2 – Sneak Peek: Take a Look Inside the Upcoming Disney Vacation Club Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness

This week, we had a sneak peek inside the upcoming Disney Vacation Club Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness, and we loved what we saw. Disney’s Fort Wilderness has a special place in our hearts as we have enjoyed over twenty staycations at the resort. We admit we were nervous when we heard last year that the cabins would be updated and become a DVC resort. After being inside the new cabins, we realized we had nothing to worry about. We love the updated look and special character touches. Get a look inside at the link below.
