FROG FAMILY REVIEW
The Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort*
What we love
- Being up close with nature, away from the hustle and bustle of it all
- It's one of the most affordable ways to stay on-site at the Walt Disney World® Resort
- Being a boat ride away from Magic Kingdom® Park; also from Disney's Contemporary Resort and Disney's Wilderness Lodge
- Aspiring archers can channel their inner Merida with lessons on-site
- The little ones will love miniature pony rides at the Tri-Circle-D Ranch
- You can get take out from the Trail's End restaurant
- Meeting Chip and Dale (for free!) at the Campfire Sing-A-Long
- Horse-drawn wagon and carriage rides, plus kayak and canoe rentals!
- Free parking!
Keep in Mind
- Cabins, which are in loops 2011-2800, are further away from the main Meadow pool, although they have their own quiet pool
- The resort is very large; uses internal buses to transport guests
- While the camping and wilderness theme appeals to children, the resort is not overtly "Disney" themed
- Buses make multiple pickups/dropoffs, and they can get crowded
Notable Facts
- At Christmas time each year, regulars return string lights and decorations from their campsites
- The resort opened in 1971, a month after the opening of the Walt Disney World® Resort
- Fort Wilderness includes a primitive campsite area used by scout troops, schools, and other campers called Creekside Meadow
- The resort was originally home to a steam-powered railway, which provided transportation around the resort and the nearby River Country water park; it was dismantled in the 1980s
Frog Family Tips
- Arrive early for the Campfire Sing-A-Long to meet Chip and Dale
- Factor in extra time to the theme park if you are taking the buses, as you'll likely be making multiple stops at the resort before you transfer
- Bring your own bikes and golf carts; Disney also rents them
Best For
- Families, especially larger families, who like the outdoors and want a less expensive alternative to a hotel but want the benefits of free Disney transportation and Extra Magic Hours.

EXCLUSIVE THEME PARK BENEFITS:
Planning to visit a theme park? To enter a park, both a park reservation and valid theme park ticket, for the same park on the same date, are required for Guests ages 3 and up. Keep in mind: a hotel reservation does not guarantee theme park access (though Disney Hotel Guests do have access to a separate pool), and you’ll need a Disney account to make a separate theme park reservation. Prior to booking, be sure to view theme park reservation availability as park reservations are limited in availability and not guaranteed. You can check the reservation availability here.
The Meadow Pool aquatic play area is currently closed for refurbishment. Meadow Swimmin' Pool, Wilderness Swimmin' Pool and its nearby whirlpool spa will remain open for your enjoyment.
You may see and hear construction noise while this refurbishment is underway, but you should not hear noise from Guest rooms between dusk and 9:00 AM.
EXCLUSIVE THEME PARK BENEFITS:
- Early Theme Park Entry for Resort Hotel Guests - guests of Disney Resort hotels and other select hotels can get a 30-minute jump on their Disney day with early theme park entry—available at all 4 Walt Disney World theme parks—for each day of your stay, subject to capacity
