Sleigh Rides Offered for First Time at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground
If you say “sleigh ride” — thoughts of Florida rarely follow. But this holiday season, there’s a new experience that may just change that. For the first time, Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground is offering horse-drawn sleigh rides through the woods at Walt Disney World Resort.
Beginning on November 29, a fire-engine red sleigh with garland and holiday lights will take you through parts of the 700-acre backwoods resort. The magic-makers at the resort’s Tri-Circle-D Ranch have equipped sleighs with tires for rides around property. Four adults or two adults and three children should be able to ride on each sleigh.
You’ll depart from the Blacksmith’s Shop near the Settlement area inside Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground and travel into the forest on each 25-minute ride. It’ll cost $60 for one group to ride and children ages 17 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
Sound fun? Let us know in the comments. You can also book the experience by calling 407-WDW-PLAY.

The article includes a photo of the sleigh... Sounds cool, but sleigh rides while wearing shorts, sandles, and t-shirts aren't very Christmasy...

I am surprised this had not already been in place.
I have seen other warm locales doing this for a while now.
Sleigh rides are a lot of fun, but having grown up in N.E. I struggle with not having snow, and being bundled up. |

| Sounds like a lot if fun! Never been on a sleigh ride despite all the time I've spent living in cold and snowy climates! |

And what's a sleigh ride or a hayride without a flask or a bottle of wine hidden somewhere on your person.

Add a little of what Figmentathm has in his flask and you have a party.  |
