"Looping" - without a golf cart?

[LiteBrite]

I hear you guys expound on the joys of looping at the Fort in your CGs all the time, and it sounds like a lot of fun.

However, no way no how is hubby going to go for the expense of renting a golf cart just for that purpose (or any other :rotfl2: ). I could see doing it on a bike, but we aren't planning on taking those this trip. Obviously you could also just hoof it on foot, but would it be weird to just slowly drive our vehicle around the loops for sightseeing purposes?:car: :sail:

it's a pain when you are following cars, but i guess you could do it. Just make sure to wear your bra.

Oh Tag Fairy, what have you done to me?

I would work on DH till you get at least 1 night golf cart rental out of him, maybe he'll love it and won't be able to stop himself like the rest of us. The speed limit is very slow so you won't look like stalkers anyway in your vehicle.

[bigdisneydaddy]

Tell him if he REALLY loved you he would rent a cart for a day or 2. :lmao:

[Rhonda]

FW does discourage this however. They say to use your car to go to and from your campsite. You can also use it to go to the trading post -- there are a couple of parking spots there. But, I'm sure nobody would stop you if you were take a "roundabout" way there. :)

I would use 2Goofycampers suggestion though, and see if you could just rent a cart for one day!

I agreed too..... what about me ?

Sorry! I think we posted at the same time! I didn't see your post before I started mine! :goodvibes :thumbsup2

[CaptKen]

Simple solution. Just tell hubby that you will be taking a wheelbarrow and his job will be pushing you around the loops in it.

[Gatordad]

Oh Tag Fairy, what have you done to me?

i saw wearing a bra, and got all pubertyesque.

[CampingChristy]

If you do do this, please be real careful of all the kids on their bikes. Because there isn't much traffic AT ALL I wasn't afraid to let the DD ride her bike without me on top of her watching her every move. I would be disappointed if this happened a lot while I was camping at the Fort. Just my honest opinion. Hey take your bikes, we had ours along with a GC and I loved looping on our bikes!!!:cool1:

Hmmmmm. Why am I not surprised???????

[des1954]

Pete... you have such a two track....errrr no, make that THREE track mind.

1) Beer

2) Gators :sad2:

3) Wimmen!!!

In reply to OP's question.... I don't recommend driving around the loops in a car or truck. If someone is having a difficult time backing their rig into their site, you may get stuck in a loop for awhile as you cannot turn around and go back.

Tell DH to bite the bullet & get a cart for one day, at least!!:thumbsup2

[LONE-STAR]

I could be wrong but I thank you can rent a cart for 1 hour for around $20.00
But I would call the bike barn to check.

[AuburnJen92]

bite the bullet, it will be worth it...

[djblu883]

i rented a cart for the first time last trip and LOVED it and now I'm addicted!!! I've been keeping a lookout for a used one to buy and customize ever since!!! Talk hubby into it for one day...or earn some money yourself just for that reason...selling your kids used clothes on ebay and surprise him!!! My daughter makes big bucks this way!!! He will be proud of you and everyone will be happy...its a win win situation!!!:hippie:

Looping without a golf cart, isn't that like flying without an airplane??? :rolleyes1

Looping has to be on a golf cart, or it would just be called exercise.

[LiteBrite]

Thanks for the thoughts, everybody - I especially like the wheelbarrow idea!

I will work on hubby, but he is... how shall I put this. He is WONDERFUL, SWEET, LOVING, FABULOUS, but, ummmmmm..... thrifty (*cough*cheapcheapcheap*cough*). :rotfl2:

He may be a cheapskate, but he's MY cheapskate. :love:

Mr.Goofy here! Wanna throw in my two cents. Don't know if you or DH would want to go to the expense but, Sams Club sells a real nice (one person )electric scooter with a comfortable seat. It travels as fast as the golf cars, loads of fun and is very convenient. I think they cost bout $300. We had a couple of these before we bought our buggy and they worked out great.

[stacktester]

Bike looping is not all bad. Surferrat and I rode all the loops except 1500 and 2000 in about 45 minutes.

the best thing, is that number 3 is more fun with number one, number one is more fun with number 3, and number two is not correlated to one or three.

[chief19spixi]

OMG!! you see thats why I say inside my camper!!! Too many guys out there just loopin the loops all boozed up starin at us wimmen!! But thats ok... you just don't know that we do it to you guys too.. were just more descreat (sp) about it!!

[BigDaddyRog]

LiteBrite...If we were going to be at the fort during the same time, Id let you guys use my cart one night for a few hours. I bet your hubby will be on the lookout to buy one after looping a few times.

Wow in our family DW wears the pants lol. I just do as i'm told. On a serious note. Rent a cart. Heck the last time we went to Disney we stayed (GULP) at POP and we still rented a cart and looped the Fort. We had time to kill before Hoop Dee Doo. Love looping. I'm thinking when we head down next year to bring colored wigs and a sign saying "Were loopy for the Fort" With a canadian flag under it and look like this guy :clown: . We canucks love the fort too.

[John VN]

We've been going to FW for 25+ years and have never used a golf cart. We enjoy the dreaded walking method or the bicycling method.

On the many visits with our young grandchildren, I would pull them in a trailer behind my bike and now that they are getting bigger we will all ride together.

[ChristusG]

Gotta say, looping is so much fun! My hubby is a cheapskate too, but after looping a few times, he even thought it was pretty fun.

I looped for the first time at only 9 years old.....shhh, dont tell Disney LOL! My dad let me drive around and I blew right through a stop sign. See, that's why 9 year olds dont drive LOL!

[Tent Camping Mom]

With us, it was just the opposite. I was the cheapskate and DH was the one wanting the golf cart. We had bikes and I couldn't see the reason why he would want a cart. Well, it only took one loop around with the bikes...he complained the whole time that his scrawny little tush hurts. That same day I got a cart and have done it every time now. Hmmm....strange, he never complains when we take the bikes to WL or when we're not camping at the Fort. :rolleyes1

[Conan the Librarian]

We walk everywhere. The Fort just isn't that big.


If you plan things right you can take the walking trail shortcuts around the Fort.

You walk 5 miles a day in the parks, what is an extra 1/2 mile or so.

Do they allow small gas scooters? They're only 49cc and very very quiet.

Welcome to the Camping Board.....the rules state no gas powered, but we see gas golf carts all the time. I would say as long as you don't attract any attention to yourself, and obey all the other rules you would be fine.

Thanks for welcome!

Yea, I'm not going out there to bring attention to ourselves, but they give conflicting information. The say no to Gas scooters, but at the same time, they say yes to street legal scooters (which ours are).

We're very excited to go as I haven't been there since the early 80's and my wife has never been. :dance3:

Gas powered golf carts are ok as long as they are not loud.
