Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, April!
It is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we welcome you to planDisney! Thank you so much for stopping by, and I am so excited to share with you my top five favorite things about staying at the
Fort Wilderness Cabins! I really could talk for hours, but I have narrowed down the most AH-mazing hidden gems that I know will make your stay the absolute BEST and most MAGICAL!
1.
Rent a Golf Cart.
One of the absolute best ways to experience Fort Wilderness is by renting a golf cart and cruising the property in your own MAGIC carpet ride! Getting from place to place becomes part of the fun, especially at night when campsites are lit up with decorations and personality. It also saves a significant amount of time compared to waiting on the internal bus system, which means more time for relaxation. Once you rent a golf cart, you’ll wonder how you ever did Fort Wilderness without one.
2. Take Advantage of Your Kitchen!
Having a full kitchen in your cabin is a game-changer and a huge money saver during your stay. You can make breakfast in your pajamas and enjoy relaxed family dinners without rushing to reservations. It also gives your trip a cozy, “home away from home” feel that you just don’t get at most Disney resorts.
3. Go to
Chip ‘n’ Dale’s Campfire Sing-A-Long!
This is something my family experiences EVERY vacation! Roast marshmallows, sing fun songs, and soak in the outdoor atmosphere. It’s wholesome, nostalgic, and full of pixie dust. Then, stay after the sing-a-long to watch a Disney movie under the stars. This is one of those memories that will be remembered long after the trip is over.
4. Take a Break and
Go Fishing!
Fishing at Fort Wilderness is peaceful, easy, and surprisingly fun, even if you’ve never held a fishing pole before. You can rent gear from the Bike Barn in the Meadow Recreation Area and enjoy a quiet break surrounded by nature. It’s a great way to slow the pace of your trip and do something totally different from attractions and crowds. Bonus points if you go early in the morning or around sunset.
5. Take a
Pony Ride!
If you have little cowboys or cowgirls (ages 3 to 9) in your family, you will definitely want to take a pony ride located near Pioneer Hall. Watching the faces of your family light up is one of those moments you won’t forget. It’s affordable, low-key, and a perfect reminder that some of the best Fort Wilderness memories happen off the beaten path.
I sure hope this helps with your planning! If you have other questions about your upcoming
Disney World vacation, please let us know! We are here to help in any way!
Have a MAGICAL day!
