Hi Nancy,
From one Illinoisan to another, I'm dreaming of our next Walt Disney World vacation, too, as Spring weather cannot get here quick enough! Yes, it is true golf carts are very popular at Disney's Fort Wilderness as the grounds are quite large, and can be rented by the day or week.
Although prices are subject to change, currently the daily rate is $59 plus tax and can be reserved up to a year in advance. To set your reservation, be sure to call the Fort Wilderness Outpost at 407-824-2742 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. daily.
While at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort, try to fit in the
Chip 'n' Dale's Campfire Sing-A-Long. It's a hidden gem amongst the complimentary entertainment you'll find around Walt Disney World property, AND with Disney Characters!
Thank you for your great question, Nancy, and feel free to visit us again!
