The construction of 350 new Disney Vacation Club cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground will soon get underway. Walt Disney World has filed a permit to build the cabins that will replace the current cabins currently located at the Campground.
Disney’s in-house Buena Vista Construction Company has been contracted with the permit not expiring until May 18, 2025.
Projected to open in 2024, the Disney Vacation Club cabins will be the 17th DVC resort. Disney released concept art in April of 2023. The proposed project will be “built with an eye toward the environment, utilizing the footprint of the existing cabins and taking advantage of more energy-efficient features.”
The project is part of a larger update to Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, which also includes the recent refurbishment of Trail’s End Restaurant and Crockett’s Tavern. The wooden furniture and metal picnic tables outside Crockett’s have been replaced by composite exterior seating.
The former site of Tri-Circle-D Ranch near Pioneer Hall is currently under construction with a new building, likely for Cast Members. A new larger Tri-Circle-D Ranch facility opened in June 2020.
An extension on a construction permit related to Reflections – A Disney Lakeside Lodge was also recently received by Walt Disney World. Lakeside Lodge, a Disney Vacation Club resort that was thought canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, could now be used for the construction of the new Fort Wilderness Cabins.
Happy that Disney is moving ahead with the construction of the Disney Vacation Club Cabins?
