Kidatheart 0 Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Kenny does a great job. Its not hard to meet offsite. Good directions to the meeting point. They help you in any way they can.. Great service and a great cart. 56 days 2 hours and 48 minutes till we are back at WDW ROLL TIDE.............. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ependydad...Doug 176 Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Wonder if we could just load it into the back of our pickups ( for those of us that tow with truck). Eliminate the need for a trailer. I know this post is old. But, the answer is no. I tried getting a rental for this past summer when we thought we were going to be at the Fort and 2 different campgrounds and wanted a rental for 2 months. Longest story shortest, they won't let you put the golf cart in your truck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Avatab.... Steve 124 Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Seems like the most customer friendly approach would be for a cart company to have a lot near FW and have a trailer for each rental GC. That way it's one stop on the way to the Fort, or one trip out to pick up. Then one trip back to drop off the GC and trailer combo when you leave. You'd have to find a spot for the trailer for your stay and the GC company would have to cover the cost of the extra trailers and insurance for same. Don't know if it would work, but it sure would simplify the process. It's a shame that they can't work something out w/ Disney to give them a cut of the rental fee in exchange for access to the Fort.

I believe there's not enough money to be made doing that. It's my understanding that's exactly what Disney did with rental trailers and with the real small guys/small units, there wasn't enough margin to make it worth their effort.

I was giving that a thought for our next trip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shoreline99 137 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Kenny is the man. If you need any details, let me know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Just keep in mind that the reason Kenny has to use a trailer is likely because Disney got the details of how he was operating by reading discussion boards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beckers 1,136 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Hey guys rentals are like fight club..... Don't talk about it( except in pm or other places that Disney can't read the details and shut it down). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Littleolwoman.aka.Kristie 119 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Maybe the fairies should remove this entire thread. If anyone started asking questions someone could pm them. Helmsey......Todd 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fortpartyof4 108 Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Just have to give a shout out to Kenny here.....we rented from him last week and had an issue with our cart. As it was one of the busiest times of the year, he had no other available carts to swap us out with. Cart still worked even with the issue so we just lived with it because Disney was also sold out. When we returned the cart he told us it was no charge due to the problems. Have done business with him for years, before we had our own cart and now on short trips it's too far to drag ours down there we use him. Always get excellent service!

ependydad...Doug 176 Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 I rented from Kenny and will do so again. I will NOT, however, trust his guy to hitch the trailer to my truck. It's entirely my fault that I let him and that I didn't verify it- but in my defense, it was a coupler that I'd never seen before and didn't understand how it worked. The trailer stayed hitched getting back to the Fort, but when I drove the cart onto the rear, it turned into a terrible see-saw and the trailer came unhitched from the truck. I got lucky that there was no damage to the truck and no one was around helping me. I ended up with a 6-person cart fully on the trailer and the tongue firmly on the ground. All while blocking the loop. A few guys helped me lift it up onto the ball and then we rehitched it properly. My big disappointment was the general lack of response. The guy I returned the trailer to said "Sorry" but didn't seem to care. And I ended up texting my contact who said Kenny would call and, unfortunately, he didn't. Pretty scary, pretty frustrating. If you do the trailer thing and use your truck/their trailer- double check the hitching. It was likely a 1-off occurrence, but once was more than I cared to experience.

hunter99 7 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 We are going to try him on an upcoming trip. As for hitching to my truck, I do that. I never let anyone else hitch to my vehicle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We have had different guys meet us for pick up. I am sorry to read that someone had a bad experience, but again, I have only had the best of service from him and his staff. Hope you have a great trip and enjoy looping in your cart! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hunter99 7 Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Just a follow up. Used Kenny and everything went great. Ended up having to use his truck as my hitch is a little low but the total time to drive over, meet him, take the truck and trailer, drop off, and bring back to him was around 45 minutes. He was busy on check out so I just had to drop it off with the next customer. Not a single problem, couldn't have been happier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hunter99 7 Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Forgot to add. I hope Disney leaves him alone. I say this because he put no advertising on his cart. There were quite a few other carts from other companies at the Fort with large advertising decals on them. I can see Disney having an issue with them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It seems Kenny's been very careful not to push his luck with Disney, and that includes never putting any kind of branding or advertising on his carts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We've used his carts for the last several years, he's always been great to deal with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That took me 70 (and that was without dropping the trailer/cart). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
