I love that idea of a stay-cation series with Kronk. I don’t know if I’ll ever own a dog, I’m more of a cat lady, but it would still be interesting to see what it’s like going to Disney with your puppers
We took our nervous 14 year old pup to stay at the Fort 2 years ago and she loved it! Have been back with her 4 times. So dog friendly and she feels at home with the cabin being more than just a single room. Give it a try with Kronk!
I love Molly’s happy lil singing. She can definitely carry a tune, but she’s probably constantly comparing herself to Alan who is like, extra musically talented. 😂❤
Kronk would love to here. The cabins are comfortable as long as you walk him and enjoy the Fort with him. Our dogs love it there when we go camping in rv. That place is just amazing and for pets is even better.
honestly this makes me so sad :( my favourite place to stay on property was the cabins and had so many good memories in them, the “old fashioned” cabins felt so much more fitting for the fort wilderness vibe, warm, cozy, cabin in the woods vibes. These new ones just feel so cold and modern and just not a cabin, it feels like renting a normal apartment they /happens/ to be in the woods? I get why people love them and I do love some of the magic details, but this just feels like such a massive loss for what used to feel like such a cozy and immersive resort :(
Very Fun! I know you called out the Fess Parker wines...however, wanted to shout out the MacMurray Ranch wines which are from Fred MacMurray's estate. (Fred's Disney legacy is awesome - Shaggy Dog, Son of Flubber, The Absent Minded Professor, etc.)
My family has been staying at Fort Wilderness since it opened, and I stayed there with my family as a kid until it got too expensive. It's interesting to see how much the cabins and campgrounds have evolved! (I remember visiting Minnie Moo at the petting zoo in the 90s and early 00s.) This was such a blast from the past!
Shout out to the Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue. It’s my favorite Disney dining experience, and definitely one of the most underrated. The best views are from upstairs.
@ Same. My sister and I first attended the revue with our mother, who has since passed away. Now, when we’re in Orlando, we return to the revue for nostalgia's sake.
We took our family of 6 to Disney World 23 years ago. The only resort that could accommodate us was Fort Wilderness Cabins. We loved them. We took the bus to the lagoon and boat to Magic Kingdom. We bought breakfast items and snacks at the grocery store. It appears to be a little too much now. BTW, the entire cost of our stay was around $7000. for 8 nights. That included entrance to all the parks for 6 from checkin to checkout, even partial days. All our children were considered adults. We didn’t need lightning lanes or tickets for special rides. The point is, we wouldn’t be able to afford it these days.
When you're at Disneyland the next time, take a detour about 2.5 hrs north and you can visit the Fess Parker Winery! It's a lovely place with lots of roses and a beautiful lawn, on a winding road through a valley dedicated almost exclusively to winemaking. Then you can visit Solvang, a Danish village that might seem like a tourist trap, but it's a pretty little town with lots of tasty snacks. and it has a year-round Christmas store!! So come to Santa Barbara County :D Fall and Spring are the best times; Summer is insanely hot in the Santa Ynez Valley, so definitely take a pass on that. It's also lovely at Christmas :)
We love dvc rental store. We just used them and will be staying at WILDERNESS Lodge next year. It's definitely worth it with so many prices at Disney going up.
Happy Sunday MAM Fam! 💚🖤💚 Some of my favorite walks have been at Fort Wilderness! There is always such a fun sense of community there, I can’t wait to actually camp out there one day!
We love camping at the fort!! We live too far away to drive our camper down so we rent one from Disney’s official partner and it’s been fabulous. Absolutely the most cost effective way to stay in the bubble for larger families. Next time you go try the gullywomper at Crockett’s tavern window while you sit on the beach and enjoy the Magic kingdom fireworks. It’s the best! 😊
Sorry, inside and out the new cabins have all the cozy charm of repurposed cargo containers. Love everything else about the resort…we haven’t stayed there, but we’ve dined at Trails End (when it was sit down), visited the horses and admired the RV decorating at Christmas. It’s beautiful there. Enjoyed the video, another vote for Kronk!
Oh my gosh, I’ve never had any interest in staying at Fort wilderness, but now I am envisioning a vacation there that involves several non-park days + extended resort time with all the outdoorsy activities and a smattering of Magic Kingdom and Epcot thrown in. Why’dya have to make this look so desirable!😂
I have a couple of suggestions for the next stay-cation. How about either the moderately priced non-disney deluxe resort? The swan/dolphin/swan deluxe. Or! The best good neighbor hotel (imo). The drury plaza. Good location. Walking distance to disney springs, free food, etc.
I would love to see Kronk Themed Video. Having 3 pups of our own, we have debated taking our dogs with us on our holidays. A view of the hotels that are pet friendly while vacation would be awesome, especially at Disney and Universal.
I stayed at this resort with my family when I was 10. I would love to stay again! I bought that Chip keychain during my last Disneyland trip for my new dog named Chipmunk! He loves his little Chip stuffie!
LETS GOOOOO! I’m so excited for this! I love Fort Wilderness ❤ Edit: Wait. CLEMENTINE’S BEACH?! As in-from the song?! As in-THE DARLING CLEMENTINE WHO DROWNS IN THE SONG?! Dang Disney 😂 That’s a little dark 🤣
Most of the videos I have seen make these "rooms" look small. But this video makes the rooms look quite large! I imagine a stay there for my family of four to be quite comfortable.
I love y’all, but you had me at Kronk….and yes please!!! I feel your feelings for your fur baby because my 126 pound pup, Texas Blu also suffers from very relatable anxiety and LOVES going “bye-bye’s” and on trips, but also has anxiety around certain things. I think he picks up on mom and dad feeling anxious that he will be anxious too. Poor thing. But definitely a Kronk-centered stay-cation would be awesome!!!
We would love a Kronk video. Only if you can do it without stressing him out. Poor guy, we don't want that. Please, please try!!! It would be awesome to see a video of Kronk being the spotlight and getting spoiled. ❤
Molly - I LOVE that Disney pullover! I can only find it in kids sizing. Can you share where you purchased it? We love the Fort. Stayed so many time when our girls were growing up and now that they are in high school they still think of that as "home". Thanks for sharing!!
Molly, I’m so glad you’ve moved on from “I’m not mad at it” to “it slaps.” being older than you I don’t use either phrase in my daily conversations, so I kind of learned how to be cool through you. just so you know. 😂
Alan’s face when Molly is backing up 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Oh and I agree 2000% doing a Cronk video 🥹 Uuuuuummm Mollys thumb ring 👀 🫶🏽 “I hate that her legs are moving” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Don’t forget that you can see and hear the magic kingdom fireworks from the beach then you have too stay for the electrical parade on the water front is cheesy but it fun
