Question re: golf carts

[kakiegirl]

We love camping and we love Disney, however after our stay 2 years ago we decided camping and Disney together were not for us. Now we are back from this years trip staying at All Star Movies and I am already thinking ahead to next year. I guess our main complaint with the campground was it took so long to get anywhere having to wait for a bus to come to your loop then wait for another bus to the parks. Driving is not an option DH likes to park the vehicle when we go to Disney. We did not rent a golf cart last trip so I don't rember how it works. I know if you rent a golf cart you can drive it to where you take the boat to MK but can you park it at the bus stops to the parks. Thanks!

They do have a parking area for golf carts up front by the main bus depot. If you are thinking about renting a golf cart, I would call ahead and reserve one. When we were there earlier this month they ran out.

I second that - golf carts can be parked anywhere and reserved ahead of time.

Yes, golf carts make life much easier. By the way, they are expanding the parking for golf carts at the Meadows. I saw them working on it last week.

I know exactly what you mean...our family LOVES camping , always have, but whenever we went to the fort back in April, I didn't enjoy it at all, don't get me wrong the FT campground was wonderful but I felt as if I was working myself to death. I hated having to take time out of my vacation to clean the tt which by the way looked like a tornado hit it the whole 2 weeks we were there, I didn't want to cook because, hey I was at WDW, and just stayed to pooped. The transportation seemed to suck the life out of me, by the time we got anywhere it was at least an hour ( always more ) since we left the tt. We had a brand new golf cart, and we did enjoy riding around the campground, but I much prefer the feel of a resort, it just seems more disney to me, coming in from the parks to find your room all nice and clean, going out to eat without feeling guilty because you have a kitchen you could have cooked in. Now camping at the beach I wouldn't want to go any other way...it's just to me camping at WDW, just seemed to wear me down. Plus the money we spend on gas this last time I could have stayed at a moderate resort for about the same. My negatives for a resort are, I have a real phobe about sleeping in a bed hundreds of people have slept in, and now I have a puppy that I love and don't want to ever leave with anyone.

Wow, thanks for that update! I was wondering when they were going to considering they've upped the parking in all the places. Look forward to checking out the new "parking lot" when we're there next!

That was always the most congested one, I mean, there was what, enough room for 5-6 carts? Then people would just park along the sides and the grass, plus you had cars parking there and coming in and out, it was a very congested area during busier times.

Not sure how the new layout is going to be, but hopefully this will really ease up the maneuvering for us golf cart drivers!
