After an incredible week with our friends at Champions Run RV Resort in Ocala, Florida, we headed off to do something we have NEVER done before and something that many say is a rite of passage as an RVer: camping at Disney’s Fort Wilderness!
Thanks to our good friends, @driventoventure, we requested a site in the 1700 loop and ended up getting site 1722 on Hickory Hollow, and it was by far the best site on the road! It was huge and super private! Some of the loops and sites at Fort Wilderness are pretty tight, so be sure to look carefully when making your reservation.
Even though we were staying at a Disney park, we actually headed over to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure for the day! You guys know how much we like movies, so Universal is one of our favorite parks. We love all of the Harry Potter areas and rides, Spiderman, Kong, Transformers and we can’t forget The Fast and Furious! So many parts of these parks take us back in time to when we first got married and when the girls were little. It is the perfect place to reminisce.
One of the best parts of being at Fort Wilderness is getting to watch the fireworks show from the beach at the campground! We can’t wait to share the cool way we got to watch the Disney’s Castle Fireworks show in our next episode!
Stay tuned for next week as we share the rest of our time at Fort Wilderness and some free ways to enjoy Disney! Be sure to like and subscribe and click on the bell icon for notifications when we release new videos!

I will take a mountain view over a crowded theme park anyday.
We feel exactly the same way! But we have wonderful subscribers that work at Universal who generously gifted us tickets and it is something fun to do while we are in Florida! The mountains and the West are calling! Thanks for watching!
Cool story, 1 less in the crowd...Thanks!
love fort wilderness - drive down yearly from Ohio. favorite relaxation place - can stay and not even do the parks and still have a great time!
We made the trip from PA to Fort Wilderness last June. It was the best family trip we have ever taken. Memories for a lifetime. If you’re on the fence about doing it. I highly recommend. And if you like fishing, they do a fishing excursion from fort wilderness. We caught 3-6lb bass right in front of the Polynesian.
Thank you so much for the Park video. I loved it. My husband and I went once years ago and many times to Disney World. But at 72, we probably won’t see another one. It’s really fun to be able to watch it all on video. I really appreciate the work you put into it.
We love fort wilderness
Thank u for sharing
When we used to go to city walk drinking every weekend, we called those nap platforms lol
SHEESH!! Who knew a "theme park" video would get so many people riled up in the comments 😅 Keep doing you, appreciate your channel and videos. Thank you
Thank you so much for watching and for your support! People have strong opinions about many things. We understand that. We just ask them to also remember that we are making videos so that we can look back on this time in our lives before the girls head out to start their own lives. It will be here before we know it and we are so grateful to have these memories saved in such a special way!
@@FindingOurSomeday - Wonderfully & rightfully spoken. Chelle & I appreciate yall & all your efforts to share with us viewers all over the world. But more than that im glad you & your girls have made all of these incredible memories through this awesome choice of lifestyle! 😊💙

What an incredibly fun video and experience. My adult daughters love Harry Potter too. We actually just got back from Scotland and visiting some sites where the movies were filmed.
Good choice to going to Universal, enjoy watching. Thanks
Thank you for taking us along with you to Fort Wilderness and Universal. We’ve never been to Universal, but you make it look like so much fun we probably should look into going. Safe travels!
It is a really fun time! We suggest getting there as the gates open to get to your favorite things first and then relax and enjoy the food and fun or leave and come back for all of the night time stuff! It is incredible with all the lights! Be sure to tag us in a photo if you make it there! Thanks for watching!
It’s great to watch your family have such a good time.
Thank you so much for joining us and taking the time to comment!
One most memorable ride for us was the Aerosmith roller coaster ride. We had that in LA location but they must have it in Orlando as well.
Thanks
We call them moving sidewalks 😊 Universal is so fun! My daughter and I went for the first time in April and had a blast. One day only, but we were able to ride the ones we wanted most, my regret now is not riding the Hogwart’s Express from London to Hogsmeade, we only rode the other direction. Our favorite rides were Hagrid’s, which we went directly to first thing with our early admission and still waited a solid 50 minutes, and then Escape from Gringott’s. We also loved Diagon Alley at night. Also wish I had known about the How to Train Your Dragon light show, that would’ve been nostalgic for both my daughter and I too. So fun! Was fun seeing it again on your video.
