Thank you for always including costs in your tours whenever you’re able to. So many CZcamsrs skip over that, and with everything constantly going up in price It’s great to have someone that will shoot us straight and tell us what things cost!
Finally, a thorough, detailed tour of Fort Wilderness specifically on what it’s like to be a tent camper ! This was so informative! Thank you Dev and Brian! Great video!
We rented a Trailer in Feb., came with a golf cart, it was wonderful! So beautiful and peaceful, ate at trails end, delicious, watched the fire works and water pagent,the pool was warm and fun, we would get off the bus after a long day at the parks, hopped right on our golf cart which was parked very close, a nice cool breezy ride back to our site,we loved it!
Used to camp in fort wilderness in the 1970s when I was a kid with my parents. What a difference in what it is today. Thanks for sharing all the different things to do and see. As well as the prices etc..
I too was there in the 70s. The tent sites were sand at the time which they raked often because of tire tracks. I still like sand better for ground camping. The wash house was air conditioned too! We flew down rented a car to get to the camp ground and turned it in. We caught the regular bus back. The campground was not prepared for someone without a car to checkout! We came inside and were told we had to go back outside and go through the drive through. When I protested that I thought it was dangerous standing between cars inhaling exhaust fumes, I was told to get back in my car! I asked if we could leave the footlocker and the duffle bag inside! She finally figured out the problem and let us check out inside. I remember there was transportation to the magic kingdom, by water. As well as the regular tram like vehicles that moved people around.
Camping in a tent in Florida in the summer is not for the faint of heart. At fort wilderness if camping in a tent November through February are the best months.
Good morning dev happy Monday morning and I just wanted to say that your thumbnails is amazing I'm proud of you and you are amazing Supporter my friend
I can’t believe I missed you! I just left the Fort on Sunday. I was there for 3 weeks. I’ve been following your channel for a couple of years and was hoping to see you around Disney while I was there. You probably passed us (and my yellow lab Bennett) on the golf carts. Thanks for your great vlog Dev.
Great place to go if you love the outdoors. Hoping they bring back Chip & Dale campfire sing a long. I enjoyed that. Yes, a golf cart is definitely the way to go
camped here in 2008! met chip and dale there and it’s one of my fondest memories from my childhood and this is one of my favorite disney resorts to stay in! the hotels are just not really giving that disney experience but the campsite is just so much fun, glad to see it’s not so different
Literally at MCO now about to fly home after our Disney vacation. First time it felt so different in a negative way. We hated Genie+. Even at 7am, the first LLs for Jungle Cruise were for times past 6pm. Bearing in mind a lot.of visitors will have jet lag for the first few days so early evening just isnt.doable but absolutely no morning slots. Buying Genie+ and then sitting on your phone from 06.55 am guarantees nothing. We travelled 4,500 and weren't able to get on JC, Tower of Terror or Pirates. We never faced this with Fast Passes and didnt have to spend an extra $90+ per day for fast passes like we did for G+. If you book your first LL at 7.00, by the time you can book your second there's very limited choice left. VERY limited. Disney's greed means we won't be coming back now after years of visits. Fact is - there's so much less on offer yet it costs so much more $$$$$$$
Great video Dev, you showed other features and food places plus items I haven't seen in other Fort Wilderness videos. 🧡🌺 Thank you very much, and thank you to your friend for sharing as well.
We stayed in the cabins in November and loved it. We weren’t able to reserve a golf cart but it was a short walk to the bus stop. Loved the boat over to Magic Kingdom!! Ready to go back!!
Camping? Oh I’m definitely tuned in!🔥 Thank you for another video Dev! I actually had plans to Vlog my stay at Fort Wilderness… but this video dropped JUST in time before I booked my stay!
Hi from Toronto. My wife and I stayed in Fort wilderness in a 21 foot travel trailer way back in 1979 so it was interesting to see how it’s changed over the years. Of course there were no golf carts available then. Brings back memories.
Man this was awesome!!!! Man you had me dying laughing when you said you wasn't prepared to ride space mountain when you guys went off road!!!!! Thanks for another great video big brother!!!!
I have an SUV tent from Napier and camped out this last February. I thought I would be the only idiot camping out in the cold and it gets down to 45-50 degrees at night, but there were tons of tent campers. The WiFi is great! I have cots, brought a heater, electric grill, cozy sleeping bags - comfort stations were impeccable - Gonna do it again. Plus, hardly anyone on the ferry at night. And people were swimming in February!!
Overall similar, some expansion of more sites but some areas like the swamp trails and trains are gone. Group camping is now a picnic area but was closed while there.
Very nice informative video, I think you covered everything anyone would need to know if they were going to stay there. Thanks for another great video 😊!
I've tent camped in August (survival of the fittest time) and February (quite nice). Cabins in October for a half dozen years. When solo, I tent. When with the family, I cabin or cheat on Fort Wilderness by staying over at Caribbean Beach. FW is my absolute favorite. Thermocell for bugs at the site -- keeps you from having to be all DEET sticky all the time. Tent camping is second nature for me. Newbies might not have a great time doing this :)
I’m with you….we have stayed twice in the cabins and will be there again in June plus will be staying again at Halloween for the party at MK….it is so wonderful staying there. You feel like being in another Disney park because of all the wild life and activities going n. So worth the price. The golf cart is a must!
I loved this review! I haven’t seen a review that did is greater job covering all the different options you have at Fort Wilderness. I’ve always wanted to stay there, but could never really get a ton of information about it. Thank you!
We have done 2 trips to WDW. The 1st we did it big 5 nights 6 days thought we stayed at POP Century. Then we did a very quick simple camping trip of 1 day park and 2 nights tent camping. It was SO much cheaper and motivated us to come more often, so we got a fixer upper pop up camper. Sadly, then came Covid and we haven't been back yet but we plan on a trip soon. We LOVED the campground! It was quiet, lots of things to do, gave Disney magic for less money, and the boat trip to MK is the best way to travel.
Love camping Dev! Only thing about RV’s they need to be stored somewhere and can cost as much as a house! Many are just so cool! Enjoy all your videos especially the diversity! Love Disney, but enjoy all the other events, parks and locations you travel to! Keep up the good work!
We love the campgrounds. We rent a cabin and it is great for a larger size family. We never get the golf cart though to save on money and we have never had issues. There is a private ferry to take you to magic Kingdom but all the other parks you need to take the busses. It's a unique experience on Disney property.
Camping in Fort Wilderness with my mom as a kid was one of our favorite things to do!! We also...really enjoyed River Country, watching the water parade, the campfire program, and Hoop De Doo!!! :)
I've stayed at various Disneyworld resorts but have yet to do the camping thing. I am very interested in doing this, thanks for providing a look around the site.
We stayed in a cabin a few years ago-rented golf cart from outside vendor (had a rental before and after ours so just left keys in cart). It was SO FUN it was difficult to get motivation to get to parks. The boat ride to MK or resorts was AWESOME though and the boat captains (used to anyway) time rides around MK fireworks-like having a private charter but better as was already included in price.
Backside of pool...Is that like backside of water? 🤣 How much do prices change through the year? Cool! Can see the fireworks plus planet alignment on the right!
Dude, this made my day. I went to WDW for the first in the Spring of 1972 around Easter. I spent my honeymoon, almost 34 years ago there. As a kid we always stayed at Fort Wilderness. My 28 year old son's first big vacation was in Fort Wilderness at Christmas time. We drove from Virginia over night and got there at 6am to check in. I still have a video somewhere of him running around in the check in office in his footy PJS. We have not been there since the 2005. Wow this brought back so many memories. Whispering Pines Way and Palmetto Path were our camping loops of choice. I want so bad to bring that 28 year olds family and the 26 years old daughter's family there to enjoy that place. As much as the upper management of Disney has gone so far away from Walt's original dream and gift, that place still seems like the magical place I remember. Thank you for this.
Such a relaxing resort! The horse back riding alone is something my Family would Enjoy, that and fishing! After awhile it’s great to unplug from technology and enjoy God’s creations in peace. ❤️ 🏊🏼♀️ 🎣 🐎 ⛳️ 🚙 🏕 🥘 🏬 💚
Thank you for always including costs in your tours whenever you’re able to. So many CZcamsrs skip over that, and with everything constantly going up in price It’s great to have someone that will shoot us straight and tell us what things cost!
$220 per day. LOL

