There is NO random dancing at Disney! A June TR *NEW 9/19 *FINAL THOUGHTS*

Hi Kathy! The Waffle House was surprisingly good and cheap, to boot.

 

[Planning fanatic mom]

YEah for Waffle House!! Your drive sounds uneventful. Good for you. My DH is 10 months younger. Can't wait to hear more!

 

[dd50]

Glad to hear your car drive was uneventful. When I travel a distance with my 3 I really would like to put them off at a unknown off ramp but do try to keep my sanity.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Whew. I mean, I like the moon as well as the next person, but really one can only hear so much about it before going slowly crazy.

He just shook his head and pulled into the parking lot of the nearest one. I have to say, Waffle House was just what we needed. We got to sit down but service was super fast and the food was not bad, especially the hash browns. Yummy!

Ah, Waffle House! A Southern tradition!

Did you get your hash browns scattered, smothered, and covered?

The next day we'd be checking into the Beach Club!

Oh, this is what I have been waiting for!!!

Oh, let me see if I can remember...nope, can't but mine were with onions, Amelia's were with cheese (smothered?) and George's were with everything and covered with chili! His looked freaky but were actually quite delicious.

 

[Disneyvirg]

Great start!

Looking forward to learning about the title.

I'm impressed you drove down. I'm curious to see how the second day of driving went.

I can't remember which is which, but I do know that everything on it (cheese, onions, and chili) is scattered, smothered, and covered. So, George's were.

Gotta sign up for a Beach Club report! We're going to be at the Yacht Club in August

Cain't wait to hear more about your trip. And hats-off on the drive, I don't think I could do it (though your kids seem to have done super)

Gosh, all these smart men marrying us older women.

Hello! Thanks for reading. Oh, you will love the Yacht Club! I wish we had planned more time just hanging at the resort. There was one not so nice result of all the driving that I'll go into a little later.

hI Christine! Nice to "meet" you. Yes, Captiva is nice, we've been there before. I'd rather be in Sanibel or Fort Myers and just visit over to Captiva for a day or two. I like to see and do on vacation. I can relax at home!

Great TR so far- haven't seen the pix yet since I'm at work but you write well so I'll spy that when I get home tonight!

Can't wait to read the rest of your adventures!

 

[manntra]

Great start to your report! The Beach Club is so nice and SAB is so much fun! Great area to stay!
Looking forward to some pictures and seeing what the dancing is all about!!

Hello! Thanks for joining in. We usually make it over to Captiva for dinner once, usually the Mucky Duck. You're right, its much quieter than Sanibel but so pretty.

Great start to your report! The Beach Club is so nice and SAB is so much fun! Great area to stay!

Welcome! Thanks for hopping on board. You are so right about the Epcot area! We loved the BC and SAB and seeing the Boardwalk across the lake.

 

[DisMomAmy]

Yay! You started!! I'm glad I found you today before you got too far ahead of me.

So I have to know... how many hours was the drive? You must have driven about 18 hours on day 1?? And how much did it cost you for gas? Sorry if I'm jumping ahead in your report, but we are about 24 hours from Orlando and sometimes I wonder if driving is possible for us. There would have to be a lot of video games.

 

[cjackearl]

Hi Amy! Glad you bopped over. Hmmm..well, according to Mapquest and AAA, it should have taken us a little over 15 hours to drive to Valdosta, GA on Day 1. It took us more like 17, and that was on a Sunday. I HIGHLY recommend driving on Sunday because the traffic was negligible. We stopped fairly frequently though, including a lunch break where we go out, had a picnic that I'd packed and played some tag for awhile. Day 2 took us another 4 1/2 hours with a few stops and a little directional oops.

Gas wise? We started out with 1/2 a tank and filled up 3 times on the way down for around $40 a tank. Yes, lots of video games, DVDs, books, stickers. I'd avoid Travel Lite Brights and Legos. Ask me how I know. Oh, and the boxes worked great!

HI. I'm in. Ate at Beaches and Cream and really thought the pool area was spectacular, especially for kids..

Hi and Yes, the pool was at the top of our Favorite Things About BC list. Sadly, we never made it into Beaches and Cream and I know there was a No Way Jose in there with my name on it.

I will pick it up for you in August.

I will pick it up for you in August.

It's good to have friends.

 

[eandesmom]

I'm in!

BC! I'm so excited. I really really want to stay at BC. Well in our case BCV....we are just too big! But....much as I want it....THV "fits" the crew better for the next trip. I kept trying to make BCV fit and it was like the prince putting the shoe on the stepsister. So I'll have to figure out a way to do BC some other time!

I can't wait to read about it! And SAB!!!!!

Waffle House. I Waffle House!

No Waffle Houses up here....I have to go to FL to get me some! Yum!!!!!!!!
