Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground To Receive Beautiful New Barn

Fort Wilderness and Walt Disney World is a wonderful escape from the parks. Did you know you could ride horses and even ponies at Fort Wilderness?!

Today, Disney Parks Blog announced that the equine residents of both the Pony Farm and Tri-Circle-D Ranch are set to receive a beautiful new barn (which you can see pictured above). As you can see, Imagineers have redesigned the Tri-Circle-D Ranch, which will offer a modern stable and updated outdoor spaces and facilities for “The Happiest Horses on Earth.” The new ranch will maintain the history and spirit of the original Tri-Circle-D, welcoming guests to explore exhibits of classic Disney equestrian artifacts, some of which date back to the 1950s!

Starting August 19, the Draft Horse Barn and Pony Farm will temporarily be inaccessible to guests until the new barn debuts in Spring 2020. Guests can still enjoy Pony rides at the Trail Blaze Corral near the campground’s entrance, and the resort’s trail rides and carriage rides will continue to operate as normal.

How exciting is this for guests and the horses and ponies?! Do you plan on adding Fort Wilderness to your list of places to check out once the new barn opens?
