Wed., Jan 2/13

Up early (7:00 am). Time to shower then get everything ready to head to Fort Wilderness at Disney World.

Charlotte packed a travel bag with clothes, necessities and our meds. We will be putting the motorhome into storage here at the KOA then driving in the Del Sol to Disney. We will be staying with LNM (Liz, Nick and Marty) in their 5th wheel.

Lynda is also going to Fort Wilderness where she will meet her son and husband who are flying down to join her. Bob came to say good-bye as he has a campsite reserved at Fort Lauderdale, FL.

After breakfast we brought over some perishables that were left to Liz's RV as well as some travel items. Then I put the motorhome into the storage parking area.

I mapped out the route on the GPS in the Del Sol last night. Soon we were on our way. The toll road, a few miles south of the KOA, was easy. Not only was it shorter - there was little traffic compared to the I-4.

In less than an hour we were parked in the Fort Wilderness waiting area. We could see the entrance road from our parking spot. we saw Lynda arrive. Then LNM came about 15 minutes later. We pulled over into line behind them. A short wait in the entrance staging area until our site was ready and we followed LNM to their lot in the 1600 section.

Only 1 vehicle is allowed per lot. After unpacking other items from the car I returned the Del Sol to the overflow parking area. Liz picked me up and soon I was back at the campsite.

A number of the RV's are decorated for Christmas. The "Yellow" route bus stop is right across from our campsite. We took it around Fort Wilderness - then transferred to the "Orange" route to check out the decorations. We returned to our area again by taking the "Yellow" route back to our site.

The award for Christmas Decorations definitely goes to the lot right across the road from our spot. It has a huge number of decorations with many being animated. Santa, by the roadside, sings Christmas songs and greets all who come near. A LED lighted path guides visitors through the decorations. Wow!

This has been a tradition for the RVer at this site for several years. He adds more each season and is in the process of converting all the lights to LED's so he can power even more lights next year. It is amazing what he has done with a standard 50 amp service that also powers his motorhome.

Liz made a great snack style supper. A little TV and then Charlotte and I retired to the pull-out sofa that will be our bed for our stay. It is always a treat to stay at Disney!
