thats the one, she really is a great person, we call her the mayor of the 700 loop, spent 4 months there last summer and enjoyed the parks and deer spotting with them every night. That was truly the best 4 months of my life , too bad i did not realize it till we left.

Going into 1200 loop on 10/27 for three nights and doing the Not so scary Halloween on the 29th. Great place!

If you see any sites with signs that say Fort Fiends and a picture of a purple flamingo on it stop by and say hello, they are a great bunch of folks that love everything Disney and the Fort plus if you have a problem while there they will be the first to offer any help. Also check out their site Fort Fiends

It takes some planning if you want a site during certain times of the year. But I will be there in 81 days for 2 weeks solid. (we usually do a week near St. Augastine then move to Disney, but we decided to make FW our base camp for the whole trip.)

the trick is to book many more days than you need to get the reservation, than call and cancel the days you don't want. or PM me and I will give you hilda's number, she is my travel agent and will get you in.

Well worked for wdw for a few years and still have some connections that get me friends/family rates. So for me getting a reservation is about timing. Need to way in advance or wait til pretty close to time for more discount spaces to open. I am in the 1200 loop this week

until Disney eliminated the travel agent discount be were planning on staying for a few years, once they got rid of that discount could not justify 3000/month for camping so we bought another house.
