Hi all. Looking forward to another wonderful trip to Fort Wilderness campground in February!
This is my first time taking care of the reservations - usually another family member does, and I didnt have to worry about anything, but ive got some questions. Due to the way the reservation system works, it is extremely difficult to book Fort Wilderness campsites in one sequential booking. I had to wait for days to open up, and book the sites as they became available, and then combine the different reservations under one booking. No problems there!
Here is what we have
1. A reservation for 1 night + tickets for 3 days (as a package)
2. A reservation for 5 nights "room only"
The issue I have is that the tickets are attached to that first single night as a "package", so they are only valid for the subsequent 3 days. We like to go one day, rest and chill, go another day, rest, etc. Unfortunately, because the package is booked at the beginning of the stay, it forces us to do park days without rest days.
I'm trying to find a solution that will allow us to use the park tickets over the 6 nights / 7 days as we wish.
Booking tickets separately is a no-go because they are non refundable, non changeable if not part of a package.
I thought about changing the package to 2 days only and adding a day while we are there if we want a third day - not sure how much more $$ they are if we go this way. Every phone call to Disney is 1+ hour, so I thought the experts here might have some suggestions for us!
