As we walked around, we also noticed that the walkway near Seaside Retreat was blocked off.

It appears it has been blocked off to allow some renovations to take place.

We’ll keep an eye on this project. Peep the hidden Mickey in the carpet!

For both the Yacht and Beach Club Resorts, we saw a recreation sign detailing when the Movie Under the Stars would be playing this week. What a fun and magical way to end an evening in Disney World.

Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campgrounds — General Updates

We were in the mood for a bit of an adventure so we left the world of yachts and beaches for some good ‘ole wilderness fun at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campgrounds.

Fort Wilderness

There, we found a Movie Under the Stars schedule for that resort — ooOooo Meet the Robinsons is showing some nights, so fun!

Movie Schedule

We also spotted some families using the Assay Station. If you’re looking for this spot, it’s near the Meadow pool and the Bike Barn. 

Assay Station

To use this, you’ll first need to grab a bag of mining rough enriched with real gemstones. You can get this bag from the Bike Barn window.

Then, you place part of the rough from the bag in a screen bottom box.

Finally, you dip the box in the sluice and watch the gemstones pop up as the soil washes away!

Assay Station

Sounds like an incredibly fun activity!

Meadow Trading Post

We also spotted some new-to-us merchandise at Meadow Trading Post, but a kind Cast Member told us these items debuted at the end of last year. Still, they were absolutely adorable! There was a Fort Wilderness mug…
