WDW Fort Wilderness

Fort Wilderness – If you have never taken your kids camping taking them here will only give them a false sense of what it means to be outdoors because WDW’s FW is top notch! We have tent camped here years ago with large groups of family and friends. More recently we took our camper and even experienced the cabins through other family members. I can only say good things about FW. They have “loops” off the main road and each loop has their own community bathroom which is air conditioned, and very clean. Near the bathroom are a laundry room, ice machine, posting of movies, bus schedules and other information. They have at least 2 little stores with souvenirs and basic items. They have hidden areas of small parks, a lake to use a paddle boat, beach volleyball, petting zoo, horse back riding, a large lake where you can rent boats and peacocks roaming around. The have a pool, tennis courts and even shuffleboard. At night they show an outdoor movie complete with fire pit for smores and a visit by Chip & Dale who come to sing-along before the show starts. Also at night you can view the Magic Kingdoms fireworks at the lake front. Be prepared for mosquitoes and bring a blanket to sit on in the sand. They have great food options and even a 2 options for special dining. Staying at FW you really need either a bike or a golf cart. You can rent them from Disney or bring your own. That is how everyone gets around and you see carts all over. Get on the list to rent one ASAP so you do not have to wait, and make sure it is charged. For pet lovers, they have a loop just for you so ask for it. It is probably our favorite place to stay on Disney property.
