MelbourneBeachChris 0 Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 We are staying in creek side meadows rustic camping. pLooking for secret things for them to do. Also best times to get at locations like fireworks, camp fire with chip and dale, and food? We are thinking about renting a golf cart. what do you think cart or use bus?

Travisma 1,317 Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Not really a secret, but a time saver. At the back side of the camping area there is a footbridge over to the 900 loop. Take that, curve to the right on the loop, and you come out right across from the Meadow Trading Post. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Welcome! A golf cart is only supposed to have a driver and three passengers. I don't see how that would work for a cub scout pack. Also, there are only a couple of electric outlets available at Creekside Meadow- so you may have to negotiate with others to plug the cart in to charge it. To get to the Meadow area (Trading Post, Pool and Campfire) use the footbridge that Travisma mentioned above. Everywhere else, use the bus. Or, if you take a left right after crossing the footbridge, walk along the path and it will take you to the 700 loop- it's not a far walk to the Settlement from there- a little hike is a good way to get the boys to burn off some energy.

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Also- make sure to consult the Activities Guide for February, 2017 when it is posted. They are usually not available until the first of the month. There are supervised activities every day, and your scouts are welcome to join in- note that there is a fee charged for some of the crafts- so you will want to avoid those, or bring money to pay. Here's the guide from February, 2016, which will give you a good idea of what may be offered: Definitely plan to go to the sing a long and campfire. Bring your own sticks and marshmallows, as they are expensive to buy there. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Roberta 42 Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 Just curious .... what is Creek Side Meadows? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 It is the group camping area just past Loop 2000. Designed for groups with tents. $10 a person per night, minimum 20 folks, fire pits made available, really just a big field with a bath house Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yup :) and you get electricity, water, and cable with a tent site..... that's why the tent sites are so overrun with groups a lot of the times Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unless a group rents out an entire loop (for example all of 1500), I wish they wouldn't allow it. Of course, how do you actually prevent it, except to limit the number of people (and tents) per site to a lower number? I don't know that Disney has ever enforced a per number/site rule. They may have one, but I don't know that they have every enforced it...which stinks if you happen to be neighbors with a loud group mouseketab.....Carol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BUT as you said enforcing it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
