For example, for kids to leave their site/cabin, get on the internal bus, and get a snack from the Settlement trading post, without an adult? Thanks!
DW will not let me get on the bus and go for snacks by myself and I'm 63!!

If you don't keep them supervised they may wind up at the outlet mall.
Thanks! Yes, I know a lot of families/individuals have their own rules and opinions--but I was wondering if there was any official Disney policy. I will be at the Fort with my family in January and will probably order groceries to be delivered to our cabin. My husband and older kids will be taking a later flight and not arriving until late at night. I was just trying to think--if I needed to wait around for the groceries, but my younger kids (age 11 and 13) were hungry "RIGHT NOW" would it be ok to send them off to buy something to eat?Hum, this can be really opinionated and possibly cause a stir but hopefully not.
My girls are 12 and 6 and I wouldn't allow them to do it. A lot of places you go such as pools will have signs that may read "no one under the age of 12 allowed without supervision" but the example you give I cannot recall seeing any specific rule about riding an internal bus and buying stuff at the Settlement. Swimming at the pools, horseback riding, operating golf carts yes there is a minimum age / weight.
Just have to use your judgement. Some of the 12 y/o are more responsible than 15 y/o. Or even 25 y/o for that matter...
OP, you know your kids best as to whether they are mature enough to navigate around and not get distracted from their task at hand. The bus drivers are too busy spreading unsubstantiated gossip to keep up with them.

Our oldest, a dd, would have been plenty capable of taking an internal bus at Disney to the trading post. At 13, she was very mature, and very trustworthy. Our ds 10 would have been fine with her. Our ds, at 13, alone - no!! You know your children best!
