So, yes many changes came to Disney’s Fort Wilderness this year, but its essential natural magic remained untouched. The circle of life brought the shuttering of Mickey’s Backyard BBQ, but the birth of a new Cinderella pony. Here’s a look at 33 tweets over the last year that sum up the enchantment, the worries, the crazy, and the joy.

Fort Wilderness is blowing my mind so far. It’s like a subculture within WDW.

Coffee and English muffins amongst the trees and birds. Camping during a heat wave and severe storms has been an adventure. But worth it. ❤Fort Wilderness pic.twitter.com/NWNwKL2gLM

Yup this is actually behind/part of our campsite at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort! It’s so nice to stay on property and go back to the hotel room for the hottest part of the day. I doubt I will be able to sleep tonight because we’re going to #GalaxysEdge tomm! #DisTwitter pic.twitter.com/LE7YhAYxDw

@SirBrayden Scrims are going up to block off part of the beach area at Fort Wilderness. Looks like work on Reflections is progressing! We are bummed it’s cutting into Fort Wilderness, but we hope the new resort is awesome. pic.twitter.com/hzoyyoutop

@WDWGuestService @WDWToday last night in a really strong storm, we ended up leaving our car at the Contemporary and going back to FW. The amazing Chuck from Alabama helped us get from Fort Wilderness back to our car, safe, dry, and not struck by lightening! Thank you, Chuck!

Is there ever any actual availability at the Fort Wilderness campsites, or is it all just an elaborate hoax?

The Tri Circle D Ranch, home to the working horses of Walt Disney World for so many years. It’s replacement looks modern and new. I hope the charm of Fort Wilderness survives. #disney pic.twitter.com/yMCGd20A6Y

When I was a kid, we took our camper down to Disney World every Thanksgiving week and stayed at Fort Wilderness. My dad would grill/barbeque turkey. Some of the best memories of my childhood and why I love Disney. That is why Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.