I have to admit. Your communication and method when backing into a site/spot is fantastic. I think it would be great to have an episode sometime of how to be a great “backer” (the person giving directions at the rear). If you already did one, let me know and I’ll dig through the playlists.
Thank you so much for the compliment! We have not done a specific video on it but we will try to work that into a future video!
I drove a truck for years, and trained drivers. When my wife and I travel in our camper, I do the sight side backs, but if we have a blind side back, she drives and I direct her
Great video as always guy's, never too old to have a little fun! I don't understand why you are stuck at 68k, your videos and content are always first rate!
What a super fun place. Jurassic Park is one of my favorites....Okay, it is my favorite. My user name kinda validates that. hehe. Great video.
The Jurassic Park area is one of our favorites! Feels less like a theme park and more like you are in the movie! Same with Harry Potter! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
We love Fort Wilderness, did a trip all the way from Maine when I was 7, Plymouth wagon towing a pop up, my parents and my 2 siblings, 2 other families, it's a memory I will never lose. Stayed on Rabbit Run I think it was back in July 2008. 16 days on the road, 9 at FW. Suburban towing a 30' Starcraft TT. We'll be back someday with our new rig.
I thought the moving walkways were called "people mover", I can remember the first encounter with one of those was at the Dallas Fort Worth airport back in the mid to late 60s, it rarely worked LOL Nice tour, I need to go there maybe later this year or at the latest next year, maybe drag one of my grandkids with me.
Mid 60,s was Love Field , the Dal-Fort Worth air port was built after 1970 never heard of people movers !
I am a full time RVer and an avid theme park goer. My wife and I travel for work full time and pick our contracts based on what theme parks and rollercoasters are near by! It nice to see a theme park video on your channel! Always a nice escape from reality!
Would love to hear what your favorite theme parks and rides are! The girls have recently done their first roller coasters and we can't wait to do more! Thanks for joining us!
@@FindingOurSomeday oh boy. The list could go on and on!
The cream of the crop of theme parks is definitely a higher majority in Florida, in my opinion. It’s kind of hard to beat some of the actual theming that the parks there are able to do. I’ll send y’all an email something with some really good places to check our while on the road!
@@ds6165 well, I guess having an opinion is everyone’s right. 🤷♂️
Some people find joy in things that others don’t, and that perfectly allowed. I just hope you find joy in what you do. ✌️
On our list! Jamie is awesome on the radio wile backing in. Calm and straightforward. Love watching you guys!
Thank you! Jess is a great partner and always gets me back into the site well! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
People movers. The walks are called people movers!
A few yrs ago we took our kids to Universal and I would say the train station was incredible!!!
I believe those walkway things are just called "people movers".
So cool! We had no idea! Thanks for sharing!
They're called moving walkways here in North Texas. Can't say what they're called elsewhere.
Love that you stayed at Fort Wilderness and went to Universal.
Best campground ever ☺️☺️☺️ we stay there a lot ....enjoy ...
We had the best time and can’t wait to share more from there next Sunday! Thanks for watching!
Amazing video. We went to Universal & Disney in December 2021. I almost lost my lunch on the Forbidden Journey ride... lol
The walkways are called people movers!
So glad we know now!!!😉
Moving walkway, powered walkway are other terms but People Mover is a copyright protected title of a transport in Detroit.
@@Mick.Porter Um, probably a patented process with a trademarked name, similar in concept to copyright (protection of intellectual properties), but different sets of laws apply to all three (patent, trademark, copyright). Not trying to be "vocabulary police", BTW, just sharing with others the benefits I gained from a semester college course in copyright law.
Travelator is another term for them.
I live near Doncaster and Hull. ‘ King’s Cross station 😂
So glad y'all are enjoying your stay in Florida! Yeah, it is kinda funny, of staying on a Disney property and then going to Universal! Love it! Universal looks like so much fun, on our list for when the grandson gets a wee bit older..Have fun, be safe!
