From Our MouseForLess Members:
MouseForLess Interesting Facts about the resort:
This is a huge camping resort with over 700 places to stay. You can stay in a tent clear up to a half million dollar motor home. - Debbie Kuhn
MouseForLess Room Request Tips:
Decide if you want to be near the Meadows area or the Settlement area. We love the Meadows area. We have stayed on Loop 1500 and the Meadows Pool was directly across the road and the bus stop was right there. This is a basic hook-up area. - Debbie Kuhn
MouseForLess Hidden Treasures:
Find the lawn mover tree. Where else can you eat breakfast with a bunny each morning. How about roving bands of peacocks? Go at a holiday time and you will be amazed at the decorated campers and tents. - Debbie Kuhn
MouseForLess Tips for Romance:
Relax together in a lawn chair and listen to nature----what could be more romantic. - Debbie Kuhn
MouseForLess Tips for Families:
Great for families--sites accommodate 2 adults and 6 children for the same price. - Debbie Kuhn
MouseForLess Tips for Large Travel Groups:
Arrange to have campers side by side or in same camping loop. - Debbie Kuhn
MouseForLess Tips for Guests with Special needs:
All bathhouses are immaculate and fully accessible. - Debbie Kuhn
MouseForLess Tips for WDW Newbies:
If you camped any place else before throw all notions of camping out the window as this is not the same old camp resort. Bathhouses are fabulous and air conditioned. - Debbie Kuhn
MouseForLess Tips for Budget Travelers:
If you are on a budget this is the place for you. Sites begin at approx. $45 a night and you have the same Resort privileges as someone at the Grand Floridian(EMH, bus transportation, etc.) Also you most likely will have your own cooking facilities which can save a bundle of cash. - Debbie Kuhn
MouseForLess Tips for Luxury Travelers:
Come in one of the half million dollar motor homes and you have your luxury. - Debbie Kuhn