You can also contract with an outside company, Disney approved that will deliver a rented RV your camp site and pick up when your trip is over
We bought a camper 2 years ago and now The Fort is our home resort. So much to do and the golf carts are so much fun. We love it!
GREAT VIDEO Man'.... I COULD LIVE THERE....And be REAL HAPPY!!!!!!
Camping at ft wilderness is perfect during cooler months…
Absolutely!!
What a beautiful place to stay. Thank you dev for these amazing video!!!!
This video is done perfectly, I'd love to stay here from the video alone. Subscribed!
When I was younger we used to go to Fort Wilderness, used to visit to go to the pool and when we were on vacation ride the bikes. It was so great.
Great video, never would of thought of camping at Disney ,sound fun.
I'm staying in the cabins next month, I can't wait, I love the cabins, I would never camp there too hot and too many bugs but I love the cabins.
The cabins are fantastic! Enjoy your stay.
Yes, way too hot in the summer to tent it for me , but really want to try the cabins! Thanks Dev !
Hey Dev, I really enjoyed this video, thank you!
Of course, thank you for watching Spencer!
Used to camp in fort wilderness in the 1970s when I was a kid with my parents.
What a difference in what it is today.
Thanks for sharing all the different things to do and see. As well as the prices etc..
I sometimes wish I could see what Disney World was like in the early days with my own eyes. Thank you for watching Ronald!
I too was there in the 70s. The tent sites were sand at the time which they raked often because of tire tracks. I still like sand better for ground camping. The wash house was air conditioned too!

