Overview


The name "Fort Wilderness" came from the fort on Tom Sawyer Island located at Disneyland Theme Park in Anaheim, California.

The Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort provide an idyllic setting for a family vacation. Nestled on 750 wooded acres of lush pine and cypress trees, the cabins provide all the comforts of home wrapped in a rustic, American Frontier theme. Time seems to slow down while you wander the quiet trails, and roaming ducks, deer and rabbits add to the sense that you are far away from the bustle of modern civilization. Due to the sprawling size of the Resort, consider renting a golf cart for additional ease when exploring the many amenities and activities available to Resort Guests.
You'll find lots to do within the Resort's spacious grounds. Seasonally, be sure to catch Mickey's Backyard BBQ Character Dining at the Fort Wilderness Pavilion. Explore the "backcountry" aboard a Segway personal transporter or stroll over to the Tri-Circle-D Ranch for carriage, wagon or horseback rides, or for younger Guests, pony rides. Nearby are Trail's End Restaurant and Crockett's Tavern—and the very popular Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue dinner show. For fun on the water, the marina at Bay Lake rents SeaRaycers, pontoon boats and other watercraft, and offers catch-and-release fishing expeditions.
Meadow Recreation Area's outdoor theater is home to the nightly Chip 'n' Dale "Sing-a-Long" and marshmallow roast, followed by a screening of a classic Disney movie. Other diversions abound as well: trails, tennis, volleyball, swimming, horseshoes, shuffleboard and archery—you can even rent bicycles at the Bike Barn. Grab essentials at the Resort's trading posts or a bite to eat at the deli.
After checking in at the Reception Outpost with its stately stone fireplace, head to your secluded Wilderness Cabin, which has convenient curbside parking. Each cabin is approximately 500 square feet and features recent updates like fresh paint and new carpeting, furniture and fixtures. All cabins have one bedroom, one full bath, living area, private patio, charcoal grill, picnic table and a fully equipped kitchen. Housekeeping even does your dishes!
