This is my favorite playground of all time and anyone who hasn’t visited this area before needs to. The theming and sheer size of it blows my mind every time. You can spend hours exploring in there. The brand new DreamWorks area is also impressive. The whole land is practically one huge...

I have a small USB rechargeable fan that doubles as a phone power bank. I bring it just about anytime I visit a theme park (at least once a week). It’s small enough to fit in my pocket, so it’s a no-brainer. But the main way I stay cool is by not visiting the parks in daytime. 😂 You can knock...

Oh nice. While we were at Fort Wilderness yesterday we talked about renting a golf cart at Halloween to see the campsites. Didn’t even think about Christmas.

Which resorts do you visit? We usually check out GF, Contemporary, sometimes yacht club, and sometimes WL. Are there more that are worth seeing?

We also *tried* to photograph the ears from each resort, but failed. I totally forgot about it at both Contemporary and Grand Floridian, and we also couldn’t find any at Art of Animation, but here’s the other 9.

Summary… I came up with this idea, and then immediately regretted it and dreaded it thinking it was going to be nothing but an exhausting transportation headache. I was wrong. It was so fun! We both had a great time and learned so much about each of the 12 resorts we visited. We had zero...

As much as we would have loved to *fully* explore Art of Animation and Pop Century, we have done so many times in the past and our feet were exhausted by this point in the tour. So we kept our exploring limited to the main/central areas of each. Art of Animation: Pop Century: We had...

We walked over to Caribbean Beach next, which I usually love, but after having just visited the fancy pants Riviera Resort, Caribbean Beach felt pretty Walmart at first. And the pool area was kind of busy and loud which I did not like. However, once we got to wandering, I remembered why I...

We dreaded the walk to the Skyliner from the Yacht Club because we were pretty tired, but we were looking forward to reaching the Skyliner portion of our tour. We got the Skyliner station at 7:14 p.m. and headed to the Riviera Resort. I was most excited about this because I’ve never been...

We were pretty unenthusiastic about the Beach Club / Yacht Club portion of our tour. There really isn‘t much to see in these resorts as the common areas are mainly just full service restaurants. The lobbies are cramped and crowded. The stores / grab and go areas are mediocre and the one at...

When we arrived at Hollywood Studios, we were relieved to see both the Skyliner and Friendship boats were still going in the rain. So we hopped on a Friendship boat to the Boardwalk at 5:38 p.m. I’ve seen bits and pieces of Boardwalk before, but not all of it. We started off with some...

Some photos from our unplanned boat ride from FW to MK. Anyway, we finally arrived at Wilderness Lodge at 4:28 p.m. It was raining pretty decently by this point, so we couldn’t explore outdoors by the pool and geyser and stuff too much. And we have stayed at WL before and dined...

Next we visited Fort Wilderness. After a really awesome and relaxing boat ride, we arrived at 3:11 p.m. We have explored some areas of Fort Wilderness in the past. We’ve stayed there before (it was the first place I ever stayed in 1982, and we did again in 2011), and we have eaten at...

Our third resort was of course, the final monorail resort, the Contemporary, and we arrived at 1:59 p.m. We were excited about this one because we have only ever explored about 2/3 of the main areas, and we’ve never been to Bay Lake Tower before. After doing a routine tour of the main...

We arrived at our second resort, the Grand Floridian, at 1:03 p.m. This is another one that we visit often and didn’t need to explore too deeply, but we were hungry so we visited Gasparilla’s. The desserts were tempting, but we opted to split a turkey sandwich and fries instead, which I failed...

Our first resort of the day was the Polynesian. We arrived at the main entrance at 12:41 p.m. We visit this resort often, so didn’t feel the need to do too much exploring. We did a lap around the main areas, and were sitting on a monorail by 12:59. Elapsed time so far: 1. Bus from DHS...

I've been an annual passholder for almost 20 years now, and 2 years ago we finally became "locals", and now live just a few miles from WDW. We visit so frequently that I like to come up with "challenges" to make our visits more interesting. Today's challenge was "visit all the resorts...

That video was taken May 12, 1989 according to the caption. I checked my old ticket to see if I could be in the video, but I didn’t go to Epcot until June 1 that year. Missed it by 3 weeks!

My grandparents started taking my dad to WDW in the early 70s when he was a teenager. My dad married my mom in 1977 and they spent their honeymoon at the Contemporary Resort. I was born in Oct 1981 and my first Disney trip (and my first ever vacation) was in May 1982, a few months before Epcot...

Because it takes all of 5 minutes to park in the MK lot and walk to the Polynesian. Same with parking in the Studios lot and hopping on the Skyliner.
