Credit: DisneyThe Walt Disney World is finally opening its new Disney Vacation Club location to Guests, the environmentally friendly forest-themed Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort.
As part of its frequent company-wide refurbishment efforts, Disney announced last year that it would be updating the Fort Wilderness Resort with new energy-efficient features and amenities while still maintaining the same fan-favorite activities and atmosphere.
The Disney World vacation spot is located across over 750 acres of woodlands in Central Florida, and each cabin will reportedly sleep up to six adults (with some locations able to accommodate pets). The cabins will also feature amenities like 65-inch televisions, full kitchens, including dishwashers, and multiple sleeping options.

While the initial impressions of the refurbished Cabins were not entirely positive, we will have to wait and see how Guests react once it is fully open to guests. Disney World has struggled in the last several years with dwindling attendance but bounced back in a big way at the end of the year to record sales of passes. Doubtlessly, Disney hopes that new, updated amenities like this will keep that momentum going.
