    I'm considering staying at Fort Wilderness for my 3 year old twin boys' first trip to Disney. I've read that guests rent golf carts to ride to and from different areas within the property. Are guests able to use rental cars to do the same?

    Hi Adrienne!

    Unfortunately the answer is "no".  While there are roads at Fort Wilderness, there's really no place to park besides at your campsite (an RV for example) or at your cabin.  Thus the only way to really get around within Fort Wilderness is to walk, ride a bike, use the internal bus system, or to rent a golf cart.  Of those four methods, I think the golf cart is the most fun!

    By the way, if you are staying in a cabin then I absolutely recommend having a car.  You can drive right up to your cabin and park; that will allow you to easily leave your cabin and drive to one of the theme parks.  Generally speaking, it's much faster to just drive to another park or to another hotel resort for a meal, than to take Disney transportation from within Fort Wilderness to somewhere external.  The only exception might be the Magic Kingdom.  Once you get down to the Settlement area of Fort Wilderness, you can catch a boat to the Magic Kingdom.  It's a very relaxing boat ride and something I always look forward to.

    Enjoy planning your magic vacation and write back if you have any questions!
