Resort Launches!


Ah, the Resort Launches! These are the places where the Walt Disney World Boats stop for guests from the Magic Kingdom to climb aboard and head back to their Resorts! There are Resort Launches for Wilderness Lodge, Fort Wilderness, the Contemporary Resort, and the Transportation and Ticket Center. There are also Resort Launches for Disney's Polynesian Resort and Disney's Grand Floridian Resort.

My Next Trip To WDW is Coming Soon!

Hey. That's right, I'm heading to Walt Disney World again for an unexpected vacation. You see, a close friend of mine surprised me less that a week ago and told me that he's getting married in Boca Raton, FL soon. So since I have to spend the money to get on a plane and go there, I decided that I also have to visit Walt Disney World. So, I've done the following: booked a non-Disney resort close to WDW for a week through RCI, got my airline tickets, booked 2 nights at Saratoga Springs Resort at WDW for 2 nights, and rented a car for 9 days. I still have to make my reservations for Fort Lauderdale, but I'll do that soon. I already have my Disney annual passport, good in Florida and California. Now all l have to consider is spending money (or spending credit cards), and decide if I want the Disney Dining Plan for my 2 nights at Saratoga Springs.

I will arrive on a Sunday night to Orlando. I'll drive to my resort (where I've never stayed, but it's an RCI Gold Crown Resort). Then I'll get up early the next day and go to either EPCOT or Animal Kingdom. I will wind up at both of those parks that day. I will probably drive to Ft. Lauderdale on Wednesday. I'll go to the wedding on Thursday night, and drive back to WDW on Friday or Saturday. I'll stay the weekend and fly back to Los Angeles on a Tuesday afternoon.

As I decide the details of my trip I will be posting it here, to help me think! I want this to be a relaxing vacation.
