EMH while camping at Ft Wilderness

[Dr Ken]

Is anyone certain whether or not the Campsites at Fort Wilderness qualify for Extra Magic Hours?

At "disney.go", it says "Guests of select Walt Disney World Resort hotels" can use EMH. Under "select" resorts, it lists the cabins but not the campgrounds. I can't find any written document anywhere that says that the campgrounds are a "select" resort hotel.

When trying to use TouringPlans.COM, it let's me enter "The Fort Wilderness Cabins Resort" but not "The Campsites at Fort Wilderness".

It's scaring me! If we can't use EMH, that would change my entire schedule! (We'll be staying at the Campground for 7 days in January.)

I'll go out on a limb and say yes to EMH for all Ft Wilderness guests. FtW is a true Disney Resort with all Disney Resort perks, whether you're camping or staying at the Cabins.

Disney legalese is vague at times. I think they mean to describe certain WDW resort hotels that are not Disney-owned but are on Disney property -- such as Shades of Green, Dolphin, Swan, DTD hotels, Bonnet Creek area hotels, and Four Seasons Golden Oak, which may have other guidance on EMH. I believe SOG, Dolphin and Swan qualify for EMH, but the DTD area, Bonnet Creek area and Four Seasons Golden Oak hotels do not cover EMH. And, possibly, the DTD Hilton does cover EMH.

Yes, you're good.

 

[Marbel]

Yes FW qualifies. I've done EMH while staying at FW (camping, not cabins)

Thanks everybody. I thought it qualified but I couldn't find it posted at disney.go or anywhere else.

Thanks everybody. I thought it qualified but I couldn't find it posted at disney.go or anywhere else.

Post this in the camping board and get some first hand experience! Yes you are good to go for EMH!
