It’s the “Happiest Place on Earth,” and children and Super Bowl winning quarterbacks can’t get enough of it, we’re talking about Walt Disney World. Disney World is popular for tourists from around the world and RVers as well. Let’s look at some of the benefits of RVing to Disney and some tips and tricks for taking this trip in your rig. 

RVing to Disney World

Disney World is set in the heart of Central Florida in Lake Buena Vista, so unlike navigating through long, boring highways or National Parks, driving to Disney World is not too much of a hassle.

The key is to avoid being stuck in the traffic of Interstate 75 south. If it is possible, make your final driving day during the week, not on holidays, and during night. Electing to hit the road past rush hour can save you gas, time, and frustration. 

Where to Stay at Disney World

A crucial component of your RV trip to Disney World is choosing where to stay. We will look at the drawbacks and benefits of camping right in the park compared to staying in a nearby campground or park. 

RV Parking Inside Disney World 

If you want to pull up right to Disney World, you can choose to camp inside the Magic Kingdom. Disney provides 750 acres of campground and hundreds of spaces at their Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground. Fort Wilderness has all of the amenities you would expect from a great RV resort such as laundry facilities, full hook ups, and a myriad of other guest services. You also get many services that are unique to Disney, such as childcare facilities and shuttles to different areas of the park.

 

If you are tired of the crowds inside the major park or feel like you’ve seen everything, Fort Wilderness has its own set of recreational activities, including fishing, kayak rentals, pony rides, archery classes, and even holiday sleigh rides.

For the amount of options and attractions you get, site rates are higher than average, but fair with full hook up sites starting at $66 per night or $81 for a premium site. 

RV Parking Near Disney World

If you plan to be at Disney World for several nights, then the price might seem a little steep for you. Luckily, there are several sites available in the nearby Kissimmee or Orlando areas. These sites will have all of the amenities you need and are only a short drive to not only Disney World but Universal Studios and Legoland as well. By choosing a site outside of the resort, you will not only save on nightly rates but also be able to save money on dining, and shopping for necessities. 

Parks outside the resort tend to be less busy, so you’re better able to enjoy quiet nights after long days. It also an easier way to restock on supplies, skirt around resort traffic, and enjoy the other activities built into Central Florida. 

Other factors contribute on what kind of Disney World trip you want to take. Take care with proper planning so you can don your mouse ears without a care in the world. Heading to Disney World in a RV should be on every family's RVing bucket list.
