Disney World’s New Fort Wilderness RV & Golf Cart Policy: All You Need to Know

Hey Disney vacationers! If you’re a Disney fan who loves to explore the great outdoors or travel with the comforts of an RV, Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground is probably one of your top destinations. Walt Disney World has recently announced new policies for RVs and golf carts at Fort Wilderness, ensuring everyone has a smooth, safe, and magical experience while roaming the pine and cypress forests. Let’s dive into the details of the new Fort Wilderness RV & Golf Cart Policy to help you plan your stay.

Understanding the New RV Policy

The new RV policy aims to streamline the experience for visitors traveling with their rigs while ensuring everyone stays secure and comfortable.

Renting an RV?

• We have several Disney Featured Providers guests can use to rent an RV at Fort Wilderness. When guests choose to rent through one of these providers, the guest does not need to be present when the equipment is delivered to the resort. The provider will work with Disney Resort Cast Members to manage deliveries, set-up, and returns of rented RVs.

Bringing an RV?

• RVs are welcome and must be brought in by registered guests

Navigating the Golf Cart Rules

Golf carts are a popular mode of transportation at Fort Wilderness, helping guests easily navigate the sprawling campground. The new golf cart rules prioritize safety and efficient movement throughout the resort.

Renting a golf cart?

• Golf carts can be easily rented right from Fort Wilderness. Guests can make reservations in advance by calling 407-824-2724, based on availability. After arriving, guests can visit the Outpost to pick up the golf cart right at the resort.

Bringing your own golf cart?

• Golf carts are welcome, but for the safety of everyone at the resort, beginning June 1, 2024, must also be prepared to present proof of insurance and sign an agreement and waiver. Liability insurance must have minimum limits of $100,000 / $300,000.
• Third-party companies may not conduct business on Walt Disney World property.

As a reminder, our Walt Disney World Resort property rules prohibit unauthorized commercial activity at Walt Disney World. This includes unauthorized rentals brought onto our property by non-resort guests, such as RVs and golf carts. The full property rules can be found at Disney website. 

Tips for Navigating the New Policies

1. Pre-Arrival Planning: Review the resort map and policy guidelines to get a sense of where you’ll be staying and how to navigate efficiently.
2. Follow Resort Updates: Policies may evolve as Disney seeks to improve guest experiences. Stay up-to-date with any new announcements by checking Disney World’s official site regularly.
3. Pack Essentials: Ensure you have all the documents and gear needed for your RV, as well as a fully charged golf cart battery and any extras.
4. Talk to the Staff: Disney staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions about the policies.

Making the Most of Your Stay

Fort Wilderness is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering opportunities for biking, fishing, and horseback riding. The policy changes aim to provide a safer and more enjoyable experience for everyone. Whether you’re heading out for a family vacation or a weekend getaway, these updates to the Fort Wilderness RV & Golf Cart Policy ensure that your adventure remains as magical as the rest of your Walt Disney World vacation.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had.  Will most definitely be using him again.   He took care of everything and kept me on track.  Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
