Fort Wilderness Warning
Disney's Fort Wilderness has now started another big refurbishment project on the Big Pine Trail Sidewalk.
Due to soil erosion, extensive work will be required along this sidewalk.
This work is now underway and is expected to continue through mid-October. The fall sees a huge influx of Guests staying at Fort Wilderness. We have our fingers crossed that sidewalk refurbishment will be completed on time.
How will this affect Guests?
While we understand the need for this refurbishment due to soil erosion, refurbishment is never fun. Guests can expect occasional detours and path closures due to this work.
