The FW pool
is still a little like a square hole filled with water, but with a decent (not huge) slide. It was upgraded a few years ago (not sure of the year) so if you saw really old pictures, you may want to get back on the resort pics threads or allears or even lol the Disney site to check it out. To me, the only real disadvantage of the fort was not being able to drive around it. That's why so many people rent golf carts from Disney or offsite companies. We didn't, so I'm not very knowledgeable on the carts (the experts are on the camping board), but I think you might be able to get bigger carts from offsite - and definitely cheaper.
Otherwise, depending on where you are and how miserably hot it is, it may or may not be a reasonable walk from your cabin. So you're supposed to ride the bus to get to the pool. This, to me, was a tad inconvenient and would feel weird. We were in the closest loop to the feature pool, though, so we could walk, but it was kind of an unpleasant hike in July. Next time I'd probably ask for a cabin near a (totally a square hole filled with water) quiet pool, just for convenience. One good thing about our location was our nearest bus stop served 2 of the internal routes - meaning buses came by more often.

FYI, I hated the murphy bed.

Some people don't mind it though, so it might just be me.
Otherwise I loved the cabin, and would recommend you give it a try!
I do think you might miss the convenience of TS. Yes, there are some options, but nothing that will be quite as easy to get to as you are used to - aside from the cabin's kitchen.
