Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campgrounds Full Tour and Guide | Disney World 2024

We love The Fort, I’ll admit it’s not for everyone, but if you’re looking to go a little cheaper this is the place. We go the week before Halloween, our son has a Fall Break and it’s usually the week we go. We tow our camper down from Kentucky and stop around Atlanta for the night, and it’s a shorter day to The Fort. We’re going back October 2025, we had plans to go this year but we had some other things come up, in our small business. But hey that’s the thing about owning a small business, things change. We love it and we usually do less park days because we love it so much. We usually hit Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and then do Mickeys Halloween Party. Next year will be our third time there and I don’t think we’d stay anywhere else down there. If we didn’t take our camper we’d get a cabin, because there’s so many things to do there as opposed to other resorts.

Thanks for sharing all of this! I think the week before Halloween would be perfect, for the decor and the weather around the Fort. Our stay really made me a believer in this place and my kids keep asking about it! Hoping you have a great trip in 2025!

The pool bar was changed about 2 years ago. It got worse. They changed to having only pre packaged food that they heat up versus making it fresh. It's Disney cost cutting. Just like they changed trails end restaurant to a quick service and removed some of the food. But overall it's still great because you can go to other places on Disney property to eat... Like taking the boat over to Contemporary and eating lunch there.

The change to prepackaged options is not great; we obviously couldn’t make any substitutions on any of the food, and what we did get was not good. And Trail’s End was also good not great but it had some of the essentials. I agree that the proximity to Seven Seas Lagoon dining options makes up for it.
