Disney World & Fort Wilderness – Orlando, Florida

January 21, 2014   Not our first time at Disney, but first time together.  First time for both of us at Fort Wilderness. First time for both of us when it was this cold. All I’m going to say is the dress of the day was LAYERED (especially when you left your winter coat in Connecticut).

*****Fort Wilderness Campground is great. Once we figured out the shuttle system we were golden. We did not have a reservation, but got in easily. The campground was $75 a night which was reasonable for all you got. Anyone that has been to Disney knows that everything here is over the top.  If you drove in for the day parking alone was $10 for a car and $16 for an RV.

I loved every site!  I loved every site had there own little (kid sized) trash can.  Maybe I just love everything about Disney.

*****Our first night we went over to Downtown Disney. We saw an amazing street performer, Michael Marx,  an acoustic guitarist. He was so good we sat through two sets. The singer, guitarist that performed in between was pretty good.  He did all requests and there weren’t many he didn’t know.  Of course, we went to Ghiardelli Chocolates for Free – bees.

January 22, 2014 David only wanted to do one park so it was difficult to pick.  I thought Epcot had the most things that he would like. I go often enough with the kids that this one was for him. We opened the park. It was a super time to go.  We walked on to all the rides except Soarin.  We got a fast pass to come back 7 hours later.  You can get fast passes on line now. I can’t imagine what it will be like during prime tourist season.  We had a wonderful day, but that was enough Disney for David.