What a fun video, have stayed in the Fort Wilderness cabins several times over the years. A family favorite location, so many fun activities to do. And even when we’re not staying there Hoop Dee Doo is a must. The previous cabins had a much better Fort Wilderness feel, we call the new ones IKEA “Cabins”.
Watching other videos at the new DVC cabins you must have a accessible access room because the bathroom was set up differently. In other videos I saw there is an alcove with a mirror and table, then a door into the bathroom itself on the left.
If you guys go back, try the charcuterie at crockett’s. The little Mickey shaped cornbread crostini’s are the best. Also they have a really cool bartender there I love chatting with.
I've been wanting to take a WDW trip where I only do 1 or 2 park days and actually relax and do activities elsewhere, and this video really made me want to even more! Also, I am excited for a Kronk video!
Alan, you need to find a good riding academy where they have a riding instructor and buy Molly several riding lessons for her birthday, anniversary or Christmas gift. Find some breed specific horse shows and take her to watch and walk thru the stall areas so she can look at the horses and even talk to their owners. Also check out the Orlando Arabian Horse Club. The will be hosting the Region XII Championship show in May. Molly's eyes will pop out if you take her there! The 2025 Region 12 Arabian & Half Arabian Championships will be held at the incredible World Equestrian Center Ocala, May 6-11, 2025.
Great video as usual. I would take a Queen size bed over the X-tra Bathroom. Bummer they went with tiny full size beds - looks like plenty of room for a Queen.
Great video! Thank you! I'm curious about the Swan reserve given it's fairly new and has deluxe resort benefits. Would love if you could do a visit there!
We will be at the Fort in early December in our RV. We have camped there before and enjoy it. We do have a dog (thus the RV) who does fine at home alone for as long as 8 hours but not in the RV. She is afraid of the RV noises then all the activity at the Fort itself makes her nervous so we don't leave her alone for long. Usually hubby will go to the parks for 2 or 3 hours per day and that is it. I go to the parks more than he. We do rent a golf cart and he and the dog love riding around the Fort in it. I wouldn't stay in the cabins but that is just because I can never get an entire week from DVC rental and before they were DVC I could get a room for less elsewhere on property.
I think the new cabins look great but the old cabins had a layout that seemed like it would have been better for my family. Though we never got a chance to test that theory.
We 1000% need a Kronk Staycation series. We’ve gotten the Molly & Alan seal of approvals, we need Kronks seal of approval
❤❤❤ we need an entire Kronk series dedicated to Kronk doing Kronky things at WDW 🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕
I second this. Kronky things 🥰 lol
Yes Fam!!!
Kronky things, please 🙏
Dog family here 2cockers need Kronk staycation
I love that idea of a stay-cation series with Kronk. I don’t know if I’ll ever own a dog, I’m more of a cat lady, but it would still be interesting to see what it’s like going to Disney with your puppers
Kronk vacation! Great idea!
We definitely need a Kronk resort throw down!!
Love this idea!
We took our nervous 14 year old pup to stay at the Fort 2 years ago and she loved it! Have been back with her 4 times. So dog friendly and she feels at home with the cabin being more than just a single room. Give it a try with Kronk!
100% love the idea of Kronk having more of a presence. He deserves to be the star that he is.
Disney and dog content… a dream scenario. Please bring on the Kronk-tent!!! Kron-tent?
Molly continues to claim she cannot sing, and then continues to prove herself wrong. I am on board for Molly singing
I love it when Molly is comfortable enough to sing.
I love Molly’s happy lil singing. She can definitely carry a tune, but she’s probably constantly comparing herself to Alan who is like, extra musically talented. 😂❤
Alan’s face when he discovered the lantern was WONDERFUL
How is it possible that you both get better with each viddo. Love and watch them all !!!
A Kronk-Cation series would be so cool!
Fort Wilderness just lends itself to being a good time ! There’s so much activity and grounds to explore that make a stay here seem so worthy!
A Kronk series would be amazing! Fort Wilderness seems like the best way to start.
Kronk would love to here. The cabins are comfortable as long as you walk him and enjoy the Fort with him. Our dogs love it there when we go camping in rv. That place is just amazing and for pets is even better.
I can’t wait for Molly’s Brooks and Dunn cover to be released!🤠
Meet Jet back in September on our last trip. ❤ He was my favorite. Absolutely magnificent. He has such beautiful soulful eyes.
honestly this makes me so sad :( my favourite place to stay on property was the cabins and had so many good memories in them, the “old fashioned” cabins felt so much more fitting for the fort wilderness vibe, warm, cozy, cabin in the woods vibes. These new ones just feel so cold and modern and just not a cabin, it feels like renting a normal apartment they /happens/ to be in the woods?
I get why people love them and I do love some of the magic details, but this just feels like such a massive loss for what used to feel like such a cozy and immersive resort :(
Agreed, too modern not cabin-y enough.
...and $600 rack rate!!! Not very on-theme.
As one who owns a travel agency called Let's Galavant, I greatly appreciate your zeal for the galavant.
Very Fun! I know you called out the Fess Parker wines...however, wanted to shout out the MacMurray Ranch wines which are from Fred MacMurray's estate. (Fred's Disney legacy is awesome - Shaggy Dog, Son of Flubber, The Absent Minded Professor, etc.)
Yes. Pet friendly Disney & Universal tour!!! PLEASE WE WANT KRONK. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🦮
Being from Canada’s West coast, I wouldn’t stay at a resort that looks so much like home. But Hoop-Dee-Do is elite and, well…BEARS! 🐻
You can eat at hoop without staying at the cabins.
@ I know
Love the Fort! And you are so right, riding around in a gold cart is so much fun and the best part!!
Kronk-cation!!!!! I’m HERE for it!!!!! ❤
I would love love love seeing this through Kronk’s eyes!!
Alan’s face when Molly is backing in! LOLOL 21:35
My family has been staying at Fort Wilderness since it opened, and I stayed there with my family as a kid until it got too expensive. It's interesting to see how much the cabins and campgrounds have evolved! (I remember visiting Minnie Moo at the petting zoo in the 90s and early 00s.) This was such a blast from the past!
Shout out to the Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue. It’s my favorite Disney dining experience, and definitely one of the most underrated.
The best views are from upstairs.
I also absolutely love HoopDeeDoo! I have so many memories from this show! (My birthday, my honeymoon…..)
It is just the best.
@ Same. My sister and I first attended the revue with our mother, who has since passed away. Now, when we’re in Orlando, we return to the revue for nostalgia's sake.

