Not really sure why we took this
trip but what the heck. We up and drove to Orlando
Florida this weekend. We stayed at the Comfort
Inn at Cross Roads right near the entrance to
Celebration Disney property. Friday night we just
drove down, had dinner with Twisters parents in
Ocala, FL at Sonny's restaurant. When we got to
Orlando, we decided to stay down at Celebration
rather than on International Drive for the easy
access to Downtown Disney (DTD) and Disney's transportation
complex. Saturday morning we got up and went to
Sizzler restaurant for breakfast for the buffet.
After breakfast we went over to Downtown Disney
and looked around. After DTD we went back to the
hotel to spend some time in the swimming pool.
We ordered Brick Oven Pizzas. After pizza we went
down to Hwy 192 and went to Old Town. Old Town
basically an open air mall that is set up like
a town from the 30's. There is a classic car show
and drive every Saturday night. There are also
several rides at Old Town. We have this thing
we do sometimes we do when we are in Orlando.
We use some tricks of the trade to get into Disney's
Contemporary Resort (two security check points
you have to get past) and get on the monorail
to do some joy riding. This time we stopped by
all of the resorts that the Monorail system stops
at and took some pictures for the site. Usually
we do this at just about dusk, that way we also
get to watch the Fireworks show. We finally got
back to the hotel at about 11:00pm. When we got
back, we all showered and Gambler updated the
site. Sunday morning we got up and packed up the
hotel room then went down to check out. We went
to the hotel restaurant for their breakfast buffet
then headed home.
