Disney

I'm planning a trip to Disney for February vacation and am wondering if anyone has suggestions on where to stay? I have made reservations for the Port Orleans French Quarter but am thinking of upgrading to the Fort Wilderness if the AP rates come out and are cheap enough. Has anyone stayed at either? I thought of posting this in the travel section but there's not much activity there and this is such a family oriented resort I figured I'd start here.

Thanks!

We stayed at Fort Wilderness in a trailer years ago. The trailer gave us enough space, but also gave us a real kitchen which enabled us to keep food costs down.

Buy The Unofficial Guide to Disney World. Their information and plans will save you lots of time and better help you manage the part. They test all of their ideas and update the information constantly.

If you want to go on the cheap, consider going on one of those timeshare packages.....but you got to get through the sales pitch. I couldn't do it, but my brother and his wife did. Along with the cheap rooms, got 3 day passes too.

Thanks for the info. I'm not necessarily looking for the cheapest way, since I have the money tucked aside already. I was just wondering if anyone had experience with the Wilderness Lodge itself and could compare upgrading from a moderate to a luxury Disney hotel.


I'm sure the camp site is beautiful!! I know a few people who camp there and just love it........that being said, I'm so not a camper it's not even funny. When I go on vacation I don't just not want a kitchen... I don't even want to be reminded of a kitchen. I want someone else to do laundry/dishes/cooking at all times. I figure it's only a few weeks out of every year and I want to totally relax....as much as someone with two kids is able to that is. I'm sure as the kiddos get older and my needs/ wants change, so will my idea of a perfect vacation but for now, it's to not do dishes/cooking/laundry, to be 100% entertained and have the kids entertained as well. Laughing and smiling often is definitely a must as well which is why I love Disney!!!

Thanks again!

The Dis is the perfect place for you to ask your question-just go to the resorts forum! The Dis is a place for Disney lovers of all ages-they have trip reports, restuarant reports, resort reports, and a whole lot more

Here is the Dis' description of the Wilderness Lodge, and you can also take a tour. Here is a room description.
