The Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort

Activities and Amenities: Fort Wilderness offers a range of activities including horseback riding, pool options, and evening entertainment like Chip & Dale Campfire Sing-Along. The Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue is highly praised for its fun and engaging experience.

We recently stayed in the cabins at Fort Wilderness and absolutely loved the experience. If you’re looking for a relaxing, nature-filled break from the parks—but still want all the Disney perks—this is it. The cabins themselves are great. Ours was in loop 2500, and I’d highly recommend it. Newly renovated, very clean, and surprisingly roomy. Our cabin (2517) was a real gem—well-shaded, super private, and backed up to a peaceful little creek with no cabins behind us. It felt like our own quiet retreat in the woods. Getting Around Pro tip: Rent a golf cart. Fort Wilderness is massive, and the cart makes getting around not just easier but way more fun. While internal buses exist, a cart gives you the freedom to explore on your own time. You’ll especially appreciate it when heading to the pools, Settlement, or boat dock. Groceries & Dining We used Walmart+ for grocery delivery, and it worked out perfectly. Bell Services handled everything, and it saved us a bundle—easily 50% or more versus buying food and drinks at Disney prices. Dining at Fort Wilderness was also better than expected. The Settlement and had some solid food options, including family-size meals like fried chicken, BBQ, and hearty sides you can take back to the cabin. Great for a relaxed night in without cooking. Recreation & Activities Pools: Plenty of options. Each loop has its own smaller pool nearby, which is great for quick dips. The larger main pool at the Meadow is kid-friendly with more energy and activity, including a waterslide. Horseback riding: A big hit—laid-back, well-run, and perfect for both new and experienced riders. Chip & Dale Campfire Sing-Along: A great evening experience. Our daughters loved meeting Chip and Dale, and the vibe is classic Disney charm with a rustic twist. Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue: Still one of the best dinner shows on property. Great food, great fun, and something every Disney fan should experience at least once. It's not cheap, but a must do if you staying at the camp grounds. Getting to the Parks Fort Wilderness does offer boat service to Magic Kingdom, which is scenic and peaceful. Just one heads-up: if you park your golf cart at the boat dock and later park hop to another park, you’ll have to take the bus back from the front of the campground to retrieve your cart. Not a deal-breaker, but worth planning around. A Few Minor Drawbacks Transportation outside Fort Wilderness can be a little sluggish. Fewer buses seem to serve this resort, and some routes are shared with Wilderness Lodge, making trips to certain parks longer. Underage golf cart drivers. Disney rules say drivers must be 18+, but enforcement is spotty. We saw kids behind the wheel. It didn’t impact us directly, but it’s something to be aware of. Bottom line: Fort Wilderness is ideal for anyone looking to unwind and still stay close to the magic. It’s a true “Disney glamping” experience—relaxed, scenic, and full of charm, with all the comforts of home and just enough pi

We camped there for spring break. What a expensive waste of money. We will stick to county /state parks. The employees at DFW need to be trained better. They should warn you about the construction and poop 💩 smell in the loops. They have a sewage issue Pools are dirty The employee who checked us in to the site, really didn’t know what she was doing, she needs more training. We didn’t get to enter water park bc the employee at Disney ft wilderness didn’t check us in properly. The golf cart we rented for$150 quit working, i called they said they will send a tech to look at it. Never showed. Waited and waited, called again and still never showed up. We just charged the battery and returned the golf cart next day. The employees didn’t seem to care. Couldn’t get a refund. Tried to dispute it and they Win. We will never rent a cart from them again mostly likely never camp there again.
