April 9 to 12, 2016 : Disney Set the Stage ... but the Act Just Keeps on Getting Bigger - Orlando, Florida

Disney, Universal, SeaWorld, Lego Land, Busch Gardens ... Oh My
April 9 to 12, 2016





Most people know of Disney World, the infamous attraction in Orlando, Florida ... .but what about the other numerous gargantuan entertainment Attractions ?


My goodness,  where Las Vegas is Spectacle, Orlando is Sprawling and Magical.    The theme parks go on for miles and miles .... and so do the people.


Borrowing an image from FloridaTravelMap.com, one can see the number of Attractions in the Orlando area.

This page has a number of scattered images of small parts of both Disney and of Universal Studios.


I called ahead to find Doug, an associate from the Construction industry in BC, to see if he would be around.   Yessiree ... and that was good news.  I was able to park the motorhome in his Community Estates marina area - a private gated community.   Nice to be in Orlando for 4-6 months each year, and settle back to Stewart, BC for the summer fishing season !

An awesome winter home with all the comforts ...










Disney World for dinner the first night, then joining up with John & Monica, neighbours across the street, for a trip into Universal Studios.

Another neighbour of Doug's, Miguel, is a captain on one of the boats in Universal and we hopped on board to check out his route and to get to the restaurant ....

A terrific spot in a Venetian themed location ... accessed by water taxi.

Steve D, Doug S., Miguel, John	Universal Studios	Oasis ... man made.
Universal Taxi's ... c/o Miguel !	Venicia !    Dinner was Fabulous.	Universal water ways - Impressive

Guitar Man at Disney 

Doug tells me that no trip to Disney is complete without listening to the "Guitar Man" ...  WOW ... what a talent.   Really enjoying spending some time watching.   Great chance to check out the crowds too ... watch the video below ... 9 Mbytes.. 

The Never-ending Shows ! 

Millions and millions served .... almost round the clock.  Orlando would take months to fully take in !!

Sandhill Cranes ?   Herons ? or Egrets ?  hmmmm

After several great days and eyes wide open visits ....  it was time to go 

.... loading up and a few tweaks on the Motorhome ... 


and then the locals walked by !


Had to laugh ... 

Check the trip routing here ... on Google Maps ...
