Rent a Surrey Bike
On Memorial Day, my family wanted to go to Walt Disney World for the day, but we knew the parks would be very crowded. Instead, we decided to eat an early dinner at Beaches & Cream at the Beach Club Resort. Afterwards, we walked around the lake to the Boardwalk Inn where we rented a surrey bike. The cost was only $19.00 for a half-hour, 4-person surrey bike rental. My husband and I sat in back to operate the steering wheel and pedals, and the triplets sat in front where they could see all the sights. We had a great time and lapped the lake twice before our time was up. On a less crowded day, we probably could have gone around one or two more times.
Here’s a warning, there are no gears on the surrey bikes, so you can only pedal up to a certain speed. That means you can only gain a certain amount of momentum as you prepare to ascend a hill. There are two large hills on the route around the lake at the Boardwalk Inn, so if you’re not in great shape, you might want to rent a surrey bike at a different location with a flatter path. Surrey bikes are also available for rental at the Caribbean Beach Resort, Coronado Springs Resort and Port Orleans Resort - Riverside and French Quarter. They are also available for rentals of various lengths of time and in various sizes to accomodate larger groups. Of course, prices vary based on the length of time and bike size you rent.
If you need a break from the parks, renting a surrey bike is a great diversion and a lot of fun!
