Disney's Fort Wilderness is a unique gem situated off of Bay Lake, which means it has direct boat access to the Magic Kingdom ;) This was actually my second time staying in one of the cabins. My first experience was for one of my birthdays long ago, back in 2003. Things have changed since then and so I want to bring you the most up to date information I have on these spacious and relaxing "rooms."
Bedroom
Each cabin has a bedroom with full-sized bed as well as twin bunks. Floor space is a little cramped, but it's not a big deal because you have the rest of the cabin to sprawl out in! The bedroom also has a small closet with a curtain, flat screen TV, drawers, counter space, mirror, and side table. Remember you can click on the photos for a larger view!
Bathroom
| The bathroom comes stocked with a shower/tub combo, toilet (thank goodness...) lots of counter space, a sink, and two toilet papers rolls. There were two full towel sets on the racks and about 4 to 5 more towels under the sink. We were also given ample shampoo and conditioner bottles, which my husband LOVES. *Please keep in mind these photos are from my recent stay, and NOT what the cabin looked like upon arrival! |  |
Living & Dining Room
There is a dining table that can seat 6 total, I would say four comfortably though. One bench seat and three rustic chairs. It was nice to have a real table to sit down at for breakfasts, which we brought with us, and the one dinner that we ate in the cabin. In the living room section there was a 60+ inch flat screen HDTV on the middle far wall. It was placed between two windows, so I advise you close the curtains on either side for a less blinding view! The sofa unfolds to make an additional sleeping space for 2. Or in my family, one person takes up the whole thing ;)
There are 6 drawers under the TV and two cabinets on each side. A lot of storage space indeed. Finally, there is an ottoman and a rustic armchair for an additional seating space. Both the armchair and sofabed came in handy when my four year old spiked a fever on our second day of the trip.

Kitchen
This is quite possibly, my favorite feature of the cabins. Having a full kitchen at your fingertips is wonderful, especially when you are traveling with a 3 month old, 4 year old, and hungry husband! A refrigerator with freezer, two-burner glass top range, microwave/convection oven combo, kettle, coffee maker (with coffee and filters), toaster, and all the utensils needed to make meals. This was handy for quick and easy breakfasts. We kept all our snacks around for when we were back in the cabin and even ate a meal here one night. They also provide drinking glasses, plates, bowls, silverware, and more. It helps take the edge off of a potentially stressful vacation when you can come "home" at the end of the day.
Transportation
We brought our own vehicle with us, but we also rented a golf cart for the stay. It was $59 per day and well worth it. With my son getting sick while we were there, a spin out on the cart in fresh air really helped perk him up. Many of the places in the fort (restaurants, pools, general stores) do not have parking for standard vehicles. There is, however, plenty of golf cart parking. Each cabin has a hookup outside so that the cart can charge overnight.
