Recently returned from a week long trip to DW and had a site at Fort Wilderness. Although we are blessed to be able to travel at all, I must vent.
Despite being assured by the DW Reservation Clerk that there was wifi on our site, there was not. If we wanted to access the web, we would have to lug our laptop to the closest wifi area which was the pool/store, then pay $9.99/24 hours. And that was not for a total of 24 hrs, but for each day you wanted to use it...It is the 21st century here DW, we want wifi. It's not like we were out in the middle of the woods of a State Park, but a few miles from a major metropolitan city, Orlando. Spend the money Disney, to keep your patrons happy!
Campground buses kept breaking down and left us stranded twice for a long periods of time. Now we realize buses break down, but they had sufficient "other" buses that continued to run throughout the DW Resort.
Finally, I think they need to stress the importance of NOT WALKING THROUGH OTHER CAMPSITES!! We had a man and his wife who continually trespassed through our site each morning and each evening. What is up with that??? :angry:
To top it off, a campground worker parked outside the bathhouse for an hour with the generator on his truck running. I assume he was working on something but quiet time was listed at 10 pm. This noise started at 11 pm and continued until well after midnight.
Other than that, our overall DW vacation was nice. But for the money spent, Ft. Wilderness could put forth more effort to make the stay more enjoyable.
