Fort Wilderness Resort has added new space to its Meadow Swimmin’ Pool and refreshed the look of its Reception Outpost. The updates give guests more room by the pool and a smoother arrival when checking in.<\/p>\n

Meadow Swimmin’ Pool Gets More Room<\/p>\n

The Meadow Swimmin’ Pool area now includes a new zero-entry pool and additional deck space next to the existing pool. Together, the changes roughly double the amount of pool space at Fort Wilderness Resort.<\/p>\n

Guests can still take on the 67-foot corkscrew waterslide, or spend the day relaxing poolside or swimming.<\/p>\n

The pool area also includes a nod to Walt Disney World history: an old-fashioned barrel carriage with Mickey Mouse dressed in his camping gear, along with a tribute to Disney’s River Country. River Country was the original Walt Disney World water park, located next to Fort Wilderness before it closed.<\/p>\n

\nReception Outpost Refresh<\/p>\n

Fort Wilderness Resort has also refreshed its Reception Outpost, the first stop for guests checking in. The updated space gives cast members more room to greet arriving guests and help them get settled before heading out to the resort’s cabins and campsites.<\/p>\n

New artwork above the fireplace shows Mickey Mouse and friends enjoying outdoor activities along the water, matching the resort’s rustic setting.<\/p>\n
