Fort Wilderness ahhhh, the wonders of the great outdoors made a little more comfortable for all those who don’t want the outdoors part. My family and I have stayed at Ft. Wilderness 3 times now each time we have visited first in the homes (pre-cabins), second camping, and third time in the Cabins.
The Cabins are large and spacious the main bed rooms are separated from the living/dining rooms. The dining area is finished with a table, chairs (Dining and cushioned) a couch, and Murphy bed. The theme of the frontier is carried into the house all of the furniture is earth toned and wooden. There is a kitchenette that is fully supplied with utensils and accessories. The only downside is that there is with a family of six sitting down to eat a dinner it can be a little cramped but still comfortable. The bed rooms are nice. A queen bed and bunk bed are the only furniture in the room. The only downside of that room is since the change from homes to cabin they remove the small sink in the bedroom.
The transportation from the home is biased around buses all thought Golf carts are available. The bus stations are located close to each “loop” meaning about a 2 min walk at the most. All though hardy campers have cut paths though the woods in some places making for a more direct route. The buses come about every 5 to 7 min not bad considering they stop at all the loops. The bus provides transportation to the TTA and to the marina (not quite but will a 2 in walk really hurt you) that provides a nice “cruse” to the Magic Kingdom”. Golf carts all though pricy go places that busses don’t like to your door, directly to the marina, and to the trading post (a small market and souvenir shop).
The animal life in Ft. Wilderness is local and exotic. Squirrels, frogs, raccoons, and armadillos all make up the happy animal population. All which don’t invade your privacy unless your privacy is their home.
Food is good you can eat at home via your kitchen or out at one two restaurants. Crockets tavern provides a low key dining experience. Gives you a buffet style restaurant and a bar. Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue is a dinner show and all you can eat dinner. Both venues are an excellent choice although the hoop-dee-doo is a bit pricey.
Over all it’s a great experience giving all guest who go a new Disney experience.
