Is there a size limit? I'm guessing they say nonrolling to limit the size to something that can be carried. We have several of those little soft sided coolers that could hold say a six pack or a little more. Pretty much the perfect thing for a day trip. Are there plenty of picnic places within the theme parks? I'm guessing we would normally cook or pack most of our meals during our stay but but for sure go out to eat some too.

Great app...I'm glad I'm new and did not have to wait. Seems like this will be super helpful when the time comes.

Since my wife is a School nurse the only time we could really do this trip and have the 11 or 12 days in order to go would be June/July and the beginning of Aug. I would think we would have better luck late July early August as many people seem to plan their summer vacations in June. This has also been my experience with RV resorts and state parks where June and July are hard to get spots.

Not to highjack but what food/beverage items can you bring inside the park? We just went to Sea World San Antonio and they would let you bring in beverages that were not sealed...so like containers of water/juice or whatever and as far as food you could only bring in snack/single service type stuff. I found it odd...but at the same time I figured it's was to get people to buy food and drink from them. With two little girls we always bring stuff like water, snacks, and sun sceen. We do roll with one stroller which is nice because there is enough room to put a little cooler or whatever under

Your system makes sense to me Lou! I just have to figure out what TTC means

DO you guys follow the Undercover tourist crowd calendar in order to go to the parks with the least traffic each day? Do you find it accurate?

What's the extra magic hours? Is that just an option to go in earlier than normal or stay later? Kind of a beat the crowds option?

OK...yesterday with your help I was able to kind of come up with a plan to tackle this crazy long drive we will have to take in order to get to FW. I've noticed that when you go on the Disney site to book a campsite at FW they will offer up packages that don't seem to be customization. They offer a ticket to the a park for each night you are staying plus one. To me that's more than I think I would need. Here is my idea...come in on Sunday and leave on that Friday...so five nights. The way I see it the day you get in I'd just want to stay around FW...then of course that Friday we would prob

The most expensive place I've ever camped was an RV resort that was $56/night. It was actually really nice...down on the Texas coast...Port Aransas at a place called Gulf Waters RV Resort. It has it's own private beach access. But yeah FW is around $90/night...way more than I would ever spend anywhere else but it's the kind of thing that in my eyes right now this is a one time deal. Yes I know everyone here is hooked lol....who knows maybe I will get that bug. One thing that I noticed it looked like the Comfort Stations had ice machines...is that right...free ice? Or should I say as part

Part of the reason to wait is that I would like our 3 year old to be just a bit older so she is easier to deal with and I think she would have more fun if she was older. The only concern is that also puts our 5 year old at 6 and I wonder if the princess phase will be "little kid stuff" by then. Obviously they is lots to do there and the princess stuff is but one little part but I think right now for my girls it would be the greatest.

The character meal sounds like something we certainly need to do. I guess I'll need to read up more on that. We have the princess attire covered!

I'll for sure check it out. Last night I downloaded a few apps including the Fiends app that has pics and descriptions of each site! The app is so simple yet very informative. I think just based on looking at the map that we would want to stay close to the swimming areas and playgrounds.

Great info. Thanks. I'm at the point now where I almost want to say forget next summer....let's go this summer! Not sure I could pull that off though.

We have our RV cooking down. Most trips we cook all our own meals....we sometimes will go out to eat one day of a trip while making a run to get fuel and other supplies we may need.

I think after the trip it will be down hill from there. But yeah I've looked at the Disney Packages and ended up with more questions than answers. I'll keep researching and as questions come up I'll post. I'm a fairly frugal guy so I'm sure with yall's help I'll be able to get the best bang for my buck for what we actually want to do vs going crazy and paying for stuff we don't really need.

That's actually not a bad plan either...a bit longer the first day/evening...but that third day would be just over 200 miles and very easy.

Well I want to thank everyone and this site for turning my afternoon nonproductive as far as work goes but very productive as far as planning goes. Here is what I'm thinking now so far with the suggestions. First day I leave the day before I had planned at 3 pm on the thursday and drive the 313 miles it takes to get to Lake Charles LA. Google says that's about a 5 hour drive. I figure with one stop....it would be about a 6 hour trip assuming no terrible traffic. From there that's 832 miles to FW. If I then break that up into two days I could make a stop somewhere around Crestview FL on da

That rig does rock Specularious! Those seats are really cool...is that gator?

Some additional background....My wife is a school RN so she gets summers off and this is why we would plan on going during the summer and this summer we already have several trips planned already. I really like that idea of leaving later in the day! I could get everything hitched up say the Thursday morning and then go to work...my wife could then do whatever packing needs to be done and then during the afternoon I could come home and we could then hit the road around 3pm and drive till about 9pm. I'm thinking one stop around the 175 to 200 mile mark and then drive more..I bet we could mak

I think that's a great idea for a lot of people...but we love OUR trailer and in my eyes I'd be cheating on the Eagle, lol. This is not something I'm going to consider but it would be a great idea for a family that is thinking about getting into RVing.

Yeah we have the TV/DVD combo set up thanks to my father in law. It does come in handy. That and naps I can get them 300 miles without much issue....but 400 or 500??? Then add back to back days of that. I guess it's to be seen. But heck I'm more worried about driving that long. The Duramax I have I bought used just recently...I tows like a champ but the weakness I've discovered is it's tiny 26 gal tank...and honestly I get to like 19 and the fuel light comes on...for that reason I'm considering a 39 gal replacement tank....if I make this trip I'm almost certain I'll want get that in order

Wow...I can't believe the replies already...thanks. DaveinTN....There is not question we want to go! It's just a bear of a drive and I'd be the one doing the driving...I need to get the wife to learn I guess. For those that say stay longer yeah I'd like to. I'm self employed and a financial planner running my own practice...solo. So when a client calls I have to respond. With smart phones and wifi conections I can get away with being out of the office say 7 days as my plan of an 11 day trip permits but I'm stretching it beyond that. My hope would be two get to the Fort either late Saturd

Well as you can probably see I'm brand new to this site. I've never been to Disney or Fort Wilderness. Honestly I've never had the desire. However I have two little girls ages 5 and 3. They are into princesses and all princess stuff. Every day when I get home from work they are wearing little princess dresses. The wife has talked about going for a while. Well we started RVing over a year ago...bought a used travel trailor and have really fell in love with RVing and recently bought a new one...we go all over here in Texas and probably go on one to two short trips per month.