We’d love to see yall do a pet friendly video in both Disney & Universal! We have an anxious pup too, and no one to help watch him when we travel.
Best Friends pet resort right next to Port Orleans Riverside
Question… if you are in a DVC rental, do also get access to DVC exclusive lounges?
Love that most of the time you get accessible rooms. Gives me ideas for my next Disneyworld vacation.
a Kronk set of videos where he rates the Disney and Universal resorts allowing pets. YES
When you're at Disneyland the next time, take a detour about 2.5 hrs north and you can visit the Fess Parker Winery! It's a lovely place with lots of roses and a beautiful lawn, on a winding road through a valley dedicated almost exclusively to winemaking.

Thanks for the great content , my wife and myself enjoy these a lot and super excited to see this one. You guys have the best job!
We love dvc rental store. We just used them and will be staying at WILDERNESS Lodge next year. It's definitely worth it with so many prices at Disney going up.
Happy Sunday MAM Fam! 💚🖤💚 Some of my favorite walks have been at Fort Wilderness! There is always such a fun sense of community there, I can’t wait to actually camp out there one day!
Not the main take away here, but good for Krystina still killing it in Hoop Dee Doo. Love her.
Kronk is a star and should have his own vacation! Would love to see that!!!
More awesome singing molly ❤mammoth clubs videos and your psa messages are simply awesome
We love camping at the fort!! We live too far away to drive our camper down so we rent one from Disney’s official partner and it’s been fabulous.

