Fort Wilderness and Disney 2009!!

June 2, 2009

Well, we made the biggest trip with the RV yet, DISNEY!! The weather was hit and miss on the drive down to Florida. We camped in a Wal-Mart parking lot Saturday night, big mistake, very loud and felt creepy, not much light or security at this one, won’t do that again. We arrived at Fort Wilderness campground around 2pm Sunday. To say the least we were disappointed:( There were very little instruction on what when and where to go or how to get around the parks. The campground had way to many restrictions, took the fun out of camping. Can you believe they do not allow campfires at ANY site!! Not even a fire ring so you can’t break the rules.
We got all set up on our site which had lizards and armadillos running around everywhere which drove the dogs crazy! Not sure about my spelling, sorry. Sunday night the rain set in and never let up till Friday morning, long enough for us to break down camp and get out of there. The drive home was very stressful, high winds and pouring rains, I was white nuckling the steering wheel the entire day Friday. We called a KOA in South Carolina, Points South KOA. This little campground was so awesome! Cozy and nice, we left them with great feedback and let them know how much we enjoyed them, and wish we lived closer so we could visit them more often.
Our son is only 7 years old and had a blast the entire time, so that was a blessing, the weather did not bother him at all. Our next trip we hope, will be Trav-l-Park Va. Beach for Father’s day weekend. We are thinking about reserving a month during September out at Running Cedar, they have a relaxing atmosphere that we enjoy.
I think we have decided our next RV purchase will be a motorhome class C. Well, that is all for now, see ya’ll at the campground. The Calland Family!!
