Interesting. I've always wished that the campground had a quick service restaurant. I always figured a lot of people cooked in their campers so there wouldn't be a huge demand for it, but when we're at Disney we're all about the parks and never want to spend time making our own meals. I'd love to be able to grab some Mickey waffles before catching the boat to the Magic Kingdom in the morning.Didn't see this posted anywhere.

They do have a quick service restaurant that's take out and open for all meals. They also do have Mickey Waffles on the menu in the morning too. The QS location is called P&J's Southern Take out.
Also there is the Meadow Snack bar at the pool that has salads, sandwiches, etc.
What. On. Earth. We've stayed there dozens of times and I've never heard of such a thing. My parents are going to kick themselves for never knowing about the carryout chicken dinner on the menu. It doesn't appear to be on any of the campground maps that Google Images turned up and it took me a long time to figure out where it even was. I do still like the idea of a regular QSR place with a seating area and a full menu though.

It only became known as P&Js within the last year (named after some long-serving Cast Members I think), before that it was just the take-out window at Trails End and therefore wasn't separately referenced as it was just a window as part of Trails End.

I think I found it, but looks like the application referenced by the article is withdrawn.

Why would that worry you? In a site full of petty complaints, DVC is one of the biggest ones. How will the presence of DVC at Fort Wilderness impact your experience in any way whatsoever?Normally I'd be excited for a new restaurant at Fort Wilderness, but I'm just worried that they're ramping up for DVC.

None of that is unique to DVC. What you seem to be objecting to is expansion in general. The same "problems" you identified would be present if they expanded with non-DVC cabins or additional campsites.DVC at Ft. Wilderness would bring the following to Ft. Wilderness: Overcrowding. Destruction of natural resources. Increase in automobile traffic in a location that was deliberately (and brilliantly) designed to minimize the presence of the automobile. Possible destruction of classic structures (Pioneer Hall). Elimination of experiences unique to Ft. Wilderness (relocation of the stables, elimination of the petting zoo, possible elimination of the nature/biking/jogging trail between FW and the WL). Strain on existing infrastructure.
DVC has wrought so much overdevelopment and unnecessary destruction to the WDW landscape in recent years that it already impacts our experience in many ways whatsoever.

How optimistic of you. You must be fun at parties. Everyone knows how charmless and ordinary Animal Kingdom Lodge is, after all. And that 100% DVC Old Key West? Trash.I fully expect a DVC expansion would suck all of the charm out of the place.
Have you ever camped at Fort Wilderness?None of that is unique to DVC. What you seem to be objecting to is expansion in general. The same "problems" you identified would be present if they expanded with non-DVC cabins or additional campsites.
Yes. Tent camping many times and a few stays at the cabins.Have you ever camped at Fort Wilderness?
Awesome. If you've seen the proposed DVC plans then you should know why people have concerns. I don't think those concerns are petty...Yes. Tent camping many times and a few stays at the cabins.
