It's another cold one out there. So how about a day at Disney? I think I'll just keep posting pictures and stories all day long so we can take a little virtual trip together and escape this cold. And this way we'll pump these posts out in a day.
Not having our kids on this trip meant we really soaked up the details this time around. And Disney is in the details. Like how every railing is custom made to fit the feel of the ride. The cement has imprints to fit the ride and the music, smells, signage and architecture all work to make you feel like you've entered another world. It's really amazing.
We spent Monday night going from resort to resort by bus and by monorail. There is no cost for the transportation once you're inside the park. And even though we weren't staying at a resort in the park, we could still visit the resorts.
They are amazing. Each one feels like a little theme park unto itself. Monday night we visited Port Orleans, The Grand Floridian, Polynesian and the Contemporary and Wednesday while at Epcot, we took a boat to The BoardWalk, The Beach Club, The Yacht Club and The Dolphin resorts. I can't recommend this enough. You can eat at the resort restaurants, visit the shops, walk all over each property and go sleep at your cheaper hotel each night. :)
And for the record: The Polynesian (hawaiian feel and sadly, no pictures) was my very favorite, the Grand Floridian felt way above our income bracket, the Contemporary was cool and very trendy/retro (they must update the lobby every year to keep it contemporary!) The BoardWalk, Beach Club and Yacht Club were beautiful and it was fun to walk on the boardwalk with cute shops and food carts. The Dolphin is enormous and full of funny memories when we stayed there when I was in middle school. (Dad had a pastor's conference there! It was our fanciest pastor's family vacation ever.)
