    I am bringing two tents and have requested the larger tent sites if possible. I need to know if they will fit on the gravel. I have a 12x16 and a 9x9 tent. Can i do this without being on the concrete?

    Welcome back to planDisney, Terry! I'm so glad to hear you are planning another visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth

    I am a huge fan of The Campsites at Disney's Fort Wilderness! My family has made many wonderful memories there over the years. The amenities are some of the best in all of Walt Disney World! A standard campsite has a 10-by-25-foot concrete pad for your vehicle and equipment. Your tents can be set up in the adjacent area, often referred to as a sandy tent pad, but it is actually coquina. This space at most sites is approximately 14 feet wide, but the length varies greatly, depending on the site. My advice is to call Walt Disney World Tickets and Hotel Reservations and have a Cast Member note the dimensions of your tents on your reservation.  

    Since you'll be visiting during spooky season, I suggest you consider a night at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. This is a special ticketed event that includes exclusive entertainment, attraction overlays, and trick-or-treating! You'll have the opportunity to meet rare characters or old favorites in their Halloween costumes. My favorite experience of the night is Mickey's Boo-to-You Parade, where the Headless Horseman leads the way! Your party ticket allows you entrance to Magic Kingdom Park at 4 pm, so I like to sleep in, enjoy a slower morning at the Meadow Swimmin' Pool, and then head to the party in the afternoon. Since it is a limited-access event, you can typically enjoy lower wait times.

    Terry, that magical vacation will be here before you know it, so it's time to start getting excited! If there's anything else we can help with, please don't hesitate to ask!
