Sunday morning, we drove south from New Smyrna to the northern section of
the Canaveral National Seashore. At the small information center there
we picked up the Jr Ranger program and watched a short video. We then
drove a short distance down to the Edora area, located on the west side
of the peninsula, bordering the Mosquito Lagoon. That body of water is
accurately named - even though it was January, the air was thick with
mosquitos as we walked down to the old house there, which holds a small
museum. Unfortunately, the museum was closed. We got back in the RV,
and headed down south to the end of the peninsula, but there were no
other places to stop and get out. All the parking lots on the ocean
side of the park were pretty full, and had no RV parking.
We drove back
to the information center, finished the Jr Ranger packets, and turned
them in. We were really looking forward to this park after so many
forts - we thought the kids would be able to walk along the beach and
see some marine life - so the reality was somewhat disappointing. We
headed back north to New Smyrna, then turned southwest to Disney World.
We
arrived in the Orlando area Sunday afternoon, and after a stop at the
Character Warehouse to see if we could find any bargains on old Disney
merchandise, we drove into Downtown Disney, where we purchased some
tickets, made a reservation for a Vacation Club tour, ate at the
Rainforest Cafe, and did some shopping at the World of Disney. Then it
was back into Kissimmee to stay the night, as our reservations at Disney
World did not begin until the next day.
The weather today was warm and sunny, so we decided to begin our first full day at Disney World at the Blizzard Beach water park. In the afternoon, we checked into the Port Orleans - French Quarter resort, took a tour of the new Sarasota Springs resort, and then ate dinner at the French Quarter food court.
