I took some pictures of the Meadows Trading Post for those who might not have visited FW yet or just want to know what type of goodies they enjoy.

There are a couple of aisles of dry goods with many camping items that you might have forgotten.:confused3

Plenty of beer and wine, but bring plenty of $$$ :lmao:

More liquid

You can find a quick meal here including frozen pizza

Yogurt, lunch meats, cheese, butter and more

This was the extent of the Fort Wilderness coffee mugs. Hmmmm

These were on sale for only $ 2.99 each

Cups galore, but very few Fort Wilderness items

Now this is a souvenir!

You can even stop and play a game of checkers

Yes, the prices are higher, some VERY high, but the atmosphere is great. You can grab a hot of coffee, the morning paper and set outside and enjoy the surroundings. :coffee:
Also available is hard liquor, (behind the service counter), candy, cookies, post cards, games, hats, t-shirts and more.
This is the only place within the Fort that you can actually drive a car/truck to, but parking is for only 15 minutes. Special golf cart parking is right near the front door.
Hope you enjoyed the mini tour.

Thanks for the tour. Makes me want to get my money out and shop! I could tour through there several times a day.

I would gladly pay the high prices for an item or two...if I could just get out of this snow :) . Thanks for sharing the pics. When we are down there, we spend a lot of time meandering through the Meadows.

I have a question. Maybe someone knows. What is next to the Disney Coffee in the first pic? It is between the Disney coffee and the tea. It has a Disney coffee label and looks like Mickey heads. I am a fan of the coffee's label and I have a few variations of the can plus the mug but I didn't see this item last time...
Thanks

Looks like Mickey Mouse sugar cubes? I don't know, I zoomed in as best I could. Maybe FlFortCampster can read the label in the original high-res shot?

I love those pics! I feel like I just took a shopping trip! Thank you for posting this. :goodvibes

I noticed the Mickey heads too and thought it looked like lumps of sugar. If that's what it is, that is very cool! Although, I think I would want to save them and not use them in my coffee. lol.
