We will be checking in early and want to know if Fort Wilderness has Bell Services where we can leave our luggage if our cabin is not available when we arrive. This is probably a silly question, but where will we be able to park our car while waiting for our cabin to be ready? I'm assuming there is a parking lot near the check in lobby, but wanted to make sure before we arrive.

How early can you get your golf cart? Can we get the cart the same time we check in?
 
I have never stayed in the cabins, but I am sure they will allow you to park in overflow parking while you are waiting...you could always leave your luggage in your car if they don't have Bell Services. If you look up a map (unless they changed it- it has been 7 years since I've bee eeek!!!) you will see the large overflow parking area next to where you would check in for the cabins. Not sure about the golf carts, we never got one while we were there...
 
Look what I found on Allears.net a much better source than my brain lol...


What can I expect at check-in?


Check-in at FW is essentially the same as at other Disney resorts. If you're staying in a Wilderness Cabin, park at the Reception Outpost and check in at the front desk. If you're checking in early, you may store your baggage in the secure storage area behind the front desk. Here you will receive a your Magic Bands, and a portfolio containing park maps, an information sheet with park hours, and a Fort activities sheet. If you would like charging privileges on your Magic Bands and/or you would like to use express checkout, you can do so by providing the Cast Member (CM) a credit card at this time.

If you are driving your own vehicle or rental, you will then be given directions to your Cabin. If you do not have a vehicle, you will be driven to your Cabin via an electric cart.

Guests in recreational vehicles and those planning to tent camp remain in their vehicles and register at one of several drive-through windows at the Reception Outpost. Be aware that if you are arriving late in the evening, the drive-through lanes could be closed and you will check-in at the Reception Outpost.

If you are checking into a campsite and your site is not ready, you will be asked to park in the lot by the old Fort Wilderness kennel. You'll be given a phone number to call to find out when your site is ready. You can either stay there with your vehicle or you can go enjoy the parks and move into your site when you return.
 
Golf carts are available after 1 PM.
You can receive a text message when your cabin is ready if it's not available when you check in.
