limited is exactly what it says online I'm trying to add a picture but it keeps saying I can only have 501KB but I see below it says .49MB I dunno.

Also, if it's a cool clear night, you will hear the fireworks pretty much throughout the campground.

Same with the Electrical Water Parade and the boat horns.

You can even hear fireworks from the other parks.

It will be a little louder closer to the Settlement area.  Another thing to consider if they are light sleepers is the bus noises.

All of this will depend on what type of camper you have.  Noises are a lot louder in a tent/popup then an RV or TT.

Have fun planning.

I'm not super worried about normal noises, he's a heavy sleeper. I'm not gonna lie this is my first camper...so I don't know much about it. That's more my husband's thing. I'm the Disney planner! LOL it is not a tent or popup it says 18TO?

Total number of people will be 5 adults, 1, 3, 10, and 13 year olds. Our camper is 23'. We are planning right now to try to be there for Saturday check in and have Sunday to explore Fort Wilderness then all 4 parks Monday-Friday and then leaving that next Saturday.

Yes, February, I'm a planner! LOL We've visited DisneyWorld theme parks many times but this year we are planning to stay at Fort Wilderness in our camper. I also will have my 1 year old son who hasn't been. I'm just wondering what are some must do's for staying on property for the first time and specifically at Fort Wilderness? We are also looking to stay on one of the premium sites can someone tell me if this is necessary and maybe make a recommendation on what loop? I am excited about the boat ride to Magic Kingdom and to see fireworks and the electrical parade but I'm worried too close may be too loud for my one year old? One last thing...last time we went in the first week of November and experienced very little wait time and not much crowds. It looks like from what I'm reading the last week of February should be the same level of crowds? Has anyone been around that time who can give me a better idea? I would love to not wait in super long lines with a one year old and my nephew will be 3.

Thanks so much!
