Walt Disney World


















We stayed at Fort Wilderness Campground, a well designed and maintained facility with cabins, tent and RV sites near the Magic Kingdom. Access to the Magic Kingdom is easiest by boats while the other amusement parks are accessed by Disney buses. Because we were gone for so much of the day, the dogs stayed with the on-site kennel. The staff was fantastic and after the first day, the dogs walked right in and greeted the staff with wagging tails so we assume they were content. At the end of the days and on days 'off' from touring parks, we walked the dogs at the new dog park. Well fenced and quite large, the dogs enjoyed time to run off leash and meet other visiting dogs and owners.












Some of our favorites at each amusement park






Hollywood Studios (formerly MGM): new Toy Story ride at Hollywood Studios (be prepared for very long waits and stiff competition for Fast Passes), Star Tours, Indiana Jones adventure show, Fantasmic light show











Magic Kingdom: Space Mountain, Buzz Lightyear, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, fireworks (including the flying Tinkerbell that was suspended over our heads), Pirates of the Caribbean



Epcot: Mission Space (boy favorite), Test Track (boy and dad favorite), Soaring (mom favorite), Illuminations, food from the different countries, blooming landscapes (mom favorite)






Animal Kingdom: Kali River (boy favorite), Dinosaur, It's Tough to be a Bug show, Kilamanjaro Safari
