112: Fort Wilderness Tips, Jollywood Nights with Kids, and Why We Love Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort

This week on The Well Hello Magic Podcast, we’re taking you on a full Disney journey that spans Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground at Walt Disney World, the Jollywood Nights holiday party at Hollywood Studios, and the peaceful, relaxing escape of Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort. If you’ve been searching for real reviews, tips, and honest experiences on Fort Wilderness campsites, Disney RV camping, DVC beach resorts, or what Jollywood Nights is like for families, this episode is packed with everything you need.

We start with a deep dive into Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, a massive 750-acre outdoor resort that truly feels like its own little world. I talk about our full experience camping in an RV at Disney, how it felt as a family of six, and why living in an RV is absolutely not my ministry… but also why I completely understand the cult following this campground has. Fort Wilderness is known for being one of the cleanest, safest, and best-run campgrounds in the country, and you can feel that Disney quality everywhere. We cover the different Fort Wilderness campsite types, RV hookups, transportation options, and all the incredible amenities like horseback riding, archery, boat transportation to Magic Kingdom, playgrounds, pools, golf carts, and the beloved Chip ‘n Dale Campfire Sing-A-Long. If you’re looking for budget-friendly Disney accommodations, this is one of the best values on Disney property—and we talk about why.

We also chat about our Resort Christmas Tour, visiting holiday decorations at Fort Wilderness and Disney’s Contemporary Resort, and why exploring Disney resorts during Christmas is one of the most underrated things to do at Walt Disney World in December.

Next, we jump into a full breakdown of Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, giving you an honest look at what it’s like to attend this event with kids. We talk about the differences from attending as adults, what the entertainment felt like this year, how long the lines were, the food, the photo ops, and the new Party-Saurus Rex experience that everyone is buzzing about. If you’re researching Is Jollywood Nights worth it?, Jollywood Nights review, or tips for Jollywood Nights with kids, this part of the episode is for you.

Finally, we wrap with our stay at Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort, one of the most peaceful and unique Disney Vacation Club properties. This resort is the perfect blend of Disney magic and beach relaxation. We cover the amenities, the pools, the Disney Beach House on Hilton Head Island, bike rentals, fishing docks, playgrounds, family activities, and the incredibly friendly cast members who make this resort feel like home. Since Hilton Head only offers quick-service dining, we share our tips on making dinner reservations on the island and how to plan meals for your trip. The beaches were cool during our stay, but the kids still played for hours—and we’re already planning a return visit.
