Magic Kingdom Resort Area
The Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort
Pine-shaded paths, the sound of horse hooves on dirt trails, and your own freestanding cabin with a private porch and grill. Fort Wilderness delivers a distinctly different DVC experience — closer to a cabin holiday than a hotel stay.
About this resort
The Cabins at Fort Wilderness opened in 2024 as the newest DVC resort at Walt Disney World. Each accommodation is a standalone two-bedroom cabin with porch and outdoor grill, set among the trails and waterways of Disney's vast Fort Wilderness campground. Boat service connects directly to Magic Kingdom across Bay Lake.
