Day 1, Sunday June 23: Left Seymour, CT at 12:20 PM. On my second lights check, trailer left rear turn signal burned out...move Tahoe and trailer with family onto road,run into house to get keys to other car and run down to auto parts store for replacement. Run back, install, on our way only 20 minutes late. I hate northeast highways and traffic! But, arrive at Springhill suites on north side of Richmond at 95/295 junction at 9:40 PM. Not bad..off to bed.
Day 2, Monday June 24: After breakfast, leave hotel at 8:20 AM...make our way down 95 enjoying the typical game of watching for the “South of the Border” signs and everything else typical about the route. Both yesterday and today clear, blue, sunny driving days
! Original plan to stop in Jacksonville, but making such good time that we continue to Lake Mary (just northside of Orlando) and stay at Residence Inn. Get to hotel at 10:10 PM. Thought pretty good for Richmond to Orlando with trailer and stops.
Day 3, Monday June 25: Left hotel at 9:00 AM and then drove the gauntlet down I-4 (although a few less lane shifts than last year)and saw it....
Another mile-ish and off to enter Disney property....
Then park and have the balloon at Disney Springs up in the background...
Haven’t checked in to the Fort yet, but that is most likely because....
....we don’t have a site reserved!
. So, one last picture at World of Disney where family takes a quick peek in the foreground...
And so ends my Disney trip report. Melissa is getting some sort of special coffee drink she had read about that is available here (she wanted to stop for it as we were driving by anyway), but then off to Venice, FL for second annual my parents driveway camping trip. Be back via airplane and DVC in August!
I will camp here again someday I swear! Oh yes, it will be done
PS: Here is the drink at Joffrey’s at Disney Springs that we had to stop for:
