Roughing It at Walt Disney World


Well, sorta.

I'm talking about WDW's Fort Wilderness which is not exactly 'roughing it' (unless you pitch a tent in the Creekside Meadow area).

Fort Wilderness is a glorified RV park that also offers cabins for rent and the afore-mentioned tent-pitching place.

Disney is now making improvements such as larger camper/RV pads to accommodate the larger vehicles. You know the ones - those rolling homes on wheels, some over 40' long, and many with the slide-out extensions.

Premium Campsites will include: the much larger paved pads, upgraded grills and picnic tables. And will cost more, too. These sites will cost $66-$116 per night, depending on season (peak, value, holiday) and day of the week.

I joke that 'roughing it' to me is a 3-star hotel. I may have to upgrade that assessment.
