View attachment 134582 Suburban is loaded up just need to load up the wife and kids for out long 20-25 minute drive down to the Villas at the Grand Floridian.

That looks like my car... for a three day visit, lol. We Floridian DVC members are going to be so unhappy if we ever move out of Florida and are no longer able to take most of our house/kitchen to WDW.....

Today is the day we leave a little after 10am and make our long trek down to WDW we should arrive around 1030am photos to follow later today.

A long, exhausting road trip ahead, right?

Can't believe you live so close. From when I leave the house it will be at least 16 16 hr journey to get there from Liverpool, UK.
Have fantastic time, hoping to go to GF next year, we have 2 holidays booked for Florida.
