what I found out about the Fort Wilderness Cabins

Fort Wilderness Cabin
What I found out about the cabins, they are really great for families.
It was nice to make breakfast every morning before going to the parks.
The porch was a nice place to sit and rock in the rocking chairs while we waited for the rest of the family to get ready.

We were lucky and got to stay in cabin 118 which is really close to the marina.
We were told that the two cabins in 100 loops were VIP rooms.

We found that the buses were really great there; we didn’t wait long at all for the buses.
I don’t think you have to have a car or rent a golf cart to get around at the fort, I think the buses cover any place you would want to go.

The walk to the pool wasn’t as far as I thought it would be, if you don’t like walking you could just hop on a bus.

The campfire program was fun to do; we only had time to do it on the first night, this is a must do if you have children.

If I could do it over I would have stayed more days and looked more around the fort, as
we enjoyed just sitting on the beach and watching the ducks.

I think that most people at the fort Wilderness camp ground were really nice, and would help in any way they could, as far as telling you how to get around the fort.

The maid service was great; we came back to a tidy room, well stocked with towels.

The only thing I think they could add to the cabins to make it better would be add a washer and dryer, but that’s about it.

Amen to the washer and dryers. Wouldn't that we the best!!!!

I am glad you enjoyed your cabin stay. I love staying there for many of the reason that you listed. Aren't you lucky to get the 100 loop cabins!!! It gives me hope.

We usually go for 5 days but our next trip will be at least 7 days. We never get a chance to do everything. Plus we like to do everything on a slow pace. We sometimes only go to the parks for a few hours and then chill at the fort.

Did you request the 100 loop cabin? We are visiting Disney for the first time in Feb and staying in the cabins. I am not sure how requesting certain cabin loops work, but I heard the 100 loop are the nicest. What is better about these cabins????

Yes we had a great time, it was our first time at disney's fort wilderness cabins.
I would love to stay there again, we are going in November but since granddaughter is coming we are going to stay at Movies.

When my son gets home I will post pictures.
The parks were full but we didnt have a hard time getting on rides because we fast pass the rides that were long, but most rides were only about 15 mins long.

In 6 days we saw all four parks and I can only think of three things we didnt get to and that was in DS.
We arrived at the parks around noon time, did one ride then ate lunch, we stay late every night.
The weather was great it was in the mid 80's with breeze, and some clouds.
yes it was hot but not as hot as it was last July.
We only used fans one day.

I didnt request loop 100, but did request to be close to the marina or bus stop.
We were told that they don't give out VIP rooms but was told I was to get one of the rooms.
as one of the girls was talking to the other worker and said we arent surpose to give the VIP rooms out and the other girls said yesm but she is to get one, that she already checked on it and was told I was to get one.

Why did I get one of the VIP rooms?
I think its because I have alway wrote to disney after every trip I take.
Its the only reason I can think of.

Good for You!!! I hope we will be as lucky. We are headed to the cabins on the 13th for 6 nights. Not sure where they'll put us as we are with 2 other families GG that have a 5th wheeler and a camper. Keep your fingers crossed.
Any other tips you want to share?
