Disney's Fort Wilderness Cabin Review

Patty, the kids, and I checked into a Fort Wilderness cabin on a beautiful sunny Florida day exactly 1 month ago today!

Today we are home battling "flooding rain" on a dreary raw cold New England day. The trip was in part to celebrates Patty's BIG 40 and our "winter-get-away".

Anyways, we absolutely LOVED Disney's Fort Wilderness cabin and campground. The cabin itself is in the shape/form of a park model (I tried looking for wheels but could not find any). I would be surprised if these were pre-manufactured and shipped in.

As for the cabin, the rear room there is a large room with a nice double (or queen) bed and a set of bunk beds. In the living room area there was a very comfortable Murphy bed.

The size of the cabin was PERFECT and plenty of space for the 6 of us! Yes, Niki was able to get time off from her military duty to vacation with us.

Some highlights about the campground/cabin:

  • Checkin was quick and easy. We stopped by the office several times and there was never a wait.
  • Very very comfortable.
  • Huge bathroom with plenty of towels, soap, shampoo, etc!
  • Service! The maids will do your dishes!
  • Large Fridge, Stove, Coffee Maker, etc. was available in the room.
  • Room is "themed"! The dishware even includes cute little "jug" cups
  • Large living room includes couch, tv, and chairs.

Some negatives:

  • Quick bite/convience type food is VERY expensive. Doubled if not tripled!
  • No car parking near the ferry, store, resturant, and Hoop-Dee-Do Review.
  • No wireless internet service. Pay-for-wire service is available.
