Over the past many years we have stayed in quite a few of the Disney World resorts. As a child I spent a great many years in a lot of them also. We mainly stayed at the Grand Floridian for most of what I remember. Having the “Gold Key” was a great thing. Everything was included as far as I remember.
When I took my wife to Disney for her first time we went with my parents. We stayed in a tent in Fort Wilderness because we didn’t have much money. We quickly got out of there because a major storm rolled through, and our tent became an instant swimming pool ruining all of our stuff for the most part.
After that we stayed at the All Star Movies, Music, and Sports whenever we went down to Florida. A few years ago before we bought our timeshare we drove down to Disney, and rented an RV to be taken to Fort Wilderness. We found this to be great. Now with the Disney Vacation Club ownership we have lost touch with where we started.
We haven’t stayed at the Contemporary, Beach Club, or Port Orleans. I don’t remember ever staying in these as a child, but I may be wrong.
We were discussing the other day either taking our camper down to Disney, or possibly even renting a cabing in Fort Wilderness. We have never been in them, or even seen them, but I have heard that they are very nice. They may not have all the ammenities of a hotel room, or resort, but they are affordable. I have no idea if there is enough sleeping space, log beds, air conditioning, or what.
Has anyone ever stayed in one? What are they like?
