The Campsites at Fort Wilderness, and Hotel Hopping in Disney World.

[@mikedarden4357]

Wow. Love that Iliana spoke up. Put more of her on your videos. 👍🏾

[@itr0863]

I love ft wilderness. you can really stay there and not go to the parks and still have a great time. that guard is a smartass. "then you're not checked in". condescending attitude like how does that help the situation especially if you already checked in. we had a similar encounter at port orleans and my wife mentioned it to a cast member higher up just to let them know. we weren't even expecting anything, but they gave us free tickets to one of the after hours event....as much as people pay for a site at fort wilderness and at times difficult to book, I would report that guard just to let them know. he is the first person people encounter entering ft wilderness. that wouldn't be a great start to my day.

[@itr0863]

like it was such a burden to help a paying customer out.

[@lindathehermit8053]

I don't think you were too harsh at all. For the price, your campsite was far below par, with a dumpster that no doubt gives off "eau de garbage" perfuming your picnic table area, and having a front row view of all the traffic. And the guard wasn't the kind of person you expect to greet you at Disney. They charge a lot for everything there, and so you would expect the service and employees to be exceptional.

[@shirleycopeland3133]

I was thinking the same thing! Why put a dumpster right next to a site?

[@techs5384]

The only thing that guard is protecting you from is a good time.

[@lamarque1]

"eau de garbage" hahahaha!!!

[@TheMalamutePack]

I was there the same weekend and our experience was awesome, we got a different guard in the front very friendly, that give our dogs treats and was very knowledgeable. We love Fort Wilderness we have been back since then 3 times.

[@Justfixityourself]

Actually the day you were trying to check in, I was directly behind you at the gate. Like you, I had pre registered online, and also like you my bracelet would not open the gate. The grumpy fellow at the gate, treated me the same way as he had you and your wife. It also put a bad taste in my mouth making my first Disney encounter for this visit a negative one. It grinds me a little when their fees are so high, 205 on a couple of the nights with tax a night and the first guy to greet you is a grump. Do the math ...with 700 camp spots times 200 roughly, you would expect a little more pleasant “meet and greet”. We live near Ft Wilderness and have raised our children and grandchildren at the Ft. It is consistently expensive, but it is always clean, safe, and like an old friend, you pretty much know what to expect in the quality department. You have done a great job Robert covering the Mouse. Keep up the good work and hopefully we will cross paths soon on the RV trail. Be safe. Oh, by the way, Living in Florida mostly since 72, you really can’t avoid our pesky little critters (bugs). Oh by the way, nice camera work.Thanks. Dan

[@newhampshirejoe5975]

? did either of you bother to report this guard?

[@shelleystrand5532]

Coming from a travel agent in the pass. You have to report the grump, the garbage cans and the bug. . You have to let them know it's not ok. I don't care how much you pay. Rude is not acceptable. Other than that it was nice to see all of the properties. It has been a while since I was there last (1992). Love your coverage. Thank you so much. Shelley

[@ElenaChristinne]

I really hope it was reported. It's expensive as it is to have cast members ruin part of your experience. Loved the video ♥️ little bug at the Grand Floridian 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jonnieinbangkok]

You may be paying $ 200 a nite to stay in Disney's wilderness but grumpy is only getting 10 bucks an hour so don't expect all unicorns a d rainbows.

[@sweetpapillon7265]

@@jonnieinbangkok I clean toilets at a premiere botanical garden and estate. I always greet customers with a friendly smile and answer their questions with hospitality and graciousness. Without happy patrons, they spread the word, and places shut down. Means no job to be grumpy about. If he's unhappy, he needs to get out of the hospitality industry and go guard a warehouse. Hospitality, tourism, retail, food service, is all customer service based. You have to put your best foot forward and be accommodating to the client. That's all part of the job requirement.

[@scotehorne1013]

Gooooood morning! Thank you for the new video Robert. I like your honesty in your videos along with the obvious things like commentary, music, editing, etc. Have a great day, and remember, you and your family are always in our prayers. Fly pelican, fly! 🌴😎👍

[@Richard2003]

Been there a few times. At X-mas and New Years it is fantastic. Every site has decorations up. Same with Halloween. The fireworks show is superb. And every time we saw a few deer.

