WL - can you park bikes there overnight?

[lklasing]

Hi all - we have a family trip being planned for next May and I am hoping someone can answer this question. Some of the people in our group will be camping at FW and I anticipate that we will be spending a lot of time there. I will likely be staying with SIL and our kids, possibly at WL. (My first preference would be to stay at a FW cabin, but SIL is too scared it would be too much like camping and she's not a camper. ) Anyway, I anticipate there will be a lot of going back and forth between my parents at FW and us at WL and am wondering whether we could have bikes that stayed with us at WL so we could ride them back and forth to FW. I know a boat goes sometimes, but think we would enjoy biking if it's allowed. Does anyone know?

Thanks so much!

Leslie

biking is allowed.

but I think the only bike rack is the one used by Disney to rent bikes.

now in a villa at VWL you have a balcony you could store it on.

trying to remember about a bike rack at the back or front and just don't remember one. only the one at the rental shack.

you know I think some people used something close to the side door in the front. there are 2 front door at VWL - the main one that opens when you get near it and off to the side another door.

they had bikes and locked it to something there? pole?

wish I remember more.

I took my own bicycle to WL and locked it to the furniture in the room during the day when I was out. One time I was on a solo trip and ended up in a bunk bed room, so I locked it to the bunk beds. Another time I was in a regular room and locked it to the bed. I didn't have any problems. It was nice to have a bike I was familiar with to ride on.

Thanks for your comments, everyone! Locking the bike inside the room is an interesting idea, but I don't think there's any way that would work for us with 4 in the room and up to 4 bikes.

About the VWL bike racks, do you think we could use them even if we're just in WL, not VWL? Also, do you think it would be possible for us to park them somewhere out of the way if there's not a bike rack available? We'd lock them up so theft shouldn't be a problem, but I don't want to do anything that the WL wouldn't want us to do!

Finally, does anyone know a number I could call to try to find out more information about these burning questions?

Thanks again for all the help!
