Our Thoughts

MDT Tested

This Disney Resort Hotel has not yet been Military Disney Tips Tested!

Fort Wilderness is primarily a camp ground, with camp sites for RVs and campers (with and without hookups) and some sites for tents. Some people come annually for extended periods. The cabins are just a small section of the resort..

There are lots of activities taking place at Fort Wilderness every day.

Are you interested in finding a great military rate at this resort? I recommend using an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner (travel agent)! Doing so can take the stress out of planning a Walt Disney World or Disneyland vacation, which can be a complicated and overwhelming task. You have probably seen elsewhere on the site that I recommend Ears of Experience as my preferred Authorized Disney Vacation Planners. They will do all the work for you!
