We may just have a trip on our hands... Lots of questions!

Rubber maid containers would be great idea and the tarps very good also just remember some ropes or bungee cords to try to put it over your tent to make a rain flyjust remember to angle it so water can run off perferably the direction you want probably toward the back of the tent depending on the ground so it runs away from your stuff good luck and have fun

Thanks for all the tips!! They're really going to come in handy, not just for Fort Wilderness, but over the summer as well as we plan to spend lots of weekends camping! I'm glad we're going to get in a lot of practice close to home before heading all the way to Florida just to learn we don't know how to cook over charcoal or something equally silly (or true) like that. The rubbermaid bins sound like a good idea for easy packing, as we'd be so much less likely to forget something if it's already packed all together.

Keep the ideas coming, one can never be too prepared!

Well, just to update, we took the plunge and booked the trip today. We would have hated to have waited too long while thinking about it and missed out on the site, so we did it! And boy are we thrilled with the price! The CM on the phone was shocked how cheap we were able to stay. We'll be there for 5 nights/6 days towards the end of October and we used our AAA discount and the total was $189! What a steal. With the savings from AAA on the site we saved the equivalent of one of our Halloween party tickets. Life is good. Just wanted to share.

Congratulations! I'm sure you will love FW. Another suggestion for an activity outside the parks is the miniature golf at Fantasia Gardens and Summer/Winterplace. FW also has hammocks on the beach. You can spend some relaxing time there as well. Have a great time!

Sounds soooo relaxing...to just kick back and not have to worry about which park to go into each day. The idea to go into the park for the Halloween Party and leave late sounds like a great idea. The rest of the time can just be relaxing....

Have I mentioned it sounds relaxing??? Am I sounding just a bit jealous????

Sounds great, I hope you have a wonderful trip. You have many great tips in the above posts, but I would add that might want to take a fan. While it might be fall, the temps can still be on the warm side. Have you thought about getting a cart? If so, you might want to call the bike barn now to reserve one. Hope you have a great trip
