Property Amenities
Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground is nestled amid towering pine trees and native vegetation within the Walt Disney World® Resort, just two miles from Magic Kingdom® Park. Guests check in at the rustic Reception Outpost, which has a stone fireplace, wood-beamed ceiling, and rocking chairs. The large resort borders Bay Lake, and log cabins and paved campsites are situated throughout the woods, connected via a series of roads. The property is extensive enough that it offers its own on-site transportation system: along with bicycles, guests can rent motorized golf cart–like vehicles to get around the grounds.
In addition, complimentary transportation (via motorcoach and water launch) zips guests throughout the campgrounds and to all Walt Disney World® Theme Parks, water parks, and the Downtown Disney® area. Campsites are available with full (electric, water, and sewage) or partial hookups (electric and water). Air-conditioned comfort stations with restrooms and private showers are located near all campsites. There are also laundry facilities on site.
The resort offers lots of recreational activities. A white-sand beach on Bay Lake isn't far from the marina with boat rentals. Over at the Tri-Circle-D Ranch, a blacksmith prepares horses for the daily trail rides while kids enjoy the petting farm. Pony, hay wagon, and carriage rides are available. And located throughout the resort are fishing spots, tennis courts, jogging trails, two pools, a game arcade, and volleyball, shuffleboard, and tetherball courts. Several dining options include musical shows and meals with Disney Characters. Poolside dining is available in season, and a country store with camp-related groceries is on site.

“loved our resort”
Our cabin was very efficient. Our maid service was fantastic. We had the best time of our lives.
“Great lodging (I miss it and can't wait to bring the family there again”
Traveling with a young family. 4yr and almost 2. This place was perfect. It had a kitchen on site which we weren't sure if we would use a whole bunch but definitely took advantage 100% of the time. The room was much better than I anticipated (Clean, well decorated) 100% Disney personal touch. Have fun if you are going though (Worth every penny) fyi: We rented a car which was a convenient bonus getting around to the parks. Otherwise getting to the Magic Kingdom takes 20-30 minutes (but a fun trip on the boats)
“Beware over the Holidays!!”
OK, first, let me make it perfectly clear that this was a wonderful lodging, with clean, large cabins and lots of towels!! However, front desk staff was stretched to the limit, due to the number of people who were there the week after Easter -- therefore, instructions on how to catch transport to the Disney theme parks were very hard to understand -- took us 2 days to figure it out! I highly recommend this for families; not so much as a romantic getaway. On Disney grounds -- need I say more?
“Cabins”
Disneys fort wilderness cabins are unmatched for families with small children. The space and large kitchen are a must!
“Nice and Private”
In addition to normal hotel service the cabins provide a higher sense of privacy
“Looking forward to our return”
The location was near perfect: the ability to walk out the door & be outside, to use the grill & the full kitchen were all major factors in deciding where to stay. It is important to mention that they really are double beds, not queens. That means if you are tall, you may want to reconsider. The second night of 6 we did move the double bed up against the bunk beds to provide more room, and as a safety factor for our 2 year old in the lower bunk, and that helped. I was really surprised to see that even under the beds the floor was perfectly clean. Another thing to note is that there really is a lack of storage space for your clothes in the bedroom. My husband and I kept our clothes in the common area cabinets. The grocery stores near WDW know that you are a tourist and have marked their prices accordingly. Of course their prices are greatly reduced from those on property, but be prepared to pay significantly more than you would at home. We loved staying on property and in the cabins. The buses were quick to come and convenient. We loved walking the grounds and getting to know our neighbors. We went to the Chip and Dale review and on the hay ride, all fantastic. We would not hesitate to stay there again; the pluses far outweigh any negatives.
“Great Disney Stay for larger family”
Our stay in the Ft Wilderness cabins was terrific. We had 4 adults and 2 small children in one cabin and were comfortable. We dediced not to rent a golf cart but did call a week prior to request a cabin near a bus stop, which they easily accomidated. Once we figured out the bus routes, it was easy to get around the resort. We had groceries delivered. It was great to make a few meals and have drinks to take into the parks - a big money saver. The cabin and entire resort was clean and staff was very helpful. So many activities to do at the resort itself - most we didn't even have time for! Would definitely recommend the cabins to anyone - especially if you don't want to do the disney meal plan but still want to maintain a lower budget. Having a full kitchen to be able to bring in drinks and snacks to the parks is a huge money saver!
“Second time there and want to go back,”
This hotel is a wonderful place to stay while enjoying Disney World. The layout is for adult couples or families of four to six members staying together in the same quarters more private than regular rooms.
“great place for a family”
Great place for a family ...bring your food and dont forget the dish soap
“Great place to relax”
Excellent place to relax and enjoy the beauty of Florida. If you like to be pamper by Disney and you have a big family, this is the right place for you.
