I honestly wouldn't want to be there for 2 weeks, you can do the parks in 3 days tops.

you can not do everything in the parks in 3 days

lol - was just there a few weeks for Christmas (annual pass, campground, far cheaper than it sounds) and didn’t get to everything

How was camping there? Tent, Trailer, Cabin?

As a campground? A bit cramped. Though far better maintained than most we go to. So it’s a trade off. Renting or bringing your own golf cart is almost a requirement - the campground is larger than magic kingdom. They have cabins too but they are the price and quality of a resort room but with a bunk bed.
Boat transport to magic kingdom, buses internally in the campground and to all the parks.
Can see the MK fireworks each night from the beach, and you can hear them throughout the campground.
Christmas time lots of people decorate, I hear but haven’t experienced Halloween is even bigger.
You get the same mix of jerks and nice people as you do anywhere else in Disney… but unlike resorts where you don’t see them after you close your door you may have windows looking right into their campsite.
Lots more dogs, usually well behaved or more than kids at least. Only had 1 dog neighbor for a little bit that barked. The rest were fine.
I do like sleeping in my own bed though, and having my own kitchen for most meals. That’s probably where we saved the most money not having to eat out constantly. Though there’s a quick service place on property that has decent fried chicken and corn bread.

Ah, so you brought your own camper. We have looked at it in the past, but since we don't have a camper the cost to rent is the same as just getting a room; and I'm not tenting in Disney!

I tent camped growing up, I don’t tent camp now. Haha
But yeah we have our own RV, we are from DFW but enjoy the traveling.
Knowing RVs I’m almost fearful of a rented one to be honest…

I tent camp and love it, but all the things that make tenting great and relaxing are also the things that make me not think it would be a fit for disney

It’s worth trying probably - the sites are far more private than you’d be used to in a normal camp ground but not near as private as proper primitive camping. If you’re local or in the area worth the experience
