Hi Becky,
Thank you so much for visiting planDisney with your question. My family absolutely loves a stay at
Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort. We love the rustic feel of this resort, but with all of the modern amenities you expect from a Walt Disney World Resort!
Renting a golf cart at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort is a great idea. The resort is large, and not all of it is accessible by car, so having a golf cart is a great way to get around! I called and spoke with a Cast Member at the golf cart rental at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort. They let me know that the guaranteed pickup time for a golf cart is 1:00 p.m. So, if you have a reservation for a golf cart, it is guaranteed to be ready at 1:00 p.m. However, they do open at 9:00 a.m. Therefore, you can go to check if a golf cart is ready for you starting at 9:00 a.m., and there may be one available. Just be aware that one is not guaranteed for you until 1:00 p.m.
Let me offer you some of my favorite places that you could go once you have that magical golf cart to zoom around on! Do be sure to check out the many
recreation options at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort. From canoe rentals to pony rides to archery, there is so much to do and experience at this resort! As night falls, be sure to check out
Chip 'n' Dale's Campfire Sing-A-Long. This fun event includes a campfire at which you can roast marshmallows or make s'mores, songs led by a cowboy, a visit from Chip 'n' Dale, and a movie under the stars! It is a lovely experience. We have great memories of my daughter there with her uncle, roasting marshmallows and singing songs.
I hope that this information is helpful for you, Becky! Please do feel free to come back to planDisney with any further questions you may have!
