Each cabin will have a parking space to accommodate one golf cart. Golf carts will be available to rent from Disney on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservations can be made by calling 407-824-2724.
Guests are also able to bring their own golf cart for use at Fort Wilderness. Beginning June 1, guests must secure liability insurance with limits of $100,000 / $300,000 and provide proof upon arrival. A signed agreement and waiver is also required.
