Walt Disney World Fort Wilderness Campground & Resort Tour | Golf Cart Tour, Pool & Food Locations

In today's vlog we head to Walt Disney World's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground for the last of our Disney Resort Tour series. We rented a golf cart, which was so much fun! It cost us about $60 and was a 24 hour rental. Because the resort grounds are so expansive we decided that the best way to tour the entire resort was by cart. We explored all of the pool locations, comfort stations and food outposts. There are so many great food locations at this resort! Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue, Trails End, P&J's Southern Takeout, and Crockett's. We ate at P&J's Southern takeout and it wasn't bad! The ribs were pretty good. We also checked out the RV campgrounds and the tent camping spots. It looked pretty nice and we'll definitely be camping here in the future! We to Tri Circle D Ranch and saw all the horses and ponies, one of the coolest parts of the resort!

The Fort is my all time favorite resort in WDW!!!! I have been going since I was 2 months old, Im 23 years old now. We go at least two times a years for 1-2 weeks at a time. The whole family (45 of us) stays there. So many memories :)

[@IMVADER2]

I can totally see myself just staying at the campgrounds for a week or so without spending a single day at the parks. So much to do! Segways, tennis, pool time, boating adventures, biking, walking...there's something for every day!

[@TheTimTracker]

Agreed! It's such a cool place!

[@brandondawson1135]

TheTimTracker by the morning morning night night and I will get to work today and then I can go

[@dougdoesdisney109]

One of our favorite resorts, we stay there often. The creeksude meadow is for group camping, such as Boy and Girl Scout troupes

[@genayares244]

Doug Does Disney good to know !!

[@patrickprescott5166]

Love this video so much! Solo camping in September myself. By far the least expensive and quietest of any Disney resort. Campsites can be had as low as $55/night! I took my trip to the extreme on penny-pinching. $55/night for the site, $35 for a military surplus tent, and I used an outside vendor for a bike rental at $150 for the week (dropoff and pickup included). What I ran into was I couldn't justify $65/day for a golf cart for myself and Disney only rents bikes for the daytime. You can't keep them for the extent of your stay. That's where the outside vendor came in. Really looking forward to an enjoyable trip!

[@hannahhull6077]

That back area is for group camping, like for family reunions or boy/Girl Scouts. Fort Wilderness is by far my favorite resort on Disney property

[@FireCracker3240]

40 minutes of Tracker goodness? YASSSSSSS!

[@scotthouston4714]

That ticket booth is what was left over from when they closed Disney's River Country Waterhole. Disney does seem to repurpose stuff. Now instead of getting tickets to the water hole. You pick up the tickets for the Mickey's Backyard Barbecue. Even that water tank by the slide use to be part of the railroad that ran through there then put in the waterhole and now it is at the slide at the Meadows Swiming pool. I almost forgot. The first pool they showed is the quiet pool and that one is opened 24 hours. The Meadows Pool with the slide is the one that closes down at a certain time. Also the slide is a lot of fun. Also they now let the guests push the reset button if the signal is flashing red. Even though the sign that says don't touch the button or something like that is still on there.

[@arleyvid]

Fort Wilderness is the best I've been waiting for this video!! It's oddly emotional watching this video because this is the resort me and my family would stay at every year we'd come and it's like a second home to us we haven't been back since 2011 and I miss that place so much it's such a fun place and I have so many amazing memories there it's also funny when Jen says it doesn't feel like Disney because Fort Wilderness to me feels so magical

[@nikkrabbott8523]

I freaking DIED with that sweet sixteen audio clip hahahaha i love you guys

[@donnahouck4216]

Spent so much of my childhood at Ft Wilderness. In a tent, a trailer and a cabin. Great memories,

[@tammy1607]

This is my favorite place... I'd be perfectly content to spend my vacation here without ever leaving.

[@evanlaboof9261]

"Aw, what I can't sneeze?" Love the vine references

[@MarcusDorsey]

Did this resort back in November with my dad's new RV, and it is (hands-down) my favorite Disney resort ever!! Absolutely serene and isolated from the rest of Disney World. And the fact the resort is so large makes it all so much more immersive. Coming back from a hectic day from the park to such a peaceful area is a huge plus from me.