Great video. Thank you for taking us with you
Thank YOU for joining us! Glad you liked it!
You were about 2 hrs east of us. Wish i could see you. Hugs ...enjoy. Cool but exhausting, i expect.
Never been to any of the Disney parks and I have no desire to go. Don't know anything about Harry Potter either.
Been to Silver Dollar City in Branson Mo. It was like stepping back into time, back to the 1800's. With all the woodworking, metalworks, candies and bakeries. That's more my speed.
Although I do like movies, Silver Dollar City seems more my speed as well, going to look it up, thanks!
Hey guys in the future if you are going to Universal there is a nice city park that has full hookups 10 minutes north of the Universal, Bill Frederick park at Turkey Lake and its a big spot for frisbee golf and they do have a pool but it hasn't been open for awhile due to staffing. I love Fort Wilderness but the price per night for the closer park is remarkable and there's a lot to do in the surrounding area.
Welcome to Orlando guys, so very happy to have you all with us !!
It is always a fun stop through on our way into and out of Florida! Thanks for watching!
G'day guys.this looks like so much fun
Great video loved it! I’m almost 67 years old but when my daughter was young we read every single Harry Potter book together and saw every movie it’s still an awesome memory I would love to experience Harry Potter world with her at Universal ❤ love what you do with your girls❤️
Love that you got to have those memories together and we hope that you guys get to make it Universal. It really does feel like you are in the movie! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!
Your videos are very professional. Great job as always.
I love seeing you guys enjoying yourselves. ❤
Thank you so much for joining us tonight!
Fort wilderness is a destination in it self. I can’t go on any off the rides now but I did go on spiderman ride years ago and had the worst migraine I ve ever had the whole aura and sickness that goes with it.
My grown kids and 9 grands love it which I never thought would happen since we live in Florida.?😊 have a great trip and lily is right “thems fighting words”!!!😮
SO sorry to hear that the ride gave you a migraine! That is the worst! And you are so right, the park is a destination and there is no reason to have to actually go into the parks! We share in our next episode some fun stuff to do while staying at the campground and not having to go into the parks at all! Thanks for watching!
Wow, what a great adventure. A fun travel stop, for sure.
We had a wonderful time! Can't wait to share more next Sunday! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
Love the videos! Was looking for 1 that details all of your camera equipment used on your channel, but don’t see one. Do you have a post or something that details this info? The quality is outstanding.
There isn’t one yet , I’ll be including a segment about this in a video in the next couple weeks😃
I was so happy to see you in the locker area outside of Escape of Gringotts. I know it was a chaotic place to say hello to you, but it made my day! We talked about it the rest of the trip! I love watching your videos!
So glad you guys said hi! We are always so sad when people write to us and tell us that they saw us but didn't say hello! Hope you enjoyed the rest of your day at Universal! Thanks so much for watching and being part of our journey!
@@FindingOurSomeday Thank you! We had a great time! We spent 3 days there which was a little too much, but we hadn't been there in 17 years so we didn't know. The kids had a great time and we got to ride things multiple times! They rode all the roller coasters at least 3 times some more!
You guys just gel so well together.
Are the escalator things called people movers?
I think they are! I guess it is actually a Trademarked term! Who knew! Thanks for letting us know!
Man I missed you all I work there in universal in the bathroom between the SpongeBob store and ET ride. If any of have not been you got to come. I agree the train is the best and yes hagrids is worth the wait hopefully I catch you all next time glad you had fun
We would always go on days when it wasn't hot, and off days because there's less people. Go in the morning, have lunch on the property some where, and walk off lunch. Leave the property, have dinner, and then return to the property for evening fun.
Perfect plan! We love the early morning with less people and the night time exploring with all the lights! Thanks for watching!
As being from the south. It's mon back 😊
We love all the Hogwarts things at Universal. Big Harry Potter fans here too. So much so, that my son has asked that his senior trip be to Universal again! We wanted to stay at Fort Wilderness but to save on expenses, we found a nice city park for $20 a night! Water and electric only. We figured we could use the dump site as necessary for the savings. Many things to do in the area. Thank you for another great video.
