Fort Wilderness Resort Guide: Cabins, Campsites & Boat to Magic Kingdom
Disneyâs 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 Trailâs 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. Itâs a unique destination that blends the magic of Disney with the serenity of old-school Florida. Thereâs nothing else like it at Disney. Iâm not an outdoorsman (more of a city guy here) but I love the atmosphere and activities offered at this resort. Itâs 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.

New Trail's End Restaurant at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort is a Great Value
Trailâs End has switched from a buffet/family-style eatery to a grab-and-go and mobile-order restaurant. See why itâs one the best deals at Disney.
Trailâs End Restaurant and Crocketâs Tavern at Disneyâs Fort Wilderness Resort have been reimagined. They reopened on July 27, 2023. Trailâs End has switched from a buffet/family-style eatery to a grab-and-go and mobile-order restaurant.
Crocketâs Tavern received a refresh with additional seating and upgraded furniture and flooring.
So letâs take a look at the new Trailâs End and see why itâs still the best value at Walt Disney World.
Trailâs End has been given a refresh: new flooring, ceiling, tables and chairs, and additional seating as well.
The former buffet area has been converted into the grab-and-go section. Select the items you want, then bring them to a cashier who will ring you up.

Pizza is popular in the grab-and-go section. During our visit they couldnât make the pies fast enough. Pizza menu at Trailâs End: plain cheese, pepperoni, smokehouse, and veggie.
Soft drinks, juice, milk, beer, and more are available as grab-and-go items in the cooler.
Thereâs another cooler with grab-and-go items including pre-cooked whole chickens, ribs, salads, and desserts.
A microwave is available if you want to warm something up, or you can take these items back to your RV or cabin.
In addition to grab-and-go items, Trailâs End also accepts mobile orders. The mobile order menu is much more extensive and includes entrees, family meals, pizza, desserts, and beverages.
Some items, such as the family meals can only be ordered on the Disney World mobile app. The cashiers cannot place meal orders - they literally just run the checkout line.
On the night we went, there was a 40-minute wait for mobile orders, so plan ahead.
The family meals are a fantastic value. We ordered the Half-Slab of Ribs and a 4-Piece Fried Chicken Meal for $26. It was more than enough food for 4 people.
Cornbread is no longer included with the family meals but it is available for purchase at the register.
The dessert items like the Lemon-Blueberry Trifal and the Strawberry Shortcake were excellent. And at about $6 each, thatâs a great value.
I canât think of any restaurants at Walt Disney World that have $6 desserts.
Even a Mickey Ice Cream Bar costs more.
We heard everyone talking about the Strawberry Shortcake. And now I know why.
Itâs the same one from the Hoop-Dee-Doo-Musical Review, which is legendary
The in-house bakery makes makes bagels, cookies, cakes, and muffins.
Mobile orders will be placed on a rack in the center of the restaurant.
Fresh fruit was available but pricey. $2.29 for a single banana.
