Since golf cart questions come up just about every day, I figured I'd consolidate some info. in one thread. Feel free to add on or (since some info here is from older posts) let me know if any info is incorrect and I'll update accordingly.

OFF-SITE RENTALS
10/07/09 UPDATE:
BAD NEWS folks. Word has come today from Shawn at Golf Cart Enterprises that Disney will no longer be allowing them to deliver carts to the overflow lot. They are trying to work something out with Disney but it isn't looking good. GCE does have trailers available for rent to go pick up your cart yourself and I will post more info here on that once I have it. As of December'09 Kenny/Tee Time IS still able to deliver carts. I don't know if any other off-site rental companies have been effected.
These 2 companies have been used/recommended on this board:
- Tee Time Golf Cart Rental
- Golf Cart Enterprises

Delivery and pick-up times are 9am to 4pm, 7-days a week. Most of our carts have long tops that cover the backseat passengers also. Thanks, Mike 407 656-0995.

OTHER GENERAL GOLF CART FAQs & NOTES:
• both off-site rental companies noted above deliver to the FW overflow lot
• off-site rental carts are considered "personal" carts and must have the same equipment as the rental carts, incl. windshield, front and rear lights
• you do not need to notify FW that you will be bringing your own golf cart or renting one off-site
• there is golf cart parking which can be used by any golf cart (personal, Disney and off-site rentals):
- trading posts
- Trails End/Hoop Dee Do
- near campfire/movie (closest area too Meadows pool)

Photos of some parking areas HERE
• there are a limited number of recharging stations (plugs) in the golf cart parking areas at the Outpost and Settlement/Marina
• all cabins/campsites have their own accessible plug to recharge your cart
• you cannot drive golf carts on any roads outside of FW or on the road/path to WL
• 4 seater carts are large enough to hold 4 adults comfortably, but it is possible to squeeze in extras - particularly smaller kids - depending on size. Capacity limits are not posted/enforced. 6 seater carts are available through Golf Cart Enterprises (see above)
