WDW Radio # 677 - Hidden History: The Fort Wilderness Adventure House and Sadie Mae's

Listen on

Episode notes

Journey with me back in time for a piece of Walt Disney World’s Hidden History and a well-developed concept that you probably never heard of - The Fort Wilderness Adventure House. We’ll look at the origins of this “funhouse” (including when it was going to be called “The Roost”), Marc Davis’ designs and gags, changes, relationship to a classic Disney attraction, and take a virtual walk-through. We’ll explore the concepts for the Fort Wilderness Stockade and Western Town (aka Fort Wilderness FrontierTown) and also look at another lost concept, Sadie Mae’s Palace, that would have significantly changed the Fort Wilderness Resort as a whole.
