Many people who are looking for a moderate resort category for their Disney Vacations always overlook the Cabins at Ft. Wilderness Resort. You don’t have to “rough” it when you stay here unless you want to. Take a look at why this hidden gem is a great place to stay at Disney World.

Nestled on 750 acres of pine and cypress forest, Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground evokes the timeless beauty of the American frontier. Teeming with such wildlife as deer, ducks, armadillos and rabbits, the Resort welcomes you to delight in scenic woodland trails, a white-sand beach, exciting pool areas, rootin’ tootin’ entertainment and hearty country eats.  Offering great amenities, dining, family fun and more here are my favorite reasons to choose Ft Wilderness for your next Disney Vacation!
