Firsts

This is my first time posting, first time driving not flying to Disney, first time camping at Disney, and first time going to Universal. My DH and I are driving from Iowa to Disney mid Oct 2010 staying for nine nights, ten days. We want to go to see the new Harry Potter attaction at Universal one day and the rest at Disney. I am a little nervous but what an adventure. If anyone has any tips for tent camping at FW I am all ears (get it - ears ) Also I was wondering what your favorite seafood restaurant was at Disney.

Welcome to the boards!

What a great list of firsts you've got there. My favourite seafood restaurant? Probably the Flying Fish Cafe.

Welcome to the boards Disneyfreak16! Sounds like a great adventure you have planned. I can't wait for the new Harry Potter area of IOA at Universal either as well as the new Rockit Coaster too.

As far as seafood goes, you can't go wrong with Flying Fish Cafe and Fulton's in Downtown Disney is quite too, but to me it seems a bit pricier than FF.

Been to Cape May Cafe for the charachter buffet breakfast, which was good and entertaining, but not for the Clam Bake. I've heard it's very good.

i have tent camped at Disney. The camp sites are wonderful and flat. They look like sand but seem to really be fine ground shells. Make sure you know how to stake a tent in sand. There are trees around most of the sites so there is some shade. it was one of the best campsites we been in.
I took 40 Missouri GS to Disney. Things they learned--the leaders were right when they said don't put things against the walls of the tent, it will cause the tent to leak. Stake the tent well because the wind does blow during the rains. Baby armadillos are cute and look alittle like a bunny but when they are sniffing around the base of your tent they sound like huge fearsome beasts!

Hi and welcome!
You might try looking for information about FW here:
Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground Reviews and Ratings

Probably my favorite seafood place is Captn Jacks:
Cap'n Jack's Restaurant, Downtown Disney - Menu

But a lot of restaurants have really good seafood, no matter what their main cuisine is.
