Looking For Stomething Different? Try Disney World

October 21st, 2009 Posted in Camping

Did you know that Disney World offers fully functional campgrounds for you, your children,  and even the family dog? If you want to go camping, the Fort Wilderness Resort at Disney World in Florida might be the perfect vacation spot for you.  All campsites include electricity and water, and for an extra fee you can even get high-speed Internet access.

Despite these detractions from the pure camping experience, Disney Fort Wilderness Resort is well worth the money they charge for you to camp there. Unlike traditional campsites, Disney also offers cable television, air conditioning, and even high speed Internet. The campsite is set upon some truly beautiful land: a forest full of pine trees, water canals, and hiking trails that look like the real thing. There are even deer, rabbits, and ducks wandering around the campgrounds.

There are hook-ups for tents and RV’s, and log-cabin style buildings dot the premises.  Camping at Disney World has several advantages. First of all, it is completely safe. You won’t encounter bears or other wild animals in the middle of the night, nor will you run into strangers living in the woods for nefarious purposes. So the kids will get the camping experience they desire while you have peace of mind. It also has modern conveniences, so you will not have to find places to use the bathroom or use tree leaves as toilet paper.

Camping at Disney is also safer than camping at a traditional campsite. There are no dangerous wild animals at Fort Wilderness Resort; you will never have to start a fire to scare away wolves, bears, or other predators. The only other people you will encounter are other paying guests, and Disney staff is located on the campgrounds in case of emergency.

If you get tired of camping, Disney offers complimentary transportation for resort guests to  each of its theme parks. There are six parks accessible by bus: the Animal Kingdom, Epcot  Center, Hollywood Studios, Downtown Disney, and the Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach Water  Parks.

As a Disney World Resort guest, you are also entitled to complimentary transportation to and from all Disney Theme Park locations. In addition to the Magic Kingdom and Epcot Center, you and your children could visit the Animal Kingdom or any of the Disney World Water Parks.

The campsite is located close to Disney World itself, and Disney offers complimentary transportation between the campsite and all areas of the Disney World Theme Park, including the Magic Kingdom, Epcot Center, Animal Kingdom, and Water Parks.

Disney Fort Wilderness charges a nominal fee for pet privileges as well as for high-speed  Internet access. With so much to do, however, you probably won’t have time for the Internet.  Camping at Disney is truly an opportunity for the whole family to get away from their  regular routines and just relax.  There are private bathroom and shower facilities on site, as well as laundry facilities. Some campsites are being renovated this year; check with Disney for availability.

Camping in Florida can be a quite varied experience.  You might want to extend your vacation in order to really get into the wild or even spend some time at a beautiful beach.
