Disney Shares New Pool Area and Refreshed Lobby at Fort Wilderness

Disney Shares Closer Look at Fort Wilderness’ Expanded Pool and Refreshed Check-In Experience

Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground has welcomed guests for more than 50 years, and now this beloved woodland retreat is offering even more reasons to spend time away from the parks. Disney has shared a closer look at the resort’s newly expanded Meadow Swimmin’ Pool area and refreshed Reception Outpost, both of which recently debuted for guests.

The biggest addition is the expanded Meadow Swimmin’ Pool complex. A brand-new zero-entry pool and additional deck space have been added alongside the existing pool, nearly doubling the available swimming and lounging area for guests. The original 67-foot corkscrew waterslide remains a centerpiece of the pool, giving families even more room to splash, relax, and enjoy a resort day.

Disney also included a fun tribute to the resort’s history. Guests visiting the pool area will find a vintage-style barrel carriage featuring Mickey Mouse dressed in camping gear, along with a nostalgic nod to River Country, Walt Disney World’s very first water park, which once operated adjacent to Fort Wilderness.

The updates continue inside the Reception Outpost, where guests now enjoy a refreshed arrival experience. New artwork above the fireplace features Mickey Mouse and friends enjoying the outdoors, while additional decorative scenes showcase Huey, Dewey, and Louie taking part in classic Fort Wilderness activities like fishing, camping, and archery.

Of course, Fort Wilderness remains much more than just a place to sleep. Guests can spend the day horseback riding, canoeing, exploring the Wilderness Back Trail Adventure, trying their hand at archery, or cruising the sprawling resort by golf cart or bicycle. As evening falls, favorites like Chip ‘n’ Dale’s Campfire Sing-A-Long and the legendary Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue continue to make Fort Wilderness one of the most unique resort experiences anywhere at Walt Disney World.
