Ft. Wilderness Hayride & Pony Rides

[brooksfan5]

We are leaving on Oct 10 for WDW. We have been there several times, however we are taking our grandchildren this trip. We were wondering if anyone had any information on the hayride and pony rides at Ft Wilderness Campground. We are staying at Ft Wilderness Lodge for 1 night before transfering to Saratoga Springs for the week. We thought the kids may enjoy these activities, however I really don't have any information on them.

Thank You

I am not sure about the hay rides but I do know that the pony rides cost $4. You get the pony and walk it around the enclosed area yourself.

You can get specific details about these right from the camping forum, which is down near the bottom of the Trip Planning Forums page. However, just so you're aware of it, the Wilderness Lodge is not part of Fort Wilderness campground, where the hayrides and pony rides take place. There is a path between the two that you can walk, or take a boat launch over, but they are two separate resorts.
