    Default Going to disney!

    Taking the kids to the great mouse-money trap in orlando. I understand the Fort Wilderness rv park is friendly enough for rigs our size. Looking for a place to stay at the halfway point. Thinking about http://www.pensacolarvpark.com/ based on the rvparks.com review.

    Anything I need to know about either place besides bring lots of money to feed the Mouse?

    Doug,

    A little further down the interstate is Eagles Landing RV park in Holt, FL. $25/night Very nice park.

    Easy on/off interstate at exit 45. All 100' pull thrus 35' wide grassy/gravel sites. Good overnight place to stop.

    I've stayed at http://www.avalonlandingrvpark.com/ earlier this year. Easy on/off the I-95. A few sites that are big enough for us. We also stayed at http://koa.com/campgrounds/milton/ earlier this year. Easy on/off I-95, plenty of room for your rig. We stayed in an "executive site". It was a great level site. I picked this one over the first.

    I would consider http://www.bellaterrarvresort.com/ if you wanted to do more than spend the night. I haven't been there, but want to.

    Depending on your schedule, keep Alliance Coach http://www.alliancecoach.com/ in mind. It's a good cheap place for the night or service. The CG is really there for service customers, but you can stay there if they have room.

    Enjoy your trip,

    I know this is not what you asked about but when you get to the check-in at Fort Wilderness, leave the coach and ask to be driven to the spot they assigned to you. The "front office" has no clue what 45 feet of Prevost means! We like staying there but twice we had to be relocated because we would not have been able to get into our assigned spots! So, you want to look first! Great place to stay, reasonably priced, very clean, mostly quiet, lots of green space and, of course, close to all of what Mickey has got to offer!

    Thanks for the first-hand account .. Is it worth upgrading to one of the "Premier" sites?

    Doug,

    Definitely upgrade to the premium sites. We have done Ft. Wilderness in the bus six times. The premium sites are much nicer than the others. It is a big hit with the kids. I would seriously consider taking I-49 from Shreveport to Baton Rouge and avoid the back roads across Mississippi. For the trip, there is a nice rest area just the other side of Pensacola (around mile 30) that we generally pull into and run the generator and get a few hours to sleep (a little more than halfway from Houston). If you want a hookup send Dan Smith (Dans) a PM. He has a spot just off of I-10 in Mississippi (I think around Diamond Head) that has a 50 amp plug.

    Doug,
    I would agree with Loc on taking La 49 out of Shrevport. The loop off of I-20 around to La 49 is kind of rough but its only a few miles and once on 49 its all good. I've also taken the route you show thru Mississippi, I believe its also highway 49(Mississippi 49) and while its an ok route the other is better.
