According to Disney Parks Blog, the resort will get a new zero-entry pool and deck area alongside the existing pool, effectively doubling the space. The expansion will also include a tennis court and two pickleball courts.

Here’s the statement from Disney:

“There’s more magic on the horizon: At Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, we’re expanding the Meadow Swimmin’ Pool area to make room for even more fun and relaxation.

A brand-new zero-entry pool and deck area is being added alongside the existing pool, effectively doubling the space for guests to enjoy. The expansion will also include a tennis court and two pickleball courts, giving families even more ways to play together in the great outdoors.“
