DVC Resale Fort Wilderness
Disney’s Fort Wilderness has long been a favorite destination for families who enjoy the outdoors, and with the addition of DVC’s Cabins at Fort Wilderness, buyers on the resale market now have the chance to own at one of the most unique resorts in all of Walt Disney World. Nestled among 750 acres of pine and cypress trees, this resort combines the peaceful atmosphere of a wooded campground with the comforts of a private, fully-furnished cabin—and it’s just a short boat ride away from Magic Kingdom.
The new DVC cabins are replacing the old Fort Wilderness cabins and are designed with DVC members in mind. Each standalone cabin includes separate living and sleeping areas, a full kitchen, a private deck with seating, and the capacity to sleep up to six guests. For many families, that’s a perfect blend of space, privacy, and home-like amenities without the need for elevators, shared walls, or long indoor hallways.
The theming is classic Fort Wilderness—rustic charm meets modern convenience. Interiors feature wood tones, warm colors, Disney art accents, and thoughtful layouts. You’ll find comfortable beds, spacious bathrooms, a dining area, and large windows overlooking peaceful forested surroundings. And yes, pets are welcome at select cabins, making this a rare DVC resort that can accommodate four-legged family members.
One of the highlights of staying at Fort Wilderness is the wide range of outdoor activities available right at your doorstep. Rent a golf cart and cruise the scenic trails, go horseback riding at the Tri-Circle-D Ranch, explore the walking paths, enjoy canoeing, kayaking, or try archery. In the evenings, the Chip ‘n’ Dale Campfire Sing-Along brings guests together for songs, s’mores, and movies under the stars.
There are two main pool areas on property—the Meadow Swimmin’ Pool, which includes a water slide, hot tub, and kids’ splash area, and the quieter Wilderness Swimmin’ Pool, perfect for those seeking relaxation. Unlike traditional DVC resorts, Fort Wilderness feels more like a small community. It’s laid-back, family-focused, and ideal for guests looking to slow down while still having access to all the magic of Disney.
Dining is another major perk of owning at Fort Wilderness. The legendary Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue is right on-site—a long-running dinner show filled with music, comedy, and all-you-care-to-enjoy Southern fare. For quick and casual meals, P&J’s Southern Takeout offers hearty dishes like fried chicken and BBQ ribs. Trail’s End, while now operating in a quick-service format, still delivers that hearty, comfort-food experience guests expect from this resort.
Transportation is a breeze. Guests can catch a boat directly to Magic Kingdom, and internal buses connect different areas of the campground. You’re also close to other Magic Kingdom resorts such as Wilderness Lodge and the Contemporary, giving you easy access to even more dining and entertainment.
On the resale market, Fort Wilderness DVC contracts are generating attention due to their full 50-year deed, flexible layouts, and family-friendly appeal. Buyers who prefer ground-level accommodations, private space, and a natural setting often find this to be one of the most appealing options in the DVC network. Unlike high-rise tower resorts, these standalone cabins offer a residential feel that many buyers find comforting and relaxing.
If you're looking for a DVC experience that doesn't feel like a hotel, the Cabins at Fort Wilderness might be the perfect fit. It’s ideal for multigenerational families, pet owners, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone looking to enjoy a peaceful getaway with all the magic of Disney just minutes away.
The resort offers an entirely different pace—a return to simplicity, quiet evenings on the porch, morning walks through the woods, and unforgettable memories without ever stepping foot in a theme park. It’s this balance of tranquility and convenience that makes Fort Wilderness stand out in the DVC resale landscape.
