If you've ever visited Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground then you know how unique this Walt Disney World Resort truly is! It's the perfect mix of Disney magic, while enjoying the beauty of the great outdoors. Nestled on 750 acres of pine and cypress forest, this one-of-a-kind resort invites guests to slow down with peaceful mornings in nature, evenings around a crackling campfire, and plenty of opportunities to explore.

We've got great news! There's even more to enjoy during your stay, thanks to an expanded Meadow Swimmin' Pool area and a recently refreshed Reception Outpost that makes your arrival smoother and more welcoming than ever. Check out the details recently dropped by Disney Destinations!


The resort experience begins from the moment you arrive, and recent updates at the Reception Outpost help make that first welcome feel even more seamless and personal.

Rustic lodge lobby with wood beams, chandeliers, red front desks, polished floor, and an EXIT sign.

The refreshed space allows cast members to connect with guests as they arrive and help families get settled before heading out to explore everything Fort Wilderness has to offer.

Above the fireplace, new artwork adds a playful layer of Disney storytelling to the entry area, featuring Mickey Mouse and friends enjoying outdoor adventures along the water in a scene that feels right at home in the resort’s rustic setting.

As you look up, you will also spot three playful scenes featuring Donald Duck’s nephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, enjoying some of the activities that make a Fort Wilderness stay so memorable, like archery, fishing, and camping beneath the trees.

The Meadow Swimmin’ Pool has always been a favorite place to cool off between adventures, and the recently expanded area makes room for even more fun and relaxation.

A new zero-entry pool and additional deck space have been added alongside the existing pool, effectively doubling the space for all to enjoy. Whether you prefer a relaxing swim, kicking back poolside, or heading straight for the 67-foot corkscrew waterslide, there are plenty of ways to make the most of a sunny resort day.

The rustic setting also includes a special nod to a piece of Walt Disney World history. Keep an eye out for an old-fashioned barrel carriage featuring Mickey Mouse in his camping gear and a tribute to Disney’s River Country, the original Walt Disney World water park that once welcomed guests next door to Fort Wilderness.
