The Lobby of Fort Wilderness to Undergo Renovations This Fall

Disney has announced that the lobby area of Fort Wilderness will undergo renovations from early October to early November. The resort’s lobby is located at The Outpost, which is considered the resort’s main entrance. The Outpost is also home to the resort’s primary parking lot and bus station. Here is the official announcement from the Walt Disney World website regarding the lobby work.

From early October to early November 2025, the lobby at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort will undergo renovations. Guests may hear or see maintenance in the area until work is complete, and the check-in area may be moved to a modified location nearby. Upon arrival, please follow posted signage and reach out to a Cast Member if assistance is needed.

If you’ve been following along with our coverage of Fort Wilderness, you know a new resort, Lakeshore Lodge, is being built immediately next door to the Settlement area. We have a preview of the construction progress from last month here if you would like to see a few perspectives from unique angles.

Fort Wilderness is also undergoing extensive construction in an area adjacent to the Meadow Pool area. A new pool is currently being added to the resort. That announcement is available here: Pool Expansion Coming to Fort Wilderness.
