Howdy Erin,
Welcome back to planDisney. What a full day of outdoor adventure you have planned!
Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort is like a vacation all on its own with so many activities for the family throughout the 750-acre wooded area. Whether you are staying in a cabin, a campsite or simply visiting the resort to eat or play, you always feel like you've stepped deep into the quiet forest.
The
Wilderness Back Trail Adventure is an outstanding excursion. I'm not particularly athletic or coordinated, but I had a blast riding a Segway through the woods to see some of the more secluded areas of the resort. I haven't gone
horseback riding at Fort Wilderness, but I'm confident the Walt Disney World cast members make that a memorable experience as well.
The trail rides start at the
Tri-Circle-D Ranch adjacent to the main parking lot near the entrance to the resort, where you will leave your car if you are driving. The Wilderness Back Trail Adventure departs from the Bike Barn, near the Meadow Trading Post, about midway between the resort entrance and Pioneer Hall, the home of Trail's End Restaurant and the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue, at the other end of the resort. Those main areas of Fort Wilderness are connected by an internal bus system.
According to the Get Directions feature on the
My Disney Experience Mobile App, it takes about 20 minutes to walk between the Bike Barn and Tri-Circle-D. The bus between the two locations takes up to 30 minutes.
So, if I were you, Erin, I would allow at least 60 to 90 minutes between the two experiences to give yourself time to switch locations, take a little break and check in 15 minutes before your experience so that you aren't rushed or stressed.
I hope that helps and that you have a wonderful time at Fort Wilderness and Walt Disney World.
Enjoy every magical moment,
Wilma
