One new rule has gone into affect recently and that is Electric Bikes are no longer allowed at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground.

We were really looking forward to going to Fort Wilderness but now we are going to cancel since we cannot use our ebikes to get around. Not going to spend $70 a day for a cart and we're too old to ride bicycles.

Fort Wilderness has become a campground for 55 and older. Good luck supporting attendance by disgruntling families. I think the plan is to close the campground anyway. Disney wants to turn everything into vacation club properties. Just spend your money elsewhere and remember the fun times you had at Fort Wilderness because once again Disney has ruined one of its most beloved places.

We got stopped by security today when we were just sitting on our e bikes and were lectured by security as golf carts at a high rate of speed were whizzing around the security officer. Shame on Disney. We will not be back!
