I was disappointed, thinking Disney would get it right. The water bib on my sight leaked like a sieve from the knob. Mosquitos are a major issue after dark, in fact at check in we we given wipes, but I guess spraying each evening is something they had not thought of. Without a golf cart travel internal to Ft. Wildnerness was a long walk, one mile for us to either the boat or bus. There is little to none car parking in the campground outside of your site.
Upon check in we were told the main route through the park was closed because they had had a water line break. As we walked around we found where the road was blocked and a pump was set up and running. In the nine days we stayed in the campground never did we see anyone working to repair the issue and open the road. I felt for sure Disney would have had it back to normal in a day or two at the most.

Again, another 5 star review, this time from a "3 weeker".
If you're looking for a place to stay for a more reasonable price at the Dis "money machine" you can't go wrong bringing your own lodging to Ft Wilderness. In fact, many off premise area rv resorts cost just about as much for less amenities.
Disney is such a professional and well oiled machine that when our power failed for 6 hours, instead of thinking it an inconvenience, I was entertained that they had experienced an "imperfection" (in fact they left a personalized note at every site, that they were aware of the problem and we're working on it, but don't expect any complimentary compensation 'though, lol)
Disney Ft Wilderness is the gold standard in rv parks
Had friends staying in their cabins and they are 5 star as well

Spent 2 weeks at the Ft. always love it. Plenty to do or not to do. Your choice. Highly recommend.

It's Disney World - so everything was top notch.
First rate bathrooms, showers, boat rides to the conference center, and to the "Kingdoms", great bus connections everywhere in the park, and the mono-rail is still maintained and runs on time!
We were there for a week total between a conference and three days of play. What a hoot!!!
Expensive? It's Disney World - so everything was expensive. Worth it, yes, it was

This is a large and well-maintained campground with lots of amenities and activities for the whole family. There is boat service to the Magic Kingdom, which is just a short ride across the lake, and bus service to all of the other parks, resorts, and Downtown Disney. The staff was very helpful and courteous. The only problems that we encountered were:
despite giving The length of our trailer during the booking process we were given a site that was much too short. However, they immediately moved us to another site that had plenty of room;
We had a number of problems with the breaker that we had not encountered before. If we ran the AC (which we had to for summer in Florida) in combination with the hot water heater (showers, also a necessity for Florida summers) or the microwave, we would trip the breaker. At one point I found that my camper plug was so hot that the plastic had started to melt. We ended up having to turn off the air whenever cooking or cleaning to avoid the problem.
With the exception of these minor inconveniences, we had an excellent time staying at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and will certainly be going back.

Clean, private, paved and shaded. ... simply awesome! Once parked, you never drive again. It doesn't get much better than Disney.

Always an excellent place to stay! Sites and facilities are clean. Easy access to all of Disney's attractions by boat or bus. Food is excellent at the Trails End Restaurant. Two camp stores are pricey, so stock up before you arrive on any amenities.
