Disney
Vacation Club has officially welcomed its first guests to the newly
designed cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort in Lake Buena Vista,
Florida.
Nestled in the woodlands of the Walt Disney World Resort,
the cabins embrace the wonders of the wilderness in a relaxing retreat where
guests can enjoy the comforts of home blended with the excitement of staying in
the great outdoors.
“The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort are nestled
right in the heart of such a beloved resort and will be the perfect place for
our Disney Vacation Club Members to create new vacation memories,” said Bill
Diercksen, senior vice president and general manager, Disney Vacation Club.
“Providing families with new ways to experience the magic of Disney is at the
core of everything we do, and we cannot wait to welcome our Members and Walt
Disney World Resort guests to this special property.”
Disney Vacation Club's 17th property was
commemorated with a fun-filled celebration in Pioneer Hall at Disney’s Fort
Wilderness Resort & Campground. Diercksen reflected on the locale’s vibrant
history, followed by a special entertainment moment inspired by the
Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue.
The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort will open in
phases throughout the year and eventually consist of more than 350 new cabins.
The cabins are part of a collection of improvement projects underway at
Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground to enhance the overall guest
experience.

Walt
Disney Imagineers have drawn inspiration from the cabins' peaceful surroundings,
infusing a touch of Disney whimsy to create unique accommodations dedicated to
preserving the resort’s heritage.
Floor-to-ceiling glass windows bring the beauty of the
outdoors into each cabin, while charming original artwork adorns the interior.
Each cabin features nods to the resort’s early days along with some familiar
faces, including Mickey Mouse, Pluto and the dynamic chipmunk duo, Chip and
Dale.
Each one-bedroom cabin can comfortably sleep up to six
guests and includes a main bedroom, bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, living
area, dining area and outdoor patio. Dog-friendly cabins are also available for
those looking to bring along their furry friend.
In addition to the experiences and features that members
expect from Disney Vacation Club, the cabins were built with an eye toward
sustainability in support of The Walt Disney Company’s environmental goals.
Through an innovative process developed in collaboration with two Florida
businesses, each cabin was produced with less than one percent metal waste and constructed
to preserve the natural beauty of the resort’s wilderness. Additionally, each
cabin is equipped with an on-site electric vehicle charging station.
Disney Vacation Club members and guests staying at The
Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort can enjoy a myriad of family-friendly
recreation options ranging from equestrian trails, fishing and archery to
poolside relaxation and timeless dining experiences. Guests can also take
advantage of the resort’s ideal location, just a short boat ride to the Magic
Kingdom Park.
