A Week in a Fort Wilderness Cabin WITHOUT a Golf Cart?
Our buy4get3 stay in a cabin at Fort Wilderness is booked and we reserved a golf cart for the duration of our stay.
Cost quoted when I made the gold cart reservation is $439.88 for a check-in to check-out rental - they consider a 7 night stay to be a 7 day rental so that amounts to $62.84 per day. That's a real chunk of money, at least to me it is.
We rented a golf cart for our last FWcabin stay and used it every day both for gong to the Outpost to catch park busses and the landing to catch boats and for running around Fort Wilderness. We told each other we would always rent a golf cart for future FWcabin stays.
During our stay we regularly saw the Fort Wilderness busses making their way through the campground but the stops seemed to be basically at the 'top' of each cabin loop and it looked like using them would add wait, transfers and aggravation... and extra walking when a vacation with a theme park visit almost every day includes a lot of walking already.
My fellow cabiners, do you rent a golf cart? For some of your stay or all of stay? If you don't, is there a strategy to follow besides know where your bus stop is and use internal busses?
We're Renting From an Offisite Vendor
We'll be trying another alternative for our upcoming trip.
Thanks to an excellent tip I received from another Intercotee I was able to arrange a rental from an offsite vendor for $247.63 all in for the same period that Fort Wilderness wanted to charge $439.88 - a savings of $192.25
The person I spoke with was 100% organized and pointed out his company's carts meet FW's rules for Golf carts including lights and windshields.
I'll let you all know how it turns out.
