Disney adults are now GLAMPING on the Orlando theme park property… and the price tag is staggering
If you asked a Disney adult how much they love the theme parks, they would probably say that they would live there.
And, as it turns out, they kind of can.
Because The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort are now available at the park’s famous campground.
Dubbed Disney’s most natural setting, Fort Wilderness stretches across 750 acres of pine and cypress trees.
It’s been around since 1971 and offers everything from tent sites to RV hookups.
The new cabins feature air conditioning, soft beds and Disney-themed drape.
The amenities also include floor-to-ceiling windows, vaulted ceilings, plush queen beds, full kitchen, and even sleeping-bag-style blankets on the bunk beds.
There are also walk-in showers and sleek wood finishes picked out by Disney Imagineers.

These cabins include ‘camping-style’ beds as well as Disney-themed decorations
The Fort Wilderness cabins can be booked out for $469 a night
The ‘glamping’ aspect of these cabins isn’t just reflected in the design – because it also translates to the price.
The new Fort Wilderness cabins are part of the Disney Vacation Club, but if you’re not a member, you can still book one for $469 a night on average.
There are more than 350 of these luxe cabins in the works.
However, the glamping experience doesn’t just stop inside the cabin.
Each night, guests can catch a campfire singalong (complete with a Chip and Dale meet-and-greet), roast s’mores using Disney-branded kits, and watch a movie under the stars.
For those who want to lean into other camp-like activities, there is also the opportunity to go fishing, kayaking, horseback riding, and archery – although these experiences are not included in the nightly rate.
In terms of food, the campground has grocery ‘trading posts,’ fast-casual dining, and the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue dinner theater, which just celebrated its 50th birthday.
Each cabin sleeps up to six people and even allows pets.

The Donnelly’s – a family that vlogs about their life on YouTube to their one million followers – recently stayed at the cabin and documented their experience.
The self-proclaimed ‘Disney nerds and fanatics’ enjoyed arts and crafts, riding around the campground in a golf cart, and spending quality family time together.
The family of four even ventured outside of the cabins to check out the trading post, where they bought ‘tiny foods.’
Like many other Disney families that choose to go glamping, the Donnelly’s enjoyed the quaint experience being only a short stop away from their favorite theme park.
