    Hello - Given the construction that is underway at Fort Wilderness, is the beach area open and are we able to still view fireworks from the beach area?

    Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Shannon! I'm absolutely thrilled to welcome you to planDisney! 

    Your visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth is almost here – how exciting! I can only imagine how much anticipation you must be feeling right now. Soon, you'll be strolling down Main Street, U.S.A., with the sweet smell of Mickey-shaped treats in the air and Cinderella Castle shimmering in the distance. You'll be soaring over Neverland on Peter Pan's Flight, singing along on "it's a small world," and maybe even joining Mickey and Minnie on a whirlwind adventure aboard the Runaway Railway! Your happily ever after is just about to begin!

    How exciting that you'll be staying at Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground. You are in for such a unique and unforgettable experience! Fort Wilderness feels like a true escape into nature, all while keeping you just a short boat ride away from Magic Kingdom! You'll be able to enjoy wildlife, scenic trails, cozy cabins or campsites, and a wide variety of recreation options, from horseback riding and fishing to evening campfire sing-a-longs with Chip 'n' Dale. It's the perfect mix of outdoor adventure and classic Disney fun!

    I spoke with a Cast Member to get the latest scoop on the construction updates, and they confirmed that none of the current projects mention anything about the beach areas. You should be all set to enjoy the beach and catch the fireworks from there!

    Shannon, before I go, I want to remind you that TWO new entertainment offerings debut at Hollywood Studios on May 27th, Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After and The Little Mermaid: A Musical Adventure. I'm so excited you'll be there to experience them! 

    Have a MAGICAL vacation!
