Fort Wilderness Guests Asked to Prepare Ahead of Potential Hurricane

That Walt Disney World area has been issued a Tropical Storm Watch. Guests staying at Fort Wilderness are asked to prepare for the storm.

Tropical Storm

Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. Typically, most hurricanes hit during August, September, and October. September is considered peak hurricane season in Florida.

For travelers headed to Disney World during this time of year, it is important to be prepared and stay aware of weather conditions. This includes packing extra items like battery chargers, medications, and baby supplies. We suggest turning on all weather alerts and closely monitoring severe weather patterns right before and during your vacation.

Tropical Storm Helene is heading towards Florida. You can read more about the impending storm HERE.

Fort Wilderness Resort

Fort Wilderness Campground is commonly known as “The Fort.” People travel from all over just to camp at the Fort Wilderness Campground without ever stepping foot in a park!

It is part of staying at The Fort to decorate your campsite. Guests will go out loopin’ to check out all the different decorations, and these decorations do not disappoint.

The campground has a following all of its own. People love to participate in the holidays, and they go all out when decorating their campsite and golf carts no matter the season. Be sure to check out our complete resort guide to The Fort HERE.

What Guests Need to Do

At this time, Disney World has not announced any operational changes to its parks. However, Guests staying at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground have been asked to prepare for high winds on Thursday, Sept. 26.

The letter Fort Guests are receiving states: “all Guests remove and stow outside items, including decor, and take in camper awnings. We ask for your assistance and cooperation in removing these items by 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 25.”

If Guests would like to depart early or help with other alternate options they can contact 407-939-2744. If Fort Guests have any other concerns, questions, or additional needs they can go to the Front Desk or call 407-824-2727.
