Do you live near WDW?

I don't want to derail this thread but since all of you "Orlando people" are tuned in, can you tell me what the heck is going on around there.

My mom just drove down to Florida last week for a spur-of-the-moment vacation. She went to St. Augustine and Sarasota.

She decided that she wanted to stop at Disney and have dinner at Boma. She had been absolutely craving it since our June trip.

Anyway, she absolutely could not get a reservation (she called a day ahead). So she gave up that idea. Then she decided to drive around the Disney property and the DTD area. She said it was just so congested she could hardly get anywhere.

Now we were just there in June and I don't recall traffic like that. She was astounded. And what's up with not being able to get into a restaurant on a weekday in January?

I'm not sure why, but the parks were pretty busy last week. Maybe the preview of EE has something to do with it. I went to DTD yesterday for lunch and had to park in a far parking lot. That is unusual for this time of year midday.

Away by car, and 1 hour away by plane....yes I take a plane and ME to WDW about 4 times a year. If I lived there, I would go EVERYDAY, and probably be bored with it.....NOT!

I am less than 1/2 hr to the WL. We don't go to the parks very often, DTD a few times a year. I still want it to be special for my DD even though we live here.