First trip to Disney in 1975 the family stayed at Fort Wilderness. Start of my love of Disney!
We will be at Fort Wilderness in 2 1/2 months. Third trip. It is definitely a unique camping experience.
As always great informational video Dev
Thank you so much Joanna!

We stayed in a cabin rented golf cart. Love that place . Buses took to long Horses. Wow Thanks for your tour. Def been updated since we were there
Your speaking voice is fabulous my friend! If you aren’t in broadcasting you could be for sure. Great video and thanks for posting.
Excellent, thanks so much for detailed information.
Thanks for this video. I get to see a part of WDW I probably will never go over to, but it’s fun nevertheless!
I like how it seems more relaxed and laid back there.

We are staying at the Cabins at fort wilderness June 8-15!!! Love your videos you are the best! :)
Have so much fun!!
Always love watching your videos!
Thank you so much Lisa!
A really great detailed tour of the facility there. Thanks for that. And a great speaking voice too. Nice work.
We have camped at Fort Wilderness twice. Fantastic campground.
Thank you giving us a great tour of the property. It looks like it would be a lot of fun to camp there, especially during the holidays!
We have stayed here, in our RV, several times. Thank you for doing a review! Great Place to RV!
No one had done a good review of FW- until you.
Great video bro. I’m digging the timestamps as well. Appreciate you. 😎
Great video! It’s hard to find Fort Wilderness videos. Looks like a great time!
Thank you Brian for inviting us to your campsite. Thank you for all the tips and tricks.
So fun to see you reminisce! Glad to see you enjoying the park in ways that most people wouldn't. Very insightful and helpful.
Thank you so much for watching Dave!
Brings back memories! Our family camped there in the 90s. SO fun.
Thank you Dev
I'm finally over here Dev! Me and my family are always looking for you out and about the parks 🤣
Welcome!! I’ll be around the parks a lot this week. Be on the lookout. Have fun!
Great place to go if you love the outdoors. Hoping they bring back Chip & Dale campfire sing a long. I enjoyed that.
Yes, a golf cart is definitely the way to go
Very informative. Thank you!
Just adding another Disney thing to do for my bucket list!! Another awesome informative video, thanks Dev

