Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground lit up the Fourth of July with a spectacular golf cart parade that has become an annual tradition. This year’s parade, which began at the Hitch-Unhitch Area at 4 p.m. sharp, was a vibrant celebration brimming with patriotic spirit and Disney magic.
Participants, who needed to sign up in advance, showcased their creativity by adorning their golf carts with an array of festive decorations. From large Mickey Mouse inflatables to glittering American flags, these mobile displays sparked joy among the resort’s guests, who exclusively attended the event. The procession made its way through the resort, culminating at the Meadow Trading Post, where judges evaluated the best-decorated carts.
Some guests embraced a pure Disney theme, featuring iconic characters like Mickey and Minnie Mouse, while others opted for a more traditional patriotic flair. One memorable cart was transformed into an adorable campsite scene with Mickey and Minnie roasting s’mores, embodying the whimsical charm of Fort Wilderness. Not to be left out, another participant showcased creativity by decorating their cart as a traditional Uncle Sam figure, complete with an oversized hat.
The parade wasn’t just limited to golf carts. There was a wonderful mix of participants, including guests in western attire and even Fort Wilderness Cast Members who proudly carried the resort’s flags. The engaging atmosphere was made even more delightful by the broad smiles and cheers of the spectators, who lined the streets to share in the festive spirit.
Once again, the Fourth of July golf cart parade has proven to be one of Disney’s Fort Wilderness’s most delightful community events, combining the enchantment of Disney with the exuberance of American patriotism. Whether you’re planning on attending next year or just reveling in the photos, this parade is a testament to the creativity and joy that Disney parks are known for.
