Starting in early 2012, free WiFi internet access has been spreading throughout the resorts of Walt Disney World, including the Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground. Currently free WiFi is available and reported to be reliable on the porch of Crockett's Tavern and in the Meadows Trading Post area. Unfortunately as of early 2014, WiFi is still not widely available in the camping loops. There have been reports of being able to pick it up if you are very close to either the Meadows or Settlement, but otherwise there is still no reliable WiFi available in the camping loops. UPDATE 9/5/13 from FortFiends.net member Bdawgsc: "Just for the record about the cable modem for Internet. I got one in July. All they needed was my site number and signature. No deposit and no KTTW. I didn't have charging privileges on it even if they had asked." However as part of the overall WiFi expansion project, regular wired internet access is now available for FREE at Fort Wilderness. (Previously access was available for $9.95 for 24 hours) In order to access WDW's internet service at the Fort Wilderness campsites, you must request a modem kit at the Meadows Trading Post. The kit itself is free to borrow, however you are required to sign an agreement that says you will be charged $125 if you do not return the kit. Here is the contents of the kit and the instructions included for connecting it at your campsite (ignore the mention of the $9.95 fee - the instructions are from before the change to FREE internet access)...
