Fort Wilderness Christmas Decorations and Golf Cart Parade 2013, Photos and Video
Hi everyone!
We had a great time on Christmas Eve at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort, enjoying the Fort Wilderness Golf Cart Parade and the decorations around the resort. We met lumberjack Donald Duck and ate dinner at Trails End (our traditional Christmas Eve meal). I do need to eventually write up a Trails End review, it is a favorite of ours!
There are several golf cart parades at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort during the year. The biggest is for Halloween, and the other two are Christmas Eve and Fourth of July. We try to make all of them! The guests of the resort decorate their golf carts, some of them elaborately! One of our favorites in the Christmas golf cart parade was this Tangled golf cart.
Another favorite was this gingerbread house with a gingerbread man running alongside. Smoke was blowing from the chimney, which I didn’t notice until we saw the cart again later.
Everyone wanted to know how this guest was able to get Rudolph on the roof!
A Santa hat adorns the roof of this cart.
Here is our video of the Golf Cart Parade at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort! Donald led the parade.
We went to the Settlement, passing by this Hello Kitty, Mater and other Christmas decorations!
When we made it to the Settlement, some of the carts were passing by. I’d missed this fire hydrant with a real dog on the back!
Here is the steam billowing from the gingerbread house golf cart.
We walked around Fort Wilderness from dusk into evening, enjoying the elaborate decorations from the campsite guests. They always offer great displays to look at!
Sleigh rides were just beginning. Both wagon rides and horse-drawn carriage sleigh rides are offered during the holiday season to give guests a close-up look at the decorations.

Santa was arriving to meet with guests. Hot cider was provided for guests meeting Santa, and he handed out candy canes.
We met Donald Duck in his lumberjack costume!

This incredible house was encased in glass – there are so many tiny Disney details inside of it!

Almost everything has Mickey Mouse on it. There is a tiny Mickey with a phone, Mickey cups, and so much more!
Donald waves from the window. This was spectacular in how much work clearly went into it!
This is the first leg lamp I’ve seen at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort – I hope not the last! 🙂
