"Our next adventure is officially on the horizon-our Disney Treasure cruise in January is now in the past and its onward from there. I did do a trip report on the cruise which you can find in the Disney Cruise Line trip reports section. This time it is just my wife and I, heading to Disney World for some well-deserved fun and relaxation. We will be staying at the Polynesian Resort, a memory filled spot with tropical vibes that perfectly set the mood for our getaway. In the early 90’s my wife and I invited my parents to go on vacation with us to Disney World and we stayed at the Polynesian. I smile when I remember how both my mom and dad were like little kids filled with excitement and we had so much fun together. Very sadly both are not with us any longer so there will definitely be times of joy and sadness.

Our itinerary is shaping up to be full of highlights: sampling the flavors of Epcot, exploring Disney Springs, and soaking in the magic of Animal Kingdom. let’s not forget about dining—we’ve got plans to check out some great restaurants across Disney’s resorts and the Springs. This trip is all about making more memories, enjoying the magic, and embrace every moment.

We know this will be a fun and exciting vacation which begins flying out of the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, arriving in Orlando. Then it’s off to check into the Disney’s Polynesian resort on April 26th. From there, April 30th we will drive to St Augustine beach where we rented a beach house. This is one of our very happy places to enjoy the beach, many great restaurants and sites. If you have never experienced this town which is the oldest continuously occupied city in America which dates from 1565. Yes, 55 years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. St Augustine is rich in history and has become a great mom and pop owned foodie town with many great restaurants to choose from. Trust me you could be there for weeks and never have to eat at the same restaurant twice.

On May 4th we will drive to Hilton Head Island where we have a condo waiting for us, just 2 blocks to the beach and so many great restaurants, comedy clubs and a play at the Arts Center.
The first time we went to Hilton Head Island we stayed at the Disney Hilton Head Island resort. We were so impressed with the island that we have returned many many times. But I have to mention the Disney HHI Resort. The service was just like old Disney, flawless…the resort is in a picturesque setting. It was one of our favorite trips, spending much time on our porch looking out at the water and marshlands.

We are expected to be going home on May 13th flying from Hilton Head Airport back home to Vegas. Though stranger things have happened, we may decide to stay longer. We shall see. Please stay tuned for the full trip report beginging around April 27th which will be a day to day report of our journey. Meanwhile I will be dropping a few sentences on all the activities and restaurants that we are booking before we head off. Thanks for reading and hope you enjoy.

Just finished making our dining plans for each night in Disney World and Hilton Head Island. We only have two reservations for dinner made in St Augustine because we love a few restaurants that do not accept reservations

In less than one week we will begin our adventure.

Our WDW first part of our trip is coming together just great! We have everything planned for the 1st leg of our fun filled vacation. Our stay will be at The Polynesian Resort, which is such a relaxing and immersive way to kick things off. After we get to our room and unpack, get freshened up we will head over to The Kona Cafe which is our first reserved dining adventure and where the Tonga Toast is legendary—I know we are ready for an indulgent start! After dinner we can relax for a little while and then its off to The Wicked Wind Down at Top of the World Lounge this should be an amazing way to take in the nighttime skyline and enjoy our first night of fireworks and fun.



Day 2: Epcot is perfect for a Sunday adventure, especially since we are visiting during The International Flower and Garden Festival. The one and only attraction that is a must ride every time we come to Epcot is Space Ship Earth and this trip will be no different. If that is the only attraction at Epcot we get to go on, all is good. We will definately be enjoying our stroll around the world but we will not be doing the Tic Toc hit “drinking around the world” where you have a drink at every country, I don’t think we would make it past the second country but our thoughts are with those who do. Then that night, dinner at The Ale & Compass which has such a cozy vibe—and a great choice for night two!



Day 3: Animal Kingdom on Monday will be a fun change of pace, with a mix of fun attractions and peaceful nature. We are so sad that the Bugs Life show is no more. We really enjoyed that. But we will be experiencing the Safari tour, that never gets old. After some time at the park we will head off to Steakhouse 71 at the Contemporary for a great dinner. This is a hidden gem with incredible food.



Day 4: Our Tuesday itinerary is pack full of fun things to do at The Magic Kingdom. Buzz lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin is a must do, and my wife and I love to torture ourselfs on its A Small World which we will be singing for the rest of the day. Then an easy monorail ride to Epcot and enjoy the Spice Road fireworks party. That should be a fun way to end the night!



Day 5: Closing out our 1st part of our trip will be with our tradition of lunch at The Boathouse there has never been a time we did not go to the Boathouse sometime during our trips to Disney World. Sometimes its dinner and sometimes its lunch before we head back to the airport to go home, but this time we will not be heading off to the airport. This will be the perfect farewell before heading to St. Augustine which is the second leg of our trip.



Everything about this trip is screeming “fun and relaxing vacation”! Since we go so much we will get to the parks, when we get there, we will go on what ever we choose and if we miss something oh well, there is always next time.



Our trip this time is really becoming a big adventure for us, Disney World, St Augustine and ending with Hilton Head Island. Usually our vacations are about 7 days and then its back home to Las Vegas but this trip will be 18 days. Believe me when I say we will have pleanty of relaxing time during our trip. I always hated when we got back home we needed a vacation from our vacation, not this time. I will try to write something for each day of our trip and hope you enjoy.
