This music was the stuff of nightmares. I had to mute it from the bathroom thru the end. Don’t know if there was ever dialogue & I wasn’t willing to risk hearing anymore of that soundtrack. The cabin looks cute, tho & more like what it really is which is a park model RV.

This is what happens when people accustomed to an upscale lifestyle decide that they know what's best for others and decide to upscale everything until it becomes homogenized and loses it's charm. They sure do have a love affair with "oil rubbed bronze" metal fixtures in this place. At least the walls have giant decals to remind you of how much fun you used to be able to have, but are absolutely not having now.

There's ways of modernizing rustic to keep the feel of a cabin in the woods. This isn't it. The "cabins" don't belong in Fort Wilderness. The filming was fine but I'm not a fan of the music overlay without narration. Hopefully, Tom will say here so we can get a proper room tour. Edit: On a second watch through I'm guessing the guy in the video works for Disney hence no narration. Lol. But the music was still terrible. Lol

How do these poor replacements for the cabins have anything to do with the wilderness theme? Other than a little art, the answer is NOTHING!

@phillyguy199 Ай бұрын

Look folks, let's call a spade a spade. Not that there is anything wrong with a trailer park, but this is a trailer park. The entry deck and ramp look like a Home Depot weekend project, while the interiors are bland. Also the first thing one sees upon entering is the side of the refrigerator? So much for Disney sightlines. Fairly notable is that even the Disney artists couldn't bring themselves to depict these trailers in the Chip and Dale poster :-/

I'm not sure how you inferred that I want to preserve Splash Mountain or have a problem with Tianas.

@JB.abcdef Ай бұрын

Just doesn't feel like Fort Wilderness. I think they cleared out some trees :(. I appreciate that everything is refreshed, but they could have kept the unique flavor of the resort. And if they were going to make changes, why are the kids' beds still right next to the parents' bed? That was my biggest complaint about the old cabins, so I was hoping they would separate the sleeping areas in the new ones. The kitchen appliances are nice, I guess, but the outdoor view is terrible. You look out the window, and there's another eyesore pod. Just way too plain and unfinished looking. It's like IKEA came to Disney.

And a cesspool of humanity in an indoor steamy “water park”. No thinks! Maybe it’s good for people who get 6-months of winter. We live near Disneyland and our kid always wanted to stay the night there, so we did for their 16th birthday last year and they brought a friend. Room was nice, food was good, but that waterpark was as humid as Florida in July! Fine if you are outside in Florida, but not so good inside amid wet and sweaty people!
