Hi,
I hope somebody might be able to answer a few questions about Fort Wilderness and specifically the cabins.
We usually stay at either Port Orleans or the Wilderness Lodge but this year we are planning on the cabins as we had another child and she will be less than 2 when we go and want to be able to put her down to sleep yet not feel like you are stuck in the dark afraid to move. The cabins seemed like a good choice as we can put her in the bedroom and then go in the living area.
So my questions in no particular order (I am sure to ramble as I go):
I see there is a portable crib listed as being in the closet but we are kind of nervous about it. Is it a pack n play type and if so has anybody used one and what did you think of it? We will bring our own pack n play if the other is no good but would prefer not to have to.
Is there sufficiant room to put the pack n play/crib in the bedroom and not be falling all over each other (2 adults and an 8 year old)?
Traveling from the cabin to the bus stop questions:
I read there is a bus that takes you from the cabins to the front entrance (or Pioneer Hall area) is that true?
Also though I read it takes a long time to get there. If that is the case are we able to drive our car to a parking lot near the entrance to Fort Wilderness and then take the bus from there? We don't want it to be an hour trip (20 min to get to the entrance, just missed a bus to the parks and wait 20 minutes and then take a bus to a park 20 minutes).
If it was nice out and you wanted to walk to the entrance or to Pioneer Hall how long is that walk? Also if we split up at night and I stay with the 8 year old at a park and my wife takes the baby back, if she walked is it safely lit?
Lastly if you have stayed in the cabins and in the other resorts were you happy with the cabins or do they feel like a step back? I am just so used to the Wilderness Lodge and Port Orleans it concerns me. I am sure unnecessarily so but I am all the same.
Thanks for any advice/answers.
Mike