Next time you go try the gullywomper at Crockett’s tavern window while you sit on the beach and enjoy the Magic kingdom fireworks. It’s the best! 😊
A kronk-cation would really be great! We have considered bringing dogs and the perspective would really be appreciated!

Thats basically what they are. Its much more energy and economically efficient.
“Molly look” at Ursula sounded like my husband when he trolls me 😂😂😂
Kronk staycation!! Yes!!
I’ve been going to the Fort since I was a kid and I just love it.
Happy Birthday to Fort Wilderness Resort Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas Blessings and HUGS MARANATHA! 👑💜🔯🎅
Oh my gosh, I’ve never had any interest in staying at Fort wilderness, but now I am envisioning a vacation there that involves several non-park days + extended resort time with all the outdoorsy activities and a smattering of Magic Kingdom and Epcot thrown in. Why’dya have to make this look so desirable!😂
The hairdryer, “it’s long” then it cuts out & then Molly looks like she was laughing 😂 we all know what Allan said lol
This is the experience I prefer in a Disney resort! I love the cabins! I love fried chicken! 🍗
Thanks for bringing us along! 💜
Alans "Molly look. Molly look. Molly look" @51:16 had me rolling with literal tears.
I have a couple of suggestions for the next stay-cation. How about either the moderately priced non-disney deluxe resort? The swan/dolphin/swan deluxe. Or! The best good neighbor hotel (imo). The drury plaza. Good location. Walking distance to disney springs, free food, etc.
My absolute favorite resort. So many memories ❤❤❤

