FROG FAMILY REVIEW
The Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort – A Disney Vacation Club 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
- 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 takeout 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
- While the camping and wilderness theme appeals to children, the resort is not overtly "Disney" themed
- The resort is very large and uses internal buses to transport guests
- Buses make multiple pickups/dropoffs, and they can get crowded
Notable Facts
- At Christmas time each year, the campsites glow extra bright as regulars return with string lights and decorations
- This new Disney Vacation Club Resort opened in September 2024
- The Fort Wilderness Campgrounds 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, want a less expensive alternative to a hotel and still want the great benefits that come along with staying at an official Disney Resort property.

General Walt Disney World® Resort Benefits

The Frog Family absolutely loves staying on-site not just for the fun themes and Disney atmosphere of the hotels, but also for the convenient amenities. Some of the other complimentary benefits include:
- Convenient Proximity - You can easily go back to your hotel from the parks if you need a break or want to relax at the pool. It's just as easy to head back to the parks after relaxing at your hotel for a couple of hours.
- Free Park Transportation - Overnight self-parking at the hotel is free and depending on which Official Walt Disney World® Hotel you stay at, you'll have access to the Disney Skyliner, monorails, water launch and/or bus transportation. Many of the Official Walt Disney World® Hotels are also within walking distance to the parks and other resorts.
- Early Access to Dining Reservations - Disney Resort guests can make Advance Dining Reservations (ADRs) for their entire vacation 60 days in advance, giving them the earliest access to the most popular restaurants such as Cinderella's Royal Table and Be Our Guest.
- Free Wi-Fi - When staying on-site, you'll have access to complimentary wi-fi, available in your room and select public areas, such as the pools, arcades, restaurants and more.
- Recreation and Fitness Activities - Disney Resort hotels offer a variety of wellness activities through Disney Family Wellness. Some favorites include dancing to Disney songs, family fun walks and, yes, even pickleball!
- Travel Light with MagicBands - Guests of Official Walt Disney World® Hotels have the option to purchase a MagicBand+ at a special discount before they arrive for their stay, allowing them to be an interactive part of the magic.
