My family is planning a Disney vacation this June. We are leaning towards booking a cabin but aren't sure we will be happy. Any info or input would be greatly appreciated! My husband is afraid it might take away from the whole "Disney experience."

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thank you to everyone who responded to my Disney Vacation question. We had a WONDERFUL time staying at the Camp Wilderness cabins! It was much easier/convenient renting the golf cart as well. The only downside was eating. It seemed we had to either ride a bus or catch a boat to go for meals since the place to eat was at the pool and it was the only place on the campground. It was only open from 11-5. Other than that, it was great!

I have been inside one, and could live in it. It is very nice, and it is like a small house. You will find plenty of activities on, and off property. I have seen families with newborn babies here, and I know they are here for themselves. The babies are used as an excuse for the young at hearts to come here, and have a wonderful time. I suggest that you schedule three evenings per week to do adult activities, and hire a sitter to come to the cabin. Please send me an email at ____@____.com, and I will give you more details about evenings or late nights childcare in your cabin. You can go out to dinner, go shopping, or on scary rides without any interruptions. Professional childcare provider with excellent references, background checks, and cheaper rate. Your children do not have to be potty trained, and you come back when you feel like it.

We stayed at the motel area. It was convenient and nice. I hear it a wonderful site. When I took my kids age 5-7 , they were on visual overload and dont remember much.

My sister and I took our kids to Disney and stayed in a cabin. We LOVED it and we have both stayed in other properties at Disney. It was much roomier, you could make your own breakfast (or lunch or supper). If you do it, I suggest you also rent a golf cart for the week. Things are very spread out there, and it's nice to have a golf cart to get down to the water so you can take a boat to the TTC (ticket and transportation center, or Magic Kingdom). The best thing about the golf cart is that we would go on rides at night to look at people's RVs (they're near there there) and we would see rabbits, deer, armadillos and other wildlife. I think my kids enjoyed that more than the parks! Whatever you do, have fun!

Hi S.. If you would like to read some reviews about the cabin, you can go to www.allearsnet.com. It is a great website for anyone planning to go to Disney World and staying on or off property.

I have never stayed at the cabins, but I have stayed at the Wilderness Lodge next door and I can tell you that if you are depending on the boat transportation to take you to most places, you really need to schedule your time wisely. The boat ride from resort to resort (the Contemporary to pick up the monorail) or to go to the Magic Kingdom, can take up to 1/2 hour. So, depending on the age of your children, staying somewhere to closer transportation may be worth it - especially if you have young ones that will need naps. We have taken toddlers and preschoolers on different trips. When with Toddlers we stayed at a monorail resort. It was fabulous to be so close and to come back at any time to rest. With the preschoolers was at the Wilderness Lodge. Though they could handle the boat ride - some times the walk from the boat launch to our room seemed VERY far for their little legs.

If you need more info, please feel free to email me. I love helping people plan their trip to the world. (No, I don't work for them. I just love vacationing there).
