Hey FORT WILDERNESS Lovers!!
I'd like to know what's the LONGEST TIME you've stayed at Fort Wilderness?
We just stayed in FW this past weekend and saw so many campsites set-up to look like they were staying forever!! Lights, lamps, trains, flags, character cut-outs, signs, you-name-it. When I was a teenager, we used to stay at FW every summer for 2 weeks, but I don't remember people going that all-out.
Also, on the bus, my Godmother was talking to a man who said he had been there since Dec. 1st and was leaving this week!! That's 3 months!! If only....
Tell me about your extra long trips!
thanks!

Disneyland & Cali Adventure in June 2007
Hope to someday make it to Japan, China, and back to Paris for Disney Studios!

We stayed for two weeks last June, and just got back from staying last week as well. That is the longest for us, but we have talked to people that have been there for months.

While we have never stayed at Fort Wilderness I can tell you that people around here go all out even for just a weekend. It is not unusual to see a camper around here pull their rig into a campground late on a Friday afternoon or early evening and spend the next two or three hours setting stuff up only to take it all down again and leave by noon on Sunday!!

The longest we ever stayed was 2 weeks but that was a number of years ago.

Two weeks is the most for us to date. We were there the end of May last year and the RV in the next space to us had quite a lot set up, including regular sized sand box for their little one.

We were in either the 200 or 300 loop last May.

We stayed for 12 days back in the summer of 2000. We loved it. We use to have a Class C. I grew up vacationing at Fort Wilderness. It was a fulfillment of a dream to drive my own motorhome down there.

We used to stay for two weeks when I was a kid. The longest I have stayed as an adult is 10 days. If my wife didn't work, we would stay longer as I am self employed and can do my work anywhere.
When we stayed in the cabin 10 days in Feb, we didn't decorate at all. I am thinking it might be fun to do next time. If the RV's can do it, I might as well in the cabin!

10 nights for us is the longest. We stay that long nearly everytime we go. We go mostly in the summer and don't do a lot of decorating, but the one Christmas we took the trailer, we did. My older two sons and my husband put up lights on the trailer, which looked great but wouldn't stay up, and all the inside.
One summer we parked next to a man who said he had been there 3 months..he had a motorcycle, a VW bug and a motorhome all parked on his sight. He said he was on vacation. I want to be on vacation at Ft. Wilderness for 3 months!! PLEASE!!

1) You can stay 6-months on a single ressie.
2) If you stay more, you need a separate ressie.
3) WL is a favorite campground in Florida.
4) The prices are actually close to other RV parks.
5) Plus, two other MAJOR parks closed lately.
6) This made FW a prime RV park.
7) Thus, lots of people stay and don't do parks.

We stayed 2 weeks before but I think that max stay now is 10 days

Our longest stay was 17 nights. It was supposed to be 15, but we had problems with our van and had to add another 2 nights. Our AP had expired on what was supposed to be our last day so we took the 2 days to explore some of the resorts and spend some extra time at Downtown Disney. It really was a relaxing way to end our vacation, but I could have done without the repair bill on the van.

Nope. We've got campsite ressies for 25 days in October, so I don't think they limit it, other than the 6 month maximum.
I think the 10 day limit only applies to packages.
