I wanted to let everyone know to be cautious about your belongings while at Fort Wilderness. We just returned from our first trip. One of our bicycles was stolen while we were visiting Hollywood Studios. I learned from staff that there have been regular reports of items being stolen. They said that bicycle theft has been rampant in the past year. The Disney security officer tried to discourage me from contacting law enforcement and would not even contact them when I asked.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office responded and was great. I would greatly encourage anyone with a problem in Fort Wilderness to contact them directly as I had to. I felt that the Disney staff did not want the attention of law enforcement in the park. It seemed that a park employee was most likely involved or was responsible. We had one employee pay particular attention to our bicycles. His nervous excitement was very odd, but it made sense after the bike was gone.
Be careful while you are there and keep everything locked up while you are away.
