Discamper 394 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Disney offers a tent rental program it?s around $36 a night. All you have to do is call 407.939.7807 give them your reservation number and a deposit. When you check-in you will get your site number on your site the tent is already setup. All you have to do add all the stuff you bring. At the end of your stay just pack up your stuff and leave Disney does the rest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Discamper 394 Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 For pop-up owner if you put some kind of reflective cover over the top of tent part of your pop-up it will help in the summer sun and heat. When I had a pop-up I used the emergency blanket from the mart stores. They were around $2 ea and the blk paper binders to clip the blanket to the tent. This made the pup-up about 10 degrees cooler during the day really big help for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Fort Wilderness is a COMPLETE Disney Resort!! You can use the transportation, you have a Room Key, and you are a Disney RESORT guest!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 If the stuff falling from the trees during your Fort stay bugs you, ask one of the site maintenance folks as they are coming around to blow off your driveway. They are more than happy to do that if you ask!! (However, they won't do it unless you ask!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We have the pop up gizmos on our hybrid and not only do they help with heat/cooling but also keeps canvas clean. Also if your pup or hybrid has privacy curtains on the beds, it helps to keep them closed during the day when running the A/C. Blonde Bunny 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

parrothead7368 aka Norm 101 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Also for pop ups/hybrids to help keep the bunk ends cool, make inserts for the windows out of Reflectix. You can find it at Lowe's or Home Depot.Best Regards,Norm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When we rented from http://makecampingeasy.com (Donnie aka stacktester) and four adults were stuck in the camper for 2 days because of the storms, the big slide made all the difference!

Otter Spotter aka Debbie 58 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 If you're going to be at the Fort for a week or more & didn't bring bikes with you (and you want to bike ride), don't rent bikes from the Fort. Go to Wal-Mart & buy a cheap one. When you're done with your trip - pay the bike forward to someone else. You'll end up saving $$ over the rental cost and you'll make another camper's day! :siren: GaDawgFan.....Kelly 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Otter Spotter aka Debbie 58 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 First night at the Fort don't cook!! Treat your family to a Giddy-Up & Go Finger-Lickin, Lip-Smakin', DELISH chicken dinner from Trails End! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Donnaldseven 2 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Since the Fort does not have a Fitness Center, you can use the one at the Wilderness Lodge, just show your Fort Key Card Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LOLI use the raid camp fogger (even at home 40 miles east of FW). Sometimes I have to use it more than once, but it works great along with wearing skeeter spray.

Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Things go better with Coke! Make sure you bring plenty of your favorite carbonated (or not) beverages with you - because they are NOT cheap on Disney World property ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
