50 Years of Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground & Resort

Gallery: Go Wild for 50 Years of Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground & Resort

By the D23 Team

There’s nothing like the great outdoors, especially at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, one of the original three resorts of Walt Disney World Resort. Inspired by the timeless beauty of the American Frontier, Disney’s Fort Wilderness has a beloved home to Walt Disney World guests for 50 years, where they can camp with their families, enjoy a movie under the stars, take in the twinkling lights of the Electrical Water Pageant, and so much more. To celebrate this golden anniversary, we’ve rounded up vintage photos of the resort to take you on a trip down memory lane to Fort Wilderness as it was in its opening year.
