The Amazing Race...thru Disney

I feel like we have just completed the Amazing Race! We spent five intense days on a madcap romp thru Disney World. Any of you who have traveled with someone whose initials are GDH will know exactly what I mean. :-)

After we purchased our passes we sat down to put a gameplan together how to best "conquer" Disney. There is strategy to this. Our first obstacle was agreeing where we would go. Can you believe all three of us had different ideas about what was important to see and do?

Disney World is the largest entertainment complex in the world. Sprawled out across its 47 square miles are 4 theme parks, two water parks and Downtown Disney for shopping. With a combination of practicality and compromise we did come up with a plan.

We are staying at Disney's Fort Wilderness - the only on-site "resort". Now this truly deserves the title of "resort". It has more than 750 shaded campsites, over 400 cabins, horses, pools, general stores complete with overturned barrels topped with checkers ready to be played, an amazing network of path and a transportation system that includes a most convenient boat option. We loved it here in '92 and it still is an amazing place to stay.

I am going to blog the parks separately. Time has been a major issue as you can tell by my absence.
