Welcome back!
Disney's Fort Wilderness offers some of the best and most varied activities of any resort at Disney World. We love to just visit the Fort Wilderness area for a day filled with fun, inexpensive activities.
We love the horseback trail rides that last about 45-60 minutes and cost around $45 per person. You get to explore the Florida wilderness on the back of a horse, like a real cowboy! We do suggest reservations and you meet your horse at the Tri-Circle D Ranch in the Outpost section of Fort Wilderness.
If the full horseback ride is not your thing, you can go on hay rides, carriage rides, wagon rides and your little ones (under 80 pounds AND under 48" tall) can take a pony ride for just $5! You can barely get a drink for less than $5 at Disney and here at Fort Wilderness, you can ride a pony! Bring cash or your Key to the World card, though, because they don't take credit or debit cards. Just around the corner from the pony rides, you can visit the Fort Wilderness stables where all the Disney World horses are kept.
Maybe you just want some play time for the kids. They can play at the playground down by Bay Lake, while you relax on a picnic bench, nearby. Or, you want to try your hand at fishing (you can rent poles down at the marina). Possibly, you want to go for a hike -- Fort Wilderness has an extensive trail network. The possibilities go on and on.
It's why we always recommend that guests visit Fort Wilderness, if they're looking for a day away from the theme parks. It's not like any of the other Disney resorts and offers so many inexpensive and free activities for your family. Plus, they have some of the best food and dining entertainment anywhere in the Disney World Resort (in my humble opinion).
I did a quick video overview of Fort Wilderness and it's activities.
