Disney’s Firt Wilderness Resort and Campground will close at 2:00pm on Thursday as a precautionary measure ahead of Hurricane Matthew. Guests are now being ordered to leave the resort by then, rather than it being simply suggested.

Campground guests are being moved to alternate accommodations as previously reported. Disney is providing transportation for all guests to their alternate accommodations if need be.

It is Fort Wilderness Lodge, you are correct about that. However it’s the Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground that is being affected
No, it is Wilderness Lodge and Fort Wilderness Campground.
We just left FW this morning. Originally, they were going to accommodate the RVs. But as of 2pm, they were asking all RVs to leave property for Tampa or some other safe place so they wouldn’t have to take care of any damages that may happened RVs. For tent/cabin guests, they were moving to other resorts or even convention center space. Also, no promise of refunds/comp.
