Hey Roy! For Christmas this past year, I stayed at
The Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and had the best time!
You certainly don't have to
rent a golf cart to stay in one of the cabins. Just a short walk from your cabin will be a bus stop for the resort's internal shuttle. The internal shuttle will take you places like the Settlement where you will be able to chow down like cowboys on some classic comforts like fried chicken and mac and cheese. You'll also be able to get to the Meadow Recreation Area where you can take a dip in the pool, give classic arcade games a try and spend some time in the great outdoors with
bike and
canoe rentals. Also, you'll be able to head up to the Outpost Depot where you'll then catch other buses to all of the Walt Disney World Resort theme parks, water parks and to Disney Springs. You'll absolutely have no trouble enjoying all the resort has to offer if you don't choose to rent a golf cart.
On our last stay at The Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort, we decided to give
renting a golf cart a try. We were so glad we did! Not only is it so much fun zipping around the resort on a golf cart, it's a pretty efficient use of time too. When we were ready to leave our cabin in the morning, we hopped in the golf cart and jetted off to grab breakfast or to head up to the Outpost Depot to catch the next bus to the parks. The golf cart is a nice added convenience but certainly not necessary.
