Hey Howdy Hey, Nicholas! Welcome to planDisney and thanks for stopping by with such a great question.
I couldn't be happier to hear that you have a magical adventure just around the riverbend. And with its serene wilderness vibes, oh-so-delicious (and fun!) dining options, endless recreation activities, and location within a short, scenic boat ride of Magic Kingdom,
Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort is the perfect home away from home right in the middle of the magic.
Even though check-in isn't until 3:00 p.m., I think you'll be happy to hear you can arrive at Fort Wilderness any time you'd like on your check-in day to begin enjoying the pool, activities and amenities. Just let the Cast Member at the security hut know that you'll be checking in, and provide a photo ID. If you'd like, you can even leave your luggage with Bell Services until check-in time. There is no better feeling than arriving at your Disney Resort and knowing that your fun and magic are just beginning!
While there are so many things I love about Fort Wilderness, such as the hilarious
Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue and the complimentary Chip 'N' Dale's Campfire Singalong, be sure to also check out the
Tri-Circle-D Ranch. Seeing Cinderella's beautiful ponies and the other stunning Disney horses is a must for any animal lover or wilderness explorer!
I hope this was helpful, Nicholas, and I hope you have the most magical and memorable visit! Please feel free to stop by any time with any questions you may have.
You've got a friend in me,
Mandy