[@sarahsal82]

I used to stay there all the time as a kid and I got married there in January. It is by far my favorite Disney resort!!!! The camp fire sing is amazing

[@brcsephina]

when i first heard that we were going to stay at the campground i was a lil disappointed, but after seeing this, i am pleasantly surprised and looking forward to it!

[@jbisig02]

Thanks for the tour Tim. we have stayed at fort wilderness many times with a motorhome since 1993. taken our children, now our grandchildren. have always walked it , never used a cart. we love it.

[@Starryeyed1801]

When Jenn said "Don't disrespect my boyband ..." I believe we just became best friends. #nsyncforever 😂😂😂

[@CCrispyyy]

Starryeyed1801 yesss 🙌🙌🙌 I got to see them live during the Pop tour!

[@cisforme]

I was going to post something similar! I already love Jenn and that just made me love her more! P.S. JC Chasez is my absolute long lasting man crush!

[@hannahhull6077]

Also there are really cool things offered at fort wilderness that other places don’t offer. For instance the golf carts around Halloween there is a golf cart parade and the headless horseman will ride around. There are also golf cart/ camp site decoration competitions. Another cool thing is you can watch all the fireworks and the water parade from the beach with all the audio from the show given to you. My family will go there a lot and just stay at the camp ground and not even go to the park. Most campsites run for about $100 a night

[@teresaannett8660]

Looks like fun and relaxing, just the right place for a short break with no park visiting just chilling, thank you Tim and Jenn for taking us along. Xx

[@plushies_and_petrichor]

My little family is planning our first trip in April and we'll be camping :) I can't wait to see this beautiful place!!

[@roxannebeaman5645]

I love Fort Wilderness,my favorite resort in Disney world.I spent the first half of my vacation in the parks and the rest of it just hanging around the resort.

[@anitaford6559]

I think we are staying here again this year. Love it! This will be our third time. It’s like having a house. I love it when it rains because you can hear it on the roof. The only thing I don’t like is the walk to and from the bus stops when it’s storming. And the thing about the black bears. Lol.

[@whoareyouvegas]

Honestly laughed SO HARD when Tim said "I'm a Canadian!" We have those rolley things at every park here in my city in British Columbia. It was a staple of my childhood for sure. Thank you so much for these resort tour videos, they've really helped me decide which resorts are more my speed for my trip to Disney World in 2 years. I definitely want to stay at Fort Wilderness at some point during that stay, camping is my favourite thing to do in the summer.

[@bobthomasisawsme]

mosquitos are never a problem! love this place

[@benwilson7870]

My favorite place in the entire world! We love Fort Wilderness.

[@albertice2]

my favorite resort. Stay in cabins there all the time. PS: the cabins come equpped with 1 queen, 2 bunk beds, and a pullout couch.

[@kitsunemetal]

Wow fort wilderness is gigantic Tim and Jenn thank you so much for showing me all the Disney resorts my friends.

[@scotthouston4714]

It most defintely is. That is why you need to rent a golf cart to get around there. Even though they do have the internal buses there.

[@leestevens3174]

We loved the resort when the kids were small! Such an awesome place to let them run and play and relax during afternoon breaks and in the evenings. We tent camped the first time and I was really hesitant about camping in general but the place is so quiet and peaceful and the comfort stations/showers/laundry were beautifully clean at all hours. I haven't been here in years but remember the restaurants are good and there was no shortage of entertainment, so glad you included this in your tours. I'm a diehard POFR fan but would not hesitate to camp here again. Well, I'd get a cabin nowadays but, still!

[@nickraithby256]

I love watching you guys. It’s been years since I’ve been to Florida and it’ll be a few years before I get back again, but watching you fills my heart with Disney joy. Thank you. Nick. 🇬🇧🦄🌈

[@dlm8763]

We stayed at the cabins in FW last year for our first ever visit to Disney. This year, we almost rented a house off-site but my family revolted. They wanted the cabins again. The golf-carts make it amazing! We can't say enough about this resort.

[@JvillePunk]

We have just gone to Fort Wilderness several times and only stayed in the camp ground or maybe Disney Springs. There is so much fun to have just camping at Disney's Fort Wilderness.

[@angelbordeaux1600]

Great tour! In regards to the mosquitoes - We have stayed there for many years, many many times and we NEVER had bugs! It's freaky weird - Kinda MAGICAL

[@spaceshiplewis]

I love Fort Wilderness, been there with the family RV. Cozy and quiet.

