We drive down often from central NY with a travel trailer. We stop once of twice on the way down and camp for a couple days. We are retired and have no need to rush. We camp at Fort Wilderness when we get to Disney. If we fly down we often stay in one of the cabins.
Been at Pop many times and is one of my preferred as I like the food court and shop proximity. The rooms are comfy and while I have stayed at Port Orleans I still prefer Pop.
I used Mears before Magical Express and afterward. It does the job nicely and is convenient to book and they make your pickup times to return to MCO as expected or very close. It's an economical way to make it your resort.

I own an RV, a travel trailer, and it is not cheap. Most places do not allow you to park for free. Some Walmarts, do some don't for example. You buy an RV because you enjoy camping period. I do take my trailer to Ft. Wilderness because I enjoy the campground more than the other resorts. Do not...
