[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bump for any other feedback on these cabins. Not OP but we are arranging our first Disney trip and I wouldn’t have looked at a cabin theme but these offer a kitchen which would be so great for our family of 6 (2 in strollers). If we have our own car to drive to the parks, any downside to these? [/quote]

One thing about the kitchens, the stove top only has 2 burners and there is not a regular oven--it is a convection oven so you can still make a lot of things that would go in a regular oven.   If you do some google searches, you will see where bloggers have stayed in a cabin and tried making several meals, even things like pot roast, and had success.   
You will want to have groceries delivered (I've had good experiences with Garden Grocer) or use your own car to drive to a local grocery store--there are some basic groceries at the shop at the fort, but selection is pretty limited and it is very expensive.

The pools at the fort aren't as "exciting" as some other resorts pools.  They have hot tubs, and a pool slide, but there isn't much of a theme to the pool areas, compared to Coronado Springs or Polynesian.

We had our cabin in the 2800 loop, which was actually a fairly quick (maybe 10 minutes) walk to the "Outpost" depot, where you can catch the Disney buses to Animal Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and Disney Springs.   We found that to be more convenient than driving (we had a rental car.)

The bus and boat transportation to Magic Kingdom is all the way on the other side of the campground, but we still did that rather than driving.   Driving to Magic Kingdom is a PITA, imo.  You have to park at the Ticket and Transportation center, then take the monorail or a ferry boat over to the Magic Kingdom.   We did that on our check out day, since we couldn't keep our car at the cabin after checkout.   It took us an hour and a half to get in the gates of the MK!  But it would be like that driving from any Disney resort.   [/quote]

We stay offsite in Kissimmee and it only takes us 40 minutes to drive to Mk, park, take ferry/monorail, and get to the turnstiles.[/quote]

Maybe we just had bad luck, but we waited longer than 40 minutes just for the ferry.   [/quote]
