Hiya, Donica!
It's so nice to chat with a fellow
Disney Vacation Club Member here at planDisney. As of today, you're officially one year away from arriving at Walt Disney World Resort –– I'm so excited for you! While it might seem far away, there are several things you can do between now and the time you arrive to prepare for your visit. Once you've purchased your tickets and planned out your itinerary, you'll need to make your theme park reservations using the
Disney Park Pass system for each day of your visit. Since the summer months are a popular time at Walt Disney World, I recommend making these as early as possible for the most availability. As your visit gets closer, I also suggest making a few
advance dining reservations to enjoy during your stay. And the best part? As a Disney Resorts Collection hotel Guest, you'll be able to book reservations for your entire length of stay (up to 10 days), beginning 60 days from check-in. How cool is that?!
It sounds like you're someone after my own heart, Donica –– I always love checking out all the details about my Resort and my room before I arrive. And the great news is that you can find a map of
Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort, along with all the
Disney Resorts Collection hotels, by visiting the Walt Disney World website. Once you're there, click on the "Places to Stay" tab and select the Resort you'd like to view from the list. Then, on the resort page, click "Overview". You'll find the Resort map on the righthand side, and after clicking on it, you'll be able to zoom in and out to see more details. To get an idea of the layout, you can click on
"Room Rates" and under "Wilderness Cabin", click "View Photos". There, you'll find photos of accessible and non-accessible rooms to help you understand what your room will look like once you arrive. To check out rooms at a different hotel, all you'll need to do is repeat the same steps from above.
With so many offerings that are unique to each Resort, Disney Resorts Collection hotels aren't just a place to sleep –– they're a place to be! In addition to fantastic accommodations and incredible theming, each Resort has its own dining and recreation options, activities, and so much more. That's why we've made it easy to learn about all the things you'll find at each Resort with our
planDisney Pocket Guides. And not only are these great for learning about the Resort before you arrive, but you can even print a handy PDF version of each guide to bring along during your stay. You can find Pocket Guides for each resort by visiting our
planDisney Instagram account or on
Disney Parks Blog –– be sure to check them out!
Thanks for visiting planDisney, Donica. If you think of new planning questions as your visit approaches, I hope you'll stop by again –– we're always happy to help!
Have a Magical Day,
Amy