Pizza Cone with "PC" on their logo.... perfect for you, Dev! 😊

Thank you very much, and thank you to your friend for sharing as well.
My family camped there in our RV twice, Christmas week 1994 and June 1997. Best campground ever.
That pizza cone looks good!
I grew up camping at Fort Wilderness until my parents bought dvc back in the 90’s. Super fond memories of camping in our pop up. Thanks Dev!
I can't imagine being in a tent in that humidity. Definitely a better Winter choice!
We stayed in the cabins in November and loved it. We weren’t able to reserve a golf cart but it was a short walk to the bus stop. Loved the boat over to Magic Kingdom!! Ready to go back!!
Thanks for the video. This is one part of Disney property I have not seen.
That’s my cart at 30:40! Glad you like it!
Man, that was some great information, that's one place on my bucket list. I have a travel trailer, and that's one place I wanna go too
Love all the Vlogs but what impresses me is your in depth information and your honest advice Thankyou Dev
It was hot enough there in December. I’d never even attempt to go there in the summer. Great video.
Wow Looks like an incredible place! Thank you Dev and to your friend for sharing 👍

We were there from Apr 24 to May 1st and our grandkids fished and did the gem mining. We LOVE staying in Fort Wilderness!
Man this was awesome!!!! Man you had me dying laughing when you said you wasn't prepared to ride space mountain when you guys went off road!!!!! Thanks for another great video big brother!!!!
HEYY Dev I enjoy your videos and I can’t wait to visit Orlando again Tell Bianca I said Hello as well 💕💕
Yes please camp there! We love your informative videos!! We just camped at Wekiva and swam at Kelly Rock, definitely want to camp there!

Thank you so much for the tour and overview. As a West Coaster this is something I've never known anything about - it looks SO nice!
Brilliant video Dev, would love to stay here, looks beautiful 😍

I really appreciate this comment C K!
Thanks for the detailed review. Best 1 I've seen! Going in January and this helped a ton.
Hi Dev watched the video and enjoyed it. Also the emoji you add in the video while looking at the horses int eh stable lol

Highly recommend the RV idea. Lived in one for four years till we found our place in the country. Hubby fell Ill and had to sell it. Lord I miss my RV
Did the horseback riding and it was fun!!
Stayed in that loop on our honeymoon in 1999. My favorite place
Camping in Fort Wilderness with my mom as a kid was one of our favorite things to do!! We also...really enjoyed River Country, watching the water parade, the campfire program, and Hoop De Doo!!! :)
FINALLY DEV my husband and I was talking about this ask him what time of the year he suggest
The best time for a stay at Fort Wilderness is fall time during the Halloween season or even in November- January Natisha.
I've stayed at various Disneyworld resorts but have yet to do the camping thing. I am very interested in doing this, thanks for providing a look around the site.
Never even knew the Circle D Ranch existed... will have to check it out when I go in the summer.
We stayed in a cabin a few years ago-rented golf cart from outside vendor (had a rental before and after ours so just left keys in cart). It was SO FUN it was difficult to get motivation to get to parks.

Thanks for sharing! Looking at camping during mickeys not so scary!
That’s definitely the best time!
@@PCDev do you know if people start putting decorations in august?
It would have been nice to see inside the laundry and a cabin. Thanks for the video.
The BEST campground!!
Hi Dev & Brian. Thanks so much for a thorough walk through of the resort. I love when you tour the resorts! Thanks again for a great vid!
Very in depth review Dev! Loved the thoroughness of it. Looked like so much fun! Thanks for sharing.
Hello Dev thanks for another amazing video
Backside of pool...Is that like backside of water? 🤣
How much do prices change through the year?
Cool! Can see the fireworks plus planet alignment on the right!
Do the carriage ride during Christmas or Halloween to ride through all the decor at the sites!
