Staying in Disney’s Fort Wilderness? Here’s the COMPLETE Movie List to Help You Countdown to Your Visit

Located on the shores of Bay Lake, and just a water taxi ride away from Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground provides the feeling of being right in the heart of the wilderness. Whether you choose to stay in a cosy Fort Wilderness cabin, park up in your very own RV or pitch a tent at the Fort Wilderness Campground, you will be surrounded by trees, and feel at one with nature, while being right in the heart of the Walt Disney World Resort. 

This Disney Resort hotel allows Guests to be immersed in a natural setting and is perfect for families who prefer a glamping or camping experience rather than a typical hotel stay. Fort Wilderness is a Moderate Disney Resort, that offers plenty of recreational activities, and more so than any other Moderate Resort hotel, including Disney’s Port Orleans Resort and Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort. Disney’s Fort Wilderness is also the place to see the Walt Disney World Resort’s equestrian residents. Make sure to stop by Tri Circle D Ranch and see the many horses that call the Disney Resort home.

The Fort Wilderness Cabins offer spacious accommodation that rivals that offered in a Disney Vacation Club Villa, in Resorts such as Old Key West, Saratoga Springs, Animal Kingdom Lodge and Disney’s Beach Club and Yacht Club Resorts. Disney’s All Start Music Resort and Art of Animation Resort are other Disney hotels that offer spacious accommodations in the form of Family Suites.

Fort Wilderness is a short boat ride away from Disney’s Contemporary Resort and Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. Other Disney Resort hotels can be accessed by traveling to Magic Kingdom Park. From the Disney Park, Guests can travel to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort via the Disney Monorail.

The setting of Fort Wilderness makes for a perfect getaway any time of year, but especially during the Fall and Winter months. Staying in the Fort wilderness cabins provides the perfect opportunity to cozy up, and put a movie on whilst eating your favorite Disney snacks, that you’ve picked up at the Meadow Trading Post. A movie is also a great way of kicking back after a day in a Disney theme park. Enjoy a barbecue out on the porch, before relaxing in front of the TV. If you’d rather eat out then why not chill out during the afternoon, before visiting Pioneer Hall for dinner, whilst enjoying the Hoop-De-Doo Musical Revue.
