Disney officials have announced the campground will undergo the largest set of improvements in the last two decades. The upgrades include cable-TV and Internet service, adding extra-large camper pads for recreational vehicles, Segway scooter tours, a mini-water park, a dog park and an improved electric-cart rental operation.
