Disney is converting the Cabins at Fort Wilderness to Disney Vacation Club (DVC) Villas. What will this mean for DVC Members and Fort Wilderness guests? This story, plus the first look at the the 2023 edition of Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party (including some insider tips).Fort Wilderness Cabins being re-imagined and converted to DVC Resort OfferingIn an unexpected move, Walt Disney World Resort announced plans to refresh the cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground and convert them into DVC properties.The proposed plans call for more than 350 new cabins across all 750 acres to replace the existing cabins. The new cabins would use the existing footprint and take advantage of energy-efficient features.There is a lot to unpack in this story. We discuss many questions, including how will Disney manage having a Moderate property as a Deluxe Villa? Will additional amenities be added to keep in line with DVC standards? Will the cabins located close to the Settlement Trading Post remain, or will they be removed and only the cabin neighborhoods be converted? This and more in this episode of the show.Design concepts shared by Disney show what Disney calls "a fresh take on the current cabin experience ... while also paying homage to the resort's unique culture and heritage through the magic of Disney storytelling." The design has received mixed reviews. The one-bedroom cabins sleep up to six adults, and feature a bathroom, living room, full kitchen and private patio. A select number of cabins are also expected to be dog-friendly. In our view, the design concepts shared by Disney do not fill well in Fort Wilderness. They look more like sheds than cabins and are far too modern for the theming of this property.As with all Disney Vacation Club resorts, the cabins would continue to be open for reservations to all guests, based on availability.The planned cabins are part of a collection of improvement projects underway at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground that are designed to enhance the guest experience. Examples include proposed pool and walking trail enhancements as well as new expanded dining experiences at Trail's End Restaurant and Crockett's Tavern, with more exciting news to come.The Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort – A Disney Vacation Club Resort is projected to open in 2024 and would be the 17th Disney Vacation Club resort. As always, more details will follow and we will share them here at that time.

On this week's bonus episode, Brooke is sharing her family's experience with the 2022 DVC Member Cruise to Alaska on Disney Wonder. DVC member cruises are a unique opportunity for lots of member extras and events as Disney Vacation Club and Disney Cruise Line join forces for these unique sailings. This member cruise was also unique because it went to Alaska - many of the DVC sailings are shorter cruises, so it's always fun to hear what a longer seven-night sailing offers. We're chatting about all the fun gifts, activities and special guests onboard. Since Brooke is also a journalist covering all things Disney, including the cruise line, we couldn't resist getting her feedback on the Disney Wish, and DCL's recent acquisition of the Global Dream, as we all as her hopes for the forthcoming Disney Treasure. All that and more on this week's bonus show!
