At Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort (and the nearby Wilderness Lodge), pool hours are somewhat seasonal and can be subject to change based on weather and lifeguard availability. Generally, the main feature pools—the "Meadow Swimmin' Pool" at the Campground and the "Copper Creek Springs Pool" at the Lodge—typically open at 10:00 AM. During the peak summer months or busy holiday periods, they may open as early as 9:00 AM. The pools usually remain open until 10:00 PM or 11:00 PM. It is important to distinguish between the feature pools (which have slides and lifeguards) and the "leisure" or "quiet" pools (like the Wilderness Swimmin' Pool at the cabins or the Boulder Ridge Cove Pool at the Lodge). The quiet pools are often accessible 24 hours a day for swimming, though they are "swim at your own risk" when lifeguards are not on duty (usually after 8:00 PM or 10:00 PM). If you are looking for the waterslide or poolside activities led by Cast Members, those typically start around the same time the main pool opens (10:00 AM). You can always find the exact hours for your specific stay posted on the "Recreation" board in the lobby or by checking the "Wait Times" or "Map" section of the My Disney Experience app.
