~Kristina~ 10 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 I know Kenny has them, but with my oh so great luck, someone would "catch him" and kick him off the property! So does Disney have 6 person carts yet? If so, anyone know the approx. cost a day? Opps, can someone move this to the appropriate forum? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

~Kristina~ 10 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Anyone know if there's a deposit on the Disney carts? If so, what's the deposit cost? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 They just take your CC# and if you don't cancel in time then it gets charged. At least that is what I remember from when we rented one a couple years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BuckeyeFortFan 35 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I worry that Kenny's days are numbered as well. On our recent trip, Mrs. BFF had parked our K-cart at the outpost bus stop parking area and walked over to the office to deal with some reservation issues. When she came back she overheard two CM's talking while they stood at the entrance to the cart parking area. The first CM was watching a woman going from cart to cart to see if her key fit in each one. The second CM mentioned asked the first about what was going on and the first answered "She doesn't rember which cart is her's." The second CM then gave the first a knowing look and said "Oh really!" The first answered "No, they are only checking the green ones." My wife got the impression these two were watching for people that might be picking up K-carts that had been left for them in that area. Even if these CM's weren't specifically watching for outside cart deliveries, they are aware of the practice and care enough to comment that this particular woman was not involved. I don't know what they would or could do if someone picked up an outside cart in front of them....I don't see them taking measures against the guest....but they are definately aware.

fotofx....Steve 34 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Doesn't seem like getting carts in and out of the Fort would be that difficult. Just load them in a vehicle with 20 or so non English speaking kids in bathing suits. Throw in a few coolers for good measure and they will let you right in the front gate.

Momoffive aka Loretta 34 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I just reserved a GC at the Fort for 1 day, not in the budget this year. I requested a 6 passenger but they said they can not reserve one. They are first come first serve. Just how that works I don't know. We'll see. I really don't see how the Fort can "crack" down on outside cart rentals. They let other outside businesses come in all the time. Why just limit one/ Yes I know they have carts to rent, but if they made the rental rate more competitive more would rent. Outside pizza delivery, food delivery, camper rentals, car rentals. Where do you stop? Seems like someone got their panties in a knot one day behind the desk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 ... I requested a 6 passenger but they said they can not reserve one. They are first come first serve. Just how that works I don't know. Yep, that's been the deal with the 6 passenger carts since Disney got them. Not sure why other than they don't have very many, but you'd think that would be all the more reason to allow people to reserve them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 That sucks! My family can't fit into a normal cart. Rent from Kenny. It should be fine. And it will be half the price. I think you have a better chance of a Kenny cart working out than being able to get a 6 seater from Disney if they won't reserve them.

thegooftroopfla 18 Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 I got a 6 seater last year. They made sure I had 6 people in my party. They also weren't very easy to give them out. We had to wait till my inlays arrived to prove we were together. They had the site next to us. I also had to throw a stink about not getting yelled at if they see me with 6 people on a four person cart. After about 20 minutes going back and forth wih the rental people we pulled off with a 6 person cart Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking everybody could just rent it, therefore it would never be available. I can hold out a little hope! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bubba G 0 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 On my last trip this month. I saw nice six passenger DS club cars. I was told they were outside weekly rentals at reasonable prices. I could ask for more details if needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

~Kristina~ 10 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 What's the best way to get a hold of Kenny? We've tried email already and nothing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 I know Kenny has at least one since momofmany has it right now. As to getting in contact with him, call and leave a message. He will eventually call you back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Calling is usually better. Keep bugging him. He can be hard to get a hold of, but once you're on his radar he's great about taking care of his customers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
~Kristina~ 10 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 I've heard not so good things about his communication, but excellent things about his customer service. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spinner...Ben 1 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 We have a Kenny cart reserved for our trip in March. Wouldn't have it any other way! Kenny rocks!!!Spinner Quote Link to post Share on other sites
~Kristina~ 10 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 What does Kenny require for a deposit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Hmm... good question! I think he's always just taken our CC# when we reserve, and charged it for the total about a week before the reservation. I don't recall him charging anything at time of reservation, but DH usually handles that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
