Saddle up, partners! We’re headed to the wilderness. Fort Wilderness, that is. What brings us out into the great outdoors? We’re glad you asked!
Fort Wilderness
Disney surprised a LOT of people back in 2023 when it announced a total Fort Wilderness Cabins MAKEOVER. The new Disney Vacation Club Cabins at Fort Wilderness are completely new, and we got a chance to check them out! Want to see them for yourselves? Giddyup, let’s GO!
The old log cabin-style rooms are GONE. Imagineers have completely redesigned those rooms to become the Disney Vacation Club Cabins at Fort Wilderness Resort (note you don’t have to be a Disney Vacation Club member to book a stay in a new cabin). Here’s a peek at the OLD design. Prepare to see a MAJOR transformation!
Fort Wilderness cabin
Look out for over 350 refreshed cabins. Just as we saw in the concept art, the new design features sleek, modern cabins, which Disney explained are “inspired by the resort’s idyllic setting, while also paying homage to the resort’s unique culture and heritage through the magic of Disney storytelling.” The cabins will sleep up to six adults and feature one bedroom, one bathroom, a living room, a full kitchen, and a private patio. Some cabins are also dog-friendly.

OK, enough waiting! Let’s check out the NEW cabins! Each cabin features a full kitchen with coffeemaker, toaster, sink, dishwasher, dishes…
Kitchen
…microwave, oven and stove, and full-size refrigerator! We love the sleek countertops and backsplash.
Appliances
There’s also a dining table in case you want to eat in while you’re staying in these new cabins!

In the main living space, there’s also a couch and television…
Couch that turns into a bed
…and the couch pulls down from the wall to turn into a twin-sized bed.

There’s also a leather chair with a small side table in front of the window (that we weren’t quite allowed to see yet!) But, peep the details on those curtains! We spot Chip ‘n’ Dale!
Seating area
The bathroom is rather spacious and features a sink with vanity and cabinet space just on the outside…
Vanity
…along with a spacious vanity inside the bathroom as well. It’s right next to the toilet, so there’s no separate water closet here.
Vanity
The shower features two different showerheads, including an adjustable one!
Shower
You’ll find Disney-branded body wash, shampoo, and conditioner affixed to the shower wall.
Toiletries
Let’s check out the bedroom! You’ll find a queen bed along with two twin-sized bunk beds. This is a cabin, after all!
Bedroom
In addition to the beds, the bedroom has a dresser and closet space, along with a TV!

Here’s another view of those bunk beds. Each oar is themed after a different Disney character! Can you figure out who is who?
Bunk beds
The bunks and regular bed are separated by a nightstand and lamp.

We just love all the touches in here — we think Chip ‘n’ Dale would, too!
So many cute touches!
These new cabins are set to open on July 1st, 2024. If you want to get WAY up close and personal, you can virtually tour the new cabins below, too!
