Picture of the day for the Fort.

Are the draft horses back at the fort. I know the grand kids would love to see them, and baby Lily.

They never left, just moved to the front out of the public's view. They new barn is expected to be done sometime in the Spring (March is what I was told) so thats when they will be back open to the public.

I stood on the bench at the bus stop. It's coming along pretty good looks like.

I hate that we cant see the water anymore.

While riding horses on the trail ride two weeks ago, the guide told us the draft horses were being boarded off property. They return when needed for Disney specific events, then go back to the temporary facility. FWIW.

While riding horses on the trail ride two weeks ago, the guide told us the draft horses were being boarded off property.

When I was there in October the CM at the trail ride checkin told me that the horses are off Fort Wilderness property but are still on Disney property.

This was taken yesterday 2/1/20, they were pulling an empty wagon. The CM driving said they take them out to keep them in their routine. Also, the small white "Cinderella" ponies were in the fenced pasture behind the trail ride check in building this morning as we were leaving.

My husband couldn’t believe how empty the parking lot is...

Thank you! It is such a beautiful place. We loved it!

Are we able to use our own kayaks somewhere at the fort?

 

[rml0win]

You cannot use your own kayaks. There are rentals at the bike barn. They can only be used in the canals at the fort.

I also took a drive by while visiting Disney Springs... the whole experience of driving on empty Disney roads (seeing no other cars at all) around all the parks is a bit eerie... also driving by the Fort with NO campers or anything else really in the overflow lot... so strange
