Holiday Fun at Disney's Fort Wilderness Campground Resort

Snow-birds know that there's no place like home for the holidays - especially if you make your winter home at Disney's Fort Wilderness Campground Resort! This resort really comes alive at the holidays because guests have a tendency to bring the fun right back to the campground with them. The woodsy environment, and the fresh smell of woodsmoke simply puts a smile on my face when there's a chill in the air. This classic Disney resort packs a big punch when it comes to holiday travel.

Limited Time Magic: Week 44

The ghostly goings on for Halloween week at Magic Kingdom are some of my favorite all year long. This week only you can be entertained by the spooky song stylings of the Cadaver Dans as they haunt Frontierland. From 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, head to the Diamond Horseshoe Saloon to enjoy the re-styled "The Happy Haunted Horseshoe." This special Limited Time Magic is fleeting though, so be sure to attend while the veil is thin.
