New changes for Disney's Fort Wilderness
Get ready for Disney's biggest undertaking yet with new improvements that will give guests more options to choose from while staying in the wilderness camp. After 20 years Disney will be adding extra-large camper pads, cable tv, segway scooters, mini-water park, dog park, and electric cart rentals.
Really, Fort Wilderness which has been the crown jewel of Disney World carries a lot of wonderful memories over the years. Because of so much history, Disney World has been hesitating in making any substantial changes.
Due to many new innovations in technology, the theme park needs to change in order to keep up with guest demands. Even with the Wi-Fi limited areas of access installed several years ago, recent discoveries indicate that this is not enough for their guests taste especially with the younger generation.
Many guests like the abiblity to check e-mail, news, and the market while they are on vacation. Lately, the new trend is wider and longer RV's up to 40 feet and that means constructing wider pads to accomodate these new motor homes.
Also this means that Disney has to create new campsites to keep up with the demand and charge roughly from $69 - 116 which will depand on the season.
In addition, Disney also is designing a new themed water-slide & splash-zone located near the Meadows area pool. The old Fort Wilderness abuts River Country which closed a few years ago is now being considered by designers and engineers. They will probably recycle the park's water tower and build a new water slide
These new changes are a big investment and with current high gas prices Disney is wondering whether changing the theme will be cost efective in the near future.
