In Brief

The Ewing family has been living in an RV at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground in Florida for six years, spending most of the year there and turning a vacation spot into a permanent home.

Adam and Lauren Ewing, along with their two children, have been living in an RV at Disney World for six years. They spend 60% to 70% of the year at the Fort Wilderness Resort campground in Orlando, Florida. Previously, the family lived in a house of about 930 square meters in Georgia. After the Covid-19 pandemic, they bought an RV and started traveling, eventually making Disney World their primary base.

Parking fees vary: during peak season, it costs $300 per night, and for 26 days, it exceeds $8,000. According to resort rules, after 26 days of stay, they must leave the premises for 24 hours, which the family uses for trips to other states.
