I just returned from a Sept. trip to Fort Wilderness (Sept. 24-30) and thought I would add my thoughts to the Sept. thread. This was my first trip to Fort Wilderness and I was so impressed with the Fort. DH and I have been to Disneyworld many times but this was the first trip camping at Fort Wilderness. This was on my bucket list and I have to say I loved it so much, it will be hard to stay anywhere else. We camped in the 2100 loop in a travel trailer and I loved the location. It was a small loop and was convenient to the comfort station and the bus stop. I thought the internal bus system was great! Didn't rent a golf cart and really didn't need one. Buses came frequently and after I figured out if I needed a yellow bus, a purple bus, or an orange bus ( a little frustrating at first), I was able to get around the fort easily. The mosquitos were the only negative thing I experienced at the Fort. They seemed to be particularly blood-thirsty. I left with about 15 bites. I found the parks to be hot and crowded. I have been to Disney in July and I thought this was comparable to July. I also thought the bus service from the parks to Fort Wilderness was hit and miss. Sometimes they came promptly and sometimes I had to wait a long time for a bus while other resorts would have 3 buses show up while I waited for one. I rarely post on these board, but I am a regular reader. I want to thank all of you who post regularly because you were a great help in planning this trip. I am presently planning a trip to Gulf Shores so I am reading that thread on the community board and I am finding valuable information there from the regular posters. Many thanks to everyone on the boards who helped make my trip the greatest one ever!
Glad you had a good trip. Being in 2100 you were right behind us for our trip. And yes the mosquito's were horrible.
