    I love the new cabins! I don’t care if they don’t feel “cabiny” enough to others! At least they are clean, spacious, fresh, modern, and still fits the theme of the area, especially with the high ceilings and large windows, making you feel right outside in nature 🥰 funny how that oven/stove is exactly what I have in my house 😄 Thanks for showing us!

      Honestly, they look good. It was the mock-up drawing that made it seem bad at first. But after seeing them live, its kinda cool and still keeps that fort wilderness vibe.

    1 thing about the deck off the cabin, I bet family's would love there to be a latched gate at the stairs.

  • @robinb9885
    @robinb9885 5 місяців тому +52

    Jenn talked about the cabin feeling like a home away from home. I’m the opposite. I don’t want it to feel like I am at home. I do not want to cook, do dishes or make my bed. That is why I only stay at hotels.

    • @nicb2073
      @nicb2073 5 місяців тому +5

      100% Same! 😅 I can understand it, though, with the little kids! I imagine it's so much easier for them! I don't have a young child anymore, so I want the nice hotels!!! 😊

    • @Weatheredstorms1
      @Weatheredstorms1 5 місяців тому +1

      I think some people save money by eating at their cabins vs in the parks I think that’s why they want kitchens in the cabins. I agree I wouldn’t want to have work for me on vacation. My issue with the cabins is that there is technically only one bedroom and it has three beds in it. No parent privacy and it’s a little awkward sleeping in the same bedroom after a certain age. It’s great these cabins sleep 6 but I think a different configuration would’ve been better. The cabins at cedar point have a private room for the adults and a loft area where the kids can sleep and also two pullouts to sleep 4 people for a total of 8 people. I kinda wish Disney thought a little more about the design.

    For a room without a bathtub I once saw a tip to take a mini paddling pool to put in the bottom of the shower to give little ones a bath

    • @ElizaBat-ip6cx
      @ElizaBat-ip6cx 5 місяців тому +1

      @cheriejohnson7294 now a days you could even use a short sided storage tub or a under the bed type bin.

    I’ve stayed with my family in the old cabins several times, most recently in May 2024. We truly loved staying there, but it was obvious this last time that the cabin had seen better days. That said, I will miss the “log cabin” look of the old units. The new ones are very nice, but I do wish the bathroom was not on the opposite side of the cabin from the bedroom. This means that if someone in the bedroom needs to use the bathroom during the night, they will have to walk right past anyone who might be sleeping on the Murphy bed. As someone else said in the comments, trying to maneuver past the chair and the bed in the dark could be challenging. Since the new units are DVC, I’m wondering if they will be significantly more expensive to rent for non DVC members than the old ones, which were considered a moderate-priced accommodation. Oh well, I will always remember with fondness our stays at Fort Wilderness.

    A good alternative for the s’mores indoors is if the oven has a broil button broil the s’mores on a pan on low broil for 2-3 minutes depending on how burnt you like your s’mores! But it’s perfectly cooked just like on a camp fire!

    @AnnesTimelessTravels 5 місяців тому +6

    honestly i thought i would hate them but they seem pretty awesome- and because disney charges a premium price, it is really nice to have a premium cabin. I’m not sure why people are super mad- RVs are just as if not more flashy than these cabins. The old cabins did not reflect the price point disney is asking at all, they were worn out.

    S’mores tip: You can bake the bottom graham cracker, chocolate and marshmallow for a few minutes in the oven. The marshmallow will melt the same way it does when roasted over the fire. Just pre heat the oven to 325 and bake for 5-10 min, checking often by pressing lightly on the marshmallow to see if it’s melted enough. 🙂

    In the kitchen, consolidate all those dishes, etc much more than you did. I put stuff under the sink or even in the oven if not using it.

    @jennabender8570 5 місяців тому +8

    @TheTimTracker a little "tip" for no bathtubs...we recently bought a "new to us" small RV that has no tub and we had the grandkids for a weekend, as a hack we got a small inflatable pool that fit perfectly inside the shower so we could have tub time for our 2 year old who is not keen of the shower lol. Just a thought. Thanks for sharing all your memories!!💖🇨🇦

    Love this video, thank you for sharing the new cabins with us here in youtube land lol I agree that it's so nice to be able to do your own regular cooking and hanging out while in vacation. DVC rooms/cabins make that so possible and definitely as comfy as being at home. I stayed at Fort Wilderness DVC once and it totally blew my mind having a full kitchen and even washer and dryer! Before that we would bring our precooked meals in our cooler and I'd heat them up in the crackpot while we were in the parks lol

      The best advice I can give you is to have a game plan and have each family member make a list of top 3 things what they want to do /ride ans prioritize everyone's #1 thing and then go from there, when youre going also helps determine the lines
      If you go during the off season (late April through May) (late August through September maybe early November) multipass isn't that nessesary

    On the stove top, that 5th burner on it is likely what's known as a, "warmer," section for keeping other cooked items warm till you've completed cooking the whole rest of your meal. Only stove/oven set-up here at my home, I have pretty much a similar thing.

    Seriously how lucky your family is to just stay at the campground and just enjoy that time to do a review for UA-cam. To go to DW and not feel the need to go to the parks because you get to go all the time. I want to book a trip there and not feel rushed because I need to cram everything into my stay because 1) it's far away 2) cost soooo much so I have to get my moneys worth 3) and planning, planing out daily schedule to make sure we get on rides, meet characters.
    I want to just spend a day going into all the resorts and walk around not feeling like I'm wasting a full Disney day.
    Fingers crossed one day that happens.

    If you get some wooden skewers, you can make S'mores using the stovetop. You just turn the burner on high, and rotate your skewer over the element or flame if you have a gas stove.😊

    I love the new cabins & am wondering if there is a handicapped accessible one. One for someone who is only wheelchair mobile so needs roll in shower etc. If you have the opportunity to tour one of these cabins I'd love to see that video.

    before the last cabin remodel the cabins had a full stove. when they took out the old murphy beds and remodeled the kitchen they removed the full stove..I guess it is back!