Thanks for showing the Fort! It’s my favorite Disney resort! ❤
Yes the campground. I have been so waiting for this! This is the only place we stay. It’s a vacation within a vacation!
You two are seriously the cutest! What a fun video!
My FAVORITE of your hotel stays!! Bummer you couldn't do the canoes or horse rides, though. Thanks for all the fabulous videos guys! 🤩
I stayed at this resort with my family when I was 10. I would love to stay again!
I bought that Chip keychain during my last Disneyland trip for my new dog named Chipmunk! He loves his little Chip stuffie!
LETS GOOOOO! I’m so excited for this! I love Fort Wilderness ❤
Edit: Wait. CLEMENTINE’S BEACH?! As in-from the song?! As in-THE DARLING CLEMENTINE WHO DROWNS IN THE SONG?! Dang Disney 😂 That’s a little dark 🤣
Most of the videos I have seen make these "rooms" look small. But this video makes the rooms look quite large! I imagine a stay there for my family of four to be quite comfortable.
Wait, so all those decorations are things that other guests have brought?! That’s awesome!!
Yep...it's the same vibe at Christmas, Valentine's etc!
I love y’all, but you had me at Kronk….and yes please!!!
I feel your feelings for your fur baby because my 126 pound pup, Texas Blu also suffers from very relatable anxiety and LOVES going “bye-bye’s” and on trips, but also has anxiety around certain things. I think he picks up on mom and dad feeling anxious that he will be anxious too. Poor thing. But definitely a Kronk-centered stay-cation would be awesome!!!
yes for a Kronk staycation in the leading role!!!💜💚
I would love a compilation on Alan's bed ratings
We would love a Kronk video. Only if you can do it without stressing him out. Poor guy, we don't want that. Please, please try!!! It would be awesome to see a video of Kronk being the spotlight and getting spoiled. ❤

I AM HERE for a Kronk stay-cation video!!
We want to bring our two corgis, who also have some anxiety. Would love a Kronk video to see how he likes it and all the activities you can do!!
Don’t forget that you can see and hear the magic kingdom fireworks from the beach then you have too stay for the electrical parade on the water front is cheesy but it fun
Simply awesome rotten to the core sing and dance along in the golf cart
Well, how dee Doo! That was fun! Y'all are to cute. 🌴🎉🤩✌️

Get down, turn around, go to town...Boot Scootin' Boogie! Thanks, now I have that in my head ;-)
Yes, that is an accessible cabin, you can wheelchair access that kitchen sink.
I need to know how Molly does her hair because it’s super cute like…always.
We love love DVC rental store as well. I prefer that over David’s DVC rental.
This looks like such a fun place to stay! I would want 2 full days there just to enjoy the resort 😊
If you guys go back, try the charcuterie at crockett’s. The little Mickey shaped cornbread crostini’s are the best. Also they have a really cool bartender there I love chatting with.
You've convinced me to book Hoop de Doo Review on my next trip! 😂
I went trick or treating with the kiddos and saw a few of those Ursula's..we had a big beautiful Mastiff with us too, and he did NOT like it either. 😉
Great video! Could you show the camping site all decorated for Christmas 🎄
I've been wanting to take a WDW trip where I only do 1 or 2 park days and actually relax and do activities elsewhere, and this video really made me want to even more! Also, I am excited for a Kronk video!

Cronk videos would be peachy king!
We were able to do 2 weeks at boardwalk for the same price as 2 weeks at Caribbean beach because of dvc rental store. Thank you!
Great video as usual.
I would take a Queen size bed over the X-tra Bathroom. Bummer they went with tiny full size beds - looks like plenty of room for a Queen.
Kronk staycation....yes, yes, and YES! He must wear a go-pro?
Okay I was watching Shrek today and I feel like Alan needs a shirt with Donkey’s line, “This would be so much easier if I wasn’t colorblind!” Lol
i think this would be as fancy as we go, and i call top bunk! I´m just about 5 feet so i think i´ll fit perfectly on the bunk beds.
Great video! Thank you! I'm curious about the Swan reserve given it's fairly new and has deluxe resort benefits. Would love if you could do a visit there!
They do offer horseback riding at Circle D ranch too, my daughter did this on our last Orlando vacation
Definitely here for the Kronktent!🎉

I think the new cabins look great but the old cabins had a layout that seemed like it would have been better for my family. Though we never got a chance to test that theory.
I really enjoy your resort videos. Thanks for sharing
Look so fun. Would love to see Kronk.
