What Will the Updates to the Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort Cabins Entail?
The plan includes 350 cabins replacing current ones at Fort Wilderness resort, with the intention of making them as environmentally friendly and energy-efficient as possible while still utilizing the footprint of the current cabins. These will accommodate six adults and include a bedroom, bathroom, living room, full kitchen and private patio. Certain cabins will also be dog-friendly!
All rebuilding will take place on the existing 750 acres of scenic woodlands, and the project will result in a “refreshed” version of the cabins that is inspired by the resort’s beautiful setting and embraces its “unique culture and heritage through the magic of Disney storytelling.” The Fort Wilderness area has always been popular for its bucolic nature and recreation offerings.
