GoLobos 1 Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Hello all, Can someone PM me a good contact on where to rent a golf cart for this coming Christmas holiday? We had a cart lined up but the company no longer provides the service. Thanks for any help you can give. GoLobos Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AuburnJen 771 Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 We have an information page on this very thing. Go to the tabs section at the top of the page and click on info and there should be a post about the places to rent. Enjoy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mikeypro 32 Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 By the way, Jason (Katman1356) is a travel agent. Knows all things Fort related...and a really nice guy. He can hook you up with a seriously good golf cart rental company. Yes, this is a shameless plug, but I just met him at the Fort last month, and he promised to give me a .00012% commission on anyone I referred his way. Which gives me .0000032% off a Disney beer.

MousingAround 0 Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 We are going to the Fort for the first time in April, 2015. We have reservations for three weeks in the 100 loop. I would appreciate hearing from folks whether a GC is necessary or a splurge. We would like to go to the pool, check out movie night...and maybe make s'mores. Thanks everyone.

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 It's not a necessity, but it is fun. There's no way I'd rent from Disney for 3 weeks. You could almost buy a cart for that amount. There is an internal bus that you can take to both those areas, and if you're in the 100 loop, you can walk to the settlement easily. Do you have bikes? Kids? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would appreciate hearing from folks whether a GC is necessary or a splurge.As others have pointed out, not a necessity - but really nice!! Even renting off site it will be expensive for three weeks. Also remember, your reservation is for a level of site - not a specific loop, in your case Preferred. You could end up on 100, 200, or 300 as all of these are Preferred. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ependydad...Doug 176 Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Another golf cart question - we are coming to the fort for the Hoop Dee Doo Revue. Is there any chance of renting a cart for just an evening through the Fort? We'd like to do some looping to check out the decorations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do the wagon rides still go through the loops? What day will you be there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What day will you be there? No idea about the wagon rides. Do you mean "carriage rides" or is that something different? We'll be there Thursday, December 18. And, unfortunately - we won't even have our vehicle since it'll be parked out in the parking lot since we're not staying at the fort. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 The wagon ride is basically a hayless hay ride. I think it is $5 per person first some first served. its a big wagon that holds like 25 people and takes you around a few loops. Price might be off I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks, Jason. Looks like you're sort of right: "Wagon Rides children $5 or adults $8 / 25 minutesTake an old-fashioned, horse-drawn wagon ride on a scenic tour through Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. Available on a first-come, first-served basis, wagon rides depart daily at 6:00 PM and 8:30 PM (weather permitting) from the front of Pioneer Hall.These 25-minute wagon rides cost $8 for Guests ages 10 and up, and $5 for Guests 3 to 9 years of age." https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/recreation/tri-circle-d-ranch/ Interesting, I think that 8:30 wagon ride may work well for us. Our Hoop Dee Doo is at 6:15. We should be able to stumble fat and happy out of there and onto the wagon ride. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's only a whole day rate, but that doesn't mean you can't just use it for the evening. I think the shortest time frame is one day. Do the wagon rides still go through the loops? What day will you be there? We were in 300 and multiple wagons and carriages came through out loop every night. They don't hit them all, but usually go through at least a few of the ones closest to the Settlement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We'll see what we do. But I did just reserve a golf cart in case that's the route that we want to go. I'm excited, it'll be the daughter's first time driving! I hear there are no rules at the fort...
