Getting To Disney’s Fort Wilderness
It is recommended to arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled showtime. Doors will open at 4:00 pm, 6:15 pm, and 8:30pm, and seating will begin immediately. There are a few options for guests to get transport to Disney’s Fort Wilderness:
Using Disney Resort Transportation
It is possible to use Disney’s buses to get to Fort Wilderness, but you will need to transfer at least one time as there are no direct routes from Disney Resort hotels or Disney Vacation Club resorts to Fort Wilderness. Be sure to allot plenty of time for this method of transportation.
Taking Your Own Vehicle
If you are able to drive to Fort Wilderness or use a ride-sharing service, you can park, or be dropped off right in front of the Outpost Bus Depot, which offers buses directly to Pioneer Hall, where the show takes place. It’s recommended to allow for about 30 minutes to get from the Outpost Bus Depot to Pioneer Hall.
Taking The Ferry From Magic Kingdom Park
It is also possible to take a ferry that originates at Magic Kingdom, but it’s recommended to set aside up to an hour and a half to make the trek.
What To Expect
Getting To Pioneer Hall
When you arrive at Disney’s Fort Wilderness, you will need to make your way to Pioneer Hall, which is in the North section of the property.