[@heyoka9012]

Nope, not too harsh at all! They have a standard to uphold: you can't appoint yourself the curator of happy childhood memories unless you are willing and able to rise to the standards which that role demands. Well done, Robert, and, as usual, thank you for a great little tour! 😎👍🏼

[@MegaMillionsMike]

Great video! Appreciate your honesty! Lots of people here, lots of vloggers, where I live in Orlando, all love to kiss the ring of the mighty Disney. Like they can do no wrong.

[@francisschultz2217]

Sounds like a very honest opinion. I stayed there for 2 weeks in 2016 with my 2 dogs, 2 kids and wife and had a great time. We enjoyed everything Fort Wilderness had to offer. I will definitely return someday without the kids and dogs to enjoy the resort when I retire. Thanks for your input. I enjoy your videos.

[@jonnieinbangkok]

I was waiting for you to say without the wife as well 😀😀😀

[@jennm1144]

We had a nice time at Fort Wilderness Campground however, experienced the same situation with a cranky guard. My kids and I enjoy watching all your videos so very much, thanks for sharing!

[@dank8017]

Did you complain about the guard? Did you ask for another site? Disney is pretty accommodating. If not its partly on you, you didn't give them a chance to fix the situation.

[@joe4lily]

Personally I don't think you were too hard with your review, Disney does need to be held to a higher standard. first because of their reputation, and second because they're usually higher priced than other establishments. Keep it comin Robert you're doing a great job. Hermano

[@DanielMC75]

Love your videos dear Robert, I hope to meet you one of these days ... you are an inspiration for all of us who want to start seeing and exploring the world as you do!

[@auroranite]

Such a nice tour. Thank you Robert. Its been years since we visited so this is a nostalgic trip👍

[@taigaforest..]

For folks that never learned to swim. Gives them a chance to enjoy too. Nice idea.

[@angelagill7735]

I live here very close to Disney and have on several occasions went hotel hopping. It is a great experience and I have stayed a few of the hotels plus the campgrounds. So much to do and see, I am glad to see it through your eyes as well, I smiled the entire time watching your video.

[@papertheweb]

We have spent many, many weeks at Fort Wilderness and always loved our our time there. From the time our kids were young all the way to taking our grandchildren before they were teenagers... they are in college now. I'm so sorry you had a bad experience. I agree I would not have loved paying $200 for the site you were given. I think if you had asked to be moved they would have done it. I always found the people working in the campground friendly. So my experience was not yours. The kids loved us renting a golf card and whipping around the grounds. When we first started going it was permitted to pool hop from one resort to the other. Now... that is not possible. We retired to Cape Canaveral two years ago and haven't been to the Disney Parks once. Just the thought of the crowds and having to worry about reserving time for rides takes away any desire to go. I like the idea of the Florida resident weekday pass but even that is very expensive. I enjoyed your hotel tour, thank you for doing it. We also have had a great time visiting the disney hotels, boardwalk and just enjoying walking around the grounds. We do enjoy returning to Fort Wilderness, visiting the trading post and reliving all those wonderful magical time with the kids and grandkids. When we did it it was nice to have our own "home" with us to come back to whenever we got park weary. Saved a bunch on meals! Thanks again Robert!

[@ricks.1318]

Yes... I agree Robert , ... Fort Wilderness is NOT the "same" Disney experience !!! When I was there, I thought at first it was just me, but other have told me of the same "less than DISNEY" experience as well ...... It's too bad ... (especially at $200 a night ...)

[@bertkelly7650]

Why experience anything when Robert can give us a video experience for free. Thanks Robert!

[@unclebob6728]

You were fair. Disney charges premium prices. You deserve a premium experience. Thanks for the tour, Robert!

[@elisscaliving5864]

Uncle Bob yup

[@dodgeguyz]

Yes. They are over hyped! I personally like the sites at Cedar Point much better! And sorry Disney. But on line check in means just that. You are checked in. Then you show up and drive to your site!

so sorry you had a bad experience, we love the campgrounds. nice little getaway from Daytona!

[@ScrappyStephy]

I really liked this video, having never been to Disney, so I loved the "Cliff Notes" version this video brings! I have watched just about all of your Florida videos and love them all...you could seriously have a show on TV doing the same thing...your videography is excellent, and I love that you keep your videos rated G, so they are family friendly. And no, you were not rude about the RV park attendent...I thought you were very gracious! Thanks Robert for continuing to make quality videos!