It's so nice when you score a great campsite. Enjoyed watching you guys have fun.🙂🇨🇦❤👍
It really is! We really liked this on! Only stayed for 3 nights but plenty of time to get the experience! Thanks for watching!
I’m a huge Harry Potter fan. I can’t wait to visit. Thanks for sharing. 😃❤️
You are going to absolutely love it! Get their early and go straight to Diagon Ally! So cool to see it with less people!
People movers!!
What day of the week did yall go? It doesn't seem overcrowded at all, and my family and I are long over due to go!
Nice site, but I think I would prefer a state park. Would definately need good friends to encourage me to what to be a Fort Wilderness.
How funny, HP is on TV right now. Wait HP is always on TV.
HP marathons are the best!🙌
At 4:40 what were the lights? BTW nice spotting Jessie, you weren't bad either Corey .
I decided to clue the neighbors in on the fact that I’m crazy so I ran around our RV at night with a red headlamp and the IPhone flashlight 🤪🫣 I’m not the worst backer upper but a second set of eyes and a camera sure do make things better 😃 team work makes the dream work 💪
@@FindingOurSomeday Crazy? Not you...😵💫😵💫😵💫
I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one wondering what the lights were!! 😂 great video as always guys! Don't let people in the comments bring you down! You're doing a great thing with your family! You do you and let them stay in their bubble. It's better outside!
❤❤❤❤
Great video, guys. Just like all your videos. Looked like so much fun.
Thank you so much for watching! We are so glad you enjoyed it! Looking forward to sharing more in next week's video!
STAY SAFE CARRY ON HAPPY ADVENTURING
Thank you! 🙏
We just spent six days there. Awesome camp ground/resort. Went to Disney and Universal
Louie is currently reading the books and wants to go to HP so badly!
Great video!
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
Universal is my fave ❤ You all had a great time!
It is ours as well! Such a fun place to visit!
We loved Fort Wilderness❤ what loop number was Hickory hollow? Last time we were there the loop we stayed on was a little tighter than what yours was ....so just was curious to know for future 😊
This was site 1722 in the 1700 loop and it was great! Thanks so much for watching!
I was just in Universal at the beginning of March for a sales meeting, I should have had my Nomad Near Me on!
I’m sad we missed you but happy that this wasn’t the same time! This was the end of March!
@@FindingOurSomeday one of these days!
Universal is always my favorite. Want to go back soon. But need more money.
We really love it and are very grateful for our FOS Crew members who work for Universal and are able to gift us tickets. Thank you for watching!
We’re going to be at FW in June (3 week trip from Southern California)! Can you share which site number you were in?
I think they are called moving sidewalks
Frozen butter beer is the best.
Delicious and even better to enjoy when standing in line for the Hagrid's ride!
When you return to Universal to do it at night, I think you must get on the train at dusk so you arrive in Hogsmeade in the dark, just like the "real" train
I’m camping right now in the yard
Sounds fun to me! We happen to be at Fort Wilderness in this video but have spent some serious quality time in some front yards!
We are travelling to the US from Australia in June and are going to Universal to specifically see Harry Potter world. Thank you for sharing your experience and tips. Very much appreciated ❤
Hope you have the very best time! Can't wait for you to see Harry Potter! Thank you so much for watching!
We save up now and try to make the Fort an annual visit. Especially when they offer discounts. What was the site number? We like to have several sure numbers ready to ask when we check in. It helps to have a higher chance of getting one that you like.
We were in site 1722 in 1700 loop on Hickory Hollow. Great site! You can actually fax them a site request a week before you arrive and that helps! Too funny that they still do it by fax!
I guess I'm not an RVer yet... :- )
It only took us over 5 years and we only stayed for 3 nights!😉
Not for me. I've been to Busch Gardens with all the live animals and shows but Universal & Disney are just too manufactured. National Parks and the open lands of the west is where I'm going after another go of the U.P. of Michigan to see things I missed.
We will take National Parks and out West over these parks any day, but since we are in Florida and love movies so much, Universal is really fun! We have wonderful subscribers who work there and get us tickets which is so kind. We missed a lot of the UP the last time we were up there and need to get back to do the same! Hope you have a great time!
