Howdy, Deborah, and welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I’m so glad to hear that you are a repeat guest at
Disney’s Fort Wilderness. I’m sure you know the grounds better than Sheriff Woody himself.
Unfortunately, it is Disney policy that if you are not staying at a resort, the amenities such as pool and fitness center cannot be used. In your case, I made sure to call the
Sturdy Branches Health Club, since it’s so close to your home resort and sadly, you cannot purchase a pass either. If you decide to split your stay at a resort with a Fitness Center, you could use it at that point. Otherwise, the only options are to jog around your home resort or taxi to a nearby health center such as the Central Florida YMCA. It’s very close to the Resort and you can often have a complimentary day’s membership or a two week pass for a fabulous rate.
I hope you have a magical vacation and find room to stretch your legs. If not, you can always fall with style like Buzz! ~ Lindsey P.
