Fort Wilderness Cabins Get a Deluxe Upgrade (and Extended Hours!)

Big news for Disney Vacation Club members and cash-paying guests! Bookings are now open for the reimagined Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort. Here's a breakdown of the updates:



What's New?

  • Deluxe Upgrade: Previously a Moderate Resort, the cabins are now classified as a Disney Vacation Club (DVC) property, making them a Deluxe Villa.
  • Extended Evening Hours: This perk, exclusive to Deluxe Resorts and Villas, lets guests enjoy select parks after regular closing times.

Booking Breakdown:

  • DVC Members: Bookings began April 23rd, 2024 (7-month rule applies).
  • Cash Stays: Start September 27th, 2024 (separate booking category from older cabins).

Important Note: Only the "Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort – A Disney Vacation Club Resort" qualify for Extended Evening Hours. The original "Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort" (Moderate) do not.

Pricing and Availability:

  • Nightly Rates: Prices haven't been released yet, but expect a premium for the new DVC cabins.
  • Cash vs. Points: DVC points or renting points allows earlier access (July 1st) compared to cash stays (September 27th).

Overall:

This upgrade brings exciting perks like Extended Evening Hours and potentially nicer accommodations. However, it also introduces some complexity with separate booking categories. For those who prioritize these perks and a modern cabin experience, the DVC option might be worth the extra cost.
