Yes, out of budget for this trip. Looked into renting a trailer as well. I'm treating this as a trial run for later in the year when we will be tent camping for longer, so I don't mind dragging stuff down to see what works well.
The man who is now my husband and I met at Disney World for the time as he was in the Air Force in Hawaii and I was living in Pennsylvania. He and I each packed a 3-man dome tent (in case it didn't work out), his sleeping bag (me none), no sleeping pad, no flashlight, no pillows, no camp stove, no coffee pot, no cups, no plates, no utensils, but I did bring a small radio, and 5 pieces of luggage which enough clothes to last 2 weeks. We each brought the other an Easter basket as it was spring break. We were so excited to meet each other after talking on the phone and IM-ing for 6 months, we weren't thinking clearly about packing for the camping trip. We left the baskets outside the tent in the shade and woke up one morning and the only item half eaten was the chocolate covered cherries. We figured out it was an armadillo which came to our site every day. Surprisingly it didn't eat the peeps. Our limited supplies didn't matter to us but my husband did laugh about all my clothing. We used the second tent for a closet. I met him at the Orlando airport and he was wearing jeans, cowboy boots and hat. Should I mention he forgot to bring other shoes and his feet became blistered in about a day. Talk about camping light. We were freezing out butts off as the first night's temperature dropped into the mid-50s and we covered up with the swimming towels I packed. He so cold the next morning that when I went to the comfort station he sat on top of the tale shivering and the camper across the loop road brought him a cup of coffee. I contacted someone at the Fort Wilderness check in building and asked if they could provide us with a sheet, blanket and pillows - which they did. We had a spectacular time together and three weeks later he flew one day to Pennsylvania to pick me up and we drove to Tulsa, Oklahoma where he was now working. It was love and four years later we wed at the Orlando court house and honeymooned at Disney World - in a tent of course but this trip we packed more useable items. Disney World and especially the Fort are our favorite places in the whole world. We're celebrating our 16th wedding anniversary with a trip to Disney World May 7-13 and tent camping at the fort. Since we're flying in we will be limited in what we can pack in two checked bags but we will pack better this time. Still LMAO.
