Fort Wilderness USA

PLEASE DON’T WAKE ME BECAUSE SURELY I’M DREAMING! We landed at Fort Wilderness, Disney World in Orlando, Florida, earlier than we had planned. But with a not-so-pleasant experience at a previous resort, a quick call to the Mouse and an open campsite sent us cruising into Lake Buena Vista and another Top 10 RV Resort…Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground.

My expectations were high based on prior Disney experiences, but having never stayed here before, I held my breath and crossed my fingers. With a little pixie dust sprinkled in, I found this resort did not disappoint. We settled in near the Waggon Tails dawg park for a few weeks of sunshine and look forward to new adventures.

We’ve met some great people here, including Toni, our neighbor. This past weekend was Disney Marathon weekend and people come here by the thousands to run. Toni’s great accomplishment? As a former runner, I bow down to anyone who can run a 5k on Thursday, a 10k on Friday, a half-marathon on Saturday, and a full marathon (26 miles) on Sunday. She also completed two other challenges to score additional medals…and she’s STILL smiling. My goal during the rest of our stay is to be like Toni.
