The new DVC Fort Wilderness Cabins have officially opened! We’re sharing a full tour of what you can expect from the new accommodations.

The newest Disney Vacation Club property has officially opened! Disney Vacation Club celebrated the opening of the first phase of the new cabins at The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort. These beautiful cabins are nestled in the woodlands of Walt Disney World, offering one-bedroom cabins that can sleep up to six. We were among the first to see the stunning new property, and we’ll be sharing a full tour of what you can expect inside.

Fort Wilderness Cabins Tours

The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort are the 17th Disney Vacation Club property, and will continue to open in phases throughout the year. Once completed, there will be 350 new cabins in total. When designing the cabins, Walt Disney Imagineers drew inspiration from the surroundings, intending to infuse Disney magic with the rustic environment. Each cabin can comfortably sleep up to six guests, including a main bedroom, bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, living area, dining area, and outdoor patio. There are even dog-friendly cabins available to bring your pet along with you.

The cabins are also unique for their sustainability. They were developed in collaboration with two Florida businesses, and each cabin was produced with less than one percent metal waste. They were also constructed to help preserve the beauty of the resort’s wilderness, and are each equipped with an on-site electric vehicle charging station.

Outdoor Porch

Heading up to the cabin, you’ll immediately find an outdoor porch with a table and chairs where you and your group can enjoy some time outdoors. In typical Disney fashion, there are plenty of little details to look out for, such as the Mickeys carved into each of the chairs!

The area sits right up against the full floor-to-ceiling windows of the cabin, making the entire space feel particularly wide and part of its natural surroundings. This would be the perfect spot to enjoy some snacks and refreshments after a long day in the park, or for a midday break from the hustle and bustle.

Living Room and Kitchen

Heading inside, you’ll find the fully equipped kitchen as well as the living area. The kitchen comes with a dishwasher, full-size oven and stove, full-size refrigerator, and all of the amenities you could possibly need. As a Disney Vacation Club property, you’ll find plates, utensils, and cookware inside for you to use. Additionally, there’s a dining area with chairs for everyone to enjoy a meal together (or simply a quick breakfast before heading to the parks).

The living area has a television, couch, and seating area attached to the kitchen, so you can all be out in the room at the same time. Additionally, there’s a murphy bed that pulls down over the couch, so you can sleep up to two more people.

Bathroom

If you go to your right upon entering the cabin, you’ll head towards the bathroom. Outside the closed bathroom is a vanity, with a sink and mirror so that multiple parties can get ready at the same time. Inside the bathroom is a larger vanity, along with a toilet, stand-in show, and cabinets that come equipped with an ironing board, drawers, and more space.

Just like everything else in the cabin, the bathroom makes really great use of the space that it has. It feels particularly spacious, and makes great use of space for storage.

Fort Wilderness Cabins Bedroom

The bedroom comes with a queen-sized bed along with bunk beds, meaning you can sleep up to four in the room. There’s a television, small open closet space, and dresser drawers for all of your storage needs. Additionally, there are more drawers located at the bottom of the bunk beds. One of my favorite parts of the bedroom was the small Disney details located throughout. For example, above the bed you’ll find artwork of Chip ‘n’ Dale, characters that are heavily present throughout the entire design.

On the wall, there’s artwork with postcards including one for River Country, the original Disney World water park that had been located at Fort Wilderness. And in the artwork of the bunk bed, you’ll see Chip ‘n’ Dale depicted, including alongside a calendar reading November 19, the original opening day for Fort Wilderness. The cabins are a beautiful new additional with modern details, all while still paying homage to honor the history behind this beloved Disney World Resort.

Thank you to Disney for hosting us during the DVC Cabins at Fort Wilderness media event including a preview of the new cabins, a tour of Tri-Circle D Ranch Stable, a Fishing Excursion on Bay Lake, and a Golf Cart rental.
