For many years we rented a golf cart when we went to Ft. Wilderness. It was very nice to be able to casually drive around, and get places without having to worry about our car. You can only move around the Ft. Wilderness location. You cannot go outside, or anything like that.
I just read an article, and I would suspect that Disney is going to look at the ramifications, and maybe change their policies regrading personal golf carts. I hope the little girl recovers ok.
Here is the article…

Thats very sad to hear..
I’m glad the appropriate people are reviewing safety policies regarding carts.
Safety of patrons should never be taken lightly and is always a number one priority!
