Can You Ride E-Bikes at Disney’s Fort Wilderness?

Kathy asked:

“Has anyone ridden e-bikes at Fort Wilderness? We booked a few months ago for the end of May and received an email saying no e-bikes. Is this true?”

As much as we love e-bikes for getting around, Disney’s Fort Wilderness currently prohibits their use. According to the official policy, this rule addresses safety concerns due to increased speed capabilities of e-bikes.
