The first time I went camping at Disney’s Fort Wilderness i was surprised at how many people had golf carts that they brought with them or or rented them at the campground.. I couldn’t get over how expensive they were. The cost to rent a golf cart at Fort wilderness is 43.00 a day. Ouch.

Last time we went I did break down and rent one0- they were SO much fun. I took kids all over the pace and was easy to go anywhere. I can see how it would become addictive!
If you can afford it I would at least get if for day just for the fun of it.
Don;t even thin of letting kids drive- there a very strict about who drives the cart- you must have a valid drivers licence.

You rent the golf carts at the Bike Barn in Fort Wilderness and you can also call and reserve one at (407) 824-2742.
You should probably reserve it if you think will will want to rent- they can go pretty fast.

I can’t believe I have never mentioned the refillable mugs at Fort Wilderness (and rest of Disney Resorts) . As of last year they made all the mugs look the same for all resorts- not the familiar beige and russet colored ones anymore.
You can buy your mug and use to refill at Trails End or with coffee at the store. It became morning ritual for my kids and I to hop a buss and go fill up. My kids would get a hot chocolate and I a tea. As with all things Disney- depending on staff that will really do up a nice hot chocolate with whip cream for kids.
Hang on to your mug- you can use them over and over again- year to year!
You can get refills for coffee many types of tea, pop, lemonade and hot chocolate.

We just got back from long trip- 2 weeks were of which were spent at Fort Wilderness. I heard several rumours about prices for next year. We were pretty annoyed by the Fort Wilderness rate changes THIS year- were you paid a daily rate rather then the price of your first day regardless of season.

Well- hang onto your hiking boots- what I am hearing now is that next year there will be NO Value Season - or any other season for that matter! There will be a flat rate- the more expensive one- year round!

I heard this from several people and also enquired at front desk where they knew nothing… ( if you have been to Fort Wilderness before you will not be shocked by this). We had planned our holiday this year around value rate and paid twice as much as last year for the bulk of our trip… Next year we will have to re-examine going for any length of time if we have to pay 70/night to CAMP. The facilities are great- no complaints.. but 70.00 to camp?? Ouch.

If you have any thoughts or info on the he rates for 2009= please comment!

What are the best campsites and best loops at Fort Wilderness?

This is one of the most frequently asked questions and one people are MOST reluctant to answer- mostly our of fear that if they broadcast it- they won’t be able to get their favourite sites…

Without Question the most sought after and loops that are considered the best in Fort Wilderness are Loops 100 and 400. Both are preferred loops- and preferred prices tag. They are private and have a “trail” that lead right to comp store and all the activity. If you are on these loop you will never have to take a bus anywhere. Another good loop is 900.

None of the sites at Fort Wilderness are awful but these are considered to be these best campsites and loops in Fort Wilderness-Disney World.

This was quite odd- i had called a couple of times to see if they could apply discount and they couldn’t. I called this morning about something else to try- the woman was very helpful- and she said no- it couldn;t be applied. I called back AGAIN to ask about Internet access- which is terrible btw :-), and asked yet again- we are talking about 10 minutes later- and he was able to apply- was a significant amount- 150.00 difference and all I did was call back and get a different operator.

Let me know if you got a discount with your CAA/AAA or any other type . This discount applies to Fort Wilderness Disney Campground.
