Disney World for Deb's 50th, Florida
January 12 - February 3, 2024
After several turbulent years dealing with the pandemic, Deb decided she needed to have fun for her 50th! Heeding a suggestion from a friend, it was set that the place of fun would be Disney World! We wondered if it would be as magical as we remembered it 14 years ago...We met up with some family and friends and enjoyed a fun filled time down in Florida!
Our Accommodations
We stayed with our friends in a 2 bedroom Airbnb in the Blue Heron Resort complex. It was about 15 minute Uber to Disney and was a spacious and well stocked unit. Bonus that it had a view of the lake, a pool and hot tub.
We really enjoyed our stay here.
Our Accommodations
Right across the street from our first accommodations was the Sheraton Vistana Resort where we stayed with Deb's sister and brother in-law for our last week in Florida. It was a beautiful resort with awesome amenities.
We had great days lazying by the pool and fell in-love with pickle ball!
Disney World
We had a fun filled week exploring all 4 parks of Disney World
Epcot, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios
Though it was suppose to be a lower crowd time of year, the parks were very busy. We had lots of walking and lots of standing in lines but we made the best of it. We managed to ride the four new attractions (1 new ride at each park) that included Guardians of the Galaxy coaster (had us screaming our brains out!), Tron coaster (which also had us screaming our brains out!), Avatar 4D ride (which was an awesome experience), and Star Wars (which was very well done and was more of an experience rather than a ride). Too difficult to capture Disney in photo's. But here's a few.
Lazy Days at the Resort, Daytona Beach, Daytona Speedway, Airboat Ride
After our week of Disney, we spent some time with Deb's sister and bro-in-law hanging out and having fun.
We did a Daytona Speedway tour and tried our luck at seeing some gators on a airboat ride, and otherwise spent some lazy days at the resort...all in all a great time!
