BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 I figured a rehash of this post would be helpful. Of course I've also realized that it's sorely in need of updating, so I'll try and do that as soon as possible. If anyone has any additional info to add, please chime in! :o=====Since golf cart questions come up just about every day, I figured I'd consolidate some info. in one thread. Feel free to add on or let me know if any info is incorrect and I'll update accordingly.B]OFFICIAL FORT WILDERNESS CART [/bNOTE: These rules were given out as of 12/16/09 and the handout is dated 5/29/09.An excerpt from the same handout pertaining to the TYPES OF CARTS ALLOWED...Private Cart OperationPrivate carts approved for use in FW- Must be golf style carts with maximum speed not to exceed 20 MPH - Must have seating capacity for all passengers on board cart.- Passengers are not permitted to stand while the cart is in motion- Must be equipped with head and tail lights to operate after dusk- Please obey all posted traffic signs, rules, regulations, safety precautions and operational usage grid printed on the back.NOT PERMITTED - Off road, ATV, Utility or Construction-type carts. Golf cart privileges at FW may be revoked from those not abiding by the above rules. All drivers must follow the cart safety precautions.Large, noisy, or utility type vehicles are not allowed. Must be a golf cart style cart only. UPDATE: As of 1/08 leashed pets are now allowed on golf carts except in the following areas:MarinaSettlement areaPoolsComfort Stations...and other areas posted "no pets"----------------OFF-SITE RENTALS10/07/09 UPDATE:BAD NEWS folks. Word has come today from Shawn at Golf Cart Enterprises that Disney will no longer be allowing them to deliver carts to the overflow lot. They are trying to work something out with Disney but it isn't looking good. GCE does have trailers available for rent to go pick up your cart yourself and I will post more info here on that once I have it. As of December'09 Kenny/Tee Time IS still able to deliver carts. I don't know if any other off-site rental companies have been effected.UPDATE:Because of the new construction to the overflow lot/entrance to the Fort, there have been concerns about renting from off-site companies and how this may effect their ability to deliver carts. I'll post any updates as they're received, but so far this is the first report we have 7/29/10...we are here at Disney now, hope this reply works because I'm using my Kindle (too cheap to pay for internet)Kenny met us by the overflow parking lot for our gate card. He used that to get through the gate and unloaded the cart in the overflow lot. HTHUPDATE 08/23/10The following information was reported by someone just back from the Fort... Tee Time does not have an issue delivering to the fort as you know. However 10 day rental is $293.28 including delivery & pick-up. Just a slight difference in price but at least it's as of today.Golf Cart Ent. no longer delivers to the fort. I was told today I would need to pick up the cart & rent their trailer to tow it back for $50 if I want one of their carts.----------------These 3 companies have been used/recommended by people posting on this board: - Tee Time Golf Cart Rental - Golf Cart Enterprises - Golf and Electric Vehicles*****Tee Time Golf Cart Rental (Kenny)407.276.0809(no website)email:[email protected] Costs for 4 person carts (as reported by DISers in early 2009, call for current pricing)approx. $224-$240/7 days (as reported here - call for current pricing)$293.28/10 days (as reported by a DIS board member 8/23/10 - call for current pricing)$470.80/month-31 days (as reported here 6/19/09 - call for current pricing)Prices include delivery (6am - 9pm), taxes, plastic rolldown rain shield, head & tail lights, and a windshield.30% cancellation fee within 2 weeks of scheduled delivery.4 person carts only.CALL FOR CURRENT TERMS/PRICING***** Golf Cart Enterprises (Mike)407.656.0995www.golfcartenterprises.com Costs - updated 5/13/09Rates (incl. special 20% discount when you mention you found them on DISboards):4 Person cart = $244.95/7 days 6 Person cart = $330.15/7 days4 Person cart = $415.35/month-31 days (as reported here 6/19/09 - call for current pricing)Includes tax, delivery and pickup-up.

Capacity limits are not posted/enforced. 6 seater carts are available through Golf Cart Enterprises (see above) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AuburnJen 772 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 I need to go find in the RV the little handout I was given when I was stopped by the popo because I was talking on the phone and coming to the 4 way stop on NYE. I was causing such a terrible commotion stopping at that stop sign and waiting my turn at the 4 way stop. The popo couldn't understand why people were honking at me to go, and he was shoving that paper in my face. Of course, DH was on the phone wanting to know what was going on as well....ugh. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
