Resort Showcase – The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort
The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness offer guests the tranquility of a rustic log cabin, with all the amenities and accessibility of a Magic Kingdom resort.
Originally opened in 1971, Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground is a vacation experience unlike any other that you’ll find on Walt Disney World property.
Tucked away among the pine trees, this Moderate resort is a stone’s throw from Wilderness Lodge and Bay Lake. It’s made up of more than 400 log cabins, and just over 800 campsites across 750 lush, wooded acres.
Guests at Fort Wilderness can bask in the tranquility of the woods, with most of the same amenities of any other Magic Kingdom resort. In fact, there are seemingly even more activities to suit the outdoorsy types that flock to the campsites and cabins, including trail rides and hikes, water and group sports, and a campfire sing-along.
Rooms and Amenities
This Moderate resort offers the space and amenities often reserved for Deluxe resort guests.
Refurbished in 2016, the Cabins at Fort Wilderness offer the space and privacy of a traditional log cabin, without sacrificing modern comforts like air conditioning and HDTVs.
Each cabin sleeps up to six adults, between a queen bed, a double sleeper sofa and twin bunk beds.
Their kitchens are outfitted with many features you typically don’t find outside of Deluxe resorts, including a refrigerator, dishwasher, convection/microwave oven, and a double burner.
You’ll even get your own private outdoor patio space complete with picnic table and grill.
As an added bonus, man’s best friend can join you at this dog-friendly resort.
