My family has stayed at Ft. Wilderness many times. We turned down going there this past trip because of money. When we stay at the Ft. we enjoy the people we meet while there. The people that live the RV life in Disney know how others want to be treated. I would venture to say that all RV’ers that I have met at other rv parks other than Disney’s are very friendly.
The only thing that I don’t like, which may have changed by now, is that there is no internet access, and noone to clean up your place like the other Disney hotels, and resorts. I am an internet junkie, and I need my fix no matter where I am, and that is why I also have a Blackberry.
Ft. Wilderness has changed quite a bit since I started going there as a child. They never had cabins like they do today. River Country was the water park of choice back then. The Meadows Pool was recently renovated, and that was a good thing, as there was no decent pool for the campers.
One of the last times we went to Ft. Wilderness we rented an RV from a local outfit near Disney. The price was a bit hefty, but we enjoyed it. Staying in my parents RV is a bit tight with all of us when we all went.
All in all I enjoy staying in Ft. Wilderness. Price means everything, and I would rather not spend extra gas to cart my camper down to Florida. What extra money I would spend doing that I can just get an All Star room, and be happy.

An Rv is a great way to travel around–lots of the conveniences of home; however, gas prices have made it less affordable travel.