[@TerryB751]

Beautiful travelogue. I read that one of the things that Disney insisted on when they were building this place in swampland was mosquito control. The buildings are designed in such a way to eliminate standing water since mosquito larvae grow there. Also they use some kind of natural repellent with garlic to repel mosquitoes as well. I see that all those safeguards didn't keep Mr. Cockroach from checking into the Grand Floridian. He was probably OK if he had a reservation and Micky armband.

[@whereswehrs8716]

I'm so glad that you were able to get this video out today, thank you so much! Safe travels & take care

[@terryl6706]

Safe travels,we went to Fort Wilderness years ago and have zero interest in returning.We love the laid back life of the Keys,especially Key Largo.

[@davemetz7368]

Thank you so very much for the tour of Disney World Robert. I have never been there, but thanks to your most excellent videotography , you have just given me a taste of what I could expect, and at a very reasonably price ( free ) . Keep up the great work !!!!

[@Real_Sgt_Tom]

I remember camping here a few times in the mid 1980s as a kid with my family and it seems a whole different experience now. Sometimes growth isn't always a good thing. Still a great video as usual!

[@johnp139]

The site that you get at Fort Wilderness can be hit or miss, much like the specific room at one of their hotels. Of course, the “miss” spots shouldn’t be considered “Premium” and should cost less. I think they consider Premium to be more of location within the campground and the “amenities” not the features of the specific site. But your site costing $200 is outrageous.

[@johnp139]

Yeah, I’m looking at your site (1434) right now (I’m in early for a conference at Gaylord Palms), and it is probably one of the lamest in the loop as far as privacy is concerned. But as far as the trash/recycling bins being right there, they have one of those about every 5 sites, so not too many people dumping there. The loop that you were in is also close to both the boat launches an the pool/campfire area, probably making it a premium area. And you were there on a weekend, which probably bumped the price up even more. Not meaning to ridicule or anything, just pointing out some more information. WOW, it’s humid out here! Now to post a sign saying “Robert slept here” 😀

[@shirleycopeland3133]

@@johnp139 I think all sites with a dumpster should be half price

Nice tour and lovely voice overs! I got married on the Disney Boardwalk. Disney World holds a special place in my heart.

[@cheriwaller7598]

I agree with your assessment! We had family that lived near Disney World, so I've been there many times. You expect the service to be exceptional....that's just Disney. It's sad to hear that they aren't doing so well with their campground and their staff. You are probably right, they are going to probably drop it some day.

[@TagNameMaca]

Since the other resorts have a theme resembling another majestic place, Disney should have Fort Wilderness resemble the top national parks in the USA. I agree, Disney has a great culture and every single cast member should uphold it.

[@marispilgrim1677]

Fort Wilderness used to be such a great experience when I was young. I'm so sorry that it fell so short for you.

On a side note, the main pool used to have a deep end, didn't have a fence around it and was open 24 hours a day, used to hang out there late at night when tent camping in the good old days of $35 and under with AAA discount.

Fort wilderness was where I first tried jai alai ipa! Bought it at the camp store. We really enjoyed our stay there.

[@markshelhart8338]

Another great video, the signage needs to be better at the entrance; that happens all the time there. It's a nice campground, but it's really spread out and they've gotten real aggressive on their pricing. The non premium full hookups are actually more spread out but it can be a long walk to the bus stop and comfort stations from the distant sites.

[@hyflyin1]

HI Robert !! A really top notch video... nice to see so many hotels up close and personal. We have been to Disney World 5 or 6 times in the past 20 years and we always leave with mixed feelings. Sometimes there are just to many people and too many lines - to me not worth it. Now retired I would prefer peace and tranquility. We went to Fort Wilderness (during our stay at the Polynesian (loved that hotel !!!) just to rent bikes and drive around. It was very nice, everyone had their RV's decorated for Halloween, and it was a lot of fun to see them all. You put so much effort and time into these videos and it shows. Thanks for sharing - as always !! Nice to see you and your lovely lady again - even for a brief shot - ;-) Keep it up - Be safe and always healthy !!!

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you!

[@christinestange4813]

Honesty is always best. I appreciate your candid review of Fort Wilderness as I am sure others will as well. After all it isn't dirt bottom cheap and you should expect relative value. Rudeness is unacceptable anywhere in the hosptality business. I stayed in the economy accomodations at Disney with my son, more than several years ago. Nothing special to retire to in the evening .... but included fresh towels and pleasant personnel. Also included 3 meals in our choice of venues and entrance into several major parks & the water parks ..... MORE than enough to do during our 4 day stay .... affordable as well through the AAA. Appreciate your update (as only you can do, excellent!). Would love to go back.

