Summary

We’re recapping a wild Walt Disney World weekend that included car camping at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, trying out Lightning Lane Multi Pass over two full park days, eating our way around property, and finally getting to experience newly reopened attractions like Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, Smuggler's Run, Big Thunder Mountain, Space Ranger Spin, and Soarin. We’ll talk about the realities of Disney car camping, including setup, comfort, requesting the perfect campsite near the comfort station, nighttime campground vibes, and whether we’d actually do it again. Along the way, we packed in a ton of attractions across Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Hollywood Studios, including Tower of Terror, Toy Story Mania, TRON, Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, and more. Of course, there’s also plenty of food discussion, including breakfast at Steakhouse 71, drinks and snacks at The Beak and Barrel, flatbreads at Baseline Tap House, dinner at Trail’s End Restaurant, and an impromptu brunch stop at Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ before heading home. We’ll break down what worked, what didn’t, and whether this entire Disney weekend adventure was truly worth it. Watch our car camping "room" tour here: https://youtu.be/7_W6BcWTMog
