    How loaded is this woman?

      I’ve got to wonder if it’s cheaper, long term, than paying groceries/utilities/property taxes, etc. It seems like she’s alone in life, so what’s the harm of she can afford it? Personally I could live without so much as a snuggle from a pet or a hug from another person. But she’s not really hurting anyone. I mean, except maybe a pissed off Karen who had to book her stay a few days later during busy months.
      Idk, I say leave her be.

    Seems odd since I’ve stayed as long as 31 days at fort wilderness and needed an extra reservation for the 1 day since their max stay is 30 days on 1 reservation. Didn’t know it was possible to live there but, for me that would be a No Go. Having stayed up to 6 times in one year with average 3-4 weeks per stay was more than enough.

    I am sure I read somewhere on the Disney website that you could not live at Disney.

    1. Disney should nominate her tp the Guniess Book of Records 20+ years at same campsite at WDW Wilderness (Lodge)/Frontier.
    2. Is this listed as her perminent address (for tax, voting purposes, etc), or does she have another perminent home (in Florida or another state).
    3. I hope she has a Florida annual pass.
    4. Thank WDW Wilderness Lodge for linking her monthly reservations, and not requiring her to move!
    5. Very interesting article. Disney+ please do a 30min show about her. She must have some stories to tell!

      For voting she could have a vtrauil mail box or po box.

    I really enjoyed staying at Fort Wilderness Campground one weekend as a Girl Scout until my Council decided later when I joined the Gold and Silver Awards Committee that Fort Wilderness was not really primitive enough for us to camp at to develop our camping skills for our merit badges. If this lady enjoyed living there for that long then I think she should consider becoming an honorary Girl Scout and maybe even become a Leader.
    The Girl Scouts could use someone like her to help teach basic camping skills since she must have lived in a tent during this long period. Florida is not for the weak or scared since so many poisonous snakes, alligators, and other wildlife can be found in Orlando and all over the State. She should write and publish a book about her experiences.
    This is one book I would enjoy reading!

    I would definitely stay. I love it there in Orlando. But I don’t have the mouse’s money.

    I’m doubting she has lived in a tent this whole time as she probably hasn’t wanted to brave the elements during hurricane season over the last couple of decades and there have been a few that have gone thru the Orlando area. Plus I’m thinking she has a laptop with wifi for communication and making those reservations. Also for her business of being a reservation is. She has to make money some how to pay for her own reservations.
    With all that said…I say let her stay as long as she wants, as long as she continues to pay like everyone else. With affordable housing being as bad as it is, she just found a way to survive and still is basically paying rent in an unconventional way.
    Also people have been known to go stay at resorts for months, years even to write a book.
    Let her and more power to her. Only thing is, DeSantos will probably create some kind of ordinance or law that says she can’t stay there anymore just to strike at DisneyWorld.
    Have a great day.🙂
