Hi Everyone. I love going to WDW but I :love::love::love: staying at FW Cabins. I began searching the boards a few weeks ago for FW reviews and any new information I could find. I noticed that there was not a lot of post about my beloved FW Cabins :crazy2:. How could this be? FW is THE best place to stay. OK, I may be a little bit bias. I decided it was probably time that I wrote a pre trip to publicly show the love that I have for The Fort.

Cast of characters-

Me- age 51, The instigator of all Disney trips.:teeth:

DH- Age 52, likes Disney as long as he can fish. :fish:

SIL- Age 58, Always willing to go with us! And my official ride partner. :thumbsup2

DS- age 13, He loves WDW but not all things Disney. :cool:

DGS - Age 5, my SIL grandson, this will be his first trip to see the Mouse and the excuse I needed to go!:dumbo:


Here is a picture of the last time were at WDW. IMG_4072.JPG This was caught at CBR.

The Details: Trip dates are from 1SEP to 6SEP 2017 staying at a Fort Wilderness Cabin. yup, you got that right, 5 people and one bathroom. :crazy2:

I made reservations last May using my military discount. it came to be $1239.51 (taxes included) for 5 nights. I saved $183.22 from the Enchanted Escape room offer that is being offered now. And that is a pretty good deal. :thumbsup2

We also purchased 4-day park hopper Salute Tickets for $209pp. Saving of $200 a ticket. We do not live near a ITR in Indiana. We have to purchase the tickets through Wright-Patterson AFB ITR office. They are very easy to work with and I had my tickets in the mail soon after I paid for them.

We did purchase rental car through Budget for $200.00 prepaid. It in included a discount through USAA.

And the big splurge was the Golf Cart rental through FW for approximately $300. By far the biggest expense but so much fun. More on that further down.

I am so thankful that Disney continues to do Military discounts. It has allowed us to keep coming back often. We saved at least $1200 on this trip using the discounts.

Next post- Must have's for staying at FW Cabins.
