Fort Wilderness is located in the Magic Kingdom resort area, which will put you very close to the action. From the docks at Fort Wilderness you can take boat transportation directly to the Magic Kingdom and the other Magic Kingdom area resorts. This will give you access to many more restaurant and entertainment options in addition to all of the options right at Fort Wilderness. The transportation really makes it convenient to access so much of Walt Disney World Resort has to offer that it is a major perk to staying at Fort Wilderness. Don’t worry! You still have the buses to get you around the resort and to all of the parks. The boats are just an amazing bonus!
6. Recreation activities galore
You can do so much at this resort. There are the horse stables where you can go and visit the animals that are there. You can even schedule a horseback riding session or a carriage ride around the grounds. You can also show up for the regular wagon rides that depart every so often for another fun experience to explore. There are also bike rentals available to bike around property. It is great exercise and yet another great way to see the amazing wilderness. You also have fun activities going on at the pools with games and fun to keep guests entertained. Once it gets dark you have the Chip and Dale campfire sing-a-long that takes place most nights. It’s one of the only free character events outside of the parks, so it is a great activity to enjoy. Bring your own s’mores fixin’s or buy them at the mercantile! After the campfire is the movie under the stars which is a blast for the whole family. There is so much to do that you could easily spend tons of time enjoying the resort to break up the busy days at the parks and never have a dull moment!
