Disney hires local contractors to make 365 cabins in 365 days
The ultimate Disney souvenir is now available on Facebook for $49,900. This is not a joke. If you’re in the market for a used tiny home of about 500 square feet that until now has lived on Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground grounds, you can have it.
Exposed ceiling beams are a design highlight and delivery is available within 25 miles of Orlando. An undisclosed number are available; the deal is good until they’re gone.
They are being replaced rapidly by new cabins that still have the rustic Fort Wilderness finishes — but less environmental impact and more creature comforts, like a basin cabinet and full kitchen. In fact, the goal is to build 365 of the new cabins in 365 days.
Fort Wilderness has migrated into the Disney Vacation Club portfolio, which is what kicked off the development of new accommodations, said Todd Watzel, senior manager of facilities asset management at Walt Disney World.
