    My wife and I will be on a 5 night Disney Destiny Cruise at the end of November. We have a Fort Wilderness campsite booked for several days before and after our cruise. Would we be able leave our motorhome in the FW Overflow Lot while we are on the cruise?

    Hi there, Maurice! Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney with your question.

    I’m so excited for you and your wife...what a fantastic vacation you have planned! A Disney Destiny Cruise sandwiched between two stays at Fort Wilderness? That’s the dream combo of land and sea in my book!

    I checked with a couple of Cast Members just to be sure, and here’s what I learned: While Fort Wilderness doesn’t officially offer storage in the overflow parking area, they sometimes allow guests to leave a motorhome or trailer there during a cruise if they have a reservation at the campground both before and after their sailing. It’s not guaranteed, but it is possible with management approval. I suggest speaking with the Front Desk Manager during your first check-in, since only they can approve the request. If they’re able to accommodate you, you’ll just need to sign a waiver, and they’ll let Security know your motorhome will be there during your cruise.

    And since you’ll be there in late November, you’re in for a treat! Fort Wilderness becomes pure holiday magic around that time. Guests go all out with their decorations. You'll see lights, inflatables, Disney-themed displays, and more! It’s become a bit of a tradition for campers to rent golf carts and cruise through the loops to admire everyone’s festive setups. I highly recommend booking a golf cart in advance, as they can go fast during the holiday season.

    I hope this helps with your planning, Maurice. Wishing you and your wife an unforgettable adventure...both on land and at sea!
