Are the cabins at Fort Wilderness becoming DVC?

Permits have now been filed for work to begin on the new Disney Vacation Club Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort. Disney announced earlier this year that the existing cabins will be converted into a new DVC property comprising 350 updated, environmentally friendly cabins.



Yes, as of 2026, The Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort have officially transitioned into a Disney Vacation Club (DVC) property. This project involved replacing the older, traditional cedar-sided cabins with over 350 "All-New" environmentally friendly, modern cabin units. These new cabins feature floor-to-ceiling windows, private decks, and contemporary interiors that sleep up to six guests. While they are now part of the DVC portfolio, non-DVC members can still book them as "cash rentals" through the standard Disney World website, provided there is availability. The transformation was completed in phases, with the final loops finishing their updates by mid-2026. This move was part of Disney's broader strategy to expand its "Home Away from Home" offerings while maintaining the rustic, woodland charm that Fort Wilderness is known for. The resort continues to offer its famous amenities, such as the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue and horseback riding, alongside these upgraded accommodations.