[@KrisiaVaca]

I just found your video on Ft. Wilderness and I must say we LOVE it here. Sites are hit or miss and last time we went got a corner site much like yours with the garbage cans right there but there so much greenery between that we didn't even noticed it. There are so many positives about this campground one of them being that you can have up to 10ppl in one site so when you divide the price (it changes on the season) for how many ppl are staying with you I feel it's totally worth it. We love the boat ride to Magic Kingdom, movie night and smores by the fire with the kids, not to mention the horse and pony rides, trails, fire works by the Marina make this campground a magical experience. I do hope you give Fort Wilderness a second chance and maybe stay in the preferred loops (site 113) close to the Marina, it's our favorite. Save travels Robert!

[@lindanerney9896]

It;s always invaluable to get an honest opinion. Disney charges top dollar and should be giving an excellent experience.

In 1981 I visited Disney World in an RV. Then, a dream had come true. It was a magic place, despite the economic background. Honestly, I would not want to go there now at all. Thanks for your video. Greetings from Bavaria, Germany.

Most beaches at Disney closed after the gator attack last year.

[@okeesmokee6658]

Another informative video. You talk about the "Disney" experience, and I would agree that you didn't have that with much of your campsite experience - which makes this video very informative. Based on what you read about Disney Check-in, all you needed to do was to present your wrist band at the gate and head to your campsite - still haven't a clue as to what value the smartass guard added. As for Sanaa - one of our favorites. We don't stay on property - we consider condos as our RV. Thanks!

[@kahalak8171]

You had a nice attitude even though that expensive campsite and "welcome" you received at the gate was way below par. Hopefully someone at Disney gets to view your posting so they can correct the wrongs - and compensate you for the disappointing experience. They should be thankful that you provided this honest feedback so they can improve. Keep up the great work, and thank you for your honesty in showing us what Disney camping has to offer - I'm not interested in going there at this point and I appreciate you taking the time to film this in order to prevent the rest of us from making the same mistake. Thank you for posting.

We stayed at Fort Wilderness Campground two weeks ago, we also had an upgraded site and I felt the same way about the campground. We also checked in online and still had to stop to talk to someone at the main gate there, but we got a nice lady vs the grumpy security guard. As you were I was also pretty disappointed with the site, it was very small they were stacked on top of each other with no privacy, there was hardly enough room for our Travel Trailer and parking for the tow vehicle. Other sites around us had vehicles parked everywhere where they shouldn't have been parked, for example on the grass at the shower house on the sides of the loop roads making it difficult to drive through the loop and it didn't seem that anyone from the resort cared because there were vehicles parked all over like this our entire stay. The transportation system is needlessly confusing there and it took us about 2-3 days before we really had it figured out, it was a frustrating experience to say the least. There really was no parking at any of the stores, pools etc on the property so you either had to walk, ride your bike, wait for transportation or have a golf cart to get there. We were there with our kids so we really didn't spend much time at the campground. The campground is not a place I would stay for a "relaxing" vacation spot and will not be back unless we are going to the parks again. So in other words the campground itself imo is not a destination without the parks being included in the destination.

[@takingyouwithme9194]

The first time we stayed at FW, I remember reading in my online research that you must go through the main check-in area the first time. I wish they would tell you that upfront. We always stay in the preferred sites. They are much cheaper than the premium and closer to the boats and restaurants.

[@leahsmith3217]

Very informative, loved it!

[@ernieland2480]

Good one Robert! And factual. Hope Disney picks up on your lead. Hey it was good to see your camping buddie. He seems like he is a few chips short of a full cookie, I've got friends like him also lol.

[@janrantoo2213]

We stayed in Port Orleans French Quarter on the recommendation from my cousin. It was a great place to stay. He said the buses pick up from FQ 1st then onto Riverside. During high volume times, the Riverside guests might have to wait for a couple buses to get a seat. This 1 week vacation was the most exhausting vacation we've ever had! We were constantly on the go.

