Fort Wilderness renovations/upgrades confirmed
As we reported a couple of months ago, the Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground will be receiving a major upgrade. The announcement from Disney last week confirmed all items that we reported, as well as some additional into.
There will be an intensive effort to widen and lengthen the concrete parking pads to address the fact that the average length of a recreational vehicle has increased by 27 feet since the campground opened, many with "slide-out" extensions. New "premium" campsites will be available, featuring not only extra large concrete pads for larger vehicles but also upgrades to existing amenities such as picnic tables and grills.
The main pool will see the addition of a themed water slide, a hot tub and a children's web play area. The pool's deep end has also been made shallower. The 409 Wilderness Cabins have all received new furniture, carpeting, fixtures and linens, as well as a fresh coat of paint. There's a new doggie playground at the new Waggin' Trails Dog Park, an off-leash play area.
