    The cabin is from the long gone Marshmellow Marsh canoe and fireworks activity. Just beyond the cabin was the Wilderness Swamp Trail boardwalk.

    it has been awhile since ive been at fort wilderness but if I recall correctly the other trail that leads off from the beach is an old nature walk trail. I recall going on it way back when river country was open. it has since fallen into disrepair but you can do a little of it still. I have many found memories of staying there when I was young and more of when I took my daughter. I now have 2 grandchildren and can't wait to take them and make more memories at the fort. the campground song alongs are great. I recall some of the much older cabin layouts. I think the first one we stayed in was layed out like my grandmas single wide trailer, another one had a galley kitchen in the hall.

Not looking to trade places, just when we go for ten days or two weeks, we feel we need to fit it all in bc we know a) pd huge money to be there and b) it will be awhile b4 we can come back. Our last trip to the Cabins was 2020. They needed to be replaced by then. The new buildings look very comfortable.

    I have Never done chips & dip for breakfast before in my life, never even thought of it. I've done lots of other stuff for breakfast over my time, fr9m cheesecake, to leftover Chinese fried rice, to hot dogs, to both pizza and/or lasagna, usually not together, and often either cold or warmed. One of my Dad's specialties was if we had any leftover spaghetti in pasta sauce, or roting in pasta sauce, he'd take that and saute it up in a frying pan in melted butter, and we'd eat that for either breakfast or lunch. The very 1st time I ever remember him making that for me was when I was about 3 or 4 years old, it was early morning in like May or June in New Jersey where I grew up, and my Dad was taking me fishing with hi, on the lake that we lived about 10 minutes away from by car, and that's what Dad made for each of us to eat from breakfast that morning before we left to go fish, was the leftover sautéed spaghetti , and I don't know if it was because I was still tired, or maybe I was truly hungry or a bit of both, or what but it was delicious, and clearly something that my memory has held onto from That long ago, for all that time, for what it's worth, I recently had my 59th birthday, and Dad's been passed now since 12/ 1992.

    And, apparently, Oliver also learned how to climb up onto a bed, on this trip as well, according to this video.

    Our first trip to the fort was in 2002 and a premium campsite was around $45/night. We would stay for a week or two every fall. We did that for almost 20 years. Now, Its up over $250/night. Its just become too pricey for us working class folk. We've dropped a lot of $$$ there over the years. Sadly, Disney has become a place for the "well-to-do" only. Enjoy!

    Do you intend getting a trailer and taking Charlie to the Fort next time?
