The cabins could at least mimic the craftsman style of the Grand Californian, which is the style of the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park.
I just stayed at the cabins and I agree they need an update but not an overhaul like this just an update on the cabins. I would love for them to keep the cabin theme
Once again, Ikea cheapness….Disney, and I hate calling it Disney now, but wacky world keeps making changes for the worse….smh
It's a "Boxabl"
Tom, you have to understand that the original Walt Disney World engineering, designer's, interior designer, imaginears are retired and gone. You will never see the beauty and magic Walt Disney World was known for again….and this generation that go to Disney doesn't know any better. I've been going to Disney since 1976 and I agree with you….but you have to understand it's not WALT DISNEY WORLD anymore. Again. they need fo change the name instead of giving Walt Disney a bad rap!!!
Yep this will make Fort Wilderness a was!! These cabins are a complete embarrassment and in no way resemble a “cabin”…. They are ruining what was Disney one resort and one park at a time!! Sad times.
So sad about the cabins 😞
I hate the Epcot Spaceship Earth being lit….I wish they would stop changing EVERYTHING….it's just a ball of lights now.
Sorry I am so ready for the cabin update….they were dark and looked used.
As a DVC member, Fort Wilderness was never something that I would consider…these “cabins” have not changed my view. We splurge on vacation, why would I want to simulate something that I can do at home when I’m away. Never really made sense to us, but I do get the charm of the original Fort Wilderness. This is a step in the wrong direction for Disney.
I stayed in those as a kid when they were "trailers". I loved when they made them cabins! I feel like they look more like trailers now than cabins. When I stay in the woods I prefer a wooden cabin NOT a trailer/tiny home! Spot on Tom!
I could not agree with you any more than I do. I just spent 4 nights/5 days in a cabin at Fort Wilderness. I wanted to get to stay here before it becomes DVC, and probably out of my price range. I have bittersweet feelings on this. I absolutely LOVED it. I loved the cabin, the Fort as a whole, EVERYTHING about this resort and the cast members and guests with whom I shared the Fort. I hate that they are changing these to DVC. I'm a moderate person – I always stay in that price range. I won't be able to stay once these are DVC. Beyond that, you are spot on with your assessment of the new cabins. They look horrible. HORRIBLE. That is NOT a cabin. I'm very sad about this, and angry that this decision was made. It does seem like a money grab. The cabins were up for renovation/replacement, and opted to have DVC bankroll it. Well, that completely destroyed the vibe and the purpose of the cabins.
The cabins look more mardon more Blane I think it should be more fronter more rustic more wododies feeling that looks more like a cabin this is fort wilderness is losing it identity to me
They turned it into Pop Century Wilderness.
Ha! And I thought the "Pizza Hut" cabins (that block the views from the 1st floor rooms at the Poly) were their worst idea…..
As a DVC member and Ft Wilderness fan this makes me sad. I thought it was Toy Story themed. Those colors are all over the place. Seating for 3 in a so called cabin for 6! It honestly looks like a garden shed made from a shipping container. This makes me fear for the refurbishment at Hilton Head. The original imagineers nailed the fishing cabin theme. I'm afraid. You nailed the word. It's a shame.
Our first thoughts were “outhouses”
They could have even done a modern version of 1890’s Stick Style and it would have been great…
Something tells me the Captain Nemo food will feature tentacles. 😅
these are horrible. It's "camping" for Subaru driving, gated community, Whole Foods shopping white people who never have gotten their $190 dollar nikes dirty, cringe at the thought of mosquitoes and have never sweat a day in their lives. This is bougie garbage. I LAUGH at the morons who buy into this crap.
the new cabins are bad but idk I think the renovations at the grand floridian and contemporary take the cake for worst “modernization” 😭
I'm expecting that there will be changes to the RV/camping also. Gotta get more $$ from each square foot, and all that sense of community from the people who come their annually and do such things as the over-the-top Christmas decorations are a nuisance to be squashed.
The concept art looks like they are built out of shipping containers.
Ok, I cant take no more of the complaint videos from this channel, I really use to like this channel but is just too much complaint about anything and everything. time to unfollow..
So upset about the destruction of the cabins.
Tom of course the art will capture the spirit of the resort- there will be a vinyl sticker of a pine tree somewhere, I’m sure
So nice of Disney to hire Chip and Joanna Ganes to say “how about white shiplap, isn’t that rustic?”
"The Trailers at Fort Wilderness"
You ain't never seen a double wide this awesome!!
You can tell ther zoomer yuppies designed these cabins. They are really into those tiny house things. The original cabins where really just trailers but they were themed well. If they want to have cabins then make real cabins. I hate riviera also. It ruined the whole skyline of the Caribbean Beach resort, which was my favorite.
It is a She Shed. What did they do with the old cabins. Did they donate to the homeless? Best way to recycle.
With all the land that Disney has why don't the do a modern cabin resort and leave the Fort alone. Does this mean that the Pioneer Hall and Hoopie Dee Do Review will be not existent? This completely bums me out.
These are supposed to be rustic cabins? This looks more modern than most American houses.
Is there a rant about contemporary?
They just slap a picture on the wall and call it theming.
I like them 🤷🏿♂️
You have to remember this will now be the cheapest dvc product to offer. I’m not surprised that the theming isn’t there. They did this strategically to ensure the generic theming can flow easily for any owner. Especially owner who can barely afford it and just want to be a dvc member. Most owners that want the hard theming will and can pay more for resorts like Poly and Old Key West. At least it won’t be a rip off like Rivera where it’s lackluster, piss poor quality but cost just as much as the Grand. This is specifically for the lower income. This would work for other timeshares but would not except Disney to step this low with their portfolio. Welcome to the newest trailer park at Disney World 🤦♂️
They turned the cabins into Ikea displays filled with Pier One trash. Good job Disney. They must own stock in Universal.
I wonder why they are so determined to detheme everything?