[@bemplit]

Stayed at the cabins in 2015 for Halloween. It was AWESOME. A must do.

[@OfficialAuntMoose]

Last year I went tent camping at a place less than ten miles from my house. It was so much fun to go by myself. I brought my Segway aka my car and it was fun to be able zoom to the pool and just look at all the RV’s and trailers because that’s fun. I love camping.

[@nobreyner60]

I am so glad I went back to rewatch this video. I have only visited Disney World three times in my life and they all happened within a year. Last year to be exact. I didn't know about the TriCircle D ranch on the first visit and on the second I took a boat to the ranch and surrounding areas. The barn was roped off for some private event so I didn't get to see much. I never got to see Mickey's backyard BBQ and I'm glad I got to see it here as it was closed and to be demolished at or after my third visit. The barn is closed and probably gone now, but still happy to see it all again and what I've missed as half of it is gone.

[@JenLefforge]

Pro tip if you're staying in a cabin with lots of people (and in our case, our 3 kids): request close to comfort station and the kids can use the comfort station bathroom if the one in your cabin is occupied. We've stayed there twice and LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

[@sma3776]

Do not disrespect my boy band. 😂 I love when Jen comes along.

[@notinurpocket]

as a carolinean i can indeed confirm that looks like the carolinas.

[@ThoosieJP]

Also the Myrtle Beach campgrounnds mostly use Golf Karts and someplaces let you you bring your own golfkart

[@nickycarreras2947]

Same here I agree! Once she said that I was like yeah definitely looks like the Carolinas. I’m from eastern NC

[@TheDisneyNerds]

N Cat as a NY’er who recently relocated to northeast NC, I agree!

[@GrannysPimple]

Joseph Parodi oceanlake campgrounds my man

[@kaib279]

It's wdw

[@Amanda_820]

I love when Jenn says "I feel like we're in the Carolinas!" haha I live in North Carolina...I'm honored our state is comparable to a Disney property! haha I have camped here before and other than the little Disney touches, it does feel just like camping at any other campsites around. Disney does have the best comfort stations (we call them bathhouses) ever though! :)

[@kristenacarbone7549]

My hubby and I stayed at FWC in January 2016 and absolutely loved it!!! Such a special place - I miss it so much!! Thanks for bringing back great memories!!!!

[@Dguti30]

When Jenn was defending *NSYNC/JC 😂🙋🏻‍♀️ so me!!

[@KatysKingdom1]

We just stayed at the cabins!! They are so nice and yes, there are bunkbeds in them! I just did a tour of our cabin on my channel if anyone wants to check it out! Great tour of the grounds Tim and Jen😊

[@grod805]

Katy’s Kingdom I'd it really $800 a night?

[@KatysKingdom1]

grod805 oh gosh no we had an AP deal and paid about $230/night.... Definitely do not think it’s worth $800/night! But for $250 or less definitely worth it.

[@313Tabasco]

It was a little over $300 in 2013.

[@sunnibunniarts]

One of my favorite resorts!! Love you guys and I hope to see you guys in May when I go to Disney!! It’s been a goal of mine for almost 4 years now ❤️

[@Leaf_420]

I just realized you guys r at fort Wilderness thank you for doing this tour because I'm going to Disney world at fort Wilderness in February and it,s going to be my first time at Disney world thank you bty you guys would love camping I've been camping since I was little and now my nephew go to and they love it

[@chloesexton9946]

I love staying at Fort Wilderness, the movie nights are the best and there is so much to do that you don’t really need to visit the parks to be entertained

[@ZoeAlexa11]

I remember staying here with my girl scout troop for a weekend way back in 4th grade. We did the hoop de doo revue show/dinner and I absolutely loved it and totally want to do it again soon

[@jcolorguard123]

I’ve been there so many times! During the holidays. it’s better because it’s cold and the RVs are all decorated for Christmas and stuff! My family and I do camping while my uncle and cousins do the cabins. For sure a must do if you ever want to camp out!

[@gregorylee1879]

We stayed there a few years ago, drove from Colorado to Ft Wilderness, but we rented a camper online, they delivered it to our site so that when we arrived all we had to do was check in, and drive to our spot. It was fantastic, and the least expensive way to enjoy the parks. I highly recommend Ft Wilderness, great job on the coverage guys!

