The Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort - Resort hotel in Lake Buena Vista - 4510 Fort Wilderness Trail, USA

I have always wanted to stay at Fort Wilderness and finally did! I loved every minute of the stay. I do recommend you rent a golf cart, as it makes traveling around the resort much more manageable (it is worth the added expense!). We brought our little dog and he truly loved all the space (and other dogs!).||The food is great with lots of options, the activities are fun and worth the extra fee, and the beach is a relaxing place to watch the fireworks. ||We did have one odd experience: the first two nights of our stay, a couple little frogs kept congregating around the door and some got in our cabin. They were really cute and not too hard to get out, but definitely something to watch out for. We would open the door slowly and shine a light around it to see if any frogs were hanging about. Cast Members theorized that because our cabin had been empty before we checked in, the frogs weren't scared away. Despite this small inconvenience, we have already booked another stay at Fort Wilderness!

I'll keep this short and sweet. Great place. You feel like you're camping up north. The cabins are cozy and comfy. There's PLENTY of fun activities. You can park your car at the cabin and we didn't use it the rest of the time we were there. HIGHLY recommend getting a golf cart if you're staying for a few day or more and intend to do on site activities. Room service and cast members were great. Bus system is also easy and convenient. Definitely recommend!

Love, Love, LOVE staying in the cabins in Ft Wilderness. Christmastime has been my special time to go. I miss the restaurants for breakfast and lunch and dinner - the new place is just alright - not something I'd recommend. I recommend cooking in the cabin! |I'll miss them when they redo with the new vacation club member cabins.

We loved the cabins. Ours was very clean and the mouse keeping staff came in almost daily and cleaned our rooms without us asking. A nice surprise after a long day at the parks to come back to everything cleaned and all new towels, wash clothes, bedding. The campground is huge, you'll need a golf cart. The best part though is if you get the first boat to Magic Kingdom, you can be first in the park. The Chip and Dale Campfire is a great experience. They do this each night at the campground. We booked another trip and so excited to go back.

We love to stay at the cabins each year but they are beyond a good value at the current pricing. The furniture is old and dirty. The sleeper sofa was impossible to sleep on and took a lot of time to get one replaced . They don’t clean every day but trash cans are small for a kitchen. There are no towels at the pools so bring your own. There is a full size fridge, microwave and dishwasher in the kitchen. There are 2 small cooktop burners. The kitchen is equipped with basic supplies but minimums. There is a charcoal grill and a picnic table on the patio. Bring bug spray when outside. A golf cart or bikes are necessary since there are no parking places for cars. The campgrounds are fun to explore especially during the holidays. There are multiple pools , playgrounds, trails and basketball hoops. The evening campfire with Chip and Dale was fun. There is a fire but no supplies for s’mores so bring your own including sticks.

We loved the cabins! Definitely recommend bringing or renting a golf cart for ease of movement around the resort. It's a short boat ride to magic kingdom and bus rides to the rest of the parks. The staff were friendly and helpful. If you go around Halloween or Christmas, the golf cart will allow you to explore the resort and see all the decorations other guests put up!

The cabin was amazingly huge, clean, quiet and the air conditioning worked well! We were in loop 2700 and it was wonderful. Plenty of space for our family, loved the full size kitchen. We swam and had fun in the golf cart. At first I laughed at the golf cart but it’s the only way to get back to the boat launch, on site restaurant and stables without waiting on an interior bus. We never used the buses so I can’t comment. We did use the water taco to the magic kingdom and it was great. Love to stay again but not sure how expensive it will be as these are being converted into DVC rentals. I’d you can go to the stables and see the horses - our daughter loved the pony ride!

This was our first time visiting Fort Wilderness as we usually stay at a deluxe resort but now there are more of us we fancied a change! ||Firstly - this resort is huge, don’t underestimate that! That being said we stayed in the cabin loop and didn’t bother getting a golf cart. We walked 25 minutes to the settlement and around 15-20 to the meadows pool. The internal buses are really regular, we never waited more than 5 mins. ||Positives : |- boat to magic kingdom is purely magical and absolutely wonderful after a long night at magic kingdom! |- really lovely atmosphere and scenery. We loved the smells and the wildlife spotting. All cast members were friendly |- hoop de hoo is a must! Our whole family 2-60 loved it!|- cabin is nice and homely and the sofa bed did my parents fine for two weeks. |- watching the fireworks from the “beach” area was really special, especially with young children!||Negatives - |The cabins are a little tired and dated. Obviously this will be changing with the new DVC cabins but our mattress in the bedroom was very sad and the cabin needed a deep dusting - top of the wardrobes and lights were pretty gross |- the pool by the cabins was so so disappointing. This pool is not manned by any staff and wasn’t heated for our stay (april-May). There were guests playing music over speakers, kids diving in, oblivious to other guests. It was not a pleasant experience. Disney you are letting us down. Your big spenders are the people staying in cabins, please provide us with a better experience!! |- no refillable cup stations. This is usually a must for us but we didn’t fancy the 20 min walk to fill them up, didn’t seem worth it. Please put one by the cabin pool. |- we were there when all the food options by the settlement closed. There were smaller options but they weren’t great. Hope to visit again when trails end is re-opened and re-imagined. ||We did have an incident where my mum fell in a huge pot hole that wasn’t visible due to no lighting by the bus stop by the settlement. She was really hurt and had a huge gash and lots of bruises. Unfortunately staff didn’t seem to care too much and gave her a sticker for being brave and promised they’d have maintenance fill it in…well four days later we reported it again and basically received an eye roll from staff. If this was an elderly person or a child I’d hate to think of how badly they could be hurt!||Overall we did love our stay here and will definitely return on our next visit.
