We're getting ready for our first trip to Disneyworld, and of course we're staying at Ft. Wilderness. Yay!
As we finish packing and planning (and nagging the various relatives who will be joining us not to forget anything important), I've got a couple of questions:
* What is the best route from Ft. Wilderness to the airport? One of our party is flying to meet us; the rest will arrive in the caravan.
* Where are the best places to grab groceries? I've heard there is one store nearby (besides the on-property options) that gouges ya... I found a route to a Costco 15 miles away which is a possibility, but I'm wondering if other people have better options.
* Speaking of shopping, are there Wal*Mart or Target type stores nearby, just in case... (I can hear it now... "Oops! Forgot to pack the lantern fuel!")
* We have an 8:05 reservation at Cindy's breakfast one day, before the boat can get us there. We've heard suggestions that we drive our own car over, or that we somehow connect via bus & monorail. Someone also mentioned that the front desk at Ft. Wilderness sent over a van to pick up their party and get them to the park on time. That last option sounds nice... Any idea how it works?
* How about laundry? How much does it cost at Ft. Wilderness? Any suggestions for a nearby laundromat as an alternative?
Thanks in advance for your help. As always, you guys are the GREATEST!