[@carriesherman775]

One week ago, we were at Fort Wilderness for a dinner reservation (Hoop Dee Doo). The cast member at the gate had us pull aside and demanded to see our reservation. I wasn't prepared as no other resort gate had demanded it. Needless to say, we held up the line and were left with less than warm fuzzies with the whole situation. All other resorts had only needed to see my driver's license. I wonder if it's mostly security that's the issue.

[@bstargel]

Great video Robert! This one had the wife & kids gathered around the TV watching along with me because they are interested in going to Disney and staying at Fort Wilderness in particular. I would have gotten the same bad taste in my mouth from that guard as well as the dumpster right next to your campsite. For the excessive price, you have every right to critique Disney! Thanks again for all you do & for another great video. See you on the road!

Robert, I don’t think you were harsh at all. I agree with everything you just said. Even for the price for the stay is pretty outrageous. It should be half the price because of no “hotel” service at the campsite that should be fair and reasonable.😜 . Other than that, I enjoyed your experience through the Disney hotels hopping. Beautiful hotels and outdoor space. I would definitely check it out. Thanks for sharing your experience! See you on the road next time.

Must be more demand than supply by rvers to get into Fort Wilderness. The price is high but people pay it. $200 is way overpriced I think.

[@AZCJA]

The original Big River brewery is in Chattanooga. Same company that owns Rock Bottom and Gordon Biersch.

[@jlipcovich]

When we went I gotten a text and an email at 11am well ahead of the normal check in time stating that my site was ready. The guard waived us thru and we drove straight to our sight. We are in a 42’ class A and had no problems with check-in. We also had trash and recycling bins at our site that were emptied every morning. We had zero issues the two times we went. The App needs to be more simple to navigate and yes I wish it were less expensive but overall we had a good time. We paid $145/night for our premium site the end of July this year and we stayed in the 1300 loop. Regardless of the guards “grumpiness” I wouldn’t let that forecast my stay there.

[@sued115]

Robert at $200 a night, was there any other fees, such as access to everything you filmed or was that included in the price please?

Yes, per night. It was still high season.

Disney may reach out to you about that guard. At least, they should. That was terrible and certainly not the Disney way. And as others have said, that's the first person you interact with on Disney property and it should be pleasant and inviting.

I didn't know you then, but we where there at the same time and I remember seeing your camper there with your travelingrobert advertisement and wondering what it was all about, now I know. Love your videos. We where just across the street 5 or so spots down from you. We agree, it was a nice experience, but pricey. We had a better spot, trash cans where across the street from us not in our face and we paid close to 200 per night. And, like you said, the grill was from the 90's!. Still had a great time, we did a lot of the same things you did, surprised we didn't see you out and about.

Thank you Robert for a wonderful, informative travelogue. You don't have to be politically correct with us! Disney shouldn't employ some grumpy old Grandpa who probably was fired from his job as a Walmart greeter! 😝 We also expect a higher standard from Disney, especially at those prices! So I think your assessment was very fair. Happy Trails...and keep on traveling! Next time you're in my Disneyland neighborhood in Anaheim California, I'd be honored to take you & your lovely wife out to dinner!

[@jameshunter3977]

Your comments were fair. We stayed years ago and had a great time, but $200 is crazy for a campsite. Now we have also stayed (years ago 1996 and 2006) at Old Key West and Port Orleans and both were fantastic. Our last trip in 2019 was the worst. We went to Hollywood Studios. The rides were dated, the crowds were crazy, expensive and they closed the place at 8 pm. Never going back. We really enjoy your videos and perspective.

[@diane5819]

[@keithwedin6307]

Too harsh on ft wilderness. Yes the campsites are close together and it’s expensive, but Robert paid for a top tier site. Believe it or not the normal sites are usually more spacious, and they are usually around $100 vs $200. Not to mention, being and older couple I don’t think ft wilderness is really geared towards people Roberts/his wife’s age. We go twice a year with our kids and count down to the next visit every time!!!

We prefer and always book the standard site and half the time get an upgrade offered. Its quieter in the full hook loops.

It doesn’t matter. A nicer site should be nicer. I felt the same as Robert when we went in 2011 when our kids were 10 and 11. I wasn’t overly impressed!

When it comes to staying here, like other places, do your research. You don't need to pay $200 a night here. Not to mention there are discounts available all the time and there is a site that shows you details of all the sites including how easy it is to back in and how spacious they are. I can't list it here because Google keeps deleting it.