[@pauldietrich8994]

Cowboy Beans? I think about the scene in Blazing Saddles.

[@JohnSmith-tg6dx]

Love this place, it’s worth a trip by itself.

[@heidiz4801]

Fort wilderness is one of our favorite resorts! Its great for our large family too!

[@bigboy8998]

I stayed in one of these cabins and it was awesome I highly recommend it to anyone, so much fun. Love you guys!

[@morethanthrills1616]

Almost 40 mins, awesome. 👍🏻

[@sophiarios8173]

The ticket booth was actually from River County. If you look closely you can see the ticket booth mentions water slides and things of that nature. It’s super cool!

[@nicolebaillargeon4642]

Yay! I’ve been waiting for this video, the area where there was a comfort station and fire pits etc, is where groups camp like the Boy Scouts.

[@coopersanders2440]

Ahh! Tim, I love your channel! I’m coming to Disney World this summer and your videos are helping me prepare! Florida looks like so much fun! Also, you are very funny and a down to earth person! Lots of love from Utah for you two!

[@missymichel1]

The water hose at each site is for fire use only. The campgrounds give you mosquito wipes when you check in. And they spray for mosquitos often. We stayed in the 100 loop for 2 weeks back in October and Fort Wilderness is an awesome place to stay. Also the blackberry moonshine colada is out of this world!

[@ianizer96]

I stayed at fort wilderness with family and friends like 5 years ago and just loooved it. So breathtaking and amazing to ride your bike. I mean on our last night we did encounter an alligator which was a big NOPE. But it was still so much fun haha

[@thizzkid949]

Jen’s tea she got from the store looks super refreshing

[@Huffordability]

Fort Wilderness is my favorite part of Disney. Would love to see you guys do a camping episode here.

[@nickr1307]

we have annual passes and sometimes don’t even go they parks. we just chill out ride golf carts. it is our favorite place

[@zig_zagman]

I remember the Meadows Trading Post from when my family stayed at Fort Wilderness in 1978! Fun memories.

[@debraswiderski3755]

Thank you Tim and Jenn, that was so much fun.I love you're personalities

[@LifeMeetSteph]

SO after watching this my friend and I totally booked a cabin here! It looked so cool we had to experience it for ourselves.

[@laurengeller645]

I’ve stayed at fort wilderness and I was so much fun! We always stayed by the movie screen where chip and dale hang out. It’s the only Disney resort my family and I stayed at more than once

[@EChord1]

When I was a kid, we always stayed here - both camping and in the 'cabins'. It's mostly unchanged from the 80's - even the 'cabin' layouts are pretty much the same. There weren't any pools then - we had River Country (alligators were still endangered then), and the internal bus system was overly complicated since it was organized by color coded flags. It was easy to get on the wrong bus - especially since some flags were VERY similar. lol Comfort stations were always very clean as well - as is usual for Disney. Beautiful and peaceful place to stay - highly recommend.

[@d.redrobinphillips9959]

Thank you thank you thank you. I love fort wilderness. Spent many wonderful years there. Wonderful video. Well done. 2 thumbs up.

[@anydayblessings2354]

Your tours are my favorite and are so helpful!!! Thank you so very much for showing everything!!

[@genxnerd74]

We have stayed in the cabins twice, they are amazing! We love Ft. Wilderness and hope to come stay in a motorhome soon.

[@katesantos1278]

Looks like you guys had some fun! Thanks for sharing, we love your shenanigans!

[@jlsmith9974]

My family lives in central Florida in a community where everyone drives golf carts around. So much fun!!

[@313Tabasco]

I love that you showed the cabin my wife kids in laws and I stayed at in 2013! The two cabins right by the ferry and trading post!!!

[@psychedprof]

The wide open area toward the end of the video is the group camping area. It's lots of fun with a big group. :) Thanks for the great overview!

[@toystorylover5257]

Wow! That's a great little area for people to relax in! There's a lot to explore too! Very cool area!

[@susiesnyder6631]

This is one of my favorite videos. Definitely consider renting an RV. We did this and we really enjoyed the experience. It was a seamless experience.

