Breezy2 18 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hmmmmm.....is there a golf cart ban coming in favor of bikes or some other type of shuttle ? The golf carts & drivers (definitely not the Fiends) have gotten totally out of control - could this just be the first step in a major change? It certainly isn't a step forward for golf cart users otherwise they would have expanded golf cart parking. If anything its an indicator of a thought process. Just wondering......

The word is they are going to expand GC parking up by Trails End and keep the "chaos" away from the Marina sidewalk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thats funny most of the carts I see I could walk faster then them. The people on bikes are the ones that will run you off the road. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But they did expand the golf cart parking area at Pioneer Hall about three years ago, and as mentioned a few posts above, the Outpost golf cart parking area has recently been expanded. If you stop and think how much profit Disney must be making on golf cart rentals, there is no way they are going to cut back on that. Seriously, it costs way more to rent a Disney golf cart than it does to rent a car. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We had to rent one for a couple of days in Nov. from the Car Care Center. 2 day car rental $89 (and they come pick you up). 1 day Disney Golf Cart Rental $74. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted February 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 On a somewhat different note...is anyone else confused by the sidewalk added next to the path from the 4-way stop down to TE? What I mean by this is, we always ride bikes at the Fort. At first, we tried riding our bikes on the new sidewalk, but then we were caught up with guests who were walking/pushing strollers. Now we use the golf cart path, which ticks off a few drivers...but, what else is a family to do? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Of course you wind up being the "stroller" if you get in a wreck with a cart. I know this isnt exactly a step out here, but the selfishness and rudeness of some folks on the golf carts was crazy last time we were there. I really hope they get it under control.

Agreed...and usually, were not that much slower than the carts (or how fast they "should be" driving on that path). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Generally a good thing - especially since you can't hear most carts when they come up behind you. The problem we run into (almost literally sometimes) is younger kids riding bikes by themselves the wrong way round and not paying attention. I can't count the number of times a kid came whipping around a curve and almost collided with us head on - and that was just this past trip. One time we were poking around our loop in the cart and had to stop dead and shout "HEY!!" because the kid was coming right at us weaving back and forth and not even looking up. He finally stopped about 3' from the front of our cart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess we should stop and thank them for disturbing everyone in all of the surrounding loops, after all it's a safety issue.

We've never had a cart with a horn so I forgot about those delightful individuals that mistake their golf carts for musical instruments. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigTom 76 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Along the same line, why don;t they have mufflers on those gas carts. If you can make a V8 car quiet, why can't they make a 1-2 cyl engine quieter. Some golf carts rattle the windows from a long distance away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On our last trip (4 weeks in the Fort) we rented a car for the entire trip. Cost us around $900 for an SUV. Renting a cart would have cost over twice that. That's why we bring our cart and rent a car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
