Disney World

Walt Disney World is fantastic, scripted, sanitized, outlandish, fun, silly, unreal, wild, silly and a whole lot of adjectives. It’s a great opportunity to be a kid again, or just be childish, especially if you don’t mind paying for the privilege. Everyone should get at least two chances to go, once as a child and then again as an adult.

Who is sleeping with Cinderellla tonight?

I’ve been lucky enough to go a couple of times as a so-called adult, but this was the first time camping…or at least our version of camping.

Robin reserved a site a Ft. Wilderness several weeks before we left home, an unusual act of planning, but on-line digging had shown that sites were hard to come by, especially on the weekend. We were booked for 5 whole nights, which was exciting for me. I love long stays in campgrounds and 5 nights was our longest stay since boot camp back in September.

Check-in at Ft. Wilderness Campgound

The campground was really nice; Disney nice. It had good signage, perfectly planned loops and roads allowing privacy and reasonable backing in. Concrete pads, picnic table, good water, sewer and cable hookups were there. Nearby were bathhouses, laundries, garbage and recycling bins plus proximity to Disney transportation. Pools, playgrounds, general stores, bike rentals…all at our fingertips. It was a great campground at a great price. But it was Disney. It goes with the territory!

Everyone has their favorite Disney things, and ours are:

Good food at Flying Fish Café, The California Grill and Jiko…

Water parks, especially Typhoon Lagoon’s Crusher Gusher water roller coaster and the lazy river

Magic Kingdom’s Pirates of Caribbean and Jungle Safari – hey the classics are the best

Animal Kingdom’s Safari especially early in the morning when the animals are really active, and as always, Epcot.

There's so much I could write and so many pictures I could post, but none of them would really do it justice so I'm restraining myself and following are photos of our some of favorite things. Enjoy.