[@angiesaulsberry41]

We are eating at Trails End when we go at the end of May. Had it before and have done the Chip and Dale movie meet and greet . That was a fun free bonus to do. Made smores and hung out a bit.

[@annettemullins82]

Oh thank you so much for the Fort Wilderness tour. My family and I have both camped in Tents and rented the wilderness cabins. It’s been about 6 yrs since we have been able to go to the campground or Disney, so thank you for tour which made my day. Jenn is right, if you stay near the water you definitely need bug spray. Mosquitoes can be bad. You should go one evening to the campfire sing-a-long. It is so much fun roasting marshmallows and hot dogs over the fire pit, Chip and Dale come out to greet everyone at the sing -a-long, and then they show Disney movies under the stars. I also wanted to mention, the Trails End breakfast buffet is the best value in all of Disney and the foods pretty good too. You guys are awesome. I look forward to your videos each day. Have a zip-a-dee-do-da-day!

[@HeatherLaPuma]

Those are big drafting horses! So handsome!

[@katL92]

i think that this resort would be good on a relaxing day off when at disney just to go visit the horses and chill

[@dragonofsunshine1249]

The loaded chips at the pool snack bar are the best snack I have ever had at Disney. I am fully planning on going over to Fort Wilderness the 3 days we have there in May JUST for those chips.

[@sarahpatterson6734]

We loved fort wilderness when we went for the first time last May. Its so relaxed and has so much to do. Watching the fireworks from the beach is nice too 😊 can't wait for our next trip you showed us some stuff we missed. Thank you😊

[@chadpatty9178]

You guys are easily my favorite channel. You two seem like such a rad team together and your videos give me an escape from my daily shenanigans. Much love!

[@Vikmarie922]

Riley and I stayed in those in 2016 during Hurricane Gaston and it’s so sturdy. You have a queen size bed, and bunk beds in the bed room a gorgeous bathroom full kitchen and pull out bed in the couch. It was amazing!!! High recommend

[@ilovebarenyx3]

You guys should definitely visit the campground during Christmas time the way people decorate is amazing!

[@ShadyNJ]

That place is huge. Nice and quiet with your own cabin. I can see it's enticement.

[@justjay2723]

Best resort tour yet. Can’t wait to stay here in August.

[@anastasiacaffee4930]

That is such a cute idea,a water fountain for horses x3

[@rhinorinehart8066]

The Fort was the first resort I stayed at, back in the late 70s. LOVED IT !! Thanks for sharing......Rhino

[@sarahvanorden670]

My parents and I rented one of the canoes once, you can literally go all around the campground in their water it's so nice and so relaxing.

[@amyeddy7489]

If you have never been to Chip and Dale's sing-along, you need to totally drop everything and go there next! Get there early enough for the meet and greet and the sing-along and then the outdoor movie starts after that. Also, the Chuck Wagon is awesome for what amounts to poolside food.

[@AbbyDee1015]

I can’t believe this is your last Disney resort tour. I’ve enjoyed these SO much, I hope you continue at other parks. Thanks for sharing, you guys!

[@Bob-hk9ch]

Fort Wilderness was an amazing experience when I went back in August (even though I was boiling hot) and I can’t wait to go back to Disney world in June!!

[@deneicehullett4039]

You guys are so cute! My mom and I love to watch your adventures.

[@1234Kimberlee]

We stayed in one of the cabins for nine days! Loved it! The campground is my favorite place to stay.

[@mr_chill77]

A huge thank you for all of the resort tours! I used to live in the mountains so I can tell you the locks on the trashcans are bear locks, so it's partly for theming, although they do keep out any other animals as well.

[@shellyfacciolahassdenteufe1586]

I just love watching you two together! Cutest couple ever 😍

[@SuperTamig]

I love that campground I rented a golf cart when I went back in 2007 I have an RV..I enjoyed it there very much

[@bigbrianDASHncDOTcom]

Totally agree with the folks who pointed out that the shaped hot tub is a horseshoe shape, after all, as you showed, they actually KEEP horses at Fort Wilderness and it totally fits the rustic theme, as for the worries about mosquitoes, not only does Disney spray for that, but also, water that moves, that is NOT stagnant is one of the ways of avoiding the ability of mosquitoes to multiply, unless there is a very bad drought I bet Disney keeps the water flowing though their chain of lakes and canals enough to minimize that issue.
