About That Disney World (March 16 - 22)

Dear Family and Friends,

Hello from Disney World in Orlando, California. We arrived here on Wednesday, after spending the first part of the week in Punta Gorda. One of the best things about RVing is visiting friends along the way. Before we left Punta Gorda, we got to see friends from Missouri, Bunny and Joe. Also we were able to work in a few more games of Pickle Ball. Did you happen to see the NBC network news episode where Brian Williams stated that Pickle Ball is the fastest growing sport in the country?

Our drive to Disney World took us along US 17, then Interstate 4 into the park.

 Welcome to Walt Disney World

 We stayed at the Fort Wilderness RV park.

 Our spot at Ft. Wilderness

As many of you know, Disney World has four major theme parks with many more attractions in other areas. We opted for the following:

Day One - Set up the RV and had dinner at the Hoop Dee Doo Musical Dinner Show.

Day Two - The Magic Kingdom
     This was a long day! With the park opening at 8 o'clock, we were able to visit all of the attractions that we wanted to see. We went back to the RV to give Bear a break then returned to the Magic Kingdom for the night time Electrical Parade and Fireworks.
 Lots of princesses at the Magic Kingdom

Day Three - Epcot
     This was my favorite! With the International Flower and Garden Festival going on, we saw incredible topiaries and flowers.



 Inside of the Butterfly Garden, there were beautifully blown glass butterflies and flowers posing with  the real thing.

Day Four - Disney's Hollywood Studios

The scariest ride we rode in all three days was Rock' N' Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith. Roger poses in front after we finished the ride.

Our final day at Disney World will be on Sunday. We have opted for relaxing around the pool and taking it easy. Yes, we are tired after our three and a half day adventure at Disney World. Thank you for checking in with us. We leave for Jacksonville on Monday morning.
