Resort
Fort Wilderness is designed with a rural theme. Tortuous winding streets are winding into various areas of the resort. Part of the resort is occupied by campsites where visitors with tents or recreational vehicles can stay. The rest of the lodging area is occupied by a cabin, designed to resemble a log cabin.
Dining
The resort hosts two dinners, the Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue Music, and the Mickey Backyard BBQ. A buffet called the Trail's End and an RV themed truck are also among the resort's dining options.

The resort has a playground and two heated swimming pools. Other activities include fishing and horseback riding. The 2.3 mile (3.7 km) paved and sand training track extends from the horse farm to the Wilderness Lodge.

Fort Wilderness Railroad
Fort Wilderness Railroad ( FWRR ) is 3.5 miles (5.6 km), 2Ã, ftÃ, 6Ã, in ( 762 mm ) narrow railway line located at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & amp; Campground. The railroad provides transportation to various resort campsites, as well as to the nearby River Country water park. After an operational pilot period in late 1973, the railway was officially opened on 1 January 1974. Due to problems with minimum locomotive fuel capacity, path maintenance, pedestrian safety, and noise issues, the railway only operated occasionally after 1977, and closed. permanently in February 1980. Some parts of the track relationship remain in place along the outer areas of the camp.
FWRR uses four 2-4-2T replica steam locomotives and twenty trainers built in 1972 by WED Enterprises in Glendale, California. After the tracks were closed, locomotives and coaches were kept and forgotten for several years until they were rediscovered by Carolwood Pacific Historical Society co-founder Michael Broggie. Today, locomotives and twelve surviving trainers are privately owned by members of the Carolwood Pacific Historical Society, Jim Zordich of Boring, Oregon (Locomotive No. 1 and one trainer); Bill Dundas from Camarillo, California (Locomotive No. 2, Locomotive No. 3, and ten trainers); and Michael Campbell from Livermore, California (Locomotive No. 4 and one coach). While Locomotive No. 1 and No. Locomotive. 4 is a static screen in the backyard of each owner, the locomotive owned by Bill Dundas can be found on his private Santa Rosa Valley Railroad , consisting of 2 ftÃ, 6Ã, in ( 762Ã, mm ) narrow gauge track and 7 1 / 2 in ( 190.5 mm ) the gauge track for his miniature train. No FWRR locomotive is in operation. In addition, some trainers are still on the Walt Disney World property. Two are located at the central entrance to Downtown Disney and used as ticket booths before the transition to the current form as Disney Springs. Since then they have been sold at auction to individuals. Others were previously used as a prop in the Typhoon Lagoon parking lot before being removed and removed.
