I travel to WDW solo several times each year and am considering purchasing a tent for Ft Wilderness stays. We've "camped" there many times in our trailer but never in a tent. (I have quite a bit of tent experience, just not at WDW.). DH has had three hip replacements and really can't tent camp these days so I'd only need space for myself. (When he goes will go with the 5th wheel which I'm just not up to pulling. Just the thought of towing that behemoth gives me palpitations!) We already have most of the other gear I'd need including heavy duty stakes, lights, air mattress, fans, etc.
Looking for:
Easy setup for a short girl
Good ventilation
Solid construction
Easy fly that I can roll back for ventilation (finding this has been a problem)
<$500
Not important
4 season capability
Height-not backpacker teensy, anything over 5' will be fine
Storage-it's just me, no plans to cook and I have an SUV for hanging clothes and food.
So far I'm looking at these two:
https://www.bigagnes.com/Big-House-4-Deluxe
https://www.rei.com/product/894015/rei-co-op-kingdom-4-tent
I'd mainly use this for spring, winter and fall (maybe-leery of fall weather) trips. I rarely go to WDW in the summer.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