Love, how to train your dragon!😊
We do, too! Brings back such sweet memories!
Outstanding! We did Disney (stayed at Ft Wilderness) and Universal last summer. It’s by far one of my favs because I was able to bring all my kids, make some special memories and my wife turned 50, in Magic Kingdom during Disney World’s 50th anniversary. Im completely unfamiliar with Harry Potter but love going through “Potter Land. Glad you all had a great time!
What a great video! It looked like soo much fun! Can you please give me some insight to how you plan out your rides. I think I saw you using an app but, is it like Disney that you have to book your rides ahead of time? We are BIG Harry Potter fans and our daughter is getting old enough and tall enough to finally be able to go on more rides. Even she is a big Harry Potter fan (8)!
Not weird at all, we did the same thing last year.
We had a great time in the campground and in Universal! Excited to share more of our time at the Fort next week!
Did I miss Velocicoaster?!?
I USED TO WORK AT HEARST CASTLE ON THE CENTRAL COAST OF CALIF. THE CREATORS OF HARRY POTTER CAME AND STAYED FOR WEEKS STUDYING THE CASTLE AND HEARST CASTLE DINING WAS WHAT THE CREATORS COPIED FOR HOGSWORT
That is so awesome! We drove by Hearst but didn't have a chance to stop and tour it! Hopefully SOMEDAY! Thanks for watching!
What may I ask do you use for internet? We were going to get nomad , but we hear they have issues. Star link is too expensive
Up until a couple weeks ago when we filmed this we only used our AT&T plans with hot spots(about 120 gig between our 4 phones) . Now we just added TMobile unlimited for $50 . Like I said it’s only been a couple weeks but so far we like it.
How much data do you get, is it unlimited?
@@Tamingthewildblueberries yes unlimited 😎
What’s the cost For a week there? Ft wilderness
We went when Harry Potter first opened years ago & did all the stuff & rode the train. We opened the parks & closed them & I remember, vividly, the walk back to the car. I thought we’d never get there & my legs would fall off
We are major Potter fans and we just couldn't get over how much bigger US-Orlando is from US-Hollywood. Definitely on our list. Thanks for sharing!
Moving sidewalks.
Thanks so much!
When will y'all get back to real traveling & exploring?
Your videos of State & Natl parks have so much more to offer.
We’re definitely excited for summer !!!
We'll be there soon, can't wait. First timers at the Fort!! Safe travels y'all
Hope you guys have the best time!
Moving sidewalks
F
Did you guys say you were getting a new truck this year?
People Movers!
Such a funny name! Thank you for sharing!
People movers
Definitely Universal. I am done with Disney. I have done it twice with one being New Years Eve. The second time we bought passes for but I will say everyone liked Universal better. I think they are just called A moving walkway, Autowalk, moving pavement, moving sidewalk, people-mover, Travolator, or travelator.
I don't know why I think this, but your younger daughter reminds me a lot of Nelly Korda
My kids are currently scared of everything stressful 😂 soooo we aren't ready for universal yet. But we do hope to visit. We do not support Disney. Sea world will be a trip asap! I think their about ready for that!
Places like that can definitely cause some anxiety. We didn't go until the girls were 14 and 16 and though big crowds are not their favorite, they are old enough to appreciate the rides and the details from some of our favorite movies! Universal is a blast! But only for one day. I don't know how people go for days in a row! That would be super stressful!
@@FindingOurSomeday definitely! We enjoy adventures more than crowds for sure. So it wouldn't be a regular thing for sure. I'm so glad you guys are enjoying so much of Florida! Have so much fun!
What was your site number?
This was site 1722 in 1700 loop and we loved it!
we have been wanting to camp at the Fort Wilderness. i want to wait till we get a little bigger camper.
We really enjoyed our time there and can't wait to share more in next week's episode. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
Right of passage? Really???? Maybe for RV RUclipsrs who can afford to stay.
I feel you on that! we only stayed 3 nights in the cheapest site we could find!
People mover
Just wondering . Have you guys ever thought of getting a fifth wheel?
We have thought about it.
