Fort Wilderness Resort Guide: Cabins, Campsites & Boat to Magic Kingdom

Disney’s Fort Wilderness is the ultimate retreat, offering a unique blend of wilderness and comfort with accommodations ranging from full-hookup Campsites to fully-equipped Cabins. This complete guide covers everything you need to know, including transportation (like the boat to Magic Kingdom), dining at Trail’s End and the famous Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue, plus unique activities like horseback riding and the Electrical Water Pageant.

Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort is one of my favorite resorts on Disney World property. It’s a unique destination that blends the magic of Disney with the serenity of old-school Florida. There’s nothing else like it at Disney. I’m not an outdoorsman (more of a city guy here) but I love the atmosphere and activities offered at this resort. It’s a good time!

Nestled among towering pines and serene waterways, this sprawling resort offers a range of accommodations, from cozy cabins to tent sites to hookups for mega RVs. Guests can enjoy outdoor activities such as horseback riding, biking, and fishing, while also benefiting from easy access to the Walt Disney World theme parks. With some of the best dining at Disney World, enchanting evening campfires, and the opportunity to connect with wildlife, Fort Wilderness provides a delightful escape where families can create lasting memories in a tranquil, scenic setting.
