Adam and Lauren Ewing, along with their two children aged 10 and 12, spend 60% to 70% of the year living in a luxury motorhome parked at Fort Wilderness Resort campground in Disney World, Orlando, Florida. Previously, they lived in a 10,000 sq ft house near Athens, Georgia. After the Covid-19 pandemic, they bought a motorhome and began traveling, eventually making Disney World their primary base. Parking fees vary by season, reaching up to $300 per night during spring break, totaling over $8,000 for a 26-day stay. The resort enforces a 26-consecutive-day limit, after which guests must leave for 24 hours before returning.
