Stunning New Pool and Lobby Refresh at Fort Wilderness
Tucked away within 750 acres of serene pine and cypress forest, Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground is a destination in its own right. Here, you can kick off your morning surrounded by nature and wind down with a crackling evening campfire—offering a slower, more unique pace for a Disney vacation.
Unwinding at the resort is now better than ever thanks to an expanded Meadow Swimmin’ Pool area. Plus, the recently refreshed Reception Outpost ensures your arrival at this beloved retreat is smoother and more welcoming from the moment you step inside.
Make a Splash at the Expanded Meadow Swimmin’ Pool Area
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.
A Refreshed Welcome at the Reception Outpost
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.
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.
