One of the most exciting new additions coming to Disney World in 2024 is the introduction of 350 all-new cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort. These cabins, which can sleep up to six people, are far from your typical wilderness accommodations. From the renderings, it is clear that these cabins offer a high-end and luxurious experience just a short boat ride away from Disney’s Magic Kingdom.
What makes these cabins even more appealing is that they will be a part of the Disney Vacation Club (DVC), allowing guests to book them with cash or rent DVC points to potentially save on the cost. This opens up more opportunities for guests to enjoy these new cabins at a more affordable price.
So, what exactly are these new DVC cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort? For those unfamiliar, Disney’s Fort Wilderness is a massive campground that offers tent camping, RV camping, and rental cabins. The 350 new cabins will reuse the existing cabin footprint but will be completely renovated and redesigned.
Each cabin can accommodate up to six people and features a queen bed, twin bunk beds in the main bedroom, and a pull-down Murphy bed in the living room. The cabins also come with a full kitchen, outdoor patio, and charcoal grill. Additionally, some of the cabins are dog-friendly, allowing guests to bring their furry friends along for the adventure.
The opening date for the DVC cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort has been announced as July 1, 2024. However, the opening will be phased, meaning not all cabins will be available on that date. Existing DVC members have the opportunity to add on to their membership to purchase a membership for these cabins starting February 1, with the ability to book beginning February 15. For those looking to buy their first DVC membership for this property, they can do so starting February 27. Memberships at other DVC resorts will be able to book this property with their points starting April 23. Cash bookings have not yet been announced.
In terms of pricing, if you choose to book with DVC points that you own or rent, the cost will start at 15 points per night during the lowest season (September 1-30). Rental prices for DVC points vary, but typically range from $21 to $23 per point. This means that prices for the new cabins start at $315 per night when rented through David’s Vacation Club Rentals. Prices can go as high as 36 DVC points per night during peak times like Christmas and New Year’s. Cash prices directly from Disney have not yet been released.
These new cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort are just one of the many exciting additions coming to Disney World in 2024. The construction of a new tower at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is also underway, with an estimated completion date in late 2024. This tower will also be a part of the Disney Vacation Club.
The addition of these cabins is particularly exciting for Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort, as it offers a unique Disney vacation experience. Guests can explore the vast grounds on golf carts, enjoy horseback riding, take archery classes, visit Cinderella’s ponies, and revel in the more relaxed and spacious atmosphere compared to other parts of the Walt Disney World resort.
In conclusion, the 350 new cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort are set to bring a new level of luxury and comfort to guests visiting Disney World in 2024. With their high-end amenities, close proximity to the Magic Kingdom, and inclusion in the Disney Vacation Club, these cabins are sure to be a top choice for families and Disney enthusiasts alike.
