Hi all. Just discovered the wonder of the boards a few days ago. I'm going to try and make the 5th. I saw someone mention a Facebook group somewhere in the 17 pages of this thread Is that the general DISBoards one or did someone start one specifically for Florida residents or solo travelers?

So excited to find the board. I moved to Florida in July and I've made far more solo trips than I can recall already. I just wish Bradenton was a bit closer to Orlando.

Welcome aboard! It's nice to see someone else from Bradenton on here... it is a little drive but it gives me an excuse to stay at the resorts more often

The FB group is specific to this thread. There is FB that is related to the Disboards though.

Welcome!

I am willing to create a phone list for anyone who wants to be included on that and okay with sharing numbers with this group only. Let me know if you have texting on your phone too. That way we can update any changes to the meet the evening before or day of. Just PM me, I will get it and reply. If your numbers are below 10 for posts... do some posting!


DFD miss you too!

 

[calurduran]

I'll pm you my info...in six posts

 

[DFD]

DFD miss you too!

Sha, Reb, Disznut... missing you guys...

i would be interested in knowing about those backroads ... can you give me directions? i am also an i4 traveler and even tho i mostly dont really mind the drive, i would love to have an alternative! thanks and WELCOME !!!

This is just an alternative route to get to I-4 past the Brandon/I4 junction and most of the congestion during the week. On the weekends I75 to I4 works fine but during the week it can be very painful going that way. These backroads are mine roads and have hardly any traffic. It also only adds 10 miles on to the trip.

Start at: Bradenton, FL

1. Head east on 1st Ave W toward 13th St W - 0.2 mi
2. Take the 3rd right onto 10th St W - 0.1 mi
3. Take the 1st left onto 3rd Ave W - 272 ft
4. Turn left at 9th St W - 0.1 mi
5. Continue onto FL-45 N/US-41 BUS N/8th Ave W - 1.5 mi
6. Turn right at 10th St W - 1.3 mi
7. Continue onto FL-43 N/US-301 N - 10.0 mi
8. Turn right at FL-62 E/Wauchula Rd - 19.2 mi
9. Turn left at FL-37 N - 23.8 mi
10. Turn left at FL-60 W/W Canal St Continue to follow FL-60 W - 5.8 mi
11. Turn right at County Line Rd - 7.4 mi
12. Turn left to merge onto I-4 E - 40.1 mi
13. Take exit 67 toward Epcot - 1.7 mi
14. Merge onto FL-536 W/World Center Dr - 0.2 mi
15. Continue onto Epcot Center Dr - 0.9 mi
16. Take the ramp to Buena Vista Dr - 0.3 mi
17. Turn right at Buena Vista Dr - 0.7 mi
18. Turn left - 0.2 mi
19. Turn right Destination will be on the left - 0.1 mi

If you are interested, we will be having a dismeet on June 5th at the Magic Kingdom 2:00PM, for a ride on the train. We will meet upstairs on the loading platform, towards the rear of where the train would be. This is not an all day meet, but if you want to latch on to any of us for the rest of the day, you're more than welcome to
