The character "meal" that is kid-friendly, because the meal is s'mores, and parent friendly, because the price is "free" (plus supplies) and no advance dining reservation is required. A great arrival day activity. Keep an eye out for a prop from Pete's Dragon. If you don't have a bag of marshmallows you can purchase a kit from the snack bar for a nominal fee (under $10).

This is the wonderful Fort Wilderness of 1978. There’s River Country, shown in detail, as well as Discovery Island. Compare this map to Fort Wilderness in 1988; much less had changed in that decade than has changed since.

When Fort Wilderness first opened to the public it was billed as ‘The Original, Imaginative, Innovative, Exciting, Relaxing Fort Wilderness Campground Resort.’

For all that the trail once was, it still carries rugged backwoods, quiet views of the Contemporary , Bay Lake Towers, and the Magic Kingdom, and pieces of Walt Disney World history known to few and sought out by even fewer guests along its trail.
