. Do you have to actually golf to use the free shuttle service? Our solo trip next year was going to be the golfing trip so if so I can wait.

Do they have those mickey mouse golf carts on the courses?

You need a tee time for the golf shuttle service. You could take the SSR or Shades of green bus to get to the pro shops... A little less convenient. We use Uber/Lyft sometimes... It's usually pretty inexpensive just bouncing around inside WDW.

I only saw regular carts ... But they do have 'hidden mickey' sand traps!

So this thread and @supercarrie sold me even more on at least one stay at CFW, we saw the cabins and the biggest downside was the bunk bed placement and no W/D. My kid would absolutely love the golf cart need. So while more money that is a plus.

Tell me when is the best time weather wise to stay? We went in May and no chance Id have fun there in May. I dont mind being a bit cold.

Lastly, I would call these more like a tiny home. A poorly designed layout of a tiny home. I have stayed in legitimate tiny homes before and this is what they are.

No, not more competition at the 7 month mark!

We went for our test run stay in mid- February this year. Weather was perfect. Golf carts were so fun!! We also did horseback riding. Planning on doing archery on our next visit. We didn't realize you had to make reservations in advance.

We want to do all that stuff. So cool!

@VGCgroupie check out the videos of Fort Wilderness during Halloween and Christmas. There are campsites that are completely decked out. People even heavily decorate the golf carts. I can only imagine what fun activities are going on during those times.

This isn't an ideal solution for a lot of people, but we got around the layout by having my husband and me sleep on the murphy bed. I don't actually mind the murphy beds, so we liked having the bathroom, kitchen and deck access while my son slept. He sleeps like a log so no waking up for the bathroom, etc.

You are so right - I think it feels like a tiny home, not a cabin.

We did the first week in April and it was still rather toasty, but we hit a heat wave. A number of sites were decorated for Easter, which was fun and surprising. Getting in around Halloween and Christmas is tough but that would be my first pick, followed by probably February from a weather perspective.

They also just announced the pool expansion - shouldn't have major impacts on a stay, but something to consider:

That is actually a great idea. We have slept on a few murphys and didnt hate it.
